    Question for Those That Have A Loegering VTS

    I went to Acme Bearing on Niagara and had some luck but the bearings are kind of odd balls and were pretty expensive. It can be done but when I got done with the rollers I had to fix it would have almost been better to buy complete rollers. Your time is worth something and I still have a older...

    Case DL450 ?

    Yes. That is the machine. I know its not a dozer but it looks like it could do smaller jobs where I need to do multiple things. If only my wallet could afford me.

    Case DL450 ?

    Did anyone happen to see it up close and what did you think of it? For me it could be a good solution to my multitasking. I am sure I probably cant afford it but it is fun to dream and it looks like it has potential.

    John Deere 318D 20 hour review

    Yes we still have ours. We have 500 hrs on it and it has been great. Have not touched it except for routine maintenance and washes. We don't do a ton of dirt work with it as we do stump grinding, post holes, and minor log recovery with it. We also have had the Loegering VTS track system on it...

    Changing VTS tracks from Bobcat to Case

    I was lucky as my above change over used the same track, but yes that can be another concern. The Loegering website has a pdf link to what fits what. It is located on the VTS page if I remember correctly.

    Changing VTS tracks from Bobcat to Case

    I changed mine from my old machine which was a Komatsu to a John Deere 318D but because I needed some parts for it, while ordering the guys at Summit in NJ emailed me the new picture with the settings for the JD. Mind you you will have to find out if the models you have will fit the case as I...

    Skid Suggestions

    I agree with StumpyWally. I had a hard time choosing between tires or tracks so I got both. What I am saying is my Deere 318D is great with a cab/heat for the winter and I sold my 3 point blower this year to get a blower for the 318D. All I can say is wow! I also do a lot of work on turf so I...

    loegering versatile track system

    What KSSS said is good advise in regards to that older machine with that HP. With that said I have the VTS system on a 2011 JD 318D and love the setup. One thing is I can switch to tires for the winter. I bought the setup used and went through it so that I would not have any problems for a...

    Glenmac Harley Rake

    This is more a thread about Paladin customer service and my rant. I bought a used M-6 harley rake which was new around 2003 from a dealer who took it on trade from the original owner. The dealer did not touch it other than to say it may need new o-rings on the drum bearings because the chaicase...

    John Deere 318D 20 hour review

    It is pin 24 on the right guide arm. It is pretty long as it goes through the frame, then the arm and then the outside support on the frame. It did quiet down after we had it out and cleaned out all the old grease but it is getting real noisy again. Our only initial thought is that the boom may...

    John Deere 318D 20 hour review

    So we finally sold our Komatsu SK820-5n skid, which by the way was a great machine with good specs, and bought a JD 318D with 205 hours on it. It was purchased new by a small town near us to snowblow sidewalks and the occasional summer pothole repair. The extra 10 or so HP over the Komatsu is...

    Skid Steer + CTL Pictures!

    I got them off fleabay for 2600 and then spent about 800 in a few rollers and parts for another roller. The tracks are about bald but for me that works on stump grinding jobs to keep turf damage low. So when I spend for new tracks I will have just over 5k in them but should be good for a while...

    Skid Steer + CTL Pictures!

    They are the Loegering VTS setup 54 link. I like them because they make the machine much more stable and I am able to grind stumps without leaving damage. The other reason we went to them is to be able to change back to tires for the winter. I worked much of the day yesterday and really left no...

    WildKat Brush Cutter Price

    My machine is a Komatsu SK820-5N with counterweights and for the summer I have a VTS track system, so I weigh in at just over 8k lbs with the tracks on. It also has "Super Flow" which is the higher flow for the size and comes in at 26 GPM with 3/4" couplers. I run my stumper on high flow. Yea...

    WildKat Brush Cutter Price

    Just thought I would run this up the flag pole. I went and looked at a 72" Wildkat brush cutter with front push bar. It is used but pretty square. Motor and gearbox look Ok with no leaks. Seems to run good with no horrific noises. Not as heavy as some I am sure but for the amount of billable...

    First skid loader job story

    I thought I would add to this thread because of all the good points that have come up. A little and short background on what we do. We do C&D debris removal and container rental and with that had an opportunity to do stump grinding because of trees being in the way of renovations or grown...
