    S 300

    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

    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...

    What's the difference in blades...

    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 ...

    Adding case drain to 773

    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 .

    Big snow chains on front tires only: is there slip between front and back wheels to allow for the now larger dia front tire?

    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...

    Clearing snow on a hill?

    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...

    Big snow chains on front tires only: is there slip between front and back wheels to allow for the now larger dia front tire?

    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...

    Clearing snow on a hill?

    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...

    snow plow shoes

    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...

    Flail mower extension

    Was wondering as I was thinking of using low flow on a rotary attachment but was told without case drain of some type it would destroy seals in drive motor . I know on a tractor PTO driven unit used on older tractors rotary motion would drive tractor forward without a overrunning clutch used ...

    Flail mower extension

    Noticed you are running 2 lines to hydraulic motor and no case drain line - so you will need a overrunning clutch on driveshaft as when shutting off hydraulic flow - centrifugal rotation of the cutter will create a problem of oil trapped in motor with no place to go
