      Those liners appear to be heavily pitted and corroded. I would advise against using conventional ethelene glycol based anti-freeze unless you use an additive such as Pencool or equivalent. See here

      Preferably a heavy duty pre-mixed solution such as Final Charge or better yet, a waterless coolant like Evans.

      Coolant filters are also a huge benefit.

        I use ATF for the hyd. better than original fluid.

        FWIW, not a good idea. ATF (any type) is formulated with friction modifiers to work with friction discs and brake bands – not desirable in power hydraulic systems. Plus, it's more expensive that AW HYDRAULIC OIL.

          Ray,

          In the blue shaded toolbar there is what appears to be a little green tree next to a little vertical green strip of film. Just click on the filmstrip and enter the URL/filename. That's all, then click “insert”.


          Well, that didn't work.

          Well, that didn't work either. Could be bad url's possibly, don't know. embarassed

           

          I noticed that when you follow the link you get the message:

          The specified media does not exist”.

            Phil,

            If I remember correctly, and maybe Larry can correct me, but the BH7600's came with two different brands of valve stacks. One was Korean and the other was Swiss or Italian. I don't have the paperwork in front of me but I believe the power beyond cartridge was only offered on the Italian valves, which is what I lucked out with. Check to see what you have.

              I have a factory mechanical thumb on my LiTW hoe and have discovered that it's uses are limited (I think I've been spoiled by hydraulic thumbs) especially when I was moving a stack of 17' RR ties, and loading stumps and brush into a dump trailer (did you see that video of frustration?). Thanks to Larry of Spring Valley I was able to track down a power beyond cartridge for my hoe's valve stack – I'll convert it to a hydraulic thumb. A note about “pick 'n carry” with a three-point mounted hoe; when the outriggers are raised in order to transport a load, the loading on the top link reverses from compression to pulling away so all of the top link load is dependent on the four or six bolts holding the adapter to the differential housing. Just FYI.

                You're right, I did forget. TIMBERRRRRR! roflmao

                Those trees were straight as an arrow, about 110'-120'. Nice Hem-Fir firewood.

                I only had to fell two in this instance, making room for 24' x 30' garage/shop.

                Roof trusses will be made next month. Construction pics to follow. wink

                    This is what I was doing last weekend, this weekend I'm working. I think I'll just roll out the generator on the Power Wagon and use the Wen for now. Only two to limb. Watching this video is kinda like watching grass grow. Shoulda named it tall tree, not big tree. roflmao

                      OK Len, I didn't realize you got the big high-capacity filter, sorry 'bout that. It will be quite awhile before that filter needs changing, and with those size lines I wouldn't worry about starving the pump either.

                      Good job! hailking

                        Glad it's working for you Len.

                        Just out of curiosity, what kind of reading are you getting on the filter gauge because 25µ is a little small for suction side filters. Also, did you remove the in-tank screen?
