I can't explain it, I read where someone else was saying it was not a secure anchor location.

That's how I do it as well.

How about build some trucks that the average person can afford that don't have all the fancy bells and whistles. Just saw a TFL video and the bare bones trucks are approaching 50k! An average consumer loan for 49K at 6% APR for 60 months is almost 1k a month before tax/tag/title and insurance...

Just curious as to what others would do. I am considering purchasing a new mini excavator 4 ton. One machine is roughly 10k more but has a 5yr. bumper to bumper warranty, that includes a service tech traveling to your location up to 300 miles round trip to fix an issue if needed. The other...

I am not able to.

I did not get one either :(

Thanks for clarification.
