    compact loader vs skid steer

    Sez you. Lol. Maybe in five years or so.

    New owner of a Yanmar SV40

    The etymology is curious, isn't it. I used to own a small "cat" dozer, and cats are often referred to as pussy cats, so small pussy cat. Small = little. Pussy cat = puss. Contracted to Lil' Puss. No testosterone was harmed in the process.

    compact loader vs skid steer

    CNH did NOT buy GiANT. They signed a partnership with GiANT. GiANT will still exist as normal. Case and New Holland will be selling a limited variety of machines. Think of it like how John Deere sells loaders that are made by Liebherr.

    compact loader vs skid steer

    The Giant CWL's are made in the Netherlands. High end machines, priced comparable to Cats. Kubota engines. Quite a wide product line up. There are two models larger than mine. Like I stated, this is replacing, and a step up from, my Mustang 2040. I forgot to mention that it also has the...

    New owner of a Yanmar SV40

    Took delivery of a '21 SV40 today. It's replacing a 1988 Mitsubishi MS035. Talk about night and day. Heat, stereo, six-way blade, and A/C. I could live in it. There is going to be a steep learning curve.

    compact loader vs skid steer

    Well I bit the bullet and got a Giant G2700HD+ 50 HP CWL. It is articulated and oscillating. Handles a ton of heating pellets up a steep drive without breaking a sweat (and it has heat and stereo). Kicked the skid steer to the curb and not looking back. Disclaimer: This was the first time I used...

    Giant wheel loaders?

    Has anyone had any experience with these little wheel loaders? Made in the Netherlands by Tobroco Machinery LLC.

    compact loader vs skid steer

    I know this thread has whiskers, but considering a Giant G2700 to augment or replace a Mustang 2040. So wondering how the Giant would be for carrying a ton of heating pellets up a steep gravel driveway. The last articulated wheel loader I ran was a Cat 944 in 1966.

    Converting over 3 point implements to run off a skid steer??

    Did you get it second hand? There are three models that are matched to your skid steer's system flow rate, plus a hi-flow model. If you get the wrong one you'll either get poor performance or toast the hydraulic motor. What do you have?

    Converting over 3 point implements to run off a skid steer??

    That depends on the HP and flow of your skid steer.

    Converting over 3 point implements to run off a skid steer??

    I just got this Eterra model. Going to use it with a brush cutter. https://www.skidsteersolutions.com/motorized-skid-steer-3-point-adapter-eterra/

    To Trade for a Dozer or not to trade!?

    I know it's old, but this thread just popped up in a search I was doing. This thread should really be named "Yuchai Dozer Bashing", and there is an awful lot of ignorance on display as well. I have a 2006 model that I spec'd and imported myself through a broker. It currently has over 600 hours...

    Hitch Doc Dual Dozer

    Here are the results of my inquiry: I have a legacy Hitch Doc Dual Dozer (two DA hydraulic cylinders) that uses two Trimble GSM-2 laser receivers which run into a junction block, and is remotely controlled with a compact controller. I believe it is a 14 pin Cannon circular connector on the...

    Hitch Doc Dual Dozer

    They are Located in Bellingham, WA, about 75 miles from me, and they charged me $15 to ship three $8 DIN connectors. So consider that if you order anything from them.

    Hitch Doc Dual Dozer

    Thank you. Interesting site. I prefer referring to them as LEGACY equipment - makes me feel younger ;):). I have an inquiry going, so we'll see what they say. At least they have a reasonable deal on the DIN connectors for the hydraulic valves - going to order a few. I see that they use the...

    Hitch Doc Dual Dozer

    Switches, boots, and circular connectors I believe I got at Allied Electronics. https://www.alliedelec.com/ LED's and LED holders are from Amazon J-box and blank cover from Home Depot Magnet from Harbor Freight Note: If you plan on undertaking this swap, I don't recommend de-soldering wires...

    Hitch Doc Dual Dozer

    You got further than I did with Hitch Doc, they wouldn't send me anything. You might be in good shape if you have a pin-out schematic for it, but it would require swapping ends with your old connector. I wound up just transferring all the components into a plastic switch box with a blank cover...

    Question on Trimble GCR-2SM

    Actually, the plastic j-box has been working out pretty well. I just transferred all of the components into it. I haven't gotten around to replacing the connectors on the solenoid valve yet, female spade connectors work pretty well. I also found why the system went crazy on me and quit - bad...
