The word "cheap" and what you are describing don't fit together. With fuel prices the way they are and not actually seeing what you are doing, hiring somebody to go out there with a dozer and a crawler loader and putting down some sort of road base, this could be a $150K problem. I could see...

Take a rough guess on how long you think it will take, add some more time because something will pop up then fit it into a hourly number that you are comfortable working for after you take in consideration insurance, fuel, skid steer maintenance, skid steer tires, depreciation, trailer...

A quick way to know when your in the field if the alternator is actually working is to touch a screwdriver or something steel to the back center of the alternator, where the center of the stator is rotating. If it's working, it will be creating a magnetic field and the strength of the magnetic...

Unless you were there when they poured the concrete and know for certain what is in it, I would tread very carefully. There is no real standard for rebar and wire mesh or anything else they could have buried in it. The work I've bid out has been some drive way and sidewalk removal. I got...

I'm new to the business and have tried bidding work out at $65 and have not gotten it, lowered it to $55 and I'm getting some work. This is just thru a local Craigslist ad. Most of the other guys are advertising on there anywhere from $45-65 and hour for skid steer work, $65-95 and hour for...

We sell Kangas and Boxers (another similar product) at the equipment dealer I work at. The biggest problem I've seen is people have a unrealistic expectation of what it can do. It's a 12 or 16 horsepower machine that weighs around 1500 lbs, it can not do the same job as a 7000 lb, 60 hp skid...

They are simple and inexpensive to work on and when it does need something, the local Case dealer stocks just about everything you could ever need to keep it going. The newer machines are alot more expensive per hour to run. One of the salesmen at the dealership and I was discussing this very...

Both the hydraulics and the side chain tanks use 10w30 motor oil, the side chain tank require about 3 gallons per side. Your goal is just to keep everything lubed by splashing around. Any more than that tends to overcome the upper tank cover seals and you end up with oil everywhere. Make sure...

I would think that your starter is rebuildable but in todays world with all the things coming from overseas they sometimes can sell a brand new one cheaper. I would double check and make sure your getting voltage to the solenoid. When I purchased my 1845C, it had a new starter on it, it also had...

I've found that WD40 works well as a starting aid, I've used this many times on motors that I've dropped the filters on and could not get to fire up again. It doesn't give that nasty preignition knock that knocks the rings out of a motor like either does.

Well, I registered to add my .02..... I'm a forklift mechanic so I have a little bit of experience with LP systems. I am not familiar with vh4d engines or garretson regulators but it all should function the same. The propane in the tank travels thru the hose as a high pressure liquid, thru some...
