No specific pattern. If one has an automatic activator for foggy operations...they will use that one. A single long blast at timed intervals while underway. BTW...the long and a short whistle at the end indicates docking completed....tie it up.

It's a 301 Allis

Cool, sounds like you are really great at assumptions! Have you thought about a career as a politician?

All variable speeds on combines operate about the same. My R52 is similar with the variable speed corn head drive. If you are not using loc-tite and are making the pins rather than buying the right ones and you don't replace the bushings then you can expect trouble. It's like that with Deere, White, Case etc etc. Back in the G days Gleaner was number 1 in sales in the United States. There is a reason they were number 1. We've been running Gleaners since 1976. Dad ran 300 acres every year wit his E Gleaner from 1976 to 1997. The worst thing for a combine than to have some cobble artist who doesn't know what he is doing be the one doing all the repairs on it.

It is neat how simple many parts of a Gleaner combine are, but it’s such a pain to get parts for a G anymore. The reality is, this combine did a lot of work in its day, and it deserves recognition for it, but I was working on it more than I was working with it. The new owner is happy to have it and plans to fix the issues and keep using it!

I have some semi videos I'm pretty sure.

I can’t pick on anything in particular that I disliked about this excavator. Keep in mind that we only had it on rent for a week, but it seemed comfortable, strong, and fast. Felt very similar to a lot of the Cat machines I’ve run. There are a few minor things I wish Volvo did differently in the cab, but otherwise, it seemed to do pretty well.

David Pillet I think the Kubota is an overall pretty good machine for mulching. The only things are that the cab door doesn't seal up very well, the quick attach lines can get snagged if you're not careful, and the track kept falling off on one side for some reason (I think it was just this particular one). I didn't have any problems with the hydraulics overheating. I made sure to blow out the radiator every so often though. To be honest, I would prefer a Takeuchi TL12 for mulching.

I appreciate the reply. I'm still trying to decide. Any of these machines need to be cleaned up on a regular basis, especially where I am, with all the pine needles. I'm leaning towards the newer ASV 120's now.

David Pillet I don't have any experience with the ASV machines myself. I've heard both good and bad.

David Pillet- I have 12+ years of experience and seat time with Bobcat/ASV/CAT/ TAK and others. Apart from the (6 or so) manufacturing issues ASV had last year, they are very good machines. I’ve seen so many videos on social media; and, most negative comments on ASV are clearly from individuals who don’t know the product very well or don’t buy from a good dealer. You may want to look into the ASV 75HD or ASV 120D with the added door option if you don’t mulch full time, too. That could save some cash. Undercarriage maintenance has cost us way less on the ASV over the other machines. Plus, we don’t throw tracks on the ASV. That’s my two cents.

durtwurx77 what mulching head do think is the best, where I live I can’t use the bite limiter

I think Takeuchi builds a very well built and reliable machine, so I would say I recommend the brand. They are a little heavier duty than pretty much everything else I've been around. The size really depends on what you are planning on doing with it. Keep in mind that this TB290 is too big to safely move with a pickup, so you don't want to go above a TB260 if you want to move it with a 3/4 or 1 ton truck. The TB290 worked pretty well for the job I needed it for, but the 8-9 ton class to me feels like an odd in between size. It's not quite small enough to fit in places that most people would use a mini for, yet it's too small to do general excavation with. Unless you have a niche for this size excavator, I would probably either go one size smaller so I could move it easily, or go into the 13-14 ton zero tail swing class so I could do more general excavating.

I was able to haul an 8 ton mini ex on my shortbed single wheel, but it was a little heavy. If you want a machine this size, I recommend getting a dually if you plan to move it.

JohnDeereCat98 I hAve started, I am doing fairly well have a 299d skid and 305 hoe I pull with my 2019 f350 dually and in the process of purchasing a bugger track ho

@@brandonsequipmentvideos6177 this is about the best advice I’ve read concerning size of mini excavator for someone starting a business. Can’t thank you enough.

Kenny Kizzle No problem at all. Hope to hook it up to a 3 bottom this fall or spring.

1) It's a vehicle that is commonly used off road and should not be designed with fragile parts. 2) Why does the door sill look worse on this truck than it did on a 18 year old truck I had?

@@brandonsequipmentvideos6177 you drag your foot on it worse? If you dont drag your foot it wont wear the paint. Also corners are the hardest place to get a high build up of paint as well as clear coat. Gm dips their vehicles rather than sprays them which actually leaves more paint thickness even. And if you knew you were going to take it offroad all the time (which a ton more than you expect never touch dirt) why did you get black? The color that shows the most scratches and dust compared to the others. Oh and the valance is plastic as it's been since 1999. If you hit something with a plastic valance it will damage it. In the book it tells you that there are push pins that you can remove if you are offloading and that way you will have higher clearance and be less likely to scrape or damage your valance. It's not necessarily fragile when a 6-7,000 pound truck pushed it into a stationary object. Plastic headlights have been around since the 90s on trucks and those are fragile if you hit things. Your valance tore like it did because its flexible rather than splitting apart into several pieces or shattering.

Jared Anthony Sounds like you know everything you need to know to buy one of these trucks and keep it perfect shape. Have fun!

Oh, and the truck scaled at 8300 pounds with about 150 pounds of tools in the back seat in case you’re wondering.

@@brandonsequipmentvideos6177 according to Chevrolet specs a crew cab short bed 4wd curb weight specs at 6,532 pounds so that might be a really heavy 150 pounds of tools..

What if it's the only machine you have on the site? Come give me the right machine.

Ok, I'll be there on Monday . What is your address?

I was just goofing off. Nice job operating . I see way too many goofs operating these machines

fit4ya1975 no issues with my duramax. I fill the def tank once every 3000 miles. Other than a regeneration every 1000 miles or so no worries with diesel. Just strong reliable pulling power and fuel economy as opposed to a gasser.

Good to know! I have a few buddies that have Diesel trucks, F350 and a 2500 Denali. They both love em, problem free. Ill be getting one next spring. Thanks!

then definitely don't get the duramax. at least with the cummins and super duty you can delete them.

I'm on my 3rd duramax. First 2 were deleted. I would say my l5p is stronger and more efficient than my deleted lb7 and lmm by far. I'm also a family man now and the wife and kids don't like the noise or the smell of a deleted truck. At first I was a little worried about no delete for l5p but truck is so good in factory form it's fine. Saves me from a headache at inspection time too. I would say if you need your truck for intended use don't delete. Also the side of your camper will stay cleaner lol.

Thanks a lot, really helps! I talked to a GMC mechanic at the dealership, he said he has not seen any Duramax in the shop hardly at all, if so it was for software updates, no problems with Emissions.. That was for the 17's and newer.

For some reason it lowered the video quality when I uploaded. Assuming doesn't get you too far.

boost lord it's the same paint gmc and chevy are the same truck regardless of what stupid people think all offered in the same powertrain with the same high end trim only suttle differences like gauge and back lighting own both

lifted 98 I said finish not paint. The gmc has the shitty orange peel buffed out. I own both

I agree. Paint is thin on my Denali. However from what I have seen most cars and trucks today have shitty paint. EPA made auto manufacturers remove all the good stuff that made paint better.

Oh here we go🙄

No the paint on the door sill corner is from dragging your feet. The step being out different may help avoid dragging your feet but if you get in and out without dragging your feet and without resting your foot there it wont happen. Sometimes on used cars you'll see a complete bare edge for the distance you can rub your foot that has surface rust on it because they drug their feet. They could have designed a lip protector that is a wear plate to prevent it all.

MichaelTJD60 I clocked this one at 17 with my GPS speedometer app.
