    What A Nice Addition To The Morgan Ranch! The Skidsteer and Graple!!
    A Graple On The Skidsteer Is A Whole Lot More Versatile When It Comes To Using It In The Woods Gathering The Firewood Poles!!

    Good afternoon. I've got a hydraulic oil cooler mounted to the truck I drive while hauling, delivering Propane, Butane and Anhydrous Ammonia.
    After 12 yrs of service and myself being the 2nd driver. The cooling fins are plugged with grit/grime.
    I've went through 1 case of brake cleaner, too cut through the gunk to enable the cooler and fan to keep the hydraulic oil cooler, brilliant.
    If anyone has a better way I'm all for it. I use spill mats to catch the residue from cleaning out the cooler.

    Mike, you should look at the Cat loaders and how they have the loops at the bottom of the left loader arm for the hydraulic hoses so that you can’t stretch them or run over them. I’m not sure if Kubota makes a bolt on option for your machine but it looks like it would work perfectly for you.

    • @ManAndMachines556

    I think that Kubota track loader looks so much more sturdy w the logs. I didn't see it bounce or sway at all. I was so happy w your investment w the excavator, I just knew it would pay for itself, today I'm convinced the skid steer is an even better investment! That machine is going to be put to work on all your property. Now if I was Melissa, I'd be biting at the bit to learn to operate it! I love it Mike, I'm looking forward to many, many videos to come. I'll not ever say this channel can't get any better, it just does keep getting better! Thanks for sharing!👍🚜❤

  • @rwonser53
    @rwonser53 Před 2 lety

    Mike your doing a great job running the equipment you have. Your careful, meticulous and smooth with all your machines. You don't over tax them and you don't abuse them. All signs of a well trained and proficient operator who will get the job done correctly without tearing up the very expensive equipment. I have been an operator since the 1960's and my father was a journeyman operator before me so I know a little bit about operating machinery and taking care of them to make them last.
    I very much enjoy and applaud what you and Melissa are building as a family business through your partnership in marriage.
    Best wishes for continued success.
    Ps. If you'll move your left control lever a-little further to the left and right when turnings you'll counter rotate your tracks which will provide several benefits in addition to tearing up the ground less when turning.
    Also a feature you hopefully have is ride control on your machines(tractor loaders and skidsteer). When traveling distances with or without any load the loader arms float up and down which allows the operator to ride comfortably without being bounced around and the loader to absorb the bumps. This creates less stress on the loader and loader arms.!
    Ask your salesman about this feature if not equipped on your machines, you wont regret it, it will make a huge difference. It can be added to any of your machines even though it may not be currently equipped .

    When we put our V60 grapple on our Takeuchi, we didn't put the hose through the hose holder off to the side like you did. We when from the fittings directly in front of the operator, ran the hoses through a small bungee cord that we hooked through a hole in the bottom of the cross member on the loader arms in front of the operator, then ran the hoses over to the skid steer mounted supply and return fittings. That way all the excess hydraulic hose is between the loader arms and its easier for the operator to see so you don't snag them on anything.

Have steel tracks over the tires, I can't use the tracks like yours, because I'm in the Badlands creeks and fine dusty sand. Which will take out the rollers. Winter time I remove the tracks and put on ice tire chains. My only regret is I need a 2nd on too.
