    LX665 rolling when parked

    My LX665 creeps and rolls when parked on a slight incline unless the parking brake is set. Can this be ajusted or is does it have more wrong? It will creep motor off or on.

    Skidsteer rolling when parked

    New Holland LX665 slowly creeps and rolls when parked on slight inclines if park break is not set. Other machines I have owned or used did not due this. Is it possible this is just and ajustment or is there something wrong? I should have said that it does it motor off or on.

    New cutting edge on bucket

    The tooth bars are nice , but I recommend a second bucket in the interest of time, If you can purchase one just a little smaller than your smooth edge finish bucket so you can just scoop one with the other and get on the trailer and go. Also takes up less room on the trailer.

    How do you guys clean your machines?

    definately the hot water and powerwasher, however I like to clean the radiator and oil cooler with compressed air before the wash. I find that once that fine dust gets wet in the small fin areas it's like mud and later gets hard in there like concrete. don't under estimate the value of keeping...

If I unhook the hoe and try to re hook it in the same minute it will pressure lock and will not go until I...
