15 foot box what is the cubic yard capacity with the side boards? How many miles have you put on it in the 5 years? 505 HP 1850 torque, it must pull the tag trailer with big excavator with ease, even up a hill. I would like to get a new dump truck, but my I know my owner operator operation could not make the payments on it so I keep my 32 year old ford FT900 going.
I'd guess it's a 15-17 yard bed without measuring exactly. I have about 28k miles on it so far. Not broke in till 50k I'm told it'll run even better then. Pulls very well. So I am a very small operation but have learned how to maximize profits 24 years. I have 2 guys that work for me part time and my wife and kids help me do all the septic installs.. I happened to get some really good paying jobs in recent years. I only do residential or development work but do alot of different things. I could just as easily still been running my 96 ih 2574 with L10 if things didn't work out like they did. But FYI truck price was $164k, $2400.00 a month for 7 years, more than what I got in my house!
On that Case 340 tracked skid steer could you see the cutting edge from the seat with out leaning forward? Is it a long bottom bucket or standard? That truck today would have another $75K tacked onto it so $240K, prices are nuts. I go to Machinery Trader and look at new dump trucks most $275K to $300K; some more $$$, most expensive listed today is one at $369K must include FET, plus the sales tax for me that would be $396K. Not many under $225K [for a new big high HP - high torque engine truck, in full size class 8 truck frame], mostly the small class 8 trucks - medium duty trucks like my FT900 are at $225K. Then new one ton nice gas pickups are just under $80K and a diesel is $100K. Life goes on. Big thank you for replying.
the equipment does not have to be all in one place; you can film it where it is comment on it where it is or voice over the film and patch every thing together. Also a history of each machine you have owned and some comment about, it through out the years, that should be a long show. That should get a lot views and subscribers. @@digginandbuildinwv7012
