    Case CX55B hesitation in arm and blade.....Hydraulic issue.

    The CX55B was built by Kobelco. If you have a Kobelco dealer in your area, they may also have a fix for that, that your CASE mechanic may not be aware of.

    help me read this chart for aux hydraulic capacity

    Pulling 10 additional gpm from an excavator this size is a huge ask. I don't see it happening. I had an IHI excavator years ago. I don't know if the 80NX is the same but they used to run 4 pumps. They were great multifunctional machines in my view, because of that. If your able to get what...

    Which 8 ton excavator?

    If you have a Wacker Neuson dealer around you, check out the ET 90. Its horse, I liked it better than the Kubota and it runs neck and neck with the 290.

    Trimble setup

    We wanted to buy a Trimble total station. They wanted 3600 a year subscription. I don't have any for the 2D Trimble. We bought a GeoMax Total station with no subscription. My TopCon subscription is 700.

    Trimble setup

    I went with Trimble and Sitech for 2D. Here anyway, Scitech can't be beat for service. I ended up going Topcon for LPS and GPS. Here anyway RDO isn't close to the service of Scitech. I went with Topcon due to the system itself, I think is better for me. I am hoping that RDO gets their poop...

    DL550 + cat br378

    As I think about this, you need to have the plug put in the 14 pin to activate the high flow. If you do not have that inserted, your not getting high flow. I am guessing your only pushing standard flow.

    DL550 + cat br378

    Ya your pushing way more flow than that. It probably is only rated to 3500 PSI.

    Case 40xt not starting

    Hopefully its in the starter. If not, I am not sure where else to look. I don't think that has anything to do with the instrument panel.

    DL550 + cat br378

    Its rated at 41 gpm, at extreme high flow. That is a lot of flow. Just because an attachment is "high flow" you still need to look at the attachment and determine if the motor can handle the flow that the DL550 makes. When your running a machine on high flow or even low flow, the lines the...

    Case 40xt not starting

    I know you checked it but, it sounds like a grounding problem.

    Does JRB Style Quick Couplers is the same as kid Steer-Style Hydraulic Couplers???

    I am not for sure what your asking. But typical JRB couplers are a common standard on wheel loaders. They make excavator couplers as well, but I think this is what your referring. JRB coupler will not hook to a skid steer in my experience.

    DL550 + cat br378

    The machine comes with enhanced high flow. 4100 PSI and 41 gpm. You need a plug to go into the 14 pin to make it work. To engage the aux hyd it works the same for high flow or standard. Hold the switch on the right handle. Go to the control panel. You will see a green icon light up, hold...

    Now I've messed up (can't reattach hose on SR220)

    I assumed it was the same. You should be able to press in the pressure release on the skid steer and be fine. I have done it countless times. Sometimes you have to press hard on the release to get it to release if wasn't done while it was running.

    Now I've messed up (can't reattach hose on SR220)

    Did you try pushing in the pressure relief on the machine after the machine was off? That can help. If not, crack the couplers open on the attachment, relieve the pressure that way.

    Cat 289d high flow

    FAE, has a standard flow model. It might be worth to see what it would cost to convert yours to include the electrical connections necessary. It might at the end of the day be cheaper to go the route Nige recommends. I don't know for certain but I doubt it would matter that the pump is high...

    Cat 289d high flow

    You might be able to replace the high flow pump on the mulcher with a standard flow. What brand of mulcher is it?

    Skid Steer Tire Size.

    I can't imagine how that would even operate. I have never seen anyone do that.

    CAT 279D-Is dealer lying about need to remove engine to clean DPF and clear ECM code

    That is exactly right. How you run them makes a huge difference on how long the DPF will last. I think SCR is the very same. Run them harder and there are far less problems. I had a straight 4i DPF machine in 2015 it was a CASE SV300. We ran it hard for 2000 hours and not one DPF issue. I...

    CAT 279D-Is dealer lying about need to remove engine to clean DPF and clear ECM code

    The fact that its a reminder, that can be ignored. The issue is when it actually needs to be serviced. Like the one in question. Its a filter and at some point, they have to cleaned or replaced. Having to pull the motor to do that whether it takes 16 hours or 30 is a ridiculous cost.
