    Skytrak Telehandler hydraulics killing the engine

    This is exactly what mine is doing when starting back up after it stalls. Mine is a 2013 skytrak 8042. Machine initially wants to stall again initially, but will operate and drive as long as you are raising or lowering the boom at the same time. The first indication of this problem we had was...

    Deere 35D trouble starting

    Just reporting back. After having the dealer and several other people look at it, everyone determined it was an injection pump problem. Not wanting to buy a new pump, we sent my pump off and had it rebuilt. Once they received it, they could not find much of anything wrong with it. Since they had...

    Deere 35D trouble starting

    I actually did try pushing that in. It was moving freely. The manual would be great if you could. Did you get my email I sent you the other day? If so, send it to that email address. If you have any other suggestions or tips it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for all your help so far.

    Deere 35D trouble starting

    I went out to where the machine was to see if any of the suggestions would help out. I removed the electronic shutoff solenoid. It did not allow it to start. I then opened up the overflow valve. The plunger was not stuck. It was moving in and out freely. I turned the key in and it was pumping...

    Deere 35D trouble starting

    I agree with you on that. I should spend some more time eliminating some simple problems. Would it only have problems starting on the first start of the day if it was a clogged screen or some other problem of that nature? Would that even be indicative of a injection pump problem? It seems more...

    Deere 35D trouble starting

    After trying everything I could do, I finally had the local equipment dealer come out and diagnose it. They tried several theories and came to the conclusion that it's an injection pump. They originally thought it could be a low pressure pump and decided to try that first. Electronic transfer...

    Deere 35D trouble starting

    Fuel should be good. I usually pump it from my transfer tank in my truck and haven't had any issues with my other equipment. As far as the electric primer pump goes, it's at least getting power and trying to pump. I can hear it running when I turn the key on. Is there something else or another...

    Deere 35D trouble starting

    I'm not exactly sure how to check them, but I do used them before trying to start for the first time in the mornings. Almost seems like it is losing fuel pressure the longer it sits.

    Deere 35D trouble starting

    Checking in to see if anyone has some advice. I have a 2014 Deere 35D with around 900 hours on it. Over the last month or so it has slowly taken longer and longer to start in the mornings. Then once it's started it usually starts immediately after turning the key the rest of the day. Yesterday...

    Cat 259d or 289d Deere 323e

    I bought a 259d. I can't tell you how much happier I am with this machine over my last deere as well as a as the 323e that I demoed extensively. The front idler suspension takes a little getting used to, but other than that I am extremely happy. It's quiet, has plenty of power, and have had...

    Cat 259d ride control

    While we're on the subject, is there any other options that you must have on your Cat ctl's? I know you have a bunch of them.

    You talked me into it. I just told them to order it.

    Cat 259d ride control

    I asked to demo one that had it installed, but my dealer didn't have one. Yes. Mine has the counterweights installed too. I like the cat so much more than my deere in most other ways so far, but I just haven't got used to the feeling of that front end dropping so much when traveling over rough...

    Cat 259d ride control

    How many of you guys have or have had experience with the ride control? I bought a new 259d and like it for the most part, but am still not really caring for the suspension of the front idler when carrying a load. Seems to be a lot of rocking and bouncing back and forth. Does the ride control...

    Deere G series skid steers

    Dealer came by the site trying to get me to demo their new 317g that came out. I told him it's too small for what I want, but he says it'll be comparable to a 259d cat in terms of specs. Briefly looked them up and there wasn't much on them but was saying it was only 65 hp machine so I don't see...

    Buying advise John deere 333e vs kubota svl90-2hfc

    I operated a kubota and really wanted to like it but it was terribly slow in my opinion. Deere seemed like it would work circles around the Kubota. Deere was better going into a pile of dirt and lifting it out. Was able to pick up more weight with forks on than the kubota. Seemed to pull itself...

    Cat 259d or 289d Deere 323e

    That's a good point. It did not have the counterweights installed. I should probably ask about that and see how much those weigh and how much lift capacity it gives you. I feel like if that front idler wasn't suspended it would probably handle it. It just seems to squat on that front idler and...

    Cat 259d or 289d Deere 323e

    259 is hands down the most comfortable machine I've ran and I really wanted to own one, but put it to the test today and it failed. One of the more common things we move on the job site weighs 3500 lbs and it would pick it up just fine, but if you had to back up it would tip over every time...

    Cat 259d or 289d Deere 323e

    Pretty much decided on the 259 we're just a little off on price. I thought I had mine sold and I was ready to jump on the outright price. However, since it didn't sell the trade they're giving me is terrible, so not really sure what to do. Now the dealer is trying to push a lease on me. Hasn't...

    Cat 259d or 289d Deere 323e

    They are bringing a new 259 down to try out from one of their other stores Monday or Tuesday. Sounded like it had all the options so I'll try it out and see how it performs.
