Abstract: Construction equipment is provided that can include: a transport assembly operably supporting a platform, the platform having a leading edge opposing a rearward edge, the leading edge associated with a first direction of the transport assembly, and the rearward edge associated with a second direction of the transportation assembly; an operator cab above the platform and aligned closer to the leading edge than the rearward edge; an engine above the platform and aligned closer to the rearward edge than the leading edge; and a boom pivotably attached above the platform closer to the rearward edge than the leading edge, the boom being movable between a first position fully extended and a second position fully raised. Utility line pole placement and/or removal construction methods are provided that can include extending an extension assembly having a banana boom from a transport assembly to couple with a utility line pole.

Abstract: Skid-steer loader attachment assemblies configured to perform earth augering are provided. The attachment assemblies can include a pair of outriggers. Methods for performing earth augering using a skid-steer are also provided. The methods can include extending dual outriggers from a boom assembly of a skid-steer to engage substrate; and extending an earth auger into the substrate from an auger assembly that is operably engaged between the dual outriggers. Skid-steer loader and attachment assemblies configured to perform earth augering are also provided. Boring assembly coupling assemblies are also provided.
