    What is the number one dozer being used in construction?

    There maybe more forsale on used sites but that's not what I was meaning. There are groups that keep track if who sells the most equipment new per manufacture. Cat was leading in all areas for quite awhile until a few years back where jd passed them in total world sales up to 200hp. I'm not sure...

    Deere 750C hard starting

    The primer pump on filters is a little black round bulb on top of fiilter housing. It doesn't look like much but it does move. There are black collar similar to the one to remove filter. Spin that off and screen is under that. I beleive it's the rear filter.

    Deere 750C hard starting

    If you have someone to watch take line off and spin over see how good it pumps?the only thing is its suppose to hold fuel against pump and they get weak and leak back. Then it's a delayed start. Could be that screen listed above also. They get really underpowered as those plug up also.

    Deere 750C hard starting

    Check you lift pump on side of block. Likely worn and letting fuel leak back from main pump.Then it has to pressure system to main pump when you go to fire up again. I've had to change ours with less hrs than you. They are inexpensive ! Steve

    What is the number one dozer being used in construction?

    It is interesting to hear the area specific perspectives but there is no denying that jd is no.1 up to 200hp?

    750c heating problems

    Yes all pulley's however you can likely save ac pully and alternator on 750.I would also check the rad like previously stated with infrared heat gun to verify rad.

    750c heating problems

    Our td25 had about 5800hrs so it is possible.The belt may have stretched far enough also that it slips a percentage.I thought it was the rad but we had it checked it was good.Then we were thinking it was a trans pump but it turned out good also?We were a bit stumped so the mechanic decided to...

    750c heating problems

    Those have serpentine belts and the pulleys wear flat and belt starts to slip. I just had this on a td25 that normally ran cool? We replaced all pulleys and can't get it hot now.

    how to make a living starting small

    This is a very interesting topic!i first started working for various companies gathering all sorts of experience which has helped immensely over the years. I started with a d8h on my own but work was limited(mostly land clearing)and costs to keep 8h running limited earnings. Teamed up with...

    Liebherr& johns Deere

    Sounds like jd & liebherr coming to end of their contract. Ive heard that jd already has a version of the 1050 being r&d'd right now. They should've been able to get enough tec from liebherr to go on their own!

    What is the number one dozer being used in construction?

    Read a article ! Read a article not long ago that said Deere had market share up to 200hp crawlers! Then Cat had market share on anything bigger! After that komatsu ?

    Tier 4 and beyond?

    Was talking with a guy that has oil tank trucks and they are so disgusted with t4 the non ending problems.They have started buying glider trucks(new with no engine or Trans)and then buy rebuilt cat or cuummins non emission engines and install on their own!these trucks run slow in cold weather...

    Tier 4 and beyond?

    From what I understand as you lean out the engines you get more n2o. This is what they are trying to dilute with the def. I think it's all a farce! One trip from Calgary to Dallas with a 767 likely releases more of this than all our dozers combine in one year! It's a joke and by the time you...

    Tier 4 and beyond?

    The off-road is a small player in the grand scheme of emissions? Liebherr told us they produce just over 1000 machines a year? Cat & komatsu likely double that but when you compare that to trucks and cars it's minimal. Why even worry about the footprint of these machines? It's ridiculous and...

    Tier 4 and beyond?

    I sincerely beleive this all money grab for someone! I'll give you a example of some machines we currently use. On one occasion we did a demo of a new td25m we had our two current machines one of which was a 1978 td25c. We kept track of fuel consumption on all 3 and in the end it was the old c...

    Russian electric drive dozer.

    Looks to me that the 7 is a size or two bigger tractor and the russian tractor a lgp? He would have quite abit less traction compared to 7? We have had lots of pushing contests with Cat 7g's and 8ks and in almost every case whoever has his blade lower will win. The only true way is to hook a...

    Tier 4 and beyond?

    It seems a little of a smoke show when these so called emissions requirements make the engines burn more fuel to make the same hp? Are you not still emitting more co2 into the atmosphere?? The climate maybe changing like it has for 1000's of years but I doubt we have much impact. Right now here...
