    T 190 help

    You probably have the cylinders open on the tilt or the arms raised slightly this will lower the level in the sight glass as some of the oil is used up in the cylinders. As soon as the tilt is curled back up or the arms are lowered the level will return in the sight glass.

    Bobcat roller suspension?

    I think it is around 900.00 for the option. It takes a few minutes to get used to it the first time you run it. I found that when leveling sand or gravel as the bucket loaded up it would seem to dive a bit but after several minutes you get used to it and naturally make the adjustment. I...

    Know of a good (LOUD) wireless phone bluetooth?

    I've used a Blue Eagle II headset. It also has the noise reduction etc and works real will. Only complaint is if you use it near a portable radio or other electronic devise it knocks it off line. Some kind of interferance issue. But clear as a bell otherwise.

    M Series Bobcats

    The M770 is a very nice machine but there is a couple of things that drive me nuts with the way the engineers designed the front end. The first thing is the tilt cylinders on the M770. They have run the hydraulic steel pipes along the side of the tilt cylinders towards the front allowing...

    The 8611 is a model from 2004. That plow was purchased in 2005 and only used a handful of times until this winter. I will try and take a picture or two.

    Blizzard SS 8611pp Completed my Snow removal attachment Fleet !

    We fish plated the side of the a frame right behind the pin. If you are looking from the top down the last bolt on the cover where the A frame has a slight bend is where it ripps in half. The metal on the A-frame is just two light of a guage. Also on the 8611 you may want to make sure the...

    Blizzard SS 8611pp Completed my Snow removal attachment Fleet !

    I have a SS8610 and a SS8611. I would recommend you fish plate the A frame just behind the pin. Both of my plows run on S330 Bobcats and both ripped in half at that point.

    Ways to thaw frozen material

    In the Saskatoon area the frost could easily be 4 feet deep. This has been a mild year in the western provinces and often goes deeper especially if travelled on.

    Pretty tough to top that. Sounds like you have lived a pretty colorful excavating career.

    Sunrise over the Windfarm

    what to do with big trees on dam

    Grubbing the stumps may lose the intergrity of the dam. Stump grinder would take the stump below grade and integrity of dam would not be compromised.

    What have you found while digging?

    About 10 years ago we were augering post holes off a back lane and out popped a loaded .38 cal revolver. Pretty badly rusted had been down there for years. I guess someone dropped it or dumped it when the lanes were getting rebuilt. My guess anyway.

    anyone do portable toilets?

    I have a friend that owns his own business in the portable toilet business and honey pumping business and I would say there is not a lot of money. It's quite competive in this area so they make a living but not big money.
