    Kobelco SK115SRDZ bucket & stick function slow

    Did you ever find a fix for this? I’ve got an SK250 with the stick cylinder slowing down in the middle then speeding up the rest of the way in. Going out is smooth and quick. I honestly don’t know where to start but I’ve got a repair book I’m gonna start reading. Thanks

    TL150 Fuel Solenoid Issue

    Long story here, I have a TL150 that quit on me a few years ago. The fuel solenoid would pull, but NOT hold. In a pinch I had someone troubleshoot the problem for me to find the gauge/cluster had a burnt spot on a tiny little relay circuit on the back of the circuit board. He checked everything...

    TL150 Coolant Problem

    Yes its new. I use a coolant suck down kit on it when I recently flushed the system and it held a good vaccum for 20min which made me scratch my head a little. I have the proper leak down adapters for this engine to get a definite answer I was just hoping it could be something else

    TL150 Coolant Problem

    My machine has the coolant level sensor, I have a bypass wired up that I typically use when digging or load/unload from trailer. My overflow bottle has been puking water out while running and after 3 or so hours the machine shuts down from low coolant. I allow it to cool and add water until its...

    CAT E70b - smoke coming from flywheel housing

    Digging some stumps the other day I noticed a strong smell of burnt rubber, so I immediately shut down and grabbed the extinguisher to find smoke coming from the flywheel housing placed between the engine and the main hydraulic pump. I let it cool down completely and got less smoke but the same...

    Clearing driveway and building site

    You've gotta have friends that trust you'll fix any and every problem it may have. Including a good pressure washing job. And most important, friends with equipment that aren't making a living with their equipment. I guess it different out in the boonies where all ya got to do is do a favor to...

    Clearing driveway and building site

    What size is your lot? I've done alot of clearing with a CTL with a tough grapple and a CAT E70B (15K machine). I've done 5 acres of mature pines and 10 years worth of underbrush in 4 months while working a full time 40hr a week job. Bought the CTL and borrowed the excavator. (Ex's are very...

    Auto-level Tilt Disabling?

    Yeah that's exactly what I have to do. And yeah I've hit a few things that made me cringe when it'd roll up, but I've been lucky so far. Love the machine, just pissed me off today with a few huge stumps. I was born and raised on a tractor so the auto level tripped me out for a bit at first, but...

    Auto-level Tilt Disabling?

    Well it seems as if it loses squeeze pressure when I have to tilt up to make up for the auto leveling when im close to straight down, and if I pick up without tilting back it bottoms out, which I know isn't good, but if I drive up to something already tilted down, grab it, pick up and tilt up in...

    Auto-level Tilt Disabling?

    Got a Tak TL150, wish I could disable the auto tilt, if it worked both ways I'd be okay with it. But with the faver grapple while root raking it becomes a pain when already tilted down. Anyone ever tried this?

    Used or new track loader where to start?

    I bought my first piece of equipment 4 months ago and knew a skid steer or ctl was the best start. Ive always been the kind to own the biggest baddest & toughest i could afford and im not into bells and whistles at all, just a radio for me. I stay in the woods with dirt, mud, & trees, so of...

    Track pattern options/opinions...

    I think I'm gonna need something more aggressive than the AT tread and I'm leaning towards the staggered block/RD from prowler. Just hoping they aren't too rough on hard pack, I'm very rarely on concrete and asphalt.

    Track pattern options/opinions...

    Well its that time for my TL150, I only see two patterns that even come close to fitting my needs. Im in East TX dirt, can anyone tell me a significant difference between the staggered block and the c-lug? I don't want too rough of a track but then again I don't want to lose traction.. Are the...
