    Seat Cover for Excavator

    I would like to get a decent seat cover for my 2005 Kobleco SK80cs = New Holland E80 CS, to help protect the seat bottom/high seat back & to make them easier to keep clean. I got the seat bottom locally re-upholstered a few years ago. Does anyone have a good source for such a seat cover...

    Adding Hydraulic Lock Valves & Hose Burst Valves

    As I often use my excavator (a 2005 HH EH80cs = Kobelco sk80cs) for lifting & holding things, even the small amount of cylinder drift I have in my bucket circuit (about 0.6mm / 5 minutes) is more than the zero I would like. My boom & arm circuits have virtually zero drift because the original...

    Cylinder Drift Allowance

    I just finished doing in-place drift tests on the hydraulic cylinders on my excavator, a 2005 NH EH80cs = Kobelco sk80cs. Here are my results: As expected, my boom & arm cylinders have virtually NO drift, because the lock valves in the main valve chest are working as they should. I was mainly...

    Load Checks on Kobelco / NH Excavator

    I need some help & advice on how to check/service/replace the load checks on my NH EH80cs excavator. The s/n is listed in my "signature" section at the bottom of this post. A little background....Despite getting my bucket cylinder & thumb cylinder repacked/resealed not long ago, both those...

    NH L220 Interlocks Have Me Defeated

    Since it appears that Winter is finally over in upstate NY, I felt it was safe to remove my snow plow the other day. So, my SS started up just fine, shut the door, engaged my "seat belt defeat" switch (has a seat belt in place of lap bar), pressed the "operate" button on the panel, & WTF!! The...

    Custom BOCE & Bolt-On Teeth

    Some time ago in another thread on HEF I read where someone had added a bolt-on-cutting-edge (BOCE) & weld-on teeth to refurbish a skid bucket. That seemed a good idea that I wanted to try to refurbish my old compact utility tractor bucket as well as add to my much newer skid bucket. So, I...

    Skid Steer Quick Attach on Excavator

    Has anyone put a skid steer quick attach on their excavator so they can use their skid steer attachments (mostly pallet forks) on their excavator? ...and have you done it with a pin-on quick attach plate or with a quick coupler with the coupler adapter plate welded to the skid steer quick...

    Orlando 2016 Iron Planet Auction

    I, my wife, & another couple were in Orlando last week for a short vacation. One of those days I had them drop me off at the Iron Planet auction just south of Orlando in Kissimmee. I have never been to an auction on this big of scale before, & I had a ball...what a hoot!! The auction was...

    Starter Cranking Problems for NH L220

    I have a 2012 NH L220 SSL that I bought new at that time, & I need a new 12-volt battery. The existing one (the original CNH one) seems to have gotten too weak to start the machine, despite being "fully charged" by a battery tender. I may have damaged it by fully discharging it several times...

    Ripper for 8 Ton Excavator

    For an upcoming project that involves some gray shale & hard glacial till, I'm considering getting a ripper for my 2005 NH EH80 CS (really a Kobelco sk80cs). Also, it would be better than a bucket for ripping our stubborn tree roots & stumps. I'm in the process of getting a quote on one from...

    50 Class Excavator Comparison

    I own an 80 class excavator (a 2005 NH EH80CS = Kobelco SK80CS, with 24" steel tracks), I love it, but someday I might want to replace it with something just a little bit smaller. That would probably be a 50 class machine. That size is probably one of the most popular compact machines on the...

    80 Class Excavator Comparison

    Since I own an 80 class excavator (a 2005 NH EH80CS = Kobelco SK80CS, with 24" steel tracks), I'm always interested in how it compares to the current offerings. Besides, I may want to replace it someday. Never mind the fact that I love it, & I think it, & Kobelco, are under rated. But that's...

    Mult-Function Joystick on NH L220

    I have a 2012 NH L220 with high-flow hydraulics & the 8-function joysticks. But not the enhanced (higher pressure) high flow. The 8-function joysticks are pictured below: So far, I've only used the 1/2" std. flow with the proportional control on the right stick. I understand that...

    Info Availability from OEM's

    As an individual owner/operator shopping for excavators & skid steers, I have become increasingly frustrated with the non-responsiveness of most equipment sales people. I find that most of them really don't know the machines they are trying (?) to sell, & when you ask for real technical...

    Pics of Rear Drawbar/Hitch/Winch for SSLs/CTLs

    Improvement # 2 to my New Holland L220 SSL was the addition of double 2" receiver hitch tubes to the rear drawbar. See my thread https://www.heavyequipmentforums.com/showthread.php?35861-User-Improvements-to-New-Holland-L220-SSL-amp-Attachments A SSL/CTL is basically just a "power unit" to...

    User Improvements to New Holland L220 SSL & Attachments

    In Dec 2012 I bought a new, custom ordered from the factory, L220 SSL. I chose this brand/model as the "best" for my purposes in the 60 hp class after a hard look & try out of units from Cat, John Deere, Volvo/JCB, & Case. Because of my intended uses on my property's turf & woods, often on wet...
