    John Deere 350C Wide Track

    If you go to jdcrawlers.com and search Jason Benesch JBW contracting he has a pretty good stock of 350 wide pad parts. Not geographically handy, he is in Edmonton Alberta Canada

    What is the difference in capabilities between the 3, 4, and 5 ton mini excavators?

    I have a 3.5 ton Yanmar Vio35-3 excavator that I use on 4 pieces of rural property ranging from 3 to 155 acres and separated by 400 miles so transport is an important consideration for me. I have used it to trench in about 2500 feet of waterline and in conjunction with a JD450 and a 6X14 foot...

    A couple of videos of the old wheel dozer

    Was a Michigan 280 rubber tire dozer in Dease Lake for many years. Local operator approached a mining exploration project that was liquidating some equipment about purchasing an engine for one of his trucks. Engine was already sold but same powerplant was used in the dozer. Mining outfit said...

    Could the O rings be seals for the injectors?

    Maybe a little more NWBC (Telegraph Creek/Dease Lake) than most but here I am with my Yanmar Vio 35-3

    Mini excavator brush grinder

    Did you get the optional mulching teeth mounted on the bottom of the blade carrier? What size material are you mostly cutting?

    Case 350 oil level too high after sitting

    Seems like human nature sometimes to start big and difficult then work back to small and easy

    Case 350 oil level too high after sitting

    Hope the injection pump is your problem. Possible for a mechanical lift pump to leak fuel into the crank case as well if your machine is so equipped.

    Higher capacity bucket for Kubota quick connect.

    8.5 cubic foot for a 35 size machine sounds really big. Cleanup bucket on my Yanmar Vio 35(7700 lds) is 5.something cubic feet and I wouldn't want much more reached over the side with any kind of dense material

    Yanmar Vio45-5 buzzer

    My Yanar Vio 35 does this on occasion but faintly. I think it is a back up horn and there is an intermittent electrical issue that causes it to come on

    Mini excavator brush grinder

    Have been looking into the Rut 28 inch disc mulcher for my Yanmar Vio 35. There is a video of one running on a 27(?) size Bobcat with 12 rpm flow and it looks like it is doing OK. Also you can purchase a brush cutting head for the mulcher for a few hundred dollars that does a good job of mowing...

    Komatsu PC-40-6 excavator max bucket size

    My Yanmar Vio 35 (7700 lds) uses a 32 inch wide 5 cubic foot clean up bucket and slings heaped buckets of muck out of my waterhole at full reach with no issues. I would guess your machine would handle a 6 to 7 cubic foot clean up bucket.

    Split link on JD450C dozer

    That looks workable. Most of the pins are dimpled like the one in the attached photo
