Thanks for reply don,t like what you said but think you are right.will probably take out spacers but leave weights for now. spacers sure make SS more stable.

What could be causing broken axles on 873? First one broke when we had tracks on but last two no tracks. Always back right. First replacement lasted 8 months 2nd lasted 5 months. New bearings both times There are spacers on, breaks where seal goes.

We wore out the Loggering type tracts we had and got a set of McLaren's with rubber pads on steel tracts. Amazing what they go threw and we can go on concrete or asphalt with tracts on. Expensive but believe there worth it.

Were also looking to buy 873G low hours but when we test drove it had noticeable smoke and black areas on booms and smell of diesel. Motor ran fine seem to rev up higher than 873 now have. Did Bobcat make any changes on fuel setup from early to late 873's? What are your thoughts?

Sure you don't need an excavator instead of skid steer? Since skid steers don't lift 14 feet high.

NE Kansas not sure what you mean a set of if is stabilizers I'am not needing those. Thanks

Would it be better to use these or put a splitter on main auxiliary to run two separate functions?

We have an 873 F with the backhoe hydraulics lines on each side on rear of machine. Can anyone tell me why they are smaller couplers than regular auxiliary and would they have enough flow rate to run two 2 1/2 X 8 cylinders? Do they both work together or are they separate? Thanks for any info.

mmsllc I think I found a shop that can make a new rod for me. What is your price and location?

I broke right tilt cylinder on 873. Does anyone know a good place to get replacement?
