Ego-Scaper

[SRT8]

We try to buy everything cash if possible, and everything slightly used if possible.
All of our trucks are 05's or newer but they are all used except for a couple that we couldnt find good deals on used. Just last week i bought an 05 sierra 2500 duramax with only 40k miles and i only paid $17k. We search Craigslist like crazy trying to find good deals on used equipment. We are a good sized company that grosses over 2mil a year but just because we gross that much doesnt mean we will go spend $300k on trucks mowers and Bobcats.

Speaking of buying used - I am starting to look for a John Deere compact track loader, with no more than 1500 hrs. If anyone has one or knows of one within 150 miles from MD let me know

I have a NH tractor that I love. But I could never own a NH skid steer. The nurseries love them - great for loading mulch

Yeah i understand, i flip skid steers on the side. We use a takeuchi, and i am partial to them. I once bought a mustang mtl 16 for 10k w 1000hrs. The mustang and gehls are the same machine but dont seem to hold their value as well.
