    Locked up Deere 1050c

    Engine went out of Deere 1050C dozer. Manual park brake release under cab fails to work. Hand pump builds pressure but won't let dozer roll. We have procedure print off from deere service and have followed every step with no luck. Anyone have experience with this? Any other way to manually...

    new to us JD 1050c

    Just picked up a used 7000hr 1050c. Any advice on common problems and things to watch out for would be appreciated. This machine had engine rebuilt 1500hrs ago, runs really well, and seems like it was very well taken care of. Thanks

    Experience with BRON tile plows?

    in our neighbourhood snow melt is a huge factor in the need for farm drainage, dries the field earlier to create a longer growing season for the farmer. these machines do not use excavator final drives, they use much larger Rexroth finals.

    In our area its rare that we work in a field larger than 100 acres, my best day ever is 58000' in one day. That's 14.5 rolls of pipe, an average day around here 25000'.... would love to get out in some large fields in your area, open'r up!

    not sure how long Tait has been building plows for... I think its safe to say they haven't built a brand new one for 10 years?? just a guess though.

    I'm pretty sure you could say Tait takes a minimalist approach to building plows. They start out with old cat 235 excavator undercarriage. Change the gearing, drives, and motors. I think they find any mechanical engine over 400hp have it rebuild and install. basically build everything else in...

    I think that blue machine is a Tait plow. The Tait family from Grand Valley Ontario are drainage contractors that build plow's. you might find 20 or so running around North America. Neat that there are 3 plow manufactures in Ontario within 100km of each other.

    Question on low boy tractor spec

    keep in mind if your going to a tractor with a lift. Is the neck on your trailer long enough to get the weight far enough forward to justify having? Our float tractor is 282" wb it has 20k front 23k lift 52k rears. we run with 5th wheel 6" forward of front drive axle. I see a lot of triaxle...

    not sure about wolf, but Bron totally builds there undercarriage frames from scratch. the front idlers, top and bottom rollers are equivalent to a d7. drive sprockets are specifically built for Bron.

    That machine looks as tho the grouser extensions are wore off. The reason for the street pad acts as a mud relief, In hopes that the track may clear its self. You'll find a lot of different pad configurations in the drainage industry. I picked my new 550 in Sept with the same street / extended...
