    D3K2 mulcher

    That's a good point, the Barko I'm running is 300HP and sometimes even it feels under powered.

    D3K2 mulcher

    I have a Bobcat FRC60 head for my skid steer and a Barko 930 on the ranch right now that I'm borrowing from a friend. Your machine is probably between those 2 in size. I can do about 1/4 acre an hour with the skid steer and around 1/2 - 3/4 acre an hour with the Barko, my brush isn't very...

    2017 Kubota SVL95-2S error codes

    There's an extended warranty for that DEF head and Kubota has a recall on one version of it. I had mine replaced on a 2017 machine with 2200 hours last year at no cost to me. With less than 1400 hours, it's going to be covered by the emissions warranty. The other alternative is a weight loss...

    Komatsu PC300-8 vs Volvo EC340DL

    I have an EC250Dl with 9300 hours on it that I love. I don't have any emissions issues at all with it. We just finished a project with it digging 15,000 yards of material in rocky soil, it ran like a champ and only burned a little over 300 gallons of fuel. My only complaint is that Volvo is...

    Looking for 299 class machine. What are the comparables?

    Case also has the 340, 450 and 670 in the 90 - 110 HP range. My buddy just got a new 340 and really likes it, he also really likes my SVL95. I like the Kubota because of the slide up door, I use my machine on the ranch and am usually working alone, being able to work the controls from outside...

    Cat vs Kubota

    The evaporator coil probably needs to be cleaned on your AC. The only way to do it correctly is to take the seat out and open up the unit behind the seat, it takes me about 4 hours not to recover the system, remove the seat, remove the AC unit, clean the evaporator with a hose and air...

    Kubota SVL 14 pin connector not working

    I'm trying to attach an attachment to my SVL95 that uses a 14 pin connection and I'm getting nothing. I've checked the fuses and all are good, 16 and 17 are installed. I have the upgraded SSV joysticks with lots of buttons and 9 pins in the 14 pin connector. When I turn the key on, I don't...

    Hydraulic cylinder for thumb?

    If you just need the cylinder, a good local hydraulic shop would be where I'd start. Give them a few measurements and your pressure specs and they might have what you need sitting on a shelf.

    Dealer trade in offers

    I never heard back from the dealer after pushing back on the trade value so I'm just going to hang onto it for now. It runs fine, I just thought it would be nice to have a machine nobody else had farted in. I'd look at other brands but since I work alone a lot, not having a door that allows me...

    Dealer trade in offers

    Yes but, used equipment is also moving very quickly and at premium prices. I guarantee my machine would sell for $55k or more in less than 2 weeks if the seller has access to financing. It would take me a little longer to sell it because I'd need a cash buyer or one that can arrange their own...

    Dealer trade in offers

    Base was $78,300, fully optioned was about $91k. $45k on trade I could probably live with, I still think it's a little low but, it's closer.

    Ranch machine so kind of both, the transaction is exempt from sales tax.

    Dealer trade in offers

    I've got a 2019 Kubota SVL95 with around 1500 hours on it. The machine works fine, AC even blows cold and strong, tracks are new, service has been kept up with, retail it would be a $54,000 machine, give or take. I've been kicking around trading it in for a new SVL97, not because there's...

    Volvo D8H EGR delete? (EC250Dl)

    I've got an EC250Dl that came to me with the emissions deleted but the EGR still in place. The EGR had developed a coolant leak and it looks like one of the bolt head broke off and it's just not getting enough compression on the gasket to seal properly. It's going to have to come out to...

    Kubota SVL75 Air Conditioner

    I think I could actually do it in 2 - 3 now that I've done it once. It wasn't that bad, just tight quarters. Eventually, I'll post a video. I can't get to it it right now, we're in the middle of renovations and 1/2 the house is blocked off.

    Anyone Have Tinted Windows?

    I pout 50% on my excavator, it made a big difference with the AC and eye strain. I'm going to do it on my skid steer as well, just haven't gotten around to it yet.

    Don't lie, you know you do it also...

    I end up sitting upright like that as well sometimes. I do the same, remind myself to lean back and relax. It's funny how you get into a zone and don't notice yourself and then all of a sudden you do and you're like "Why am I so dumb?" LOL

    Don't lie, you know you do it also...

    I've got a Volvo EC250DL, 50,000 pound machine, 30,000 pound breakout and yet, when digging in hard rocky soil, I find myself pushing harder on the joysticks as if that's going to make it dig better. I occasionally catch myself and remember that an open pilot valve is an open pilot valve and...

    Kubota SVL75 Air Conditioner

    I added some felt tape there. I don't to completely stop airflow if the filter gets completely clogged and figure the felt will still filter some of the dust out if air goes around the filter and through it.

    Kubota SVL75 Air Conditioner

    That's not my video, just one I found. I actually videoed it all step by step instead of just instructions at the end. It took my about 6 hours all told but, I also changed the oil and did a couple other little things. I could probably do it in 3 or so, start to finish, now that I've been...
