Plans would be awsome! What is the size of the cylinders? Are you happy with the cylinder size? should you have went bigger? Thanks

Tell us what dealers you have near you. I would recoment that you buy something that you can have service help when problems come up. If you will be running the skidder hard I would stay away from the verical lift setups like the bobcat 773 or s185. look for the direct pivot point on the...

Thats odd that it is only in the up position. I will take it to the dealer and see if it has the option. I just thought it would be a nice feature for the auger.

This is actually two questions. I have a 2000 773 Turbo G There is a feature on the left instrument panel called "bucket positioning". I do not know if This was ordered when the machine was new. either way it doesn't work. Is this something that can be made to work fairly easy? I had the...

10gal thats chain case and hyd system and 10gal is about what i used to clean and fill both

Hummmmm. Synthetic Hydraulic oil...... never thought about doing that. Thats quite a bit more oil the whole hyd system and the chain case on my 773 is most likely more than 10 gallons. I have never did a whole flush but I wonder how the old dino hyd and syn. hyd fluid would mix?

buy an old 5.9ram or 7.3ford with the 6 speed manual. either motors with the manual are great pulling machines the 6.7 has yet to impress me. my friend with the 6.7auto is only getting 16hwy and 9 towing his 28' TT The 5.9 or 7.3 will do better than that

My service manual is a lot more than 200 pages for my 773 turbo. just an fyi Check with your dealer first. mine was serial number specific. they had to order it in. I'm not sure on the 825's

I checked my manual. it calls out the center lower front point. both points on the boom arms. and the rear hook locations on the chassis check your manual. it shoud say.

Synthetic is not a must. But it has proven itself to me that it is better. I run amsoil in all my car and trucks. Switched to amsoil in wife minivan at 75000. noticed a slight improvement in fuel milage. Switched to amsoil at 150,000 in my 2002 Ford 7.3L Powerstroke diesel. (rotella t 15-40 up...

To my knowledge the 7753 is similar to a 773 only difference I believe is that the 7753 was sold as a less optioned 773 basically. I think pumps, motors and chassis are the same. google bobcat 773 and find the site that is bobcat history and you can compare the basic stats of each loader. I have...

To my knowledge they are for hoses and not strong enough for transport chains. The boom does have 2 spots for hooks. on on each side. It is an indent in the boom just for a 5/16 or 3/8 chain hook. at least my 773T and S185 have this.

10/30 diesel oil? I have never seen that except in synthetic what brand oil do you use?

according to the previous owner the option of bucket positioning did work at one point last year. However since then it has stoped working. I guess I need to find out if this machine really has the option or not before I go any farther. Is there aserial number decoder anywhere I can use, or is...

Wow glad I found this site. Looks like a lot of good info in in here. Just bought a 2000 773 Turbo with 1680 hours for $8000 I think its a good buy? Where do I find shop service manuals for my machine? It looks like they use serial numbers for books? Mine is SN = 519012415 Where do I go from...
