Hey guys!
First Grader4me, that thing is our Lincoln lubrication system.
Fill it up and it grease all conected points as you drive the machine.
With correct amount for each point.
We have demanded autolub on all our new machinery. Then there is no discusion on if you have done your greasing ore not.
Our Moxy ADT has a connection between the greasesystem and the gearbox; It dosen't give more than second gear if its empty for grease...It is 6 gears on those...
Regarding the malfunction, this system has been tested for many years in Scandinavia.
If i am not wrong, the system started around 1990 with the Volvo 6300 machine. A 4300 with a excavator, "digloader" we call it. Backhoes is built on/like tractors, this one is built on a wheelloader.
I can tell you that that 17 year old machine lacks competion today.
Elektrohydraulics with multiple functions in the same 2 controls.
It has the same ore more functions than on my grader.
With all that experience i am sure it will function for decades. Of course you ad more tecnology and with that a increased posibility for foults.
Manual levers is rock solid, so the posibility for foults on the servo is there.
But i am not afraid with that amount of experience, and not only with Volvo.
Vammas, a Finnish grader produser has used this system in their graders for many years. And with thousands of excavator users in scandinavia i am sure it will last without problems.
