As a swedish subscriber one thing that I'm constantly wondering about is: here I Europe all of our excavators have quick detach systems on them which means we have one machine to do several different jobs. As well ass in the forest we have machines like ponsee and rottne to do the felling/cutting to length. Why is it that something you guys don't use in the US? Not trying to offend anyone, just always wondered why that is.
@keegsmusic57465 жыл бұрын
We have quick couplers too but I imagine it's because they just don't want too pay the extra to get it when they bought the machine. And going from a digging setup to a logging setup is a bit more work than just swapping attachments there's hydraulic lines to get set up and pins to change possibly, etc, etc.........

You are sentenced to labor for the commie elite as slaves to the State with no pay for more than 20 years for the crime of being born in Sweden. 53% of a worker's wages straight to the State. We value our family more than the State commie party elite. We will not give up our right to defend them with our guns much less a simple knife, in order that the State sponsor and control the timber industry. Much better to live in a free world and allow free men to purchase and use the equipment they choose and work for themselves instead of the commie party elite.

@@toddreynolds8875 Bear in my mind, most of my experience has been with CAT. So for the winter season we rented a couple JCB loaders, and they were garbage. The small loaders were supposed to have the universal skid steer attach, and that didn't work right and you weren't able to grease the pins, and because of that they'd freeze in place or just wouldn't work. And they just weren't as reliable as the caterpillar loaders. And we had a couple of the compact wheel loaders, I think they were 409s, and then we had a couple of the small wheel loaders, the 427s, and they all just felt sloppy and underpowered. And the controls weren't as smooth as the equivalent caterpillar models, and they didn't feel quite right. Granted I've only ever used their wheeled loaders, so they're backhoes and excavators may not be all that bad. But their loaders are absolute garbage.

A machine can last a lifetime if you take care of it, that's the problem with most operators these days is they run equipment into the ground by damaging it by not oiling, maintenance and being aware of their surroundings. What will go before the trackhoe is the cutter/grabber. Next would be your boom from hitting trees or have falling limbs. All depends on the company and how they utilize their equipment to the fullest but to the safest route

Is that lub or hydraulic oil he pours at the start there? Three gallons seems a lot if it is lubrication, because it implies it will be lost spread around the job site. Come to think of it, it doesn't matter if is lub or hydraulic oil. If it needs topping up that much then it means it is using it.
