    Just Bought a Case 9060 Excavator (100klbs...)

    That isn't right. Our 35k hour 235 cat will throw the track in the air with no problem. Are the hydraulics slow? Also what engine speed are you running it at. Some need 3/4 throttle or more to make full power. You may have a problem with the pump or relief valve.

    Just Bought a Case 9060 Excavator (100klbs...)

    you would have to check pressures at the drive motors. if pressures are the same +/- 1 percent, then more than likely the motor is worn out. low hydro fluid wouldnt do that

    Which medium Excavator for personal use?

    we have a Kobelco SK290 that would be great for that. its a little too small for our rock quarry, but as a farm machine, you could do a lot worse

    volvo v50c transmission problem

    That pump should be able to prime itself correct? Or do I have to do something to prime it? It was about a half a gallon low on fluid. Topped it off and going to order the front output shaft seal. Its looking like the pump is toast unless I'm missing something.
