    A look inside the Terramite plant

    It is interesting to see inside the factory. I guess they sold all remaining machines. Not a single machine left inside. It's possible a proxybid auctioneer will come in and sell everthing inside the building. I watched the promo video by the way. Do all T5C's make the whining like in the video?

    T6 Info wanted ?

    I didn't get the T6 pictured from Proxibid. For $4300, even if the cylinders needed new seals I think the buyer got a good deal. What I'd like to know is if the hour meter was broken or it really only had 200 hours.

    T6 Info wanted ?

    Are there different revisions of the T6? This T6 has dual FEL cylinders. It was auctioned and went for $4,300 by the way. What do you think of the price? https://www.proxibid.com/asp/LotDetail.asp?lid=60343002&utm_source=proxibid.com&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=saved_search

    Terramite vs Kubota U15

    Very cool. Did you also replace the hydraulic pump for the loader and backhoe? Do you have the model number of new Eaton pump you installed om the T9?

    Adding Lucas hydraulic booster and seal conditioner to a terramite T-5c hydraulics

    I'm not familiar with seal/o-ring folding pliers. I looked for a picture but couldn't find one. Can you show a picture?
