How do these machines seem to be? The expression "the right tool for the right job",comes to mind when I have seen them-maybe or maybe not.How do the undercarriage/final drive area's hold up?

Been sitting in garage for last two months, and on start up I found that when I take it off saftey the engine loads down. It's working against the hydraulic pump. Skid will move and steer normally off both joy sticks, and will operate loader bucket off the right joy stick, but will only operate the loader up on the left stick. To get the bucket down i have to shut the engine down, raise the bar, and turn the key back on. Stuck valve? Can't see even where to find it...
Hydraulics heat up pretty quick. :Banghead ]]> Skid Steers 90xtskid http://www.heavyequipmentforums.com/showthread.php?t=19793 New Grove RT540E, RT700E, TMS9000E Pics http://www.heavyequipmentforums.com/showthread.php?t=19792&goto=newpost Fri, 03 Sep 2010 11:38:26 GMT Hi everyone,

Here are some shots of some new Groves I caught a local dealer.
This is also the first time I've seen a boom dolly in use here in PA.

Yesterday we set a 7” thick, 12’ x 4’ slab of granite that weighed about 5000lbs. with the machine no problem. Which, for a mini I think is quite amazing, our A300 couldn’t even pick it up. The enclosed cab is great, it’s the first machine we have bought with a cab. I do have to say it is not a roomy as the Yanmarr we demoed but it is extremely comfortable. It’s been 97 degrees here for the past 2 days so the A/C is nice!:D We also ordered a 52” grading bucket and Bobcats “Hydro Tilt” wrist attachment for it but they haven’t arrived yet. Here are a few pictures and a YouTube walk around video I did. I also have a few videos of it in action and I will try to upload them in the next few days. If you want to see pictures of anything specific let me know and I’ll do my best to get them for you. Enjoy!

But if you open the swing valve all the way up, it frees the engine. I had the swing cylinders rebuilt and all of the valves o-ringed and checked out. The guy said he couldn't see a problem in the valve. Luckily all this needed to be done anyway because it acts exactly the same as it did before I "fixed" it.

I have a question about the web site Ritchie Specs. I like checking this site for weights of machines that I move with our lowboy. When they say "operating weight", what is your definition of this term?

AJ ]]> General Industry Questions AJsOffroad http://www.heavyequipmentforums.com/showthread.php?t=19783 What is a Vet http://www.heavyequipmentforums.com/showthread.php?t=19782&goto=newpost Fri, 03 Sep 2010 00:06:03 GMT What is a Vet?


Some veterans bear visible signs of their service: a missing limb, a jagged scar, a certain look in the eye.

Others may carry the evidence inside them: a pin holding a bone together, a piece of shrapnel in the leg - or perhaps another sort of inner steel: the soul's ally forged in the refinery of adversity.

Except in parades, however, the men and women who have kept America safe wear no badge or emblem. You can't tell a vet just by looking.

What is a vet?

He is the cop on the beat who spent six months in Saudi Arabia sweating two gallons a day making sure the armored personnel carriers didn't run out of fuel.

He is the barroom loudmouth, dumber than five wooden planks, whose overgrown frat-boy behavior is outweighed a hundred times in the cosmic scales by four hours of exquisite bravery in the taking of Baghdad.

She - or he - is the nurse who fought against futility and went to sleep sobbing every night for two solid years in Da Nang.

He is the POW who went away one person and came back another -or didn't come back AT ALL.

He is the Quantico drill instructor who has never seen combat -but has saved countless lives by turning slouchy, no-account rednecks and gang members into Marines, and teaching them to watch each other's backs.

He is the parade - riding Legionnaire who pins on his ribbons and medals with a prosthetic hand.

He is the career quartermaster who watches the ribbons and medals pass him by.

He is the three anonymous heroes in The Tomb Of The Unknowns, whose presence at the Arlington National Cemetery must forever preserve the memory of all the anonymous heroes whose valor dies unrecognized with them on the battlefield or in the ocean's sunless deep.

He is the old guy bagging groceries at the supermarket - palsied now and aggravatingly slow - who helped liberate a Nazi death camp and who wishes all day long that his wife were still alive to hold him when the nightmares come.

He is an ordinary and yet an extraordinary human being - a person who offered some of his life's most vital years in the service of his country, and who sacrificed his ambitions so others would not have to sacrifice theirs.

He is a soldier and a savior and a sword against the darkness, and he is nothing more than the finest, greatest testimony on behalf of the finest, greatest nation ever known.

So remember, each time you see someone who has served our country, just lean over and say, "Thank you." That's all most people need, and in most cases it will mean more than any medals they could have been awarded or were awarded.

Two little words that mean a lot: THANK YOU! ]]> TGIF Tiny http://www.heavyequipmentforums.com/showthread.php?t=19782 Three Mechanics http://www.heavyequipmentforums.com/showthread.php?t=19781&goto=newpost Thu, 02 Sep 2010 23:55:32 GMT Three mechanics were in the bathroom standing at the urinals.

The first mechanic finishes and walks over to the sink to wash his hands. He then proceeds to dry his hands very carefully. He uses paper towel after paper towel and ensures that every single spot of water on his hands is dried. Turning to the other two, he says, "At Ford, we are trained to be extremely thorough."

The second mechanic finishes his task at the urinal and he proceeds to wash his hands. He uses a single paper towel and makes sure that he dries his hands using every available portion of the paper towel. He turns and says, "At Chevrolet, not only are we trained to be extremely thorough but we are also trained to be extremely efficient."

The third mechanic finished and walks straight for the door, shouting over his shoulder: "At ATCO Equipment, we don't pee on our hands."

I used this machine for a couple of years in my part-time light excavating and landscape construction business, but I no longer have the time to devote to the business, so my loss is your gain.

Details:

- 2006
- 116 hrs.
- 46 hp Kubota diesel engine
- 1750 lb. rated operating capacity
- standard hand and foot controls
- quick-connect standard-flow auxiliary hydraulics
- front and rear lights
- suspension seat
- 68" low-profile bucket with 7 bolt-on teeth

Also included in the price are:

- 42" Bobcat adjustable pallet forks
- set of Logering TrailBlazer D-Series steel over-the-tire tracks

The tracks were purchased new with the machine, and have less than 50 hours on them.

This is a single-owner machine in very good condition. No dents and only some small scratches in the paint. No one has ever been in the operator's seat but me, so I can say with certainty that this machine has not been abused. I have the original owner's manual for both the machine and the tracks, as well as some Bobcat orange touch-up paint, spare fuel filter, and the tensioning tool for the tracks that will be included.

The machine is located in Western PA, about 45 minutes northwest of Pittsburgh. I would like to sell this as a package and will not separate.

Asking $18000.
