    Cat Challenger 65 help

    We have one of the oldest 65's that is still working. It has over 30000 hrs. on it and still goin. Make sure you grease the suspension components at the bogey wheels everytime you use it.

    Ax Men

    That guy is just an accident waiting to happen. Its a wonder how he has survived up till now. He tries to take too many shortcuts. Eventually thats going to bite him in the arse. I like to see him on the show though. Its the comical portion. Makes me laugh every time they screw up.

    post vibration for skid steer

    Have you thought about adapting a hydraulic breaker to your machine. This works great. They are used here quite a bit. Use a worn breaker and saw it off flat for the anvil. Weld a cup on the anvil to put the posts in and use the downpressure of the loader. Works great. You could even put on a...

    C7T Treefarmer ?

    The two pins could simply be magnets that will attract any steel shavings that the transmission could produce. I have seen this alot in trannies. Most of the time there is some sort of indent on the bottom of the pan for the magnet to seat in but not always. They could just be free floating. The...

    rotary vs. fail mower

    Another thing to add with swampdog is that the flail mowers require much more hp to run than the rotary. There are fewer parts to replace/ repair on the rotary. It all comes down to what you need to do with it. The rotary will have a hard time if the brush is too big. If the terrain is...

    Shop Crane/Hoist build, need ideas!

    A good engineer could you give you some numbers for the size of beams and columns that you would need for the desired size of the crane. It doesnt matter if its a gantry or jib. Although, a jib would need some serious anchors if it was going to be large. I myself have a nice gantry crane tha is...

    NCCCO Testing

    The initial tests require that the person has at least 2000 hours of seat time overseen by a professional operator. I too just finished my recert. Many of the guys in the tests couldn't even understand english too well. They had to keep asking what some words meant. That scares me. If you cant...

    Hay Loading

    Around here, most growers use the balewagon to build the stacks. Most stacks will be either 8 large bales or 74-82 small bales. Using the hay squeeze(forklift) is the fastest way to move the hay from field to barn or to someone elses barn. The squeezes do have two sets of controls. One facing...

    Plasma Cutter?

    It is very easy to just flatten the ends of the pipes and than weld them to the posts. Time consuming also, not to mention tired arms. I built a little machine out of some scrap flatbar and a hydraulic cylinder that crushes the end of the pipe to the same dimensions evry time. It is run off of...
