Kamatsu Excavators

There are several sizes of Komatsu excavator choices available, from a very small unit with a 9-foot reach and a nearly five foot digging depth to a large Kamatsu excavator with a long 20 foot reach and a 13 foot digging depth all the way to a gigantic piece of heavy duty construction equipment with a 64 foot reach and 26 foot digging depth!>>> [Read More]

Compact Excavators

Similar to the skid steer loaders we talked about yesterday, a compact excavator is a very small piece of heavy duty construction equipment.  In fact, they are designed that way for two reasons: first, maneuverability and the ability to get into relatively tight spaces; second, ease of transport so they can be easily taken to residential areas and other places where heavy equipment and large trucks have a rough time maneuvering.>>> [Read More]

Skid Loaders

Similar to front end loaders, a skid loader (also called skid steer loader) is a piece of heavy duty construction equipment that is also seen on many job sites.  They get their name from their tank-like driving style, where one side or the other brakes, allowing the machine to “spin” as the other side propels it around.  Most skid steer loaders are tracked vehicles or four-wheel drive.>>> [Read More]

3 Point Backhoe Information

One of the most common heavy duty construction equipment tools are the 3 point backhoes.  These machines are all over the place and are most often attachments to another machine like a tractor.  Some backhoes for sale will be three point backhoes that attach to other equipment, like maybe a bulldozer for sale, another tractor, etc. but are still stand-alone machines so that they can operate independently with only a need for a PTO to attach to.>>> [Read More]

Front End Loaders

Considering heavy machinery, we here at Bulldozers For Sale thought that we’d start out with the most ubiquitous of the heavy machines: the front end loader.  While also called a bucket loader, scoop loader, shovel, or just a “digger,” these machines are the workhorses of the farm, ranch, dairy, construction site, and just about everywhere else.>>> [Read More]
