    Kobelco sk60 hour meter reading help

    I don't know about that year but defiantly worth checking out at a Kobelco dealer. See if part is available and get price. $$$$. I also would get part number for that year and see if you can find it in a salvage yard. If the salvage yards don't have them its a pretty darn good indication they...

    track motor rebuild (hitachi ex 60 URG)

    I had to get one rebuilt and I took it to a reputable hydraulic repair shop. They sourced all the components and had it repaired in no time. Installed and never had an issue. I think they were able to source parts through aftermarket contacts those shops have. Might be worth checking around.

    Kobelco sk60 hour meter reading help

    Had a 1995 SK60 Mark III. Your hours showing on that monitor are 2216 hours. Now while I bought mine used with 5500 hours on it I had to buy 2 monitors for it while I owned it. The used monitors came with different hours so I bet that machine is no different. I had main computer issues and they...

    Sanny vs Kobelco

    I'm impressed that Kobelco is price competitive with Sany. Cat even beat Kobleco in my last purchase. I would Definity go Kobelco if you have a sound dealer and price is close. Usually Sany is 20 percent cheaper.

    Kobelco Fault Code Help

    I had a 1995 Kobelco SK60. I know that's a much smaller unit but it had that same controller. Don't move that stepper motor by hand...... When you do it screws up the main CPU. When the main controller which mine was under the seat fails I don't think you will find a replacement. When my machine...

    Cat 308,309,310 next gen for mulching

    I have a 307.5 Cat second generation. I run a Brush Wolf HD brush cutter on it. The new Cats have a ton of settings to accommodate attachments. My machine will put up 32 gpm and My cutter will take up to 30. I set the flow to 60 percent and that allows most functions to work smoothly with the...

    Kobelco SK60 Problems

    Just found my old serial number. Mine was 572 so close. Probably made same day. I paid $2200 for the last new CPU I found. Used were around $1400. It will solve a lot of the issues you describe but my display would work even if CPU was bad. I think I paid $600 for used display. I did have a few...

    Kobelco SK60 Problems

    Had one of similar vintage. Hell it could be my old one but can't find the serial number to confirm for sure. My guess is main CPU is toast. Its located under the seat. Not sure if you can even get new any more. I had changed the display monitor as well. Internet will give you breakdown as to...

    Kobelco sk70 throttle not working

    Ryan I had an SK60. If you manually moved the stepping motor arm I was told that it would cause a voltage spike that fried the controller. As mine was a 1995 model I bought several used controllers from salvage machines and all eventually failed. Found a brand new one in Europe and it was...

    Cat 307.5 display icons

    Oh yes. Found it.. Feel dumb I didn't look far enough into manual to see that. This machine is so great in its ability to set it to whatever level of function you want. Thus a book that is 2" thick. Thanks for your help

    Cat 307.5 display icons

    So there are no Italics print on the front of this manual. So this machine was manufactured in Feb. 2020. Would the newer manual have things in it that would not apply to my machine?

    Cat 307.5 display icons

    Ok. Thanks. It definitely appears that it is the power on demand type of indicator and is turned on or off by the pushing of the center of the throttle dial. I will pay closer attention next time in the seat. Snowing here today. :(:( Thanks again

    Cat 307.5 display icons

    So the center of the throttle knob has the same icon. When I press the center it toggles between green and brown. I pressed it green and cycled the boom and travelled but the display icon on the screen didn't go green or change. My manual is M0090571-08 Jan. 2020

    Cat 307.5 display icons

    I agree with the power on demand comment and it does appear that he did push on the center of the control knob to activate. This is the new Gen 2 display but I will try that and let you know. Thanks

    Cat 307.5 display icons

    The screen shot you show is different but it does appear that the icon I am talking about is the regen. Now my question is why would it intermittently flash green in the first 10 hours of use and now is dark and does nothing? it only has 30 hours on machine.

    Cat 307.5 display icons

    Just demoed and bought a Cat 307.5. When demoing the machine there was an icon at the top center of the display that said Smart under it and would flash green on occasion. After setting up all the shortcuts on the machine the icon is there but never lights up green or says smart. Anyone know...

    Bobcat E85

    Just bought a used one and demoed it in the dealer yard. Seemed to turn fine on loose gravel but that is an easy turn. Now putting it to work and finding it struggles to make even slight tracking corrections when driving on sod. When running aux. it will hardly move up even the slightest grades...

    Kobelco SK60 Mark III hydraulics

    I have a 1995 Kobelco SK60 Mark III. I run a brush cutter on the unit and lately when the engine temp. gets up to operating the boom will not lift 1 time out of 5. If I let the control go to neutral and retry 9 out of 10 times it will then come up first try. IF I shut off the cutter while...
