Skid loaders are just plain quick. Easy to see your work. A wheel loader would be second quickest, but either will out work a conventional tractor with a loader.
We have bunch of skidloaders. 3 Case 85 xt. 1 Case 95 xt. 1 New Holland Ls 190. 1 John Deere. The John Deere is a POS if you want my honest opinion. The New Holland is OK. It's main redeeming quality is the 2 speed. I like the 85 xt's most, but I like the 2 speed on the 95. I would...
What have you done to fix the 1093? On my truck I only have to install a new fuel filter, but other have had to ship their FPRV. As far as no brakes. Check to see if it still has a belt. If it has a belt make sure if it has steering fluid and then if that all checks out I would bet you're...
My right one wore through at 162,000 miles with my left one not too far behind. The new ones are identical so I used a zip tie to pull them back so hopefully they won't rub.
Just a heads up. On Christmas eve my truck developed a soft pedal that truned into no pedal. The problem was a leak in the rubber brake line that goes to the caliper on the passenger side. I inspected the drivers side and it also had rub marks. Worn about 1/3 of the way through. The stock...
Good luck. I had to ice pick the "new and improved" ones within 2 months. Now it has been 18 months or so with no problems.
Noticed you're from northern utah. I live in Tremonton.
You are right. That is a big unit. How much does it weigh? How wide is it? If it's light enough pull it with a pickup. It looks like it has caster wheels so the tounge weight shouldn't be excessive if I am looking at it right. Or have a tractor hauled there and drag it home. 120 miles at...
That is great. If you were going to send him I was going to voluteer to pick him up at take him to the MTC. Better with a strange guy from the DTR rather than being alone.
Did your corn finish wierd this year too? We planted the same variety in 2 different field that are 100 yards apart. We also planted the 2 fields about 3 weeks apart. The early field was fairly poor not too high and small ears of corn. The late field polinated and filled later than it should...
The V3 is great. It works especially well with the long overhang to help keep the tower on top of the ground. It also minimizes rolly wheel tracks.
On my sod ground I would put the v3 drives on every tower if I could afford it. I do not rework my ground on my sod fields. Just aerate and...
I know for sure it wouldn't have tipped if it was a 2 wheel tower. When my guy got to the field the center wheel was on the pallets and one wheel was slightly on the ground and the pivot had safetyed out. As soon as he pushed the start button it fell. If he had waited we would have just used...
Yeah it's amazing what the will climb when they want to. We had a truck driver parked on the track loading sod. They knew the pivot was walking towards them, but they were too busy doing forearm exercises and the pivot climbed the trucks hood. Luckily it safteyed out, but I was still pissed.
I had a big whoops on the farm today. Some dumba$$ left a stack of empty pallets on the pivot track and tipped the end tower over. I will try to post pictures tomorrow. :cuss:
