Rc30
Hi
I run an RC30 and am very happy with it. Only have 70hrs but they have been relatively trouble free. Had the alternator come loose after the nut came loose on the adjuster but thats it.
I am new to skid steers so it has been a steep learning curve. The Positrack is very forgiving and IMO makes a novice operator look okay,
, particularly when levelling and working on steep sites.
Today was the first heavy mud that it has been in and it worked a treat, even took some video;

and some still shots;
Amazing that it didnt get stuck at all and this was after another tyred skidsteer had given up on the job.
I was a plant mechanic for a long time and wasnt real comfortable with the amount of mud and grit that jammed up in the rollers and heard the tracks skip a drive lug a couple of times which is expected getting towards the 100hrs and a track adjustment is suggested. This is not a reflection on the machine but more the issue of working in mud. Took a good hour to get it all out (more clay than mud
) so will try and restrict working in deep mud in future so the rollers have the best life. Mine also has a counterweight on the rear which i havent seen on many US machines.
Only real critisicm would be the slow cycle rate on the 4 in 1 bucket.
cheers
