    Takeuchi TL230 Pilot Line Filter Error

    I completed a service on my Tak TL230 and the 2 times I've started it to move the machine it continuously flashes the light for Pilot Line Filter and the in cab alarm sounds. I've taken the filter housing off, looked at the filter to make sure it's seated right, cleaned the housing, put it all...

    Takeuchi TL130/ TL230 differences?

    I have a 2010 Tak TL230 with the Yanmar motor, I'm looking to source filters and such from my local Napa if possible to save the drive time to/from the dealer and usually the extra cost for normal service intervals. The cross reference book at Napa shows oil, fuel, hydraulic, and air filters for...

    Washing Windows

    What's your guys trick for washing windows on your skid steers or any machine that has protected windows? The metal screens on my Tak are bolted and riveted on making washing the outside of the windows pretty tough. The newer Case we have at the farm takes about 15 minutes to pull all the...

    Cut in track, run it or replace?

    One of the tracks on my Tak has a big cut/slit halfway across it and I'm not sure how long to push my luck. It's not cut all the way through (tread side of track to smooth inside) but it has to be pretty darn close, it only goes from the outside edge of the track to the middle where the sprocket...

    Rural area skid steer service?

    I've been toying with the idea of trying to setup a business of my own to get away from working for various different companies depending on the season to keep some steady money coming in. I'm in a rural area on the IL/WI border and have a background in agriculture but very very limited...

    Newer style Bobcat Brushcat

    Does anyone on here have one of the newer style, dual motor brushcats? I was initially looking at a 72" CID extreme mower with the open front but came across a newer 72" standard flow brush cat for a decent deal. They look pretty neat with the floating deck, dual motors, and the rear roller and...

    Prefered brand of 72" or 78" dirt bucket?

    I'm looking to buy a new 72" or 78" dirt bucket for my ctl. I've currently got an 80" bucket which is turning out to be a huge pita to find edges for. Very few stock an 82" edge and the ones that do have a different bolt pattern then my bucket. I've been looking at Berlon buckets which are made...

    Market for used CTL tracks?

    I'm looking to switch tracks on my TL230 to a different pattern that will allow me to push snow with it. After changing tracks I won't have any use for the factory tracks on it which are still 65% or better. I'd hate to see them just sit around until they are junk from lack of use so I'm...

    TK TL230 Quick Attach Busted.

    I have a Takeuchi TL230 with the hydraulic quick attach. It went from working perfect to nothing. I pulled the switch apart and a couple connections and cleaned them out and there was no corrosion. When I push the switch to either lock or unlock the pins nothing happens. No solenoid click, no...

    Rolling/Freewheeling a dead Gehl 5640.

    A friend has a burned up Gehl 5640 that needs to be moved around and eventually loaded on to my deck over trailer. I don't know much about the machine and it's not local so I am unable to look at it ahead of time prior to going to load it up. Do the 5640's have a built in release for the drive...

    Suggestions needed for wheeled SSL for farm.

    A family friends farm that I help at sometimes is in need of a new/new to them skid steer in the 2000-2500lb range. They had a 05 or 06 Gehl 5640 that worked pretty well for them as far as size goes. Mechanically it was a problem child most of it's life and burned while picking up bales a couple...

    TL230 Door Rattling.

    I've recently purchased a used Tak TL230 ctl and my biggest complaint is that the door is freaking annoying. It doesn't matter if I have it closed or open it rattles and makes all sorts of racket in the cab. Does anyone have a fix to quiet them down without taking the door out?
