Sorry to bring up an old thread but our 811 is just slow when swinging the boom left to right any answers or tips to make it a little bit faster our cycle times seem to be one every 30 seconds. Every once in awhile it picks up to 3 or 4 in the same time

I have not idea about any of it except the concrete. Use a small impact gun with the rounded tip i used one for concrete that was about a foot thick its loud but it works

So replacing the seal on the lift/detent valve is ok to do on say just the detent sleeve?

Could it be the ground on the bottom of the starter? we had that problem with ours and it was causing the traction lock light to blink 4 times and the headlights to kill the motor along with the gauges not working.

the brake used to work it was probably getting weak and the lights i hope not...

our traction lock isnt working on ours we can drive all over with it (no problems) but when you push the traction lock button doesnt make the clicking noise and if we park on a slight slope it goes rolling and also when we turn on the lights it kills the motor??? any ideas anyone?

Well it took a new day for me to understand what you where saying but yes it has the oil pan heater. lol Thanks and Happy holidays

Its got heat in the cab if that helps and yes its the oil cooled duetz but the oil heater youve got me stumped on its got the plug in for 120 volts

I was wondering if it would be all right to run 15w 40 heavy duty oil in out 863 turbo during the winter we try to plug it in as much as we can and it will be kept in the heated garage most of the time. Thanks in advance. Corey

When i flip the switch on my dads 863t for the lights it kills the motor no idea what could cause this????

I have never put chains on, but from what ive heard you can lay the chain on the ground and back on to it then take a bunjee cord and wrap it over the top over the tire. And finally back up again and that should lift the chain with the tire

well spent the day today on the phone with the local bobcat and got the stereo in and man is it nice its loud gets rid of the engine noise and helps relax. thanks for the help with the wires i tapped into the wrong one at first got it after a bit

Is it true to back it up the trailer even if it has a turbo and do i plug the exhaust if i back it on the trailer?

I was just wondering how many of you guys & gals use a stereo in your machine? Can I just run that right off of the battery or does it have to be in the wiring harness of the machine I understand bout the fuse block and would probably run a decent in line fuse. Any and all comments appreciated...

Thank you all for the information.
