    I got 3/4" so I know it wont break, I do sometimes drive my bucket truck in and out of lawn on these mats, one day I got stuck in my own yard on a wood chip road and used these mats to get my loaded truck out, trucks almost 40K loaded with a chipper and all, they made bad sounds but held fine...

    because I basically am? BTW I buy my large pipe wrenches at harbor freight, get the fence rail for cheap because reasons lol why would I go spend $$$ on a socket set that I use once a year when a pipe wrench will do the same job? ive even had my 10 ton portapower set up to push on the pipe...

    hell even my mini skid needs a 1 1/2" socket on a swivel to tighten the tracks, the excavator has surprisingly small bolts going to be honest, the "big" tools dont start till you are on the big equipment, get something like a CAT 330 and expect to get out the big stuff, 1" impact, gas axe, all...

    im not sure, my mini skid I dont count as "heavy" but my excavator I do, a 3000 pound machine and a 10000 pound machine are vastly different levels of "heavy" and not just in weight

    I did the trailer hitch, use it almost every day, and I did the "crappy forwarder" with my branch manager and dump trailer in a backyard 2 weeks ago a even half decent operator can get an ex into some insane places, even still I look at stuff and go "no way it can get in here" and yet I surprise...

    true, but not the next morning if it was an issue, I would be out of business, im usually working on milti million dollar properties out on the lake, im known for being the guy that doesn't damage the lawn I will agree, the excavator can do a hell of a lot of damage really, really fast if you...

    exact opposite actually, I ran on a lawn all morning today and you cant even tell it was in there, no mats or anything and its SOGGY ground lately when you turn, you put the bucket down and lift the tracks slightly, so instead of 10ft of track turning, now its 4 or 5 inches, and in a straight...

    excavator > articulated loader > skid ive ran all 3 extensively, in the same conditions, the excavator will do anything either machine does, lifts more and higher, reaches further, only downside is they track hella slow (still faster than my mini skid by like a lot) but, the chinaskid is 10...

    I had that concern when I demo'd a Giant G1200 loader, nowhere to get parts online, gotta go to the dealer, and good luck when the dealer is Li Cheng in mainland china that being said, they are very simple machines, the chinese have over simplified them compared to European or American...
