@bradjenkins932 I believe the gpm limit on this particular mower is 22. This mower is 68 inches wide so it's just slightly narrower than the skid steer. Thanks for watching!

@@oilfarmer706 Ok, thanks.

@regsparkes6507 Thank you for watching! (Very fun to run as well)

@@oilfarmer706 " very fun to run" is what I was thinking too. :)

@DennisCook-yg3fj Haha yeah, if you don't stay on top of cleaning and rust prevention, it can get away from you in a hurry around here. Thanks for watching!

@jimthode thanks! I agree. I try to leave it a little low on the stump so I have room to pick up once I get up against it to put more weight on the tracks. One time when I was a kid dad was pushing a stump out and the blade jumped over it and got stuck behind the C frame, blade wouldn't pick up high enough to go back over it. That was a mess I'd rather not re-create lol Thanks for watching!

Thank you. It used to have a roof with shingles on it. But got ripped off by a low hanging branch. I've toyed with the idea of building a canopy out of steel to help protect me from falling branches. Thank you for watching and commenting.

Diamond plate aluminum and snow coat it white to reflect heat 😊

@davidtipton7234 agreed that tree was every bit of 4 foot diameter at the stump. I was also being cautious to make sure nothing was coming over the blade. All it takes is one stick aimed just right to poke a hole in the radiator. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Mine is 7ft base of the trunk That old D7 got er done no worries

@@user-ln6fv6rc8e thanks! I love that thing.

@@MCKlNNEY they are out there. Just have to put the work in to find em. Thanks for watching!

I just seen this for sale on Facebook it looked like you did you sell it?

@MCKlNNEY yes I did. Ended up being too small for what I needed. It was a fun little project though. Further info coming soon in a future video

@STA_FARMS it is very well taken care of. Never been wet since it came off the dealer lot. Never been rained on or washed. Just blown off with air and wiped down with diesel fuel. Thanks for watching!

@dirtyhandsyt6677 thanks! The old 853 does a good job still.

@chargermopar The bar and chain baler is all I've ever used. My favorite job is raking, but I rarely get to do it. Thanks for watching!

@@oilfarmer706 Yes, if something breaks it is something you can fabricate yourself!

@bradjenkins932 oh I can imagine that would turn into a mess real quick.

@@oilfarmer706 Yeah it wasn't pretty or cheap

Thanks. Will do!

Got torque for days. It's all in the gearing.

Got plenty of power. Doing what a 3t is supposed to do.

When the tracks spin you're getting all the power it has. And that's plenty.

Oh yeah. I did 4 pretty large oak stumps and on massive cherry stump. My whole body was sore the next day, especially my clutch arm.

Thanks for watching!

Nope serial number is 3T24510

It's no 17A.

Nice! I know this this engine was rebuilt I think in the 90's

30 thousand hr engine. With good maintenece

Only one of them lol

This one has an oil clutch.

That she is. Thanks for watching!

There is a guage on the front of the baler to let you know how full the bale is, there is another guage to let you know where your twine is at on the bale when wrapping it. The only thing on the tractor is a control box with a 3 position momentary switch to run your twine back and forth (electric tie baler) and a buzzer to let you know when the bale is full. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@oilfarmer706 thanks for commenting back looking at one just like you have

@fullers1966 Nice! Is it electric tie or hydraulic tie?

@@oilfarmer706 I believe it is electric

@@oilfarmer706 just went back and looked at the add for the baler it really don't say but it does have 4 hydraulic hoses on it I'm going to figure must be hydraulic tie

Thank you!

From what I've been told, according to the serial number it is a 1953. I've never looked it up myself. Thanks for watching

Thanks! Glad to be back

Thank you!

Parts seem to be readily available. My baler hasn't asked for much, so I really don't have to go looking for parts often. I'd say the big things to watch out for would be apron chain wear, and dry rot on the air bags.

@@oilfarmer706 gotcha! Hoping to pick this one up I saw on marketplace. I was surprised at how good of a bale it makes. I know the new holland chain rollers before this one they made a pretty shitty bale so I figured these did too. I was wrong!!

I've never ran a belt baler. They seem to make good looking bales though. Other than bending a bar when it picked up a tree branch, I've never had any issues with the 853. Thanks for watching!

I got them from a slavage yard in Youngstown ohio.

That's good to know. I've been hesitant to do much to this dozer because of lack of parts. Thanks for watching!

That it does. I wouldn't trade that baler for any newer one. Thanks for watching!

@oilfarmer706 I had one like that. Saved my butt more then once. Probably shouldn't of sold it lol. Oh well.

Thank you for that.

Many of the suspension and brake parts are available through aftermarket manufacturers like (Automann, Atro, Euclid, Dayton) Just have to find a truck parts store near you that stocks those brands. Some things have come from the Mack dealership, but parts from them are usually very expensive or not available anymore. Thanks for watching!

@@oilfarmer706 25:26 I work at a Mack dealership kenmor I think has made a special tool for the older two bolt style and the newer 12 point 16mm style top load Mack carriers cost about 400$ normally just put red lock tight on the inside bolts and tightened them as tight as I possibly can with what I have

Thank you for your support. It means a lot.
