    Metal in tank hydraulic filter

    Could be on its way out but you have no history to base that on. I suggest replacing filters and rechecking but be aware rental places sell equipment that's not worth fixing so they probably knew where it was headed.

    Cat 730 rocktruck

    Uni-T has a reasonably priced one, or they did before this year. Make sure to read up on the operating manual to run it correctly.

    Could anyone explain what low restriction hose and unrestricted hose?

    I'm guessing it's poorly worded for pressure ratings.

    MTS MT28

    That's exactly how they were doing it when I saw it. Super sticky clay just piling up. Was even damaging the rear "spoiler" with how heavy it was.

    Any hydraulic shop should know what the fitting is. I just tell them I want a CAT test port adapter, usually known as a sureflo quick coupler.

    The ripper control is sending the signal to the implement module and you have piggy backed on to the valve. Some how you would need to duplicate the signal to activate the pump.

    What tech features stand out in JLG and Genie aerial platforms from your experience?

    Because I trust their quality control and engineering. They're so over engineered it's ridiculously safe. No way I'm risking mine or others lives with some chinesium crap to save a couple bucks.

    Hydraulic pin grabber question

    Hydraulic quick couplers are easy to to install, takes maybe 6 hours. They will stay tight with positive retention vs the mechanical that come loose without frequent adjustment

    Cat 305CR sudden loss of hydraulics

    Safety switch seems fine? Use a DMM and confirm that it is. Next is buying a pressure gage and test hose.

    Putting almost 50 yards in a 35 yard scraper is window licking stupid.

    MTS MT28

    We run loads of MTS scraper pans. No abnormal tire failures usually just getting punctures from debris or operator error. Personally sounds like the pans are being over loaded, that's on the operators though. They should know when to stop.
