[QUOTE="vrenifossi, post: 130901, member: 24132"] Hi, while seraching the forum for a thread that could fit my problem I stepped over your comment and it may actually be related to my problem. Since I am new to this forum I want to shortly introduce myself. I am a biologist and originally from Gemany but I worked and lived for the last 20+ years in Chilean Patagonia. After I have lost my job as a researcher on a field station during pandemic I started a landscaping and arborist business. So I bought some machinery, among others a Taian DY1150 mini-loader (it's no skid steer, but I hope you will not kick me out because of this). This loader is basically a chinese copy of an Avant, Multione or bobcat loader, with some restrictions in quality and some minor design flaws in comparison to the competition. But I got it for a third of what a European or American machine would have costed me and that was all I could afford. It's not the best you can get on the market, but it does the job and I am starting to like it (for the price). I also bought attachments from China. Besides the corrosion problem, these attachments do the job almost as good as non-chinese brands would do, but for much less money (since I do not have the comparison at least I believe so) . Today I tried a flail mower for the first time on a property that has been overgrown by blackberry. The flailmower starts rotation for almost a minute until it suddenly makes a creeching sound and stops, as if it would be blocked. If I switch off the hydraulic flow to the attachment and try to start it again inmediately it would not. But if I switch it off and wait a minute I can start it again. And again it would run for almost a minute until it suddenly stops again. Same thing in forward and reverse...I am not stupid with machines, but I definitely have no mechanic background, very poor knowledge on hydraulics and I am learning by doing. But this time I am a puzzled and I do not want to try too often beacuse I do not want to damage nothing.... One thing is that this is the first attachment that I have that has a case drain hose and I have to admit that I am not sure which connector at my loader actually is the case drain connector (if it has one at all...). I have three connectors at my machine so I always supposed that one is the case drain. Since I had to install the couplers myself I installed same size couplers on all three outlets. The manual for this chinese machine is very poor and no mentioning of a case drain, so I could not figure out for sure which function has each of the outlets So now my questions: How could I find out if my machine has a case drain and if so which of the connectors actually is the case drain? What could be the problem with my flail mower? If you had a helpfull answer I would be very glad! Cheers, Fossi [/QUOTE]
