    Excavator Ballet vid....

    Don't know if this has been posted before or not..... East coast Canadians are so creative. There was a better version without all the commentary but I couldn't find it. This one is still pretty darn good though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYzAJviXr0Y

    300-1 swing motor and swing brake...... weak

    Our old 300H-1 Hitachi is topping 12000 well maintained hours. This machine has a very weak swing and the swing brake takes a long time to stop the machine. So a quick question: If the swing motor is getting tired will the swing brake also be affected? Thanks guys.
