Bobcat has a new compact track loader: the “T550”

Bobcat T550 RentalBobcat says the machines fall under its medium frame-size — the company’s most popular loader size class. Each machine packs a Tier 4 interim-compliant engine.

The new 500 models are part of the M-Series and will replace Bobcat’s K-Series models.

The T550 is a radius lift machine, and it features Bobcat’s cab forward design which the company says improves visibility by moving operators closer to the attachment.

Bobcat stressed improvements to the cab and operator comfort in the 500 models. The cab door on the 500 models provides a boost to visibility and Bobcat calls the door “the largest cab door opening” available. This opening has increased more than 40 percent over the K-Series machines. Side and rear windows were enlarged as well and Bobcat says it redesigned and increased the total size of the pressurized cab by 10 percent. Cab height was increased too, making getting in and out of the machines easier and giving you more headroom while operating the machine.

Bobcat is says the performance of the T550 is capable of “outperforming higher-horsepower machines.” Bobcat has increased the hydraulic performance of the 500 models over the K-Series machines, engineering them for higher standard flow and pressure in order to give attachments more power. Bobcat says a hydraulic bucket positioning option is available to reduce spillage by keeping the loader bucket level as it is raised.

Sewer Snakes

Sewer snakes and Sewer Jetters

Are you having plumbing issues.  We have the solutions.  A Sewer Snake is what you probably need.  Sewer or Plummer snakes work great for tree roots and even bigger obstacles.

A plumber’s snake is a slender, bendable type of auger used to dislodge clogs in plumbing. The plumber’s snake is often reserved for difficult clogs that cannot be loosened with a plunger.

Plumber’s snakes have a coiled metal wire. The user turns a crank to rotate the helix as it moves through the pipe. If the clog is caused by a  shred able obstacle, such as tree roots, the auger might break it up enough to enable flow. A smaller obstruction might be snagged or corkscrewed by the auger, enabling the user to pull it away. As the auger turns it also brushes against the interior walls of the pipe, scraping off minerals and other deposits.

We carry the General brand of sewer snakes in 50 foot and the 100 foot varities. 

Opening clogged drains calls for tough equipment. That’s why General manufactures sewer and drain cleaning equipment with the most durable components, from our Flexicore® wire rope center cables to our reinforced steel frames and drums. Whether you need to clear clogged sinks, tubs and laundry drains, or cut through tough root stoppages, General has a drain cleaning machine for you.

Propane and Kerosene

Propane

We can fill any legal propane tank that you can bring us.

  • Great pricing
  • Rv’s with fixed tanks charged by the gallon
  • All other cylinders are by the pound
  • New valves for propane tanks
  • Tank Requalifications
  • Used tanks for sale or rent
  • Safe and qualified staff
  • Companies that do propane exchange typically do not fill them all the way up so you end up overpaying and your tank runs out sooner

Kerosene

Kerosene is not as widely available as it once was in the US, but we have Kerosene and propane here at A and J Time Rentals.  We sell Kerosene in bulk so bring in your container and we will fill it.

The Amish still use kerosene for their lighting at night.  In addition to lighting, kerosene is used for heating and cooking, fire-breathing, and cleaning gunk from motorcycle and bicycle chains!

  • There are some advantages to storing kerosene over other fuels. For one thing, kerosene does not have explosive vapors, so it is much safer to store than the other fuels.  Kerosene is also inexpensive.  Unlike gasoline, it does not need to be treated with a fuel stabilizer.
  • Some of the drawbacks: of kerosene: when kerosene burns it is smoky and has a strong odor.  Kerosene requires priming, and you’ll need to buy wicks.  If you store kerosene for long periods of time water will accumulate in the fuel and you’ll need to filter it out.
  • If you decide to store kerosene, you need to know that it must be stored in blue containers, so that it not mistaken for gasoline.  You can get 5 gallon containers at places like hardware stores.  Make sure to keep it in a tightly-sealed container, out of sunlight, and keep it away from big temperature swings.
