    KX057, Combine Aux Flow?

    Excavators require very little flow for movement when the mulcher is running because of the way that you mulch. Gravity is your friend. The Cat 308 puts out 33 gpm with 55 engine hp and is a stellar performer.

    KX057, Combine Aux Flow?

    Your machines flow is rated at about 1000 psi not at max pressure. It only makes about 20 hyd hp so there is plenty of engine hp left.

    KX057, Combine Aux Flow?

    I wondered that as well. If possible it would be nice. If you can find someone with a flow gauge then you could check it.

    Cat 308 Opinions

    Volvo does not have enough Flow for them to be considered. Gehl has a high total Hyd flow but I have not been able too verify what comes outm the aux circuit. If I am just buying the machine based on digging and Aux hyd togethor then I will get a KX080 however if the 308 is close on digging I...

    New Excavator Purchase considerations.

    Interesting. They really needed to up the aux flow and I am glad they did. What mulchere are you looking at? Torrent makes one for that size machine as well as Baumalite.

    New Excavator Purchase considerations.

    Am I understanding you right that they got 25 gpm out of the new TB153? That would not make sense as you cannot have more Hyd hp than engine hp. Or either there rating the flow at a lower psi. 25 gpm at 3000 psi is 44 hp. You will usually lose 30% engine hp in when driving hyd motors so the...

    New Excavator Purchase considerations.

    Takeuchi is getting 25.6 GPM 3000psi from 39 engine hp. That would be impossible. Have flow checked on all machines as has been posted. Also need to consider which machines contols and travel work best with a constant aux flow on each machine. Some machines will perform better with the same aux...

    Topcon Excavator 2D System X-22

    For what my setup gives me in return it was probably the best money I have ever spent. It eliminated one employee and still cut production time by 30+%. I kick myself everday for not getting it sooner.

    AGL EZDig Pro

    There is a sensor that reads the stationery laser which it uses for s reference point. So you would need to be able to reach the lasers beam exch time you moved the machine. On a large machine you would be able to do quit a difference in height without moving the laser. The sensor mounts on the...

    AGL EZDig Pro

    I like it. I have had it over a year and it is very accurate. The reason why I asked what size machine you have is you have to bench the to the rotating laser each time you move the machine and if the machine is not on firm footing it can lead to accuracy issues. For example say you have to...
