    The End...or only The Begining?

    you missed what I said. I was talking about in the video. Never had the chance personally to run one. It may be alright after you get used to the settings EDIT: hahaha, don't I feel like an idiot. Missed the part that says "partial bucket filling" oh my

    The End...or only The Begining?

    wouldn't want that. Not sure if it was how he had it set up, but half the buckets wasn't even full

    Loader Comparisons

    I'd say the deere TC-62 is around the IT-28 size. We have 2 at work, and they work out fine for us

    JD 644J Blown Turbocharger

    that is a major complaint I have with my J series loader. Due to that, it wore out my wiper arm in no time. I have to cycle through the wiper modes to turn it off, and the 3rd setting sends the wiper in warp speed, and half the time it went right off the window. The 3rd setting is pointless...

    JD 644J Blown Turbocharger

    I run a 08 644J, and although I never experienced a blown turbo, I did have my share of problems that's for sure. It had to be a lemon -driveshaft snapped off (due to not having the pin put through the bolt. not really a problem, but an oversight at the factory. happened right after we got...

    volvo

    I love those new k series. I have a 08 644J, and I'm super jealous, lol. Thing I don't like about the new volvos is that they hardly look any different then the old ones we have. We have michigan loaders from back in the 80's and there's hardly any difference. Time for a much needed face...

    Tons per hour?

    lmao, never mind what I had wrote there, haha. Totally missed what you said. Rebar and jaw crushers don't mix at all. Hard to say what the tph would be, since you may go one day and stop a dozen times removing junk, but may get in a good batch and may only have to stop 2-3 times a day. I'd...

    loader transmission cut off

    I used to love the clutch cut off switch and used it all the time. However, over the last couple of years, I find myself not using it all, and when I'm in a machine and it's turned on, I can't stand it anymore and has to turn it off right away. Not sure why. Only reason I can think of is when...

    man......I could build a whole quarry in the house. That is crazy! I like the crusher trailers and that, but man, 3-400 bucks for one trailer? Expensive..

    Komatsu Stuck?

    I remember seeing pics a little while back about a brand new Komatsu excavator being unloaded from a barge and tipping in the mud. Not sure which model it was, but it was the big one's such as a pc2000-8, pc3000, etc. Anyone know where I can find these pics? Not sure if it was on this site or...

    Cat 345C L

    that could easily bite them in the arse if there was ever an accident and it got investigated

    Buy or Run Away Fast?

    too me, it sounds like whoever had the machine before never took care of it very well. What's the year? Hours? Like Mike said, you could spend the money on the machine, spend a further 15-20K in repairs, and God know's what else you could run into that could cost thousands of dollars. Seems...

    980 H

    I agree. Although I havn't tried a 980 or wa500, I did however use a 844J. Within those few minutes I was on it, I fell in love. I was a beautiful machine in every way shape and form. Not to mention I fell that John Deere has the best color schemes, and best looking machines out there. I...

    Trojan 3500Z information

    never heard of that loader before, but it must be a fair size due to it's 2 rams and quite a few steps on the ladder

    Am I the only one....

    to bad you didn't have a bucket on.....you could have probably winced your own way back. Bit harder to do with forks, haha. All your companies gear may be red, but they should have left the car stock colors......Just don't look right. My city has a fleet of cat loaders with all decals removed...
