    2022 Kubota SVL97-2 Track Loader Load Arm Drift Prevention

    The Safety Police are going to hound you, they can live in their bubble. Yes, I had a similar problem, my FEL bucket tilt would drift down what I felt was unacceptable, 300hrs on tractor, the 7 seals per side where $250 per side, I went to a hydraulic shop and got them for $100 per side, and...

    Gas Additives - What's your favorite snake oil..?

    Not a gas or diesel additive but an oil additive "Proma" MBL8, I don't know how it does it but that friction test they do is very impressive, a salesman came by my fire station before I retired and let us do the testing with everything we could think of like, Mobil 1, Slick 50, and all the rest...

    Solar power for my new home

    I put in a grid tied system myself 10 months, 8.25 kw, will be paid off in 5 years, $14,000, all so with the Q7 inverters it auto shuts off with no gride power for lin-men safety, I could put in a secondary system for $3-5000 to fool it with a/c coupling, but I am not going to worry about it...

    Please keep us up-dated, my L47 (330hrs) does the same thing, I capped off the hoses to test the rams and it still dropped, figure it is the ram seals, just found out that the kit, 7 seals/O-rings is $250 per ram. $500 plus tax to DIY rebuild my 2 bucket rams, Ridiculous.
