    Volvo EC700B Boom lights quit

    Got a 2007 EC700B machine. Last fall all of the lights worked like they should. Now this spring Ive noticed the 4 lights mounted on the boom are not coming on. Is there a separate circuit/fuses just for those lights? The light switch seems to be a 3 position switch from what I can tell... Thanks!

    What does XL mean in crane models?

    We have a Grove RT865B. Looking online I see they made the same model but an XL version? Does anyone know what the difference might be? Thanks

    Grove RT865B (PAT SYSTEM) winch won't retract...

    Quick update... All issues are resolved and new cable is back on the winch correctly. It was exactly what you guys recommended checking. Once I bypassed the PAT system I was able to lower the boom down a bit and then everything was back to working like normal. Thanks!

    Deere 850K, Does this sound normal??

    Good to know. If its completely normal it sure is a strange sound and makes you wonder what the reason behind it is...

    Grove RT865B (PAT SYSTEM) winch won't retract...

    Appreciate all the tips! The more I think about this Im leaning towards it being locked out due to the a2b switch. Makes sense because the boom is fully vertical right now. Thanks!

    Grove RT865B (PAT SYSTEM) winch won't retract...

    No thats the biggest issue probably. We are just a large crop farm and we like to run some big equipment. Also have a Volvo EC700 Excavator

    Grove RT865B (PAT SYSTEM) winch won't retract...

    Good to know. Was not aware that you could bypass the system if needed. I'll need to research how to actually do that. So far it seems that everything else functions normally. Just the Aux. line retract and boom lower not working, which they both did before we fully removed the entire cable... I...

    Deere 850K, Does this sound normal??

    Got a 2014 850K with around 9000 hours. No def on this machine. Have noticed when it goes into regen or cleaning exhaust filter it makes quite a strange sound. Almost sound like the exhaust is fluttering or surging. Curious if others have noticed this same thing or if something is wrong with the...

    Grove RT865B (PAT SYSTEM) winch won't retract...

    Have a Grove RT865B crane that uses the PAT system in it. We are fairly new to this crane and still learning how to operate everything yet. We are in the process of putting a new cable on the Aux. winch, but now cant get it to retract the new cable in. The winch will still turn the other...

    Viewing Cat Service History Info?

    I was recently told that you can find service history on a machine by using either CAT ET or SIS? Bought an excavator (352F) a few months ago and would like to see what's been done to it over the years. Just curious if I can do this possibly myself or have to beg the dealer for any info.. Thanks!

    Deere 850K Tracks Left

    Few more videos posted. Wondering if there's a chance something in my left final drive is causing it to lock up or slow down with every rotation? But then why don't I have any issue in reverse... This machine defiantly has me thinking!
