Slow speed dilemma

Help Support SkidSteer Forum:

I read some of the post again and I was just thinking about something that happened to me with a S series machine and I would guess that a late production date of a 763 may have had the same thing , under the seat , in what I call the cowl , there are two hidden holes that are covered with plastic plugs , under those plugs you can use an allen wrench to get to a bolt which acts as a adjustment -limiter , and I seen where the part the allen screw threads into breaks off and screws up the travel of the lever movement , I would doubt it could happen on both sides at the same time , but maybe if the machine was equipment with that and they were out of adjustment it could be an issue
Hi, thanks again, I have not been able to get to work on the machine this week but hopefully I will be able to bring it up to my place later in the week to work on. I will certainly look at the limiters as the engine rev's appear quite okay. I know there are two bolts on each side of the linkages that join to the steering arms through the wall and I was going to check them as well in case they had been spread apart causing the limitation of speed similar to your allen screw limiter. My machine is an "F" series and I know it was made in 1999 but I am not sure of the month or even if they show a month on the plate.

That's the same model and year of the one i have too.
Where in .au are you?
 
Hi Tazza, Did you get any time to test your S150??? Waggles, I meant your S130
Sadly no, the weather on the weekend was rather poo. I'll write a note, see if i can take it for a spin this arvo.

Hi Tazza, I hope you have good weather for this weekend so you can test your speed, looking forward to hearing what it does. I have yet to get mine off the truck but I intend to change the bucket from the 4 in 1 to a standard one to check to see if the hydraulic oil quantity in the system has anything to do with the speed. I do not have a clue if that is a possibility or not as I have not yet looked at the was the system works but when I had the 4 in 1 bucket disconnected hydraulicly but still on the machine, it appeared to run faster. It might just have been my imagination but I will have to test and see.

The bucket won't do anything. Oil moves it opens or closes a cylinder, nothing more. Also, the hydraulic pump is seperate. It has two drive pumps, one for each side, one pump for the lift, tilt and aux hydraulics.
Hopefully it will be better this weekend, just depends if i'm home long enough to give it a run..... I'll do my best to get a chance though.

Thanks Tazza, I figured it was just my imagination but I am also short on time and had not looked at the basic mechanism. I hopefully will get some time to go through the basics after I finished the mountain of paperwork that I have to get done.

I only got 6kph, i wonder if its because its too slow to get an accurate reading with it.

I don't think so Tazza, mine gives me a mph reading even when walking but it's a older one. Maybe the rops structure blocks some of the signal. I have to try this today.

Hi Tazza, Makes mine seem like its a race car then as it goes between 7 to 8 KPH. Thanks for trying, I will have to try Jerry's idea of putting it outside the cage, that is gonna be fun trying to mount it lol. My GPS is about two years old, I might even try borrow my son's GPS unit as well.

Ron ,my New Holland goes 5.7 mph and 8 kph at 2400rpm. Two different runs so the numbers may not translate accurately. I don't think the cage affects much but it does not react as quickly as when I walk and hold it. Maybe I will get someone to walk alongside and try it again.

Hi Jerry, what are the book speeds your holland is supposed to do? Mine is 11.2KPH book wise. I was thinking of hanging it off the roof of the cage so I can see it but outside enough not have reception or interruption issues. I agree the cafe should not affect it but it is worth a go. Looking forward to hear some more test results.

I wonder if the trees did it too, It tok a little while to start giving me a speed, but eventually did. Even going up a hill it sat at 6, i swear its faster than that too. I rekon i could block it and measure tyre rotation speed and work out what it should give, but its without any load.

When I walked and held it the response was within 20 feet but in the machine, I laid it on the door threshold, it took at least 50 feet to start showing and was slow in gaining although the machine was at top speed. the newholland book says 7.5 mph but they are running it at 3000 rpm. will try again with help.
