the michelin xl's i have are in fine shape (like new) except for the 1 i blew out the sidewall on last week. So my dilema is whether to buy a replacement michelin and a spare and spend the same amount on shipping them or go ahead and buy 5 of the Pirelli's and pay the same on shipping. If i'm...
oh gotcha. Well i bought it to push snow and do this project. I dont want to replace a clutch either but i intend to use the machine :). I hope it can stand up to my abuse. I'm borrowing a skidloader to help get the loose dirt out for the remainder of the project. its just too slow to...
I've been operating w/ the hoe deployed now and I agree with you all, it does feel better.
the speed jumping back and forth between hoe and loader is so much better as well.
here is a progress video.
that little trick about reversing the lever at the last second works wonderful. Got it on my first try on flat ground with low rpms! I went ahead and did that about 10 more times tonight. I used to try to minimize how often i switch between backhoe and loader but after learning this trick i...
so I have managed to latch it with the same method you show. I just didnt 'realize what I had done to accomplish it! after it happened i was thinking to myself, what did i just do that made it latch so nicely. I'll try this tonight!
ya i wasn't thinking that it helps to stow it for CG, I was more thinking about that large mass hanging off the back maybe throwing off the balance on the springs. but honestly i just hadn't really thought about it much at all!
i have a hard time getting the boom to raise enough to latch. it...
so stow it far enough to get it to latch so it won't droop once i disengage the pto? getting it to latch is the hard part so once i got that far i never thought twice about the extra time to fold it up, i just assumed that was the better position but i'll try leaving it down.
my plans are to...
I used an engine hoist / cherry picker with a chain through the square opening. First time breaking it loose took a bit but it popped loose before it lifted the wheels off the ground :)
electrical for the mill? i need to run a new 220V drop across the shop to a subpanel. From there it will feed a 10hp 1 to 3 phase VFD convertor.
electrical on the SEE? I've got about half the wiring fixed, still something going on with lights, i only have the orange lights working.
i guess hobby. i've been around that type of work and used to have access to a full machine shop at work. I switched up my work arrangements, I'm full time remote now and I miss having those tools. so i'm now starting to build up my own shop. the cnc plasma would probably turn into a small...
