Throttle set button not working correctly
In my own hubris I hadn't looked but likely it is. That is usually one thing you can rely on for most of our machines to still have. -

Throttle set button not working correctly
Thanks so much for your efforts, the next time I am in that machine I will investigate the alternate method of idle speed setting. If that does not work, the next time I have a mechanic handy to my work area I will ask them to have a quick look in the ECM config screen. If that fails I'll advise... -

Throttle set button not working correctly
The only serial number I could find may not be correct. I saw it attached to the delivery record. It read AW400706. Past that I don't have more information unfortunately. -

Side sloping in a D6T
That's the information that I've always had. Thanks as it helps considerably to have like minded professional opinions to confirm my suspicions. I love running my CATs and it's great to be armed with as much information as possible. -

Side sloping in a D6T
Hah! "Walnut Pucker Factor"! I love it. I have been looking for official information for some time now but it's looking as though there really isn't any and that's fine. I hadn't done much sloping before this job and I guess I just have to get used to that crazy uneasy feeling of being sideways... -

Side sloping in a D6T
So I have a question; is there a limit to the angle a D6 wide pad can be on? Can I cut a 1:1 safely? 2:1? I've been told that these machines can safely tilt to almost 60 degrees but that sounds pretty sketchy.
