    Software For Tracking Customer Equipment Maintenance?

    Thanks for the response. I'll admit that I haven't had a lot of input yet, so I do really appreciate yours. I just haven't heard anyone else ask for something similar. You have to consider this from my perspective too. I am trying to build something that will have mass market appeal, because...

    Software For Tracking Customer Equipment Maintenance?

    Thanks for the input. I haven't had any other requests to make service intervals determined by previous run intervals, so at this point, I'm not sure it would make sense for me to try to make that possible. As for putting in current run times, you could do that. Just set the asset up as...

    Software For Tracking Customer Equipment Maintenance?

    You mentioned using last year's run time to determine the maintenance schedule for the current year. Does the customer provide that? What format is last year's run time provided to you in? Is the previous year's data just estimates or actual values? One reason I'm asking is, if the customer or...

    Software For Tracking Customer Equipment Maintenance?

    Thanks for the added information. I see your concern. You can set the next service date, but currently it requires an extra step. I didn't really expect that type of scenario - a changing time based interval. This feedback is great. Currently, after adding a service log entry, you could go to...

    Software For Tracking Customer Equipment Maintenance?

    Birken, thanks for taking a look and providing feedback. I am certainly open to making some changes. The idea behind not being able to specify a log date (and it using the current date) is not providing employees a potential way to fabricate logs after the fact, say if you had several users...

    Software For Tracking Customer Equipment Maintenance?

    I've been working on a web app for this: logaid.com. My family has a construction business and I just wasn't very satisfied with the other options out there. A spreadsheet just doesn't provide all the capability, but most other software solutions seem too complex and expensive. With Logaid...

    John Deere 490D problem

    I tried unplugging the connector and got the same result for the machines movement. I checked fuses. Some looked to have some corrosion, so I put new ones there. One of these was the EC Motor fuse. I noticed it did a slight spark when I attached the new one (the machine and key was off). Does EC...

    John Deere 490D problem

    Ok, I'll look for this. Wouldn't functions that are on the other hydraulic pump function at full speed and not just slowly if this problem had to do with just one pump? Unless the pump you are referring to controls the pilot controls...

    Ok. Sorry for my ignorance, but what area would the connectors of the 2 pump displacement solenoid be? In the area of the hydraulic pumps or the main control valve. Thanks for the tip and help.

    John Deere 490D problem

    Thanks for the reply I don't think anything was left in the line, but figured it would be easy to check that filter so I pulled it. I checked the return filter and found nothing there. I even took out the filter and tried it, but the machine worked the same. As I mentioned earlier, when...
