    Cat 330D / 325D FM vs ZX330

    I'm not sure on the 3554 other than what I've read, it's about 65 hp more and 20,000 lbs heavier than my 2554. Here's the specs A hitachi zx350 may also be a forestry based roadbuilder option

    Cat 330D / 325D FM vs ZX330

    I've put countless hours over the years on both the Cat 330c's & d's as well as the deere/hitachi 330's. The hitachi is the best on fuel hands down, the deere 2nd and the Cat is usually the thirstiest. I find the deere/hitachi functions to be smoother and more responsive, the cat's a little...

    Directional Felling Grapple

    Directional Felling Grapple

    That's Holbrook's ol 400 rigged up with a low cab and single bars isn't it. Makes me think the heel could sure be handy getting around in the steep and stumpy ground

    Directional Felling Grapple

    I'm looking at getting into a Deere 909 or Tigercat L870 with a harvester boom and set up for a 624c and possibly a Southstar FD750. The plan is to do as much falling/bunching for our yarder side as possible and obviously the processing as well. Great to read that the directional felling heads...

    Deere forestry machine voltage light on hour meter doesn't work?

    An update, I've tacked down a charging issue caused by the voltage regulator on the 100 amp bosch alternator, had a brush hung up with crud. I repaired the reg and charging great, still have the battery indicator light on. So I test for continuity from the w terminal on the alt to the pin...

    Deere forestry machine voltage light on hour meter doesn't work?

    I found a broken wire coming from the alternator, I repaired it and still have the warning light and no hour meter.

    Deere forestry machine voltage light on hour meter doesn't work?

    I believe that the w wire feeds current to the hour meter on these machines, no tachometer. I've got my hands full with this machine. Yesterday it blew it's second 1" travel motor hydraulic hose in 10 days, and now my IMAC HX40 grapple is giving me fits. It suddenly it lost almost all it's...

    Deere forestry machine voltage light on hour meter doesn't work?

    On my 2554 I've got the battery indicator light on in cluster. I was told by the original owner that the Deere's they run often have the hour meters stop counting after a alternator failure. I've checked alternator output and it is within spec (approx 28.6v if I remember correctly). I don't...

    A very sad day for our Skagit.....

    Those 30+" trees sure have a way of sledding down slope further than you can believe! How do you like the 2954 in the steep stuff?

    John Deere 2554 final drive problems?

    Is that right? I've been using the deere oil for years because I was told it would ruin the pumps to go to a regular AW46 oil. Good to know.
