    In my experience…

    Honestly I used to think that Massachusetts and Connecticut had the worst drivers but I’ve got an updated opinion. Back before Christmas I got sideswiped in my old truck by a brand new car. I know it was new because I saw the temporary tags while I was trying to get them to stop. They left me in...

    In my experience…

    Seems like I have close calls every day. Back in south Texas I used to blame it on oilfield workers but in east Texas I just blame it on idiots. Last week I was on a 2 lane side road and I met a wide load carrying a shed or mini house. I slowed down and made room. Right before we passed I looked...

    Agreed. As much as I try, I cannot sell maintenance to anyone in this area but when a machine goes down they want me yesterday.

    One of them is a 544k loader and the rest have been in H and L series skidders. Oil is hy-gard and it’s regularly changed when the axle breaks and there’s no other option. Maintenance is not only not very high on the list, it usually doesn’t make the list.

    Genuine VS Chinese parts

    You get what you pay for. If you buy Chinese junk, you’ll have Chinese junk.

    I’ll tell you what happened. Vetech shows up and makes one post and then the forum posts 3 pages of speculation before he returns.

    Did you move your residence there or just the operation?

    If I had a deal like that, I’d ride that sumbitch right into an early retirement.

    Strange buyer's

    3 year rule. If I look at it for 3 years and don’t use it. Adios. Sell, trade, give it away or junk. It’s gone.

    Deere 200 clc hyd. Issue

    I’m going to call it the propel flow combiner valve. #6 and #8 are the evidence. The auxiliary function flow combiner valve is on the opposite side of the mcv on this machine.

    Deere 200 clc hyd. Issue

    That’s correct. He one thing that is different is #2. It looks to be a duplicate of #5. I was thinking along the same lines as crane operator. my thought is that the small pilot like line feeding the cap pushes the spool upwards and when it return, it is slamming into the cap and breaking it. I...
