    Looking at dump trucks again, single axle vs tandem

    Counting miles on a dump truck I think only has a limited amount of value. If you need the truck to get the jobs done to make money, even under 10K a year, its a pretty important piece of gear. A single axle is not really any more manuverable than a tandem. I would get that single axle...

    Looking at dump trucks again, single axle vs tandem

    Years ago I had a 2554 IH 33K L-10 with a 9 speed. Great truck, problem is it simply wasn't big enough. I had a 14' low pro bed on it. Sweet bed. You can always haul less with a tandem, but you can only haull so much with a single axle. Yet my costs to run it were not really any cheaper...

    2017 Case SR210 dumped all hydraulic fluid, how do I raise the cab?

    No, fill and go. That relief valve should have allowed you to pull it and raise the loader arms, I would maybe look into that while your fixing things.

    compact loader vs skid steer

    I have run the Taki 80 wheel loader, Case 321, WN 50, and numerous others of WN wheel loaders. I really like running all of them. Visibility is much better, more comfortable to run, and much easier on fuel than an equal size SSL or CTL. I have never bought one for the reason of their limited...

    Pre DEF svl90 or DEF svl95

    I am not sure how the DPF worked on those Taki machines, as a general rule, you need to run them harder to keep the exhaust temps higher which helps minimize soot build up. When idling hold the throttle up a little higher is also suggested. I think Taki switched to kubota engines on that series...

    Drainage Question - Tile Vs. Ditch / Swale

    To Skyking1's point, you can also call a septic tank pumper, or some plumbers, they typically have a cable camera that has a locator on it. Here they will come out for a couple hundred dollars, and you could see the problem and locate where the problem is. If your pricing is similar to mine...

    Pre DEF svl90 or DEF svl95

    DEF or no DEF is a big deal if your talking Kubota. I would avoid the DEF machine, especially if you only putting on a 100 or so hours.

    2017 Case SR210 dumped all hydraulic fluid, how do I raise the cab?

    At the end of the day, having a hyd coupler is still worth it. Really just adding more fluid, should allow you to unhook the attachment, and likely get it on a trailer so you can pull it to a shop, makes a mess but better than working it on sit typically.

    2017 Case SR210 dumped all hydraulic fluid, how do I raise the cab?

    The quick coupler doesn't work like that on these machines. Each coupler has a small hyd cylinder that actuates the pin. It doesn't have the big cylinder like BC does.

    case tv 380

    It sounds to me like a grounding problem. When you sit in the sit does the console light up when it wont start?

    2017 Case SR210 dumped all hydraulic fluid, how do I raise the cab?

    A couple options, put enough 10-30 in the hyd system to run the bucket couplers and unhook attachment and shut it back off. The other option is raise the loader arms as it is with another loader. You do that by pulling the button on the right side by your thigh. Once the loader arm is raised...

    Drainage Question - Tile Vs. Ditch / Swale

    I would redo the drain tile, sized larger for the correct anticipated flow. As short of a run as it is you could run one near your existing tile and run another section at the 995 grade. I think running a swale in that situation just looks bad, and as stated you will have to maintain it. I...

    Looking to upsize my excavator, How important is the pivot swing of the arm while choosing the machine..?

    Didn't even know they made something like that. Still not sure why they do. I would get a swing boom on a mini ex. Being able to articulate the boom from the cab is, in my view, very important on a mini ex. I wouldn't consider that machine.

    Caterpillar 317

    I demoed a new CASE 170 E series in Oct. I ran a Link Belt 365 X4S in January on a demo job. Machines are much the same except engines are different. The hydraulic system is outstanding. You can completely program how fast you want arm, boom speeds, very fast hydraulics, and I mean fast. If...

    Running a low flow brush cutter on a high flow machine

    The 1845C was designed way before the attachment craze hit. Flow and PSI were not a big concern, as evident by the 56 hp. The XT series was designed as an attachment carrier offering an optional 5K psi high flow system on the 90-95XT.

    259D DEF/ Particulate Filter

    Not sure why Kubota needs to have the DPF filter at all, other OEM's get by without needing that. Some run SCR over 75 hp and DOC without the need for DPF. Others run DOC only without a DPF under 75 hp. Kubota built a nearly bulletproof reputation prior to Tier 4 I and F. I am not seeing...

    210 Excavator on Tri-Axle Tag Trailer

    Dropping the bucket in the box instead of on the machine isn't going to fly. My understanding is that has to fly separately. I am maxed out with a triple axle trailer and a 4 axle Mack pulling a 160. I can't believe you would even be close with another 10-12K pounds. You could load it up and...

    First 10 hours in a CASE DL550 Minotour

    Looks like the perfect place for the single grousers. I really like the black color.
