I think quite a few of these machines use pipe thread for fluids although they can be cut loose or tight, but that is the way a lot of parts are on them.
wow what a mess, on the bright side all the things that you did not like you have a chance to get it how you want it. I am sure that did not help much. but the driveway looks good.
I am getting a bolt on grapple from paladin from a employee of theirs at his discount. I will let you know how it goes. From what I was told the people at titan were employees of Kodiak who left when they were bought out by paladin , now they paladin was just bought up by black and decker. I guess company diversification is back in style.
I think any group 31 battery will turn these tractors just fine , just remember to get the terminals – and + on the correct ends so the cables will reach.
I just added 108 lbs more front counter weight to the skid steer , that made it better but still on non level grades it is to light in the nose , so it looks like I will have to get a grapple to add more front weight(around 200 lbs). But yeah I am thinking titan at this point , but I do like the anbo’s features. But that would be liking sticking lipstick on a pig. The grapple would be worth more that the skid steer.
Mr.tinbender I got a response to a price request from anbo . So they also sent me a direct phone # which is 1- 866-634-3330 ext 1 ask for Dave trucking is a killer for me. but you are closer.
If the cylinders fittings are welded in they will need to be dissembled to be cut out and new one’s welded in I would think (heat and hydro seals do not mix) . But if you have access to a machine shop adapters should be able to be made to convert what ever to what ever. But I have not had a lot of luck finding people with skills and or time to do small things like that around here.
I did not mention the grapple I am shopping for is for that bobcat 500 that I got going. Who ever had it before cut in half the front counter weight which makes it easier to get into but makes the front way to light with out a load in the bucket. And it also eliminated some foot safety protection. again we reengineer . I guess the wikco grapple is the best choice for what I need.
Yeah my bucket is 55 inchs wide some manf. do not make one that small, the lifting cap. is when new 1000 lbs. so I am torn whether to go light duty so I can maintain as much lift as possible or get one that will be more durable. I looked at wikco but there wait is around 6 weeks but they do make a one that will fit and is light duty. so I will have to make a decision.
