    NH LX885 - How to tilt the cab????

    LOL, thanks 25c, I was half kidding about the quick attach diagram but thanks!! I wound up having to cut the pin and replace the pin and handle. I grease it and had the bucket off a couple months ago and when I finally got it apart it was full of grease so I don't know what the problem...

    NH LX885 WON'T START! Help!

    Hey All, after 2 years with my '99 LX885 it finally gave me a problem. It won't start! I just wired in a new strobe and backup alarm, went to move it and it just diesels.... sounds like the fuel's not getting to the engine. There's a white rocker style switch above my right shoulder that has...

    NH LX885 - How to tilt the cab????

    Anyone know of any resources I might have missed in my search? Tomorrow I'm going to call the dealer to see if they can help me out but I don't want to take it in, I'd rather find the problem at home.... Thanks

    Bobcat 863 OR New Holland LX885

    Well that about answers my questions on Bobcat! I thought they looked awful hard to get around when I was trying to see everything..... Around here, New Hollands are hugely popular for agricultural and I see a bunch of skid steers as well.... I'll likely go with the new holland but if anyone...

    Bobcat 863 OR New Holland LX885

    I've sold my old Thomas and am looking at newer larger machines and have found a Bobcat 863 and a NH LX885. Both seem close in spec. NH has TD 70hp engine and higher load rating. I'm not concerned as much about the #'s as I am ease of service and reliability.... I've used both machines and...

    Anyone have experience with ASV loaders?

    I'm looking for a track loader and was checking out the new PT50 and PT60 today. They ride nice and have an optional "turf track" you can get but I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with them in the long term..... how are the Perkins diesels? Any recurring issues with anything on these...

    Homebuilt Hydraulic Thumb?

    Just thinking about building my own hydraulic thumb for the TB007. It should be simple, but as far as the geometry goes, are there any hard and fast rules or formulas for positioning the brackets or is it trial and error? Does anyone have any plans in .pdf format available or good online...

    Anyone own a Takeuchi TB135?

    Still looking for a larger machine than the TB007 - which by the way I have been thoroughly impressed with for a tiny machine! It seems overall that Takeuchi seems to get really good reviews from people so here's what I have come across. Found a 2001 TB135 with 2600 hrs, no thumb, no cab - just...

    Ultra mini vs. 1.5 ton

    We've got a Takeuchi TB007, it's small - real small, but man it can dig all day. We were (still are) on a budget when we purchased it for about $10,000. It has a Yanmar diesel engine, expandable tracks, removable canopy we can get in almost anywhere to dig and we still get $50.00/hr for it...

    Bobcat 320 Any Good?

    We've got a Takeuchi ultra mini TB007, it's a great little machine and we're getting alot of use out of it but for alot of stuff it's just underpowered. What exactly about the BOBCAT machines don't you like? I've searched forums on here and haven't heard much mention of the 320 specifically...

    Bobcat 320 Any Good?

    Hi all, just looking for opinions on the BOBCAT 320 mini-excavator. Was it replaced by the 323?? What's it like for controls and reliability? I'm assuming it's got the D722 Kubota 13hp motor? Any input would be appreciated. I've found a 2001 machine up here with 1400 hours on it with a...

    Thomas Skidsteers??

    Ya, I think you make some good points KSSS. Maybe we should sell it while it still has some value.... I found a bobcat 853 in pretty mint shape for a '98 (I think) and the guy's asking $12000 (keep in mind that's CDN$$$) but it has no attachments. We'll have to see what happens. None of the...
