    Ground conditions

    I live and work in North Dakota, We cover Central part of the state. I was curious what ground conditions, and utility conditions are in other parts of the country. In this area we have typically clay soils, some sandy areas. The western part of the state can have some shale areas. Our...

    Bobcat T770 track motor problem?

    I may be wrong but I was told that the drive motors from bobcat and from aftermarket sources are basically the same, as the parts are proprietary to bobcat so the only difference is who puts them in. The aftermarket cost seems to be about half of factory rebuilds. The warranties are 6-12 months...

    Bobcat T770 track motor problem?

    The t770 doesn't have the case drain filter, it now runs through the fan filter. I pulled that and cut it open and it looked good. I have to check the system pressure to rule out other hydraulic problems and the sending unit and know for sure but, I'm about 99% sure it's bypassing through the...

    Airline routing

    Hey guys I have a 1996 international 9400 factory dump truck. I am buying a trailer with air brakes and was wondering if anyone knows if there are existing lines for a trailer hook up and where they may be? It has the trailer brake release valve in the cab and the brake handle on the steering...

    Bobcat roller suspension?

    Thanks for the replies guys, I haven't heard of to many problems with broken leaf springs from the dealer. I would guess most of the problems are attributed to inexperienced or employees who just don't take care of the equipment. Curbside, that diving is the thing I heard about and wasn't...

    Bobcat roller suspension?

    Hey guys, Does anybody have any opinions on the bobcat roller suspension, good, bad? I get it rides smoother, but is there a tradeoff to that, does it make it spongy when your cutting with the bucket? Do attachements work better or worse? Thank you, Daren

    Dozer attachement opinions

    Thanks KSSS, I figured trying to cut with them may end up with the hopping you talked about. I think mostly I would use it for leveling and spreading loose dirt. I am also considering a grader attachement instead. Do you have any experience with the bobcat grader or another brand. The few...

    Dozer attachement opinions

    Hi guys, Do any of you have a dozer attachement for your skidsteer? I'm looking at getting one to put on a t820 I'm looking at. I was wondering if there are better built ones then the bobcat brand. I haven't seen one up close but was wondering if others have tried different brands that were...

    Dozer purchase advice

    Thanks Buckfever, how is the visibility in the high tracks? I do a fair amount of residential work. Actual machine size how does a d5 high track compare to the 650?

    Dozer purchase advice

    Hi guys, I'm looking at buying a dozer in the 90 to 100 hp range. I have Cat, Deere, Case, and Komatsu dealers here. The service from all of them is pretty good so that's not a deciding point. I guess what I'm wondering is what are your recommendations. I've rented a 650h lgp on a few occasions...
