Both will be cab with high flow. The kubota comes in around $78,000 the kioti comes in $10,000 less, at $68,000. Would I regret buying the kioti? They’ve only been around 3 years. The price is appealing. Any thoughts or info would be appreciated.
This 2011 Cat 777D is sitting in the UAE with nearly 50,000 hours on the clock. It is a lot of use but mine trucks like this are built to run around the clock for years, so that number tells you it was a working machine. Two features on the listing explain a lot about how these trucks operate. First is the retarder. Going downhill with a full load, you can not just ride the service brakes the whole way or they will cook. A retarder uses the drivetrain to slow the truck so the regular brakes stay cool for when you really need them. Second is the heated body. Exhaust heat gets routed through the dump bed so wet or sticky material does not freeze or cling when you try to dump it. Pretty clever for something that is basically free energy. Those tires are 27.00R49, which means roughly 27 inches wide on a 49 inch rim. The truck is about as tall as a two story building when the bed is raised and the tires alone are taller than most people. The inspection notes mention a weld repair on the bed and a few leaks, which is normal for a truck with this many hours. Honest wear on an honest machine.
It all started when I got a complaint about my property so I bought this for $2,200 therefore I could clean up my yard before another fine (Only have one week left).
Thought this was pretty interesting to see before everything gets put together. This is the foundation for a truck scale going into a recycling yard. The concrete work is finished and the scale sections are staged and ready to be installed.
Most people only ever see the finished scale with trucks driving over it, so I figured some of you might find it interesting to see what one looks like during the installation process.
