    KX121-3 vs TL250 Loading Trucks

    I hate to admit it but I cant run my 121 wide open, it is a fast little machine. Mine pulls a 36" bucket with ease, I day dream about a 42"! I refer to mine as a QC because it only has one pin to pull maybe yours is hydraulic? If the machine can sit high on the stock pile it will load heaped...

    Overheating and boiling.

    My Mitsu water pump cost me 700$, it never stopped pumping, just didn't pump enough. Before changing it run the acid rad flush crap in a bottle, that stuff scares me but it did help BEFORE changing the water pump. Mine would only overheat in the summer at full load. Mine went out while paddling...

    Sound cancelling ear protection

    I bought Sonys' a year ago, they were not worth it. How ever i just bought a pair of Ryobis that take a 4 volt and wow! They have microphones on the front to amplify conversation that actually work. They do not have built in am/fm like the 3m. 50$ if they last a year great. Im going deaf so...

    Detroit diesels

    They always leak but they always run. Put one low in the bilge and that tub will always come home, if it gets low on oil there is always some in the bilge.:usa

    Grease guns

    Love the Milwaukee I second what PAcattech said, however I still have to use my manual on some fittings on the junk. It does take a bigger 12v battery.

    drott 40

    I have had a wheeled Drott 40 for years. Mine was setup originally as a feller buncher? Then it was a county machine cleaning ditches, it has a tilt wrist. It has so many pedals, switchs, I have to look at the diagram every time I run it. We had an old timer that could run like he was born in it...

    kubota kx080-3 VS Bobcat E80

    I have a Kx-121-3 with just over 100hrs. So far so good! I looked at the Kx080,I have bigger machines, I needed smaller. I have the angle blade, wish it was the 6way. Travel pedals suck but I got over it, it is a mini after all. :beatsme If I dont wear the seat belt my butt pushes it into the...

    Long reach on 15-20ton excavators..

    :drinkup That anchor would go over well at the marina I'm dredging. That is a bit classier than the boxes of sand on the fenders of my Drott 40.

    Long reach on 15-20ton excavators..

    I have been in the bucket of my machine with a chain saw and I would never do it again! A scaffold or cage and body harness would not convince me to do it again either. I have an old man lift trailer thing with 45' of reach and a always crooked bucket, if the job requires me to go higher than...

    Long reach on 15-20ton excavators..

    I have a Cat E 140b with a 45' reach. It has an extra counter weight on the back. Small bucket to be sure, slow hoist when its slap full. Tippy? yes but I run mine on a 24X40X4 sectional barge and it gets the job done. This is a grey market machine, but parts are available. Everyone round here...

    315L Cat excavator running hot

    Clean the radiator and oil cooler inside and out, I gave mine heavy duty cleaning and flushing then new coolant before replacing the thermostat because I knew the water pump for my machine was close to 800$! I had to buy that pump after all and it cured the problem but do the cheap stuff first...
