Seeing that I will be using a brush cutter with it, I am getting one with a Polycarbonate door. All of the Mini track loaders I have used that have a enclosed cab all have had polycarbonate doors. I know they can scratch, but I would rather have a scratch than a lap full of safety glass when...

My son-in-law has been bringing home different track loaders this fall. The first one he brought home was a CAT 289D3 with high flow. It had a mulching head on it. Well, in 48 hours that weekend, I put 19 hours on it cleaning up some of my woods paths and some of the forest floor. The 289D3...

Same concept as a tracked excavator operator climbing on top of the dirt pile as he is loading up in trucks. Much easier to see what your bucket is doing inside the bed of the truck. Some dump truck operators get a bit pissy when you bang your bucket on the inside of their dump bed or tear...

Sure looks like someone has cracked that apart before. I wonder if they had any idea what they were doing? I see lots of scoring and wear.

Did you find anything?

Has it been flipped and it is hydrolocked? Pull the 3 fuel injectors out and try to manually turn it again.

Pressure test your radiator. If it leaks down fairly quickly, but yet you don't see any coolant running out, you need to check your oil level and see if you have coolant in your oil. Otherwise, if your oil level is fine and you are not missing any coolant, check your water pump and thermostat...

I had that back in January with my car. I bought all the recommended sprays and pouches, nothing worked. My exterminator put out poison boxes in the carport. I have found a couple of dried up mice bodies in my vehicles engine compartments this summer, so I guess those were working? He...

Well, finally got around to making the screen covers last night. Last weekend, I was performing general vehicle maintenance on all of my motor powered equipment. Pulled off the air filter cover on my X1100C and yup.......fresh acorns stuffed inside. Damn mice. So, installing both the HVAC...

Chances are, the rear window screen cost is substantially cheaper than a new back window. Think of it as permanent insurance you only buy once. I bought the screen right up front. I don't have to worry about buying a new rear window & the screen later on. The steel on the screen is not real...

I don't know why I waited so long to order this. On the X models, the receiver hitch is located waaayyy up under the machine in the back. For you young whipper snappers, it's no big deal to just lay on the ground, pop in the pin on the receiver and jump right back up. I am finding now I have...

That is what hydrostatics do. 25MPH on flat ground and drop a few MPH climbing hills. They also gain a few MPH going down hills.

Another thing to check for, and I only realized this a couple of months ago. Check with your diesel fuel source and make sure they didn't switch to B20. My local station did and I didn't notice it until a couple of months ago. The X1100c still starts and runs ok, but now, I am going to be...

This is the screen captures from the 2021 Kubota WSM for the RTX X1100C. I know the owners manual and the WSM differ a bit on schedule and interpretation of them.

If you have a infrared thermal thermometer, take a reading of the wires, the starter, and the solenoid as you are trying to start it. With that much of a voltage drop, the infrared should pinpoint the bad connection pretty quick.

3 volts? When you say you checked the voltage at the starter, was that the large gauge wire coming directly from the battery to the starter solenoid, or is that the short connection from the solenoid to the starter itself? That is a 75% voltage drop. Something should be screaming hot with...

That was a pretty nice machine. It went for $$8900.

Make sure the engine has a solid ground strap connection from the engine to the frame.

I have been contemplating selling off my John Deere tractor and implements and buying a track loader with high flow hydraulics. I have a few acres of pasture land, but the majority of my farm is mature woods. A maintenance nightmare. This past weekend, I got ahold of a Cat 289D3 with a 60...

Glad we could be of some assistance.
