    Lets see your "ultimate" service truck!

    Actually to work in the mine does not require a high level of expertise, we have a shop to back us up and a long list of spare equipment. But the guys in the seat don't even grease or fuel let alone change a fuse or filter. Further more they seem to prefer hiring those who could not if they had...

    Lets see your "ultimate" service truck!

    I think the valve I'm installing between the 2 tanks has a check in it as well. It prevents air from leaving the supply tank until there is 90 psi, (So I wont have to wait any longer for the truck to build its air) and I believe it wont reverse flow either, but I'll check. Thanks

    Case skid steer stuck

    Fork lift from behind, brute force or removes the hoses from the drive motors so the oil can escape then it will roll a little easier. That being a baby one you might drag it with a 4x4, then put it up on greased boards and push it in the shop. Skidsteer.ca

    Blowing snow with 95XT and 7424 Blower

    I tapped into the switches on he LH control of a bobcat and made my own harness up and also used that 4 switch setup on my NH as well. Both loaders had 7/8" pipe for a steering lever so the switch fit right on top with little modification. That part from Bobcat was @$120 It has momentary...

    Skidders- Tracks ot Tires, Lines or Grapples- Lets see what you've got!

    Yes but the main purpose is to part the decaying duff layer on the forest floor to get to the mineral soil layer. The cut blocks are ariel seeded and this allows the seed to get started in soil. Seeds in the duff layer die because that layers dries out too easily. This gets the jackpine started...

    763 belts

    Bobcat is generally around $50 to $60 if you find them anywhere else for less let us know, but i didn't think that was too bad. Be sure to check your belt tensioner when you have the belt off, I have seen them run out of grease where the excentric pivots in the center of the bearing and wear...
