    Hydraulic help

    The attachment is being made from a wrecker boom off of a conventional wrecker, so the cylinders and winch motors are already sized. Will just need to have the correct flow and pressure for them. I have a rudimentary understanding of hydraulics, my plan was finding a way of feeding four...

    I have a 2014 takeuchi tl12 standard flow. I am in the process of building a winch attachment for off road recovery. The attachment has 4 functions: boom up/down, boom extend/retract, winch one, winch two. I am trying to figure out the hydraulics at this time. Would like to be able to...

    Moving cars

    So I was able to demo the L20b and tl10. The L20b would lift a car but was super light in the rear end and was not up to the task. The Tl 10 did a good job on on cars that weighed between 2800 and 3500. It was able to pick up and move a 4000 lbs mini van, but I had to be gentle moving it...

    Moving cars

    Couple months ago I asked some questions about buying a used loader on this site, I was advised to run away from the deal, don't even walk away. Well that turned out to be great advice, someone else bought the loader and it is back on craigslist for parts as the tranny took a crap. Well here...

    cat 277b

    I have a line on a cat 277b, don't know a lot about the unit but here is what I know: Approximately 6100hrs, new tracks, said to have good undercarriage. Cab unit but something is wrong with the ac and maybe the heat. (Said some sort of motor needs to be replaced.) I believe I can buy the...

    Should I buy a W24C

    So here is the deal I have the opportunity to buy a Case W24C it is in good shape, 4 real good tires, 4 in 1 bucket. I really have no use for a loader but I have always wanted one. Selling price is 8k. The seller says the only bad thing about it is it is 2 wheel dr, But I can't find a two...
