    Dozer blade on a skid, has anyone used one?

    I just added a 6-way Grouser dozer blade to the ASV rc100 and I could not be happier. It's no D5 but if you run it slow and don't go too fast it does exactly what it is intended for. All my roads now have nice crowns. Did I mention to go slow?:drinkup

    Will a 6 way blade stand up to rocks?

    Thanks, The size of the machine is the second part of the question. I have a Case 1155d and was thinking that a dozer close to this size with a 6 way might do the trick. I will probably rent a machine for a week to do this job. So a D5 or D6 would probably work? Another option would be...

    Will a 6 way blade stand up to rocks?

    I need to widen and grade a road but it's cut into a hill side which has a lot of rock in it. Will a 6 way blade hold up or do I need a straight blade then come back with an angled blade? Thanks.

    Anyone know who makes ASV Hydraulic cylinders

    Yes I have had them apart becuase I thought they would need a seal kit. The cylinder walls are scored to the point where a seal kit would be a throwing good money after bad. (Just like the Bail out.)

    Alternator / Generator question

    Hi all: I have a 1986 1155D track loader with what looks like a Generator for a 24volt system. It looks like it only has one wire coming off of it. Is that possible? Everything else I work on has at least a positive and a negative. Thanks.

    ASV RC 100 bucket dumps on it's own.

    I'm in Lynchburg and the lighter attachment (bucket) will drop a foot in a minute. with the engine running. I'm not sure I understood Shane. Is he saying switch the hydraulic lines? I can do that.

    ASV RC 100 bucket dumps on it's own.

    I have a mulching head and a bucket that I use on the ASV. My problem is that both these attachments will tend to drop or tilt down when I'm not on the controls. My guess is that either the seals in the cylinders that hold these up are shot or I have a check valve (If this machine has one)...

    New ASV to me Thank you for the tips, I ended up buying the ASV RC-100 from a fellow member on this site. The machine is just a blast to run and very predictable. It has the lofness head and a 4 in 1 bucket which all work great. There is nothing like the joystick controls and A/C in such a...

    Thank you! The oil I added was JD-20 equivilant. My thought process was that it ran the Hydraulic movments on the machine and also the transmission. I'm probably out in left field here. I appreciate your help. Nick

    I split an oil line on an attachment and lost about 6 gallons of hydraulic oil on my 2005 RC 100. It holds 20 gallons but since I didn't have the manufatures spec oil, In a pinch I added back off brand Multi use Hydraulic Oil. Any suggestions if I should drain the whole sytem? Thanks.

    The Case loader 1155D I bought has a 4 in 1 bucket and I was looking for the best way to remove 3 inch diameter and smaller scrub. so far keeping the clam closed and pushing with the teeth pointed straight down seems to work best. I also tried opening the bucket half way to knock the...

    Track Loader or Dozer?????

    I found the perfect beast. I went ahead and bought a Case 1155d that is 27,000 pounds with a 6 cylinder cummins, 4 in 1 bucket and rippers on the back. It seems to be exactly what the doctor orderd. Next will be a root rake of some sort to clear more area. I plan on enviting Paul Carpenter...
