Forget DEF and sensors for a minute, look at this Massey-Harris No. 1 crossing the block.
After wrenching on complex modern machinery all week, seeing something like this pop up in the Wembley auction lineup is incredibly refreshing. Gas engine, steel wheels and absolutely zero computers to troubleshoot. Just raw, unbreakable mechanical engineering from the ground up. It is wild to think about how much the industry has evolved since this was the standard. Who else loves seeing these running pieces of history mixed in with all the late model yellow iron?
Only 3 scoops to fill that haul truck, and that's efficiency!

Never heard of the SDLOOL SL90B until today!
Honestly the price compared to bigger, and name brands caught my attention pretty fast.
That 2016 Mack GU813 twin steer dump truck looks like an absolute workhorse.
505hp Mack diesel, Allison auto, heated box, and over 277k miles still ready to grind. Always had a soft spot for these heavy duty Mack setups.

Anyone here run a GU813 before? Curious how they hold up long term in heavy hauling.
Not gonna lie, the more I look at the CFG MX15RX, the more curious I get about these little machines.
At first, I didn't think much of it, but after seeing a few in action, the machine actually looks pretty capable for trenching, landscaping, cleanup, and tight-access property work.
What really caught my attention is the size. It looks like one of those machines that can get into spots where larger excavators would struggle, which honestly seems super useful for smaller jobs and residential work.
Now I'm wondering, how do these actually perform in real-world use?
