    How to Tell if Front Axle Bearing is Bad?

    If minimal leak and bearings ate not bad you might be better to just keep adding oil vs trying something to plug the leak.

    How to Tell if Front Axle Bearing is Bad?

    If bearings are bad you should feel some play when trying to rock it or wrestle with it. Depending on how bad could also feel rough when turning the wheel.

    Advice on Hydrostatic Transmission vs Gears

    The HST used in X320 is not in the same class or category as HST used in tractors. They are considered a sealed unit with no provisions for oil changes, may or may not have work port reliefs(might count on wheels spinning). The Tuff Torq K46 is known problem, K58 maybe similar but I am not sure.

    Loader GC2310 hydraulic issues...again!

    The question still is where do you have flow? If you remove excess flow line from priority flow control which is the supply for loader, backhoe, and 3 point is there any flow out that line? If yes can you install a flow control - needle valve on that line and see if flow stops if you try and...

    Anyone live near a windfarm?

    $4.27 might be there profit per acre this year with high input prices and low commodity prices.

    Thanks for that photo Dodge man I am surprised that base is that shallow. When 400 kva power line was put in 35 -40 years ago they were augering some of them over 50’ deep to a solid base but also only 5 or 6 foot in diameter. That base there looks like 50+ feet in diameter.

    Choosing a Control Valve for Rear Remotes

    If you blow into the P port where does the air exhaust at? I don’t smoke but this is an area where if you blow smoke into a port it makes it easier to see where it comes out. Then have to look for any identifying marks by those ports. That is concerning, not sure what type of spool control that...

    Gs I am not saying that NG isn’t safe. Just wonder why there has been discussions and push about making gas stoves illegal but then promoting NG as safe resource for generator plants. Seems like a huge contradiction to me. Granted stove top or oven does not exhaust outside like gen plant.

    Anyone live near a windfarm?

    There is a nuke plant around 11 - 12 miles south of my house that was put in service in 85 & 87. Com ed or constellation energy has been threatening to shut them down stating to expensive to operate. I disagree on natural gas since that drives up home heating prices and is another fossil fuel...

    Loader GC2310 hydraulic issues...again!

    If he is getting no flow to the loader valve or backhoe highly doubtful problem is either one of those valves. The OP needs to determine why there is no flow coming to the loader flow. Looking at schematic the priority flow control block is the only valve in that circuit but again not sure how...

    Anyone live near a windfarm?

    Might be different rules state to state but in Illinois and Iowa all of the towers have access road plus fair sized unplanted zone around each tower. My guesstimate of an acre was just that a guess. But if only half acre 500 towers is 250 acres gone.

    Anyone live near a windfarm?

    I agree on Mr NIMBY in all of us and believe there is a place for most power generation styles. I don’t believe closing coal plants is correct nor do I believe that wind and solar will totally replace coal. I try to analyze things on the basis of what is best for that area and the people in that...

    I don’t believe the X580 has adjustable air gap on the PTO clutch. I know my X540 does not.

    Anyone live near a windfarm?

    They may not take the whole field out of production like solar panels do but if each tower takes an acre that land is out of production. I have farmed around power poles going across a field and they are inconvenient especially with row crop like corn since you harvest the rows vs wheat field...

    Anyone live near a windfarm?

    Interesting comment made by a poster on being a proponent of renewable energy but not in my backyard. That seems to be an all to common issue where it is OK in someone else’s backyard and they suffer while I can feel good.
