    Derek 1 :) 2 I have not had anything break, do not think Deere is know for not stocking enough parts though. 3 I drove a 244J with over 2,000 hours and it seamed just as tight, that being said any mechanical device will wear out. Paul R

    Noisy split rims on WA180

    Thanks for the response everyone. I can't investigate the sound further until someone else drives the machine while I listen to it. The noise did seem to be coming from all 4 wheels and all the time rolling over uneven ground. The tires are all inflated to 45psi, thats what Less Schwabs said to...

    Noisy split rims on WA180

    Just started using my Komatsu WA180 again, been siting for a few months. I noticed a creaking and popping sound seamed like from one of the corners of the machine when working. I did not here it when I was on the machine but noticed it when someone else was running it. I listened closer and the...

    Deer calls this there site pro. Its a universal skid steer QA adapter. I am planing on using a fair amount of skid steer attachments. The ones that don't have to be as heavy duty anyway such as a flail mower. Paul

    That is the factory fuel tank location. Liebherr does not sell the small stereo steer loaders in the US, as not to compete with Deere I guess. In the Liebherr literature I noticed they offer a large tool box as an option installed on the left side opposite the fuel tank, I probably would have...

    Thats my Tundra and trailer in the photo. The trailer is 3,300lbs, I'm still looking for a truck to pull the new loader. I do use the Tundra to pull my Power-trac 1445 on that trailer at about 7,500 lbs gross. I was just testing the weight center to see how I will have to load the 244J, it is...

    Mini loader cost?

    Decided to purchase a 244J but they are rather scarce on the west coast. The dealer found a new one only 67 training hours. Don't know how thats new but oh well. The problem is the machine has a 1.4 yard 86" bucket instead of a 1 yard 76" gp bucket. That seems little large to me for average...

    Mini loader cost?

    So I tried out the 244J, really nice machine. Did not get a chance to try the ride control. Would this help a lot at speed over rough ground? It really does turn tighter than the other machine I have ran so far. The standard tires seem to small, would I be better of with the optional larger ones...

    Mini loader cost?

    Deciding on small wheel loader I am in the market to purchase a small wheel loader and want to stay around 10,000 lbs to facilitate moving with my equipment. Only looking at machines in that size range that have cab and ac. I have narrowed my search to Volvo L20B, Gehl AWS36, and Jcb 406. The...
