I bought an ox thumb same price as you paid for that one. Hoses, couplers , everything included, it hooks to the bucket pivot as you wanted. 3/4" side plates. Real nice piece. I need to replace some bushings before i can install it. Only want to do it once. It has two ears to weld on for the top cylinder mount. I also have a couple buckets coming from rhinox buckets. A 9" toothed bucket and a 36" smooth ditch bucket. I may make a 5' smoothing beam also. Its a u17 machine. 1500 hrs .
Who are you getting insurance thru? I've been calling around and no one offers policies for rental equipment? Do you have an annual policy for all your equipment, or per rental insurance rider?
IH Schlezinger. They are actually a bigger yard. I prefer going to that one for steel at least vs. the one right next door. Sometimes I'll go to the one down the road on 5th ave if I'm running late. all three of them places are super busy usually. it's pretty wild.
@@scrapmanindustries yes I was just hauling some scrap there for my company I work for. Where I’m from the scrap yards do have near this much junk piled up in them!
I’m in a similar setup as you and growing quick. I have both a Bobcat E20 and an E26. They both have their place but the E26 is about the perfect size for most customers. Just plan to get 12”, 24” digging buckets and a 36”ditch bucket.
Hey Brandon do you have insurance to cover rentals on your equipment? Or are you just taking chances and filtering the projects/people you let rent it?
So a friend of mine started renting out his skid steer about 5 years ago. He now has at least a half a million dollars worth of equipment and is building a new shop on commercial property. Crazy how fast he grew. Glad to see your update.
Hey Brandon ! glad your back with the videos. Send me you email or a contact. I started a rental buisness after watching your videos. hope to talk with you soon.
Just grind the truck frame crack down real good and weld it from both sides, then weld in a plate on top of that, then add your cross beams. Probably less work then trying to take apart the back end of a rusted truck
@@ricepadi29 I’ll be putting a video out sometime today. The title of the video is Hows the rental business going lol. But it’s been going pretty good. You’ll have to watch the video when it goes live!
@@brandonsdiyprojects I’m getting some feedback from my insurance company on using my van for commercial use part time. Either I’m covered under my business for business use or personal and personal. Looking for a company that will give me a rider policy or something. I need to be covered regardless if I am doing personal or business. Do you use a company that covers both? If so, who? Thanks
Can you share your rental agreement and liability release? Been looking for good versions I can use to try to rent my equipment in my area! Plz and thanks
Good instructions! For myself i would not touch this RTV without gloves, i think it is not really healthy. I have to do this repair in the near future, because the car repair shop is to expensive for this. Greetings from Germany
Thanks for the breakdown brother. I’m looking to get into my first skid, purely for rental. I don’t get the emotional attachment to machines, it’s an asset for me that you have to protect..
