    Tak tk150 track issue

    Yup. That's exactly it. Really disappointed because the tracks look brand new. Any recommendations on replacement tracks? Or just get the original ones?

    Tak tk150 track issue

    Was walking across my site and found one of the metal bars that are embedded in the tracks laying on the ground. Walked over to the machine and noticed 2 had fallen out. The tracks only have 450 hours on them but they are 4-5 years old (machine sits a lot as it's used mostly to work on my...

    Swapping auto tranny for 8LL

    I bought a peterbilt 335 a few months ago. It has an Allison auto in it with a C7 cat. It goes good but I don't like the down shifting. I prefer the manuelly downshift myself. All my other trucks have 8LL trannys. I haven't looked into adjusting the Allison at all yet but was wondering if...

    what is the best tracked skid steer?

    do get a straight answer, you need to be super specific on what you plan on using the machine for. I can give a some good input on cat and tak. i have (2) 287B (2) 287C (3) 289C (2) TL150 (1) TL130 If you're worried about snow removal, they'll all do the job. The old style 287 tracks...

    takeuchi with snowpusher

    Just wondering if anyone has used a snow pusher on a Tl150. i never used my tak for snow but this year I signed up to do a shopping center. anyway, the landscaper with the contract wants me to buy a pusher. I don't think the machine is good for snow with just a bucket, let alone a larger one.

    Takeuchi TL150 Supertrak

    I love my TL150. I dig foundations with it all the time when I can get a bigger machine on site soon enough. we usually start out going around in circles with the 287 and tl150. But once we hit sand I continue pushing material out adn the cat piles it up outside of the hole. There is no...

    Comments on Takeuchi and ASV/Terex Track loaders

    I run both tak and cat machines. I have a few tl150s, a few 287Cs and a few 289C models. 287 least damage to ground when operating. least amount of pushing power. 289 does a decent amount of damage to ground but with the suspension its not as bad as you'd think. pretty good pushing and...

    Takeuchi tl150 value $?

    I charge $100 an hr. 3 hr minimum. I'll do $700 for a 8 hr day so the clients feel like they're getting a break. I can get the work, just can't free up the time trying to do it on the side. very frustrating!!!

    Takeuchi tl150 value $?

    I guess anything above $40,000. If I can get that I would rather keep it. Even if I only make a $1000 a month with it, I'd rather do that than $30,000 hit in 2 years. sorry to hear about your health situation. Good luck on your recovery

    Takeuchi tl150 value $?

    I'm gonna say you got a great deal. If mine is only worth $27,000 I would just keep it. Title in hand so I have no worries. Just don't have time you use it with my real job being so busy. I hope its worth more
