Yair...excuse my ignorance but I have not run excavators since the days of the chain drive Kato's. I was told then to always dig over the idler end so that dirt doesn't build up around the drive chains.
I have noticed a few comments here on the subject and wonder in these days of enclosed final drives what difference does it make?
I get to observe several 13-25 ton excavators working on a road job and it seems to make no neverminds to them. I also saw a large Cat 324 walk about three quarters of a mile with the sprockets to the front.
Any comments folks?
Cheers.
