    Yanmar Vio55-6 with Flail Mower - Stick Wont Move Out

    Now I totally agree with you guys that if I'm asking the machine to run something way too big for itself - then I have zero room to complain! lol Like the skid steer I have flows 17gpm and runs a mower that requires 20gpm... Its performance definitely isnt optimal, but that's what I signed up...

    Yanmar Vio55-6 with Flail Mower - Stick Wont Move Out

    They say 15-40 gpm because they look up the specs and size the motor for your machine. They looked up the specs on the first one and sized the motor for 21gpm, I then told them the issues and they asked me to go actually have it flow tested, that's when I found the machine actually flowed 32gpm...

    Yanmar Vio55-6 with Flail Mower - Stick Wont Move Out

    Had the machine tested - it flows 32 gallons and is 1,800 psi. EX40 = 40" mower, not 40 gallons of flow required. 1st hydraulic motor was sized for approx 22 gallons, the one I have now is for 29 gallons. Not really a difference in performance between the two as far as the issue I'm having is...

    Yanmar Vio55-6 with Flail Mower - Stick Wont Move Out

    Hey everyone, I've got a Yanmar Vio55-6 excavator with about 550hrs on it and a US Mower EX40 Flail Mower that I'm having some issues with. I've used US Mower products a lot and have had great luck with them but I'm stumped on this one. I connected everything up to the excavator and it worked...

    Case 130 dead help!

    Would that cause it to go dead like that? All that would do is call for needing to be primed? Right? I mean I have no dash lights even, like NOTHIN? I know I know. I was working my way back to get fuel. Wanted to finish what I was doing. Oops :/

    Case 130 dead help!

    So i rented a case cx130 excavator for the week and it was running fine and had about 1/8 tank of fuel left so i was pulling it out to bring the truck over to fuel it up. I went over a small log and when the front of the tracks came down (with a slight jar, nothing bad by any means) the window...
