    D9H seat

    Grammar builds seats for some d9s but I didn't find a d9h on their list. You could always contact them and see if they had one that would work it could be modified to work

    544K road speed too slow!

    Is Max speed something that can be set for each operator? I have never run a deer wheel loader of that age but in know on my bosses 848l skidder I once entered the wrong start code and got some previous operators settings. Was kinda annoying as he preferred his hydraulic control pattern backwards

    Crazy truck prices

    I can definitely see your point Truck shop on trucks that spend 50 weeks a year on the road. There are situations tho where people need a truck only part of the year or maybe only a couple days a month and in those situations I don't think buying new is such a good idea.

    Overload of the Day

    I've got my doubts it's for a sprayer. My sprayer only narrows down to about 11 feet and that trailer doesn't look that wide. Most sprayer trailers have ramps outside the wheels for the sprayer to ride on

    Overload of the Day

    As a general rule I think the American road and traffic system is much superior to Canadian or for sure Manitoba. But I ddo really appreciate that at pretty much all major traffic lights in Manitoba there are warning lights a couple hundred yards ahead of the lights that flash if the light will...

    Just heard about a diesel shortage?

    To the best of my knowledge dumping fuel only happens when a jet has to make an emergency landing and they still have to much fuel on board to land safely

    1980's vintage excavator

    How do those older excavators compare in performance to say something built in the early 2000s. I was looking at specs for a cat 225 and the 111 gpm at 1000 psi on the 225 vs 130 gpm at 4000 psi on a 01 Volvo ec290blc we were looking at and I didn't think I'd be happy with the 225.

    L70C third valve

    Good day everyone. We just picked up a Volvo l70c wheel loader the other day. The price was right except that it only has 2 hydraulic functions and we really need 3. I talked to my dealer today and he says the third valve kit is nla. Now I'm wondering is there someplace to get one aftermarket or...
