    case skid steer model 450

    before uncoupling the attachment do the following. Turn the machine off. Keep lap bar down. Turn switch to on but do not start. Release the park brake which should be lit on the console. Lastly rock the electric attachment switch back and forth/on and off. This will release the pressure. Do this...

    Case Skidsteer

    The cylinders on top of the loader arms mimic the desgin of the CASE backhoe. Nothing wrong with that machine. It has some of the fastest cycle times in the industry. The 90XT/450 is a great exacavating skid steer. That model weights around 9000 pounds and has 84 hp and 264 pounds of torque...

    Case 430 high altitude issues

    I have had the same issues when running between 9-10K feet with a 440. It turned out the fuel was leaned out too much. The temp. was minus 30-40 below zero. Unknowningly to me the diesel I was filling up in my tank in the back of my truck was straight 1. I thought it was blended 2. I then...

    CASE 70 XT oil leakage questions

    I had an 03 that I put 1500 hours on one and never had that problem. I had a hyd. filter come loose but that is not a CASE problem but rather a dealer problem. What other issues are you having with the machine specifically.

    opinion poll

    Case and LinkBelt are Sumitomo, but not in this class of machines. The CASE mini is a Kobleco as is the NH. Solid machines, they are not class leading according to the spec sheet but competent. I am on my second TK machine. I bought a TB53 in 04 and again in 07 this one was the TB153. I really...

    The new Cat CTL machines!

    Ron are spreading lies over here as well. The new CASE cab and the CAT cab are near identical in width. You will notice in the C series as well as the Series 3 that if your a bigger guy your legs are up against the control towers in both machines. I found myself pinning my legs against them in...

    Who says a Case 1845C has to be Case yellow??

    The machine will run better with its original "power tan" color. Painting a CASE skid steer Bobcat white is high treason, resulting in your CASE being mistaken for a Bobcat. The embarrassment may be to much to take. Good Luck.

    Looking to rent GR Series Grapple

    It shouldn't be hard to find a root grapple in WA. I would just be sure that the skid steer and Grapple compliment each other. Some of those root grapples are extremely light duty. Put one of those 600 pound root grapples on a large skid steer or large track loader and you'll turn the root...

    Quick Attach brand attachments

    I bought a "Saber tooth grapple bucket for my 95XT a month ago. I have about 30 hours on it tearing out trees. The bucket is very well built and nicely designed. They make heavier grapple buckets designed for high performance machines. If you used a light duty bucket and put it on a large track...

    Narrow cab

    The cabs are tight for elbow room. I don't mind it but I probably have gotten used to it. As far as plush goes I would agree that bobcat has a nice cab. The 400 series CASE machines are improved over the XT models but they are not any wider. It will be awhile before that is addressed.

    Case 75 xt controls

    That switch is used to either to control the turn signals (which I doubt you have) or it is for the aux. electric harness on the left loader arm.

    1845 & 1845C - differences ??????

    The 1845C made approx. 56 hp. and about 18 gpm on the low flow aux. hyd. and I believe 2500 psi. As far as quirks not much to speak of the pin brake system kinda sucks. Lifting the arm rest up releases the pin brake. This relys on cables, springs and cooperation from the machine. Sometimes when...

    Case skid steer - horrible groaning noise from pumps/motors

    You need to use the HTO additive from CASE. Although your problems may be bigger than that. I would either take it to the dealer and diagnose the problem or flush the entire system, change the filters and add the correct additive.
