I like the boomer line and own a boomer 45. when I purchased it, I found that the boomer had better comforts and nice to have's than the LS. Of all things, I noticed how heavy (robust) the steps and sway links were on the boomer over the LS. The LS branded unit just was to value engineered...
That is insane pricing. My NH dealer pricing I think is pretty competitive. They always price me new or to have it rebuilt. I have had 1 starter and 1 alternator rebuilt thru them and it was about $180 for each. It was generally half the cost of a new one.
I buy bulk fuel. 2400 gallons at a time. typically lasts 2 to 3 years before I need a refill. I try to time my purchase for tax spending and low points in the oil market (none election years). I have been doing this for 20 years and have not ever had any issues with fuel quality. I do run a...
I am a BIG fan of the super steer models. I currently own a boomer with it and had a 5050 with it. I keep everything greased up and have had no problems. The turning radius is unmatched by anything else i have tried. I ran a 15 foot cutter with the 5050 and it was a dream. The boomer has...
Only Idea I have is to check directly below the gauges for a rats nest. I helped trouble shoot my nephews workmaster 40 that was acting all kinds of weird. We pulled the gauge cluster and found a nest with several wires chewed through and several more skinned of the insulation.
I have owned a lot of equipment and nothing is easy enough to service. Have you ever serviced a skid steer, or excavator or a dozer with a 200 pound belly pan? Yes, some tractors that are large frame small HP machines are very roomy for filter access. When you buy a small frame 75 HP (with...
I have used Dow froth packs on several occasions with great success. I use the closed cell blue board in the big open areas and come back and fill the gaps and glue everything together with the froth pack. the blue board saves a good bit of cost when compared to straight spray foam. Ratchet...
Put some pressure on it see if it goes down, if that does not work check the following, as stated above check the adjuster valve, check that draft lever is all the way down and finally check the linkages from the draft and position levers.
A few years back I saw a simple neat setup to pull t-post with a loader. let me try to describe it. This contractor was removing silt fence posts and on the side of his load bucket he had a simple D ring welded on. it was free to move in welded saddle and he would maneuver to get the...
I have been in this situation. Stuck a hydraulic post hole digger in the ground and was yanking and doing things I shouldn't, to get it spinning and free. Anyways the auger motor was bolted to the side of the bucket and it put a lot of cantilever on the SSQA mount. It twisted bad enough...
totally worth it. You can dig deeper, as you can add extensions and still pull it out of the hole. you can also put additional down force on it for the stubborn holes that are not cutting well.
I always do both cylinders at the same time. Early on I would always just do the one leaking, after about the 6th time of the companion cylinder leaking within a month or two of the first repair, I learned that the fluid just blows out the weaker of the 2. Both cylinders need to be of equal...
