Best machine I has was the 785 NH with Perkins , good balance for most work and easy to run. Curse the day I sold it after getting a different machine . Ran it for 6 years after buying it used - replaced pump and the valves - had to use old pump shaft as new aftermarket pump had different drive...

Thought the 784 was a DEUTZ engine machine 785 used Perkins or Ford 3 cylinder

A 300 yes - Dealer was at a loss , said they checked and replaces sensor on wheel , replaced seal as it might have been from leaking oil , then suggested computer , and several other it might be things . Not much help or did it solve problem .

S 300 - right rear wheel will go into Crab position and not return . This happens in Crab (4 wheel steer) and also in locked skid drive Had shop check it out and $4,000 later was suppose to be fixed but does the same thing again. If one switches to skid mode , then plays with the left hand...

Most snow blades are setup to float to follow contour of area where snow is , dirt blades are not and are controlled by downpressure of machine . For moving material a grading planer on a skid loader works best for leveling .or a bucket and backdraging after spreading material ...

What son has done when adding hyd equipment is use a cross over valve set to pressure so when flow stops from pump pressure is diverted from pressure side to return line .

One of the great things about son's plow with the hinged float is you can pin it and use it like a bucket to push yourself backwards to gain traction again . No telling how many times I had to do this , take it as part of plowing . Also with hydraulic swing or angling one can use that also to...

Son builds both buckets to any size or width and different machine attachments

Have been moving snow for 50 years now and mostly use truck mounted plow for general use but cleanup with skid loader plow or bucket . Last year I had to stack snow 3 times to keep lots open and skid loader worked good except last time when had to move piles and stack snow up to 12 or more feet...

Snow plows are not high flow , they are left-right turn and only use a small amount of hydraulics to complete movement Here is sons plow he has been manufacturing here in MN - He builds them here in MN but ships anywhere . I delivered 2 plows this spring to Ohio and then a couple to Iowa . He...

Depending on what and how you plow yet seems front of machine is wat gets hung up high as rear traction is the most important part of traction issue . Plow I use can be pinned for down pressure or unpinned for float . Down pressure for back dragging as well stacking snow with blade straight...

One of sons designs now for plows has shortened the distance from blade to faceplate for skid loaders so plow is a lot closer to machine , This makes the plow A frame pivot with single cylinder rather than 2 rams like most plows . Also has a hinge frame instead of chain or solid mount so plow...

Lot of places sell them and generally a 1" shaft welded to the skid plate . You can weld beads of hard surfacing rod to the base on skid plate to extend life . Most of my plowing both with truck and skid loader is asphalt and I do not use shoes. TSC , Fleet Farm , Northern Hydraulics all carry...
