Thanks... That is a perfect and practical solution.

I can't find anything that relates to any emergency release mechanism. This machine has EH controls so all electro-hydraulic actuation. Looking at the drive motor assembly drawings I don't see any mechanical release. Access to get to them would be an issue even if there was a bolt (like an air...

This is a question regarding preparing for a hypothetical, yet eventual situation. I know that someday I will need to move my C238 in a disabled condition. I'm trying to figure out if there is a mechanical method to release the parking brake system to tow this machine if it ever becomes...

Thanks for the reply and educated insight... It is really good to know that the self level only functions in the rising direction. If it is only uni-directional then it isn't worth the investment. I used forks on mine a few times now and I find that keeping them level is the easy part. Seeing...

That is a great project and similar to one that I am designing... One of the concepts that I am incorporating is also 3 point hitch mounting points. I am starting with a 3 point quick attach adaptor I have had for a tractor and never used. I am going to weld this directly to a mounting plate. I...

That is likely where things will eventually lead for me... I figure even the snow tracks will likely need studs so if they don't work to satisfaction with the C tracks then snow tracks will be the next step. I would like to avoid changing tracks seasonally if at all possible. These machines are...

My track machine goes no where on ice and pushes very little on most snow. I am going to install some screw in carbide studs. Hopefully this will help. I assume that these will work in tires as well. My tracks will need about 150 per track. I intend to take them out in the spring. I have C style...

My recently purchased C238 does not have the self-level option and I am considering adding it. My questions are regarding how well the feature works. In other words it is a feature worth having? Like if using forks with varying amounts of weight (lighter or heavier loads) does it always keep the...

I'm assuming that this machine has EH controls. Does this machine have the self-leveling option? If so is this feature tuned on when the problem occurs? Self-level directs oil from the boom lift cyls. to the tilt cyls. If not this or it's turned off, maybe there is a miss wired or cross wired...

Thanks for the replies everyone... I picked up the NH C238 a week ago but have not had time to put it to work. I did however put it in the shop and give it a really thorough looking over. The machine is in really good shape and doesn't show any level of wear that it's hours would indicate that...

Hello all... After many years of operating all kinds of construction equipment and tractors I am just now joining the skidsteer realm. For many reasons I have just not liked the concept of them and have never really even operated one. I always had enough other things around that were more for a...
