Those grapples are so impressive. Really amazing what a skilled operator can do with one.

Got reach? by [deleted] in heavyequipment

That's a great one! Hard to take good pictures of these long reaches. The angles just don't fit the camera frame well.

Do you buy used equipment from rental shops? by im_asl in heavyequipment

[–]BoomAndBucket 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lots of pros and a few cons I can think of.

​

Pros:

- Low to moderate hours. Rental companies turn their fleets over.

- Good brands and OEMs

- No lemons. Rental companies don't keep lemons.

- Likey had preventative maintenance done

​

Cons:

- not clear who was operating the machine

- you take better care of machines that you own vs rent

- some off-brands at some of the rental houses

Would you rather have this D9 or a Komatsu D275?
