Smaller rocks are no issue. You have to exercise caution around larger objects such as water meter covers. The box is vented with a 4x8' section of expanded metal. We normally run the machine around half throttle.
This machine has approximately 1000 hours. We change the oil every 200 hours. I sure the life depends on your maintenance. We've had no issues this far. Runs like new.
Love this. Had a ODB 650 on a crew I used to run - miss that thing!!

New Holland / Ford diesel. 85 hp

Sam I purchased 2 at municipal auction. If you check ebay or Craigslist list you may be fortunate enough to locate one.
It appears to be 10 year since you posted this video. Do you still recommend this machine?
Absolutely, they are great machines…we’ve had two of them! We still have this one and it runs great!
Are smaller rocks a problem for these units? Do you have any venting on the dump bed or is it solid plywood all the way around?
