    back hoe on skid steer

    I made a bracket on the back door grille and put 6 tractor weights on it. It seems to have helped quite a bit. I have nt really set it down hill yet, but I think it is going to be ok

    Sales tax

    Taxes are necessary, but too much tax is a bad thing. Hold the people who keep raising your taxes instead of managing what they have accountable. If enough people are voted out, the elected officials will start managing, instead of taxing

    Operating my first skid steer in 1988...

    I love the lesson. Can you imagine the patience this man has, to take the time to teach the child. And the confidence he has in the childs ability. This kid will grow up and will not be afraid to operate anything.

    operating question.

    Being new to the skidsteer backhoe business. I know very little. I thought I read somewhere ; dont lift your front wheels off the groung when putting your stabilizer bars down. Is this correct or should you lift the front tires off the ground. Thanks for your help

    Gehl 4615 Perkins diesel

    I figured it out. I bought 15 gallon, and put in about 8 gallon, so I figure it has about 12 gallon capacity. Thanks for your response. I have one more question. In front of the gas pedal on the floor there is a knob you can turn by hand. Do you know what this knob regulates/

    skid steer controls??

    I love Gehl T bar controls. The only time I think I would rather have the joysticks is when I am driving it down the road very far.

    Backhoe attachment

    25C ; I just found an ad on ebay for choice of grouser or logering tracks, your choice. They say logering has better flotation. Which would you choose?

    Backhoe attachment

    I intend to add the tracks at a later date, but I have to let my toy fund build up a little first. When you put the tracks on, do the tires still wear down? The reason I ask, is; My tires will probably be the next thing I have to do to the machine. Everything else is in top shape.

    Backhoe attachment

    Yes I have dug with it a little, and I moved it by reaching back and moving my t bar controls. I love it. My gehl handles it pretty well also, but when I put on a downhill area, it does seem a minute amount lighter in the rear than I like, so I am going to make a bracket for a set of add on...
