    Need a bigger machine, but first I need to get a tow rig. Help please

    Aziron, those are some very nice rigs! Thanks for sharing. That single axle truck setup is very cool. The machine you have on it is huge compared to what I imagined.

    Need a bigger machine, but first I need to get a tow rig. Help please

    Thanks for the feedback. I've been in business for 11 years. Always been hesitant about getting machinery that was too big to sell work for in our market. I've started realizing that I should have grown in size a long time ago. For the past year I was sure that I would purchase a 5 ton machine...

    Need a bigger machine, but first I need to get a tow rig. Help please

    This last year was one of our best years ever. There were a few things holding us back. I realized we took too long to load trucks, and we have the work to keep another machine busy. But getting the size excavator I want means purchasing a truck and trailer to haul it with. we currently have a...

    Short term use of mulcher

    We are in San Antonio and briefly ran a torrent mulcher on a 6 ton machine. Heat is an issue for most machines in South Central TX in my opinion. We ran an additional cooler with a small 12v fan that made a big difference. The bigger issue is that in rocky conditions a standard mulcher gets...

    case tr320 really testing my patience

    I wish I had done more research before purchasing my used tr320 at the beginning of the year eh controls even after the not-free “update” are the worst I’ve ever experienced. Cycle times for curl is agonizing and the machine hates to multifunction. Want to curl while moving forward? Be prepared...

    Considering ihi 55n-3

    I have been running a 35d for 3 years and it’s been a great machine. We do selective clearing and slope mowing. Most jobs are small and take a day or two at max. I’m wanting to get a larger machine. The ihi has a staggering 29 gpm of auxiliary flow which is why it’s appealing, also seem to be a...

    Case tr320 operation manual

    Yes EH. I’ve figured out most of it as I downloaded the operator manual online. I can’t get it to switch control patterns. I follow the steps in the manual but it won’t switch to h pattern

    Case tr320 operation manual

    Just got back with my new (to me) machine and there are a ton of buttons on the controls. Looked for the manual to figure out what they all do and, of course, it's not there. Anybody have an op manual?

    deere 35d slow hydraulics when running mower

    Tones- thanks for the response. I have an IR gun so I will definitely give it a shot. Mg2361- really awesome of you to post the diag info, thanks for sharing. I’m hoping I just have it in one way flow but I honestly can’t remember the last time I messed with that valve

    deere 35d slow hydraulics when running mower

    Was able to check my cycle times today and I’m within spec on each. I’m beginning to think that while running the mower something is causing excessive heat to build up in the hydraulics. My machine doesn’t have a gauge for hydro temp. I have 400 hours on the current hitachi zinc free fluid and...

    deere 35d slow hydraulics when running mower

    Thank you sir! Dumb question, is “high idle” pegged or in the green shaded area on the knob? Is this performed with no bucket? I’m guessing my 650lb mower would affect my times

    deere 35d slow hydraulics when running mower

    s/n 1FF035DXEA026537 With no auxiliary it performs normal. I can't tell if the boom and swing has slowed. I't doesn't mistrack at all.

    deere 35d slow hydraulics when running mower

    My 35d has developed an issue when running our mower. After mowing for a few hours, it gets to the point that when mowing and swinging at the same time the swing or boom is super slow. Curl is fine. I can't figure out if I'm having an issue with priority valve or if it's purely a heat issue. If...

    333d with high hours. Bad Idea?

    Well KSSS, I made a purchase you would probably approve of. I ended up with a TR320 with 1800 hours, and an enclosed cab. This will be my first cab machine and I'm excited to mow without getting a bunch of crap up my nose. It does have the dreaded JOYNU message. Runs and operates fine, just...

    333d with high hours. Bad Idea?

    Thanks for the reply KSSS. That’s my dilemma, I’ve had track machines in the past but it seems like the game is changing. I’m hesitant to buy a newer machine with emissions as my tractor has them and it’s a constant struggle

    3490 hours. This is through a dealer and he does not have the maintenance records. I run a Deere mini x and I really like my dealer

    333d with high hours. Bad Idea?

    Not spamming just trying to get more eyes on my question. Seems like there are posts regarding ctls on the skid steer and ctl sub forums.

    333d with high hours. Bad Idea?

    Please help! From what I can determine, drive motors seem to be the biggest deal. Anything I’m missing here?
