OK, well seeing the schematic shows the sensor utilizes a NPN transistor, I mentioned the ground connection. Using an ohm meter, check the resistance from the 3rd pin to the chassis ground. If you are getting more than a few ohms of resistance to chassis or an intermittent connection, you...

It looks like that sensor goes to the ECU, before the ECU outputs a signal to the gauge on the cluster. To test a MRE type sensor, you will need access to an oscilloscope to check that signal for proper pulsing. It also looks like power for the sensor comes through several harness connectors...

With having both excavators and CTL's on the farm off and on through the years, you have to look at what machine would get more use. What attachments are available for each machine. Which machine is gonna give you the biggest bang for your buck. Will you likely jump in the excavator to do a...

This cutter is a 72". You can also get it in a 78". The price for the high flow cutter was a little over $10k. Ordered it from the factory 3 weeks ago. I have the hydraulic Quick Attach built into the CTL. So it is just a matter of flipping the switch to unlock and lock the bucket or cutter...

This was a 12" diameter cedar stump that stuck up out of the ground about 8". I have been mowing around this damn thing for about 15 years. If you know anything about Eastern Red Cedar, it petrifies when it dies. Hard as a damn rock. Lawn mower blade twisting devil. Sat the brush cutter...

Ok, here is some pictures I took of about 3/4 of an acre I cleared yesterday afternoon with the new brush cutter. This whole area was dense eastern cedar ranging fro 15' to 25' tall. Trunks were any where from 6 inches to 10 inches in diameter. It took about an hour of leisurely clearing to...

I ran a 299D3 last fall with just a bucket on it here on the farm. She had plenty of power, but it had the 110HP engine in it instead of the 75HP that is in my 289D3. The extra power was nice, but she was a thirsty girl and she required DEF. It has a 32 gallon fuel tank on it and I was...

Possibly, Doc. That is the bet that I took when I bought the CTL and ordered the brush cutter. I looked at an excavator and a drum mulcher to go on it, but for my land, it's elevations and steepness, the plans I have for cleanup of my forest, the CTL with the brush cutter made more sense. I...

Here she is. She is a dirty girl after using her all weekend. She is an absolute beast. The brush cutter is supposed to show up tomorrow from the MFR.

The second schematic you provided: What piece of equipment does that go to? I also have a 2023 RTV X1100C, and I have never seen that schematic before. On the schematic I provided, the part you are calling the relay and colored yellow is actually a male/female plug connection. There is a...

Well, Kind of. There is a 30 amp fuse (left hand side top) protecting the whole branch circuit. If you follow the 30 amp circuit, it goes to the key switch, which is controlling your glow plugs. The glowplug light is a tapped branch circuit off of the 30 amp, on the load side of the keyswitch...

Has anyone put one of those injector line sensor tachs on their RTV? If is it pretty accurate?

I am going to permanently mount mine in the back of my 3/4 ton. I don't drive the 3/4 ton all that much, but when I do, I don't need an 800 pound unsecured wrecking ball coming through the back window of the truck in case of an accident. :poke:

Well, I found the tank I wanted. My local Farmers COOP can get a 100 gallon aluminum transfer tank, made for combustible fuels, only. I have no need to haul that much gasoline. Diesel only. Best part about it, they can seem to get the same brand name and model number tank that the online...

This logging company wasn't a big one with lots of money. This was some fly by night, backwoods operator with worn out equipment and sketchy employees here in middle Tennessee. I met the owner at a bonfire party on one of my friends farm and after a few beers, got to talking to the old guy...

Yeah, I thought about a logging company.........for about a 1/4 of a second, and then quickly remembered I tried that route one time about 20 years ago. Complete disaster. They promised me the moon before they came in, how they would clean everything up when they were done, they would smooth...

Bwahaha........Yep, I always dream big. I was running a Cat 299 CTL and a Cat 313 excavator all weekend long. Both drink diesel at a healthy rate and both have large tanks. I have 12 acres of very dense, mature mixed species trees that I am going to start to thin out. I have the forest floor...

Yeah, my F250 has a 5.4 gasser in it. No worries there. I didn't need that much diesel fuel in the past with my diesel UTV's and my Deere tractor. But since I just bought the Cat 289D3 CTL, I will be burning a lot more diesel this coming year. Basically every weekend that it doesn't rain...

The inter webs are so confusing for trying to select one. You have to read a buttload of reviews, sorting out who has a legitimate complaint and who is just a plain idiot, who can't read manufacturers instructions. Then, you have to read very carefully the manufacturers claims. Some tanks are...

It will be mounted in the bed of my 3/4 ton truck. The ones I have looked at have 2" bungs. I will be putting a 15 gal/minute pump on it with a in-line filter. For several years, I have been getting my off road diesel in 55 gallon steel drums. It has worked fine. I have a hand pump I use...
