    Takeuchi 135, first start of the day

    Followed proper start sequence, has new battery, engine turns over fine no unusual smoke or vapors, seems like the engine is maybe turning over a little slow but starts and runs fine after initial high amperage shot. Thinking maybe armature has buildup on it not allowing starter to spin up on...

    Takeuchi 135, first start of the day

    I have a Takeuchi 135, 2007, about 3500 hrs. At the start of every days operations the machine will not start unless I put the battery charger on it, set to 140 amps starting, machine then will start right up and run fine for the rest of the day, doesn't make any difference if the machine has...

    Loss or reduction of hydraulic power

    Thanks for the replies, the digger is at the shop, found. Quite a bit of bronze shavings in the filter, don't know the outcome yet, think it is the track motor, but the entire system is contaminated, don't know how to correct that.

    Loss or reduction of hydraulic power

    The only hydraulic filter I can find reference to is the one in the hydraulic tank, is there another one or do I have to drain the tank to check it?

    Mulchers

    Tones, what you say is true but I am also looking to do this sort of work here in the valley. There are many 1 to 5 acre orchards that need what I call " small plot, or hobby farm " work that big operators with large equipment do not want to do. I experienced this some time ago with laser...

    Mulchers

    I have a smal pecan orchard(2ac, 170 trees) here in south New Mexico, every few years the trees need to be trimmed which is usually done with power saws, either on a man lift or large multiple bladed machines. That being said, either or all methods leave lots of trimming debris on the ground. As...

    Cross reference

    Does anyone know of a cross reference or equivalency chart that shows what the various skid steer numbers mean, I have a 753 Bobcat, how does that equate to a 180 Bobcat? or any other numbers. When I look at equipment online or Craigslist how do I decide what I'm looking at, just wondering.

    Mitsubishi MM45 Excavator info

    Nobody knows much about these machines eh? Anyone know of any sites where I might get some info? From what I have learned it seems that Cat took over Mitsu in the late eighties, so I may be mistaken about the year of this machine, Thanks, Patrick

    What do you use your skid steer for?

    We use our 753 for general work around the sawmill, cleaning up sawdust, snow removal, moving cut lumber and logs, etc. Was wondering if anyone has or knows where to get a cross reference between the old model Bobcat designations ( 753,853 Etc) and the new ones (180, 280, etc.)? Don't need a...

    Who uses a skid steer only at home?

    Hi all, new guy here. I bought a 753 Bobcat 5 years ago and took it up to Alaska to use around my son and I's portable sawmill. That has to be one of the best pieces of machinery I have ever had. I'd like to get another one to keep on my place in NM, have a small pecan orchard and am always...
