Ok, going out to Buck Up 2 Cord of 8's. Which Saw would you grab? All having the same Bar and Chain?

Here's one you might not have watched

I did this. WPC Tongue & Grove, Batten Under. Found it at Auction for the Cheap. Approx $3.50/8' Board. Goes up quick, once the first run is layed. You could Batten over the Lap or remove and Wrap the Studs.

4 1/2" and 5" are one in the Same Starter, 5" just having a little more torque. If I recall correctly, 5610 and up were 5", down were 4 1/2" until the Shibaura's

Need to Plant that in Clumps, then Spark it up. A little "Controlled Burn" But the "Huggers" would disagree.

Chainsw Carb is way different than a Graxity Fed Carb. No Diaphrams, No Check Flaps, Bo Impulse. Just Brass Jets, Seat, Steel Needle and Plastic Float. The original 1600hr China Carb, doesn't have any Throttle Plate play, just a leaky Needle and Seat. Could reuse all the Jets and Body if needed...

The first Chinese Carb made 1600hrs, I think it will be fine.

Just turned 1647hrs on my 1200/1500w Champion. The 1 Carbon Build up issue, now the Needle and Seat are leaking. New Carb time for $26 on Amazon. My 3750 Champion, doesn't get many hrs now that I am 90% Solar, but it fired right up after winter storage. Use it for Power Tools only.

I recall painting my Bro I Law's 1970 Chevrolet C10 with 8N Ford Red Enamel. Forget the pricing (35 years ago) but working at the Ford New Holland Dealership, we only paid 10% over cost. Automotive Paint went through the roof because of the Environment. Waterborn was a Big Jump in pricing.

Safe after 8:00pm, past Bed Time and Matlock Reruns.

Chinese Trucks would be considered 1/4 ton Trucks here, Ranger, Canyon, Taco. 1/2 ton Trucks are a Nominal Rating, most will have a Payload of 1400-1600lbs/600-700 kgs. Tucks are very handy for many things, we here in North America ae spoiled though on Fuel Prices, and Drive heavier Trucs than...

That is true, Ski Doo NEO Series, has come out as New Smaller Less Pricey way to hit the Snow, but they have just made the Machines the Size they once were. Not everyone needs 144/154" Tracks with 2" Paddles to go Ice Fishing or check Fence Lines. The Elan was once Ski Doo's biggest seller, and...

I bought a set of Forks a couple of weeks ago for the Stand On, thought they were Spreader, but the Hydraulics just move them side to side. But I think they will still come in handy often

We usually keep 2, 1 Well Trained, 2-4 year old and then a Puppy. They do show the young uns the ropes. Water Dogs, because of the Cabin Time. Springer, Labs, Pound and Rescue. Rescue's take a lot of time, because Bad behaviour is already established, but can turn into a Great Companions...

Another one before the Tariffs hit the Auction

My Brother use to swing an 064, when I was running an 034. you know what? I would grab the 034 for bucking up the 2-3 Cord, Ash/Birch 8' piles. Not nearly as fast, but a whole lot lighter. Traded the 034 for the 026, and haven't looked back, but I don't put up nearly as much wood anymore...

Way back, I twisted wrenches at a Farm Machinery Dealership that sold Stihl and Husky saws both. Back in the 266 038 days. All the Loggers still cut by Hand and ran Huskys because they had a pile of Parts Saws, but Yes, I would have to say that Stihl had a better saw. Plastic Tank and Rubber...

The fact that one never seen Intake Cloaking on say a Ford 3000 Massey 135 Diesel, points to PCV/EGR (They had none) as the Culprit, not Direct Injection or Valve Timing (Exhaust Escaping on Intake Stroke) The Cylinder is under Vacuum when the Intake Valve is Open. Yes it is possible that some...

Mini +'s 360 degrees swing to dump dirt fit in tight places doesn't tie up your Loader Maneuverability Mini draw backs long travel times

You explained it Perfectly, why did you ask Him to? Yes, there is very little Meat at the End of the Day, but 1800 Acres is worth ??? Today? Even Renting/Acre Depending on Area, can be Lucrative.

[Yes, Cloaking is and issue from Exhaust Gas Recircalation, but it isn't limited to Gasoline Engines. Diesels also Recirculate Exhaust Gasses. However, Newer DI Gas Engines have combated this with Dual Injection, washing the Intake Port. Diesels have yet to accomplish this. But most of the...

Actually, they are closer than you think, now that Direct Injection is Widely Used in Spark Ignition Gasoline Engines. You are correct about Multiple Injection Cycles though making the Diesel Compression Ignition Engine quieter. So main difference is Spark vs Compression Ignition, and the...

The only issue I have had in all of my V Twins, (but the Traner45 Gravity Fuel) 739cc Rato and 999cc ? is the Vacuum Fuel Lift Pumps, a $15 Electric Low Pressure Fuel Pump fixes that issue. And the Torch (brand) Spark Plugs.

Isuzu 4fa1 engine manual Google is your Friend...

Not the VHF ones used here, I have both NOAA and Canadian Weather, 5,6,and 7 Haul Channels. I no longer have Tower Access, because the Cell Booster can receive 4G (newer ones are 5G capable) 170.3100 Haul 5 171.0000 Haul 6 165.1800 Haul 7 You need them to Hunt on Logging roads if you don't...

There are still Channels available on VHF that are not Marine Band. Logging Roads here use VHF (FM) Radios as do Police and Road Maintenance Crews. There are even Repeater Towers with Phone Access (if one pays for use) with a Keypad Mike. Even UHF Channels, but around here VHF is used.

So you say you are Remote with Spotty Cell Service, so you are after Communications with Someone or Somebody in particular? CB, you have to reach someone, and if nobody else has one in a 20 mile area, you are out of luck on Communications. Just like GMRS, someone has the be on that Channel at...

I figured that one out after getting the MP46 Not only was it Too Big for my Trailer, It wouldn't be able to clear underbrush without smashing window out, and it tore up the Lawn/Driveway just moving it.

-30F and down to (-45 Windchill) for the 4th day here. Vehicles have been starting, but lumpy and sluggish trying to get moving. But all in all, it's been a Awesome Winter, 4 Snowfall Events maybe 8"s total, but the first 4"s melted in the X Mas Thaw.

About 1 hour should do it

Hydaulic Pump is the Key. It is not outright HP of the engine, it is what the Hydraulic Pump can produce at "X"RPM, and what power it takes to turn that pump at that speed. Oil Viscosity would also come into play. Kind of why the mini Skid Steers with 12.5hp and 23hp Engines perform very simularly

Same Place 2 Winters ago. After pulling the Lead Truck out of this hole, where he spent the night.

I just follow my Garmin Chart Plotter.

Green Buoy AA9 is right in the Picture

We are cold enough here that the Snow doesn't really melt until March, but accumulations aren't like the old days. I have 1 year recorded at the Cabin of 147"s overall and total of 5' on the ground. Lake travel was almost 0, even Snowmobiles were having troubles. This is about the Limit of Lake...

Sort of wanted to see what 80"s of Snow at once was like, maybe the Metric System is still messing with my head but I see 12-14" (maybe) on the ground plus Banks. The verdict is still out, if a Forward or Backward Blower for me, it seems you are still turned around most of the time with that...

My Nemesis was a 340 Sno Twister at Radar Runs After graduating from a 1980 3500 Citation, to a 1979 300 Enticer, I wound up Twisting Wrenches at a Doo Dealership, bought a 1981 7500 Blizzard in a box. Found a Doner 1980 354 Rotax, nicely Craved and Polished (Bosch Ign) and started working on...

nd it is January, not much Ground soft enough to dig

Yes Good Luck on an actual Manual, but generic ones are available, they are all very vague if you do get one with your actual Machine's # on it. and yes the Digger looks Rippa Like https://bestpriceme.me/manuals

I suspect, it was a Sand Pile, for the Horse Drawn Winter Log Slieghs. It was at the bottom of a Hill. The Island was logged Many Years Ago, (twice) judging by the Stumps.

Last Summer, I was clearing some bush at my Cabin on an Island. I came across a Mound, Round about 6' in Diameter, about 3' high. Covered in Leaves, needles and such. Thinking it was a Rock, and how will I ever move this? I scraped the top and it was Soft, Sifted, Blonde, Beach Sand. No...

You mention "Day Time Running Lights" Here in Canada they have been Mandatory since 1990. Saved me Plenty of times However, up until 2013 or so, if We Exported one into the USA, we had to Disable the "Day Time Running Lights", in order to Clear US DOT Rules. Stupid Huh? We had to Unplug them or...

Yes, everyone talks about "Low Resale" but something that you have so little invested in, why not just keep it? I am sure my Kids will use it occasionally when I am gone, or even if I sell the Cabin, the next buyer would see some value in it. I have sold 3 New Auction Pieces, that have...

I just have a Cooler with a 12v On Demand pump and 12v Battery in it, a 100W Solar Panel and Charge Controller (optional at 100w). Mind you, I don't have the Lift that you would require, unless you ran the Pump down the Pipe. They make Deep Well Solar Pumps though

What I don't get with the whole BEV or PHEV thing is "Why not a 9000 or so watt, Gas/Diesel Generator on board charging the batteries Continuously?" Even after you shut off and get out of the vehicle, until Batteries reach 100%. You would still make use of Regenerative Braking, Have a Heat...

Not sure why the need for a New Thread but I wwilll assist in the "Gas Boil" issue Take the EPA Guts out of the Gas Cap, Gas Boiling will be a thing of the past. There isn't any Brakes per say, your Dozer Blade becomes your best friend working on a Slope. Cooler would be awesome addition, but...

The MP46 came in around 3000lbs (estimate) Carried it on the pictured 3500lb Single Axle, but not far. I sold that one for $17,000 CDN (maybe $12,000 US) with 5 hours of "Testing Time"

I have an Aluminum Bodied 2019 and a Steel Bodied 2013 F150. 2011-2013 F150's were prone to Cab Corner/Rocker Panel rusting out and mine has started, but has been sprayed with FF a lot. The 2019 I don't even think twice about Sloppy Salted Roads. The 2013 I spray down at the Car Wash after any...

Have a FF12, 145 hrs, NO Cab! Hotter than the Sun (imagine) It has done alot of work at the Cabin, Trenching, Casings, Stumps, but yes Slow as a Turtle moving. Had a MP46 2.5T Big Cab. Way more power but tore up any yard I drove it over. Need a Tandem Axle trailer to move. Motor wasn't a RATO...

Had it Shipped. It is Town as of Today

You would invest Maybe $5000 into a Mini Chinese Hoe, Why worry about Resale? Besides, once you have one, you won't sell it. For Investment and ease of up keep, you will have it for life of smaller jobs here and there.

SF Bay area, does it even sell #1 Diesel in that area? Back when I worked at a Ford New Holland Dealer, twisting wrenches, we would always recieve a New Holland Shippment, in January, usually the coldest day in January. We would get a heads up 3-5 hours before they would get there, so we could...

On the contrary Outboards are Water Cooled and run cooler than Air Cooled Motorcycle Engines. The 2 Stroke Oils have to burn off at a cooler temp/hotter temp. Ash Content is also different, and most Marine 2 Stroke Oils are Biodegradable. For obvious reasons...

Make sure #16 moves freely, make sure the Throw Out Bearing moves freely

Sounds like the Clutch is Stuck, Slipping.

Seattle, Minneapolis and Toledo are all a couple of hours South of Canada, all have very different weather conditions. As for Block Heaters. 0F is a good place to start on a Diesel, Size Wattage, Temp, and Wind will affect How Long, but 1 hour will suffice, add 1/2 hour for every 5 degrees...

Heat. Nothing more. Take the Rear Cover off. Wrap the Muffler with Exhaust Tape, and work away. My FF12 was prone to Walking Motors becoming weak as the first sign of Overheated Oil. 20 made it even thinner than 46, or what ever was really in there when it was new.

I replaced my 034 with an 026 Many Years ago, and still use it today. Smaller but Pro, it isn't a whole lot slower than the 034 was but much lighter. Come replacement time it would be a 261

I just used 75w90 Gear Oil in the Transmission and Diffs. No Number for the Oil Filter but a Baldwin BT223 for a Twin Briggs looks similar

5 hrs with it Yesterday. 1/2 throttle is plenty. about 2 Liters/hr 10 for the day (less than 3 gallons) Rotate is Fast and take some getting used to. But weak for skimming/dragging the bucket. Grease Tension Check Valve leaking, Left Track kept coming off. Pumped lots of grease into it, the...

No, it sure doesn't, But no use burying it yet. Runs great, Oil Changed every 100hrs, Foam Air Filter needed cleaning often with that Oil Blow By. Actually have an Older One without an Hour Meter, did the same tune up, and it lives again. Surprised me that the older 80cc engine was actually a...

My little $299 Champion 1500W quit at night a couple of weeks ago. Funny, because I had just changed the oil and it barely used any before. I went out and Filled the Oil thinking it was Low, nothing. Switched over to the 4500w and finished the movie, shut it of and went to bed. Next day, I...

Good Job, the BS 12 will pay for your Trip. I kind of wish I would have opt'd for the Open Station 1.8 ton Diesel, rather than the 2.5T Gas MP46. But up here, the Diesel's bring More Money than the Heavier Gas. It would just be lighter to transport and less Thinking involved about Glass...

This is the Old Days, but a Turbo Tractors often are Under Rated on a Dyno. I recall Clocking 6610's right at 78hp (Rated) Dyno'd and 7710's would do 91-93 PTO Dyno'd (Rated @86hp) The same 4.4L 4 Cylinder, Naturally Asp/Turbo. @ $1500 would you really want to go through the next 20 years or...

If anything happened to my 13.5hp Brigs, I think I would settle for a 10-12hp Oil Burning Thumper.

That is a Good Deal. I followed Today's Sale, only 2, MP46 went through out of 190 Minis. They fetched $11K CDN each. Further to travel for Me, even though it is My Province. I traveled in 3 Provinces to pick up Mine. Goofy here in Canada, Maybe Population Density, Maybe Rural vs Urban. But...

The Gas Cap's Charcoal Vent causes the Gas to boil in the Heat. The Cap can come apart and remove the Charcoal capsule, then snap it back together. Still Heat but no Boil

I had it off the Trailer last night, cleaned the glass. Still haven't dug anything yet. Liking the Pilot Controls, Swing Boom will take some learning. A manual for the Cluster would be awesome. The Fuel level Warning was going off and reading 0-15%, Alarm going off, so I jhit too many Program...

Your Numbers leave out 1 Important Fact. GCWR. (Gross Combination Weight Rating) Your 2002 1500WT V6 Be it a 4x4 Automatic (highest Tow Rating) 3.73 Ratio, has a 5300lb Tow Rating. Manual or 2wd is Lower...

Awaiting an Ignition Switch due to arrive today. So still waiting. Not sure if I will keep it or not, "Bigger" isn't always better at the Cabin where I have the most use for it. However the Swing Boom, and Pilot Controls, might make up for the Size. I did manage another 20 hours on the FF12...

Since running mine with the Rear Cover Removed, I have not had any Over Heating. Muffler wrapped in Heat Tape

Update!, Police have found 1 set of Keys, My Dad's Zippo (sentimental value) and Daughter's Truck Keys! Just need a New Ignition Key and Window now!

Breaking was a little overboard. I think I can slide the window open

It happened at the Boat Launch (rural Crown Land) The same Launch I have used for 30 years, first episode of this. The motor doesn't need to rev that high, without a Tach, my guess is 2000-2300RPM, so Awesome that way, but I have yet to work it. Full extension of the Stick Cylinder will stall...

Yes, I have it Home. Pilot Controls are very "Light" but very smooth, I will have to get use to them. The machine is Big compared to my 1.2T FF Industry. Very simple layout. had to adjust the Walking Levers to make them Even. Here is the Corker. So I got back Tuesday, Slept, Worked on it...

Yes, I have seen them, 739cc anyways. Rated @23HP. This latest machine's tag states 25hp but no Brand Name on the Tag. Guess I will find out in 3 Sleeps, 1453km each way. I am only worried about my U Haul trailer being there ready

Rato top out at 999cc https://www.rato-europe.com/engines/ Both my SDLOOL380 and my Traner TR45 had the 739cc Versions

I am not sure of the Brand of the Knock Off yet, my Stand On and Mini Wheel loader had the 739cc Rato. I hope that 1 pump is dedicated to Travel Motors, if not that is my first task

I have 1 in my Stand On, with the Stacked Pump also. I don't think they need 25hp, but maybe. I can always investigate more flow to match HP. 13.5hp Briggs is better on fuel

Bicycle Handle and a strap, It's not the Motor Weight as much as the motor Torque pulling the motor away from your body (Right Handed). Try grabbing the D Handle at about 10:00 rather than 12:00 to offset some of it's torque.

I do recall Hydro having a 242 also, and 15,000+rpm Crazy. The Shop's Owner's Son PDI'd that one But I do remember him grabbing my Tach and asking if it went to 15Grand.

I have been hitting them pretty regularly. 2 different Auction Sites with somewhat different items. What I can say is Prices Differ by Region, Basically comparing New Chinese Mini's (Skids/Excav/Fork Lifts/) and such. There are 1000's of them going through the Sales and the Sale Prices vary. I...

I can pick it up myself, 14 hours each way, so 2- 2 1/2 days. V Twin Gas, Honda Knock Off not exactly sure the HP but I am guessing 25ish. No AC or Heat, but I imagine Heat won't be an issue. Big Hydraulic Cooler, Stacked Pumps, Ducted Air Cooling Any Ideas on the Canister coming from the...

Thanks 2.5 M Tons. Yes, kinda looking forward to Pilot Controls, extra pump, and Swing Boom upgrades. I just wish that the Auctions Sales were closer

Well I guess I did it again, Anyone know the Origins of Machpro Branded Chinese Hoes?

I have a 1.2T Chinese Mini, 102hrs, no real issues, other than Heat. Wrap the exhaust and remove the Back Cover, everything has been good since. It is not a Bobcat by any means, however, the $40K savings, is just fine in my Bank Account

My last 3, "New" purchases required 0 Warranty Work. So close to the Dealer wasn't an issue. I have not looked at Bobcat, but I know the local Dealer, he's honest and recommends them. Take that with a Grain of Salt. From what I have read, Emission Issues plague all of them over 25hp. DEF/DPF...

Quite Simply. Equipment is Equipment. JD, Bobcat, Cat. Motor,Hydraulics,Stick,Boom etc. Would I like a Dealer 5 minutes away? Certainly (Depending on the Dealer) How much would I pay for that Privilege? Machine vs Machine all being equal, 3-5% for the Dealer (Helpful Dealer) 5 minutes away...

Awesome review! Glad you are Happy so far. My Cup Holder sticks down in the Engine Compartment, Good for Coffee, not good for Cold Beverages! I spiral Sliced some old Garden Hose and guarded my Stick Hoses with that. Where they loop from the Boom. They seem to be the most exposed on my...

I recall setting up Husky 444's just before I moved on in Jobs 1989, Tuning them to 12500, and I thought that was Nuts back then. Hydro were the only takers of the Saw, but we never seen one come back. By that time, the local Loggers were all 266XP or 034/064 saws. They thought the 444 was too...

Congrats Scutty, Nice looking Machine

90 hours on my 1.2 Ton JF12. 85 of those hours dealing with a Clay Soup Hole and Draining it. When I say Soup Hole, I mean you can Hand Bury a 12' Pipe Pole into it, so Floatation is a Concern. I Cordaroy a trail with 8' 2x6's, 4 under the tracks will hold the machine up in all but the soupest...

Well, Just sold the Traner45, so off to the Next Adventure. I did acquire some knowledge, so any question I would be happy to "Try to" answer

Good Old Canadian Robertson vs US Phillips Battle. Being Canadian, #2 Robertson all the way until #12x4" Screw, then Torx for bigger or into Hard Wood

Ok, that makes sense that it goes right to the Transfer ports, Piston Timed, but lower, not sure how it would get timed, or what it would do that a normal bigger bored Carb wouldn't do.

Thanks, I was a Saw Tech, but yes before the EPA got involved. Just trying to figure out "Where the Air Enters?" How would it Scavenge Fuel? Wouldn't a Tuned Pipe d a Better Job? I guess, We have a BR600 Blower at work 4 MIX that runs mixed fuel, it is still running after 12 winters of Blowing...

Thanks

Ok, I have to Ask, "Why the Dual Throttle Bodies?" or 1 TR and 1 Carb? Wouldn't a bigger Carb offer a straighter opening? Does the secondary lead to the Transfer Ports or something strange like that?

I just used 80W Gear Oil in the Diffs and Transmission.

What Brass Tube?

I do have a space between the Throw Out Bearing and Fingers

I received a Tool Envelope, Grease Gun that you can't get cartridges for, a couple of wrenches and a bag of Grease Nipples. I honestly think the Clutch is the weak spot, that and it is geared WAY too High. It just has fingers and a Throw Out Bearing, if the Through Out Bearing isn't riding the...

The Fittings were in the Tool Kit. No issues there, just need to install them. Added R Clips instead of Cotter Pins in all the Pins. I recommend removing the Floor Pan, and Looming all the Hoses under there, some very tight/close hoses at the Articulating Section. They will rub through...

Good Eye, But I like the B&S in the FF-15. Is the Track Tension on the Diggit EM15 a Grease type or Bolt?

Congrats SignScape! It's a neat Machine. Has some benefits over my Stand On, but also some draw backs. Check all fluid levels. My Diffs and Transmission didn't have any. The Valve Covers need to be swapped sides so you can add engine oil. Change it too quickly, it is oil but not engine oil.

They look to be the same as FF15's that are running through the auctions here also

And this was a hole, that a Buddy spent the night in

The Sled isn't mine, but I plowed the road the day before

!5-20K for a New 1.7T Chinese means he is getting some attachments also, All relevant. Expect to pay less than 1/2 for a New Chinese vs a New Name Brand, Attachments are even a bigger savings.

I like the Diggit product, I would like to try the Pilot Joysticks, but so used to leaning forward now. I used a Tach/Hour Meter on my units. Not that RPM is that important but nice to know, easy to install.

As a Chinese Mini Owner, I can spot 1 flaw in your calculations That $15-20K will become $75-80K in a Name Brand Unit. 2 footittes we call it in the Boating World. I am not saying that the Chinese Minis are anything close to the Name Brands in quality, but they dig the same holes, and if you...

Unfortunately, the Ford Shibaura Line wasn't as popular as say the N Series, so Reproduction Options might not happen, but any Self Respecting Mechanic can and has Manufactured most things related to keeping them operating. But rather than adding Ford/Newholland to the loop, look for Shibaura...

Way Back when Ford 4610s were New, we sold one to a Gentleman Farmer. He used it Lightly, came back @ 25 hrs, smoke on start up and black oil dripping down the block from the exhaust manifold. I ran it on the Dyno for 1/2 hour, to break it in more. Sent it home without oil running down the...

I am not sure if this is the correct Forum but it is Chinese Engine Question. 739cc Rato V Twin, Honda Copy, same as Power Ease PN R740D-8, and many other names like Predator. Many of these Mini Chinese Machines are coming with the 23hp V Twin Engines, some with 420cc RATO 13.5hp Briggs...

Front to Back is correct. The Water Pump Bearing is good? Not sloppy, and the Belt forcing the Fan down and towards the Alternator? Something must be contacting the Fan, and I don't think the Rad is strong enough to survive 2 Fans. Yes the Rad mounts to the Frame, the Frame mounts to the...

Wow, your Cushion Valve might be the exact thing I am needing for the Steering Circuit on my Traner WL. Hard stop turning stops the engine.

Mini Fridges use almost as much power as Big Fridges so be careful. CCA isn't as important as Ah on your Battery Bank. Refrigeration is the point where most Small Solar Systems become Mid Size Systems. I have tried many ways to make this same jump. My System. 550W Array 40A PWM Controller...

$5250 CDN $3800US so yes, I will give it a try, cheap I guess. I little better lift than the Stand On Skid, Clearance, and easier to ride

Anyone have any info? Good/Bad, Originating Manufacture. Pin Head is Threaded, is it Bored for Grease Fitting? Any Mods needed?

Ok guys, anyone see a Traner TR45 in person yet? I guess I did it again. The same RATO 739cc Engine, Small Diffs, Belt Drive Transfer Case and Hyd. Pump. It looks like Shandong Nuote Machinery, but I have looked closely yet. If you have seen one, I am hoping that the Threaded Hole in the...

I would Love me one of these! I have one of these and it has been Indestructible.

Loved my 034, would put it up against my Brother's 064 at the time. The 064 would out cut it by a bit, but I would last longer than my Brother wielding the Heavier Saw. The Crank Bearing finally turned in the Case. Pin Punched the Case, Green Loc Tite, New Seals and traded it on a 026, which I...

Minty Ford 4610 II Low Hours, Shuttle Shift.

I thought you were just looking for Slack in the Swing. Sorry I didn't follow a Break.

Are you looking for an issue that isn't really there? You have a 4' fulcrum on a 3" Gear turned by a 2' diam. Gear. Of course there will be some play/backlash. When you are using the machine, Swing, does it travel 5-10 degrees after you let off the control? Spring back 5 degrees?

I disagree, I believe the 1 Ton Units have more "Any Hydraulic Store repair Part" will work, than the 2-3 ton Units. But time will tell. Princess Auto will be my best friend for some time. The Booms are Over Built, the Swing Motors are accessible, Pump is Off Shelf, Motor is a basic Briggs, or...

yes

Right about the marked area

There is a 360 sq/mile "Pond" 125' from the flow, no real need for another Pond. No need for permits either The flow would hit the Lake about 40' to the right of the dock

Loctite won't do anything for your Key, but it would Lock the Gear on the Shaft. However, are you sure the Swing isn't in the Motor itself? The Motor doesn't "Lock" when not Pressured, it is free to move with sufficient force.

Yes, the water has to be warm enough to come out of the Ground unfrozen, in fact the Neighbours former 4' diameter Casing, Ice Cold Water could be had in it all winter 2-3' below Ground Level, Lift the Lid, Water on tap. But as mentioned, His Flow was 10-15' from Shore, so the Ice Jam was...

Yes below Frost Level to not freeze, however this will need an an Above Ground Exit so that will freeze anyway. Blocking any flow

Yes, I would love to Geotex it, maybe 150', but the Frost goes down over 3' here, so it would just Back Up again, even if it is at the Drain site out in the open. I think an Open Ditch, 90 degrees from the trench already there, right where the Tree is Lying in the forth picture. More work for...

Definitely Frost Related when coming out, it is just wet and spongy during Summer Months. Makes one wonder, if the "Flow" is always there, Frost just pushes it up at the easiest point. "But the Level" or I guess Pressure is at least enough to overcome the Ice Jamming by a foot or more, where...

So I did some Ditching last Summer at the Cabin, we have always had some Water Issues, including a Soup Hole that never dried up, even during Drought Times. I sank a Cistern and ran a line to the beach, then dug a trench down the Hill behind the Cabin, scammed some Gravel Fill, and thought Run...

Video right here

I helped dig a Whole Basement under my Sister's House. I am done shoveling! Then once we got off of Digging on our Bellies, Standing up, through a 1' layer of Clay, we got to Mix and Shovel Cement into 2, 8' Forms/Night

I also like the Idea of Pin with Lynch Pins, for the Thumb!

AW32 is a very Light Hydraulic Oil especially @ 150F. Also a Cooler might be required for anything over around 140F

I think I am going to Raid our Wheel Weight Bucket. Every Mount and Balance done at the shop requires removal of the old weights. I just have to figure out the Melting Pot. I plan on a Sand Mold, being that the Cabin has a Beach.

A Big A+ to WSPoweronline, Very fast Shipping even to Canada, reasonable pricing, and many available Parts. Camarata is working his Buddy's Hoe pretty good

I have bought a few pieces from them. Easy, straight forward, once you have set up a Line of Credit. Business Line of Credit. Watch out for any "This Item is Shippable" Shipping is about 2-3 times the actual Cost of Shipping

I run a Garden Cart, even made a Lift Rope so other than the End Gate removal, I don't even have to get off the machine. You do have to watch not to Overload the Cart though, I have had 1 Sidewall Blowout.

Oils have changed over the years also. So a Lawn Mower, Air Cooler, Hot Running, Small Engine, I would run a little Heavier than 50:1, maybe 40:1 or so. But Air Cooled Oil, not Outboard Oil that burns off at lower temps

Yes, keep both, But I was twisting Ford Wrenches during the 1100-2100 and change over to the 1210-2110 era. The XX10 series were just improvement over the 1XXX series Shibaura built tractors in 1983. Sheet Metal changes mostly, and the Syncro'd Shuttle Shift tranny availability. If I had to...

A Canadian Trick. But we used Cardboard and Used motor oil, placed under the oil pan. Less chances of any oil leaks catching fire. This was in -35F temps at the Cabin that didn't have electricity. Longer stays, we would bring the Battery and sometimes drain the engine oil and leave it in the...

Do you mean Minis? Yes, they are showing up at Auctions all over, Many 1 Ton Chinese and a handful of 2-3.5 Ton Minis, all with China Origins.

Never had a Dog eat Rocks, but I have had them Catch Rocks, Fire Bricks. Had to be hard on the teeth. Had 1 Lab that would drive down 5-6', bring up the Same Rock you tossed into the water.

My 739cc is very similar to a Vanguard not sure if it is sleeved or not though. I only have 4 hours on it but great so far. It was shipped with heavy oil I believe, anything around Freezing Point, it won't crank over without a Booster Pack. Heavy Oil, No Hydraulic disconnect, any a low CCA battery

Looking at Lots of Auction Photos, The B&S don't have Orange Labeling, Tin Exhaust Shields with "HOT" stamped into it,. I think that the "R" in AGT QS12R/QH12R stands for RATO. H15's are starting to show Knock Offs It's not a Problem, hec even B&S isn't B&S anymore. My Mini Skid has a RATO a...

Fires have been caused by "Incorrect Extension Cords" being used from the Home/Garage-the Vehicle. Make sure to use a Good Quality 12AWG grounded Extension Cord. The Block Heater it's self will be fine if the area is clean

A Professional who runs an Oil Sands Hoe, jumped on mine (FF12 FF Industrial) this Summer and said Yes it's Cat Controls (SAE) Exactly what is used out there.

A 2023 Agrotek QH12 does not have a Hydraulic Cooler, but does have the Return Filter. It is the exact same Unit as my 2022 FF Industrial FF12. I just resold one. The only change was the addition of an exhaust tube which was the first thing I added to my FF12. The XR 2100 B&S has a 9 amp...

This is what happens when the toilet is flushed.

Full Container Shipping savings and Purchase Savings, is the reasoning behind all of the Auction Units that we are seeing. Now, weather they are making any money doing it and selling them for $3000 is left to the imagination, but with the High Cubes going for $10k+ having them full of adds...

157 of them selling in R Bro's Sale, MINNEAPOLIS/Kanas City today/tomorrow. If anyone wants deals on Attachments, they are going Cheap Some Augers that No one have Bid On yet. I wonder if I could talk the Misses into a 10 hr drive on Boxing Day?

I bolted a Tongue Hitch to the top plate of my Blade and yes, it does hit the Counter Weight if the Blade is fully lifted.

Just Colder here I guess, like -15-20F temps at the time

Yep, the Regulator doesn't like 12v. But you might be able to open it and clean up the contacts.

I had to drag a SxS on Tracks odd the Lake last year. Deep Snow to the Fishing Hole, then it Froze Up. Had my Nephew tow it to the Ice Road with his Ski Doo Expedition then towed it with the Plow Truck. They look very useful, but not Foolproof

My Stand On has a 23hp RATO V twin that shares a lot of features with a B&S Vanguard. RATO Also builds a 420cc Single that other than the Recoil, looks a lot like the B&S XR. Could be where B&S Tooling wound up. Along with their EPA Compliance Stickers. Many of the Harbor Freight motors are...

No, just 2022 model, none of them had actual Serial #'s, Those started showing up on 2023 Models, on little Tags that the Importer stuck on. In fact, the Tag on the 2023 QH12 I bought, fell off of the Seat Back the day I got it home. Like I have mentioned, the QH12 (Serial # Tag) is an Exact...

Couldn't build one for $4000.00 The B&S alone would run you $1000.00

The 422XXXXX VIN# is taken from the Briggs and Stratton, the other VIN# is given by AGT

I think that it is true, a 1 Ton Mini, might only do 1/4 of a 2 Ton Brand Name Mini would do. But I do know that in 65hrs of use, my 1 Ton Mini did what it would have taken 3 Summers of weekends to do with a Shovel. I never expected it to be a Tak/Cat at the price paid. After 65 hrs of...

Market is getting Saturated, but also the Time of the Year. I was thinking that when I was bringing the QH12 back from Auction Halloween, I paid exactly 1/2 of what the person paid for my JF12 last March, same Auction Company, same Machine, Same color even, just a different name Stickered on and...

Nice!, It's coming Back from the Dead.

I get the whole This VS This But I also get what it takes to keep them both working

I am not sure why you are following this thread then? But I guess we will have to wait for someone that has both to Pipe In,

Ok, a Cab'd 2017 Tak TB260, just sold here in Canada @ Auction for $46000 CDN, you are saying you can find the locally for $15-20K US? There also was a CFG STE35SR New @ the same Sale, sold for $35000CDN. So you would buy the 6 year old, 2000hr Takeuchi before the New Chinese Knock Off, for...

Pam Cooking Spray.

Sensitive Electronics such as??? Older Generators such as??? I run Champion Generators at my Cabin. Before going Solar/Gen I ran a larger 4000W which did actually fry a couple of VCR Players, but only on Shut Down. If I unhooked the Power before shut down, all was fine. Then after Solar/Gen...

What is the Oil Temp when it won't move? Does it happen after a Longer Travel Time or Blade Work? I can tell when mine is getting Hot by it's sluggish performance. Got better after I Wrapped the Exhaust, and removed the Rear Cover to let the Heat escape.

Has anyone figured out the "Load Rating"? So an FF 12, (like I have Unlabeled) Is rated at 860KG, while a Toft 12 is rated @ 1100KG, DLK12 @ 100KG and a QH 12 @ 830KG., They are all the Same Machines! Also, has anyone indulged in a Cab'd Version? The Open Station are Hot enough, I can't...

When they "Shoe Horned the engine in at an Angle, they also left out the Hydraulic External Oil Filter, Both the QH12 and FF12, have the Floor Mounted Oil Reservoir and Oil Filter installed with a Aligned Engine/Pump/Lovejoy Coupler.

Less than that after exchange.

I Did last month. A QH12 And a SL380 Mini Skid Steer. Long way away from Home, but that is not the Auction's Fault. The last Sale, last week, prices held pretty much at what I paid for the Hoe, the Skid prices dropped $500 from what I paid. But those Auction Prices are legit, Price Shown, + 5%...

The QH12 Agro TK I purchased at the same sale as my SDLooL 380 Mini Skid, Does have a Hydraulic Filter, but no Cooler or Wheel Brakes. It is an Exact Copy of my FF Industrial FF12 I purchased last spring. I am still trying to figure out the Origin Company, but I believe Yancheng Cross i the...

I could see that happening with a Piston Pump, but the Gear type Pumps that we have, Starvation would be better than What Ever going through the Pump. No 43 years of experience but 9 Years in Farm Machinery and -35F temps

I watched a New Unit go through an Auction here in Canada for 1/5th it's value. Scrolling through the pictures, a Hole had been drilled through the Block. Not sure if it came from India, but it didn't meet EPA Emissions and was Confiscated @ Customs and sold for Parts. I do have 2 Chinese...

I agree with the Strainer Filter being very important., It Directly protects the Pump from any debris that gets into the Tank, the Spin On Return Filter cleans the Oil that has already gone all through your system. A 10 Micron In Tank (Suction) would diminish Flow Rates, so I would leave the...

Never had fuel in it, it was Brand New Briggs never fired. Shipped that way. Clear like Vaseline Jelly.

The Loggers around here use to use Quick Couplers, to circulate coolant from the vehicle they drove to work. Worked good except Old Coolant from 1 would get transferred to the other 1. 5-10 minutes of idling time and the Skidders would be warmed up in -35F

Well, no one said that you were afraid to Dive into a New Machine. Anyways, my JF12 (QH12) Yancheng Cross, both have some swing, worse when the Hydraulics have Bled Down after a shut down. While working them, neither seemed noticeable. Keeping them Greased, @ every 90 degrees position helps. A...

Lots of Choke, Mine New One started this morning @ 19F. B&S's are on Snow Blowers without any Engine Heater. If truly needed, a 100w Trouble Light under the Seat would heat things up alot. Got the QH12 back to Town Yesterday, 2650km Round Trip, it Cranked and Cranked, no go. Had Spark, turned...

Diggit Mini Excavators have recently been hitting the Auctions and Yes they are Chinese Imports. New 0 hrs but at the price of a 10 year old 5000hr Name Brand (or even lower) So, you have to ask yourself "How often would I use this? Can I adapt some Parts that cannot be sourced easily? Can I...

Sweet!!

That's something New! Didn't realize some had angle switches. But like DF states, it would be a simple 2 wire normally open switch, just unplugging it would bypass the system.

Congrats on the Hoe. Still working the heck out of mine with 65 hour and counting. The L12's and Diggits haven't migrated to Canada in masses yet so the QH12 is the same unit as my JF12, Hydraulic Filter and all. So even if I don't sell it, the Parts alone will be worth what I paid. Now I just...

Yes the Hex Head Pin is the one I need for the Bucket, Accessories are hard to get afterwards. I did pick up a Second Hoe AGT QH12 that I plan on selling back here, at last weeks Sale, and a SDLooL 380 Skid Steer. Just the Auctions are so far away from me. 13 hour 1 way drive is ahead.
