Most of these manufacturers are just assembly plants, that buy in chassis components, boom and dipper hydraulic cylinders, Engine!
In fact place up never us in Elgin built a shed with a painting plant just to do the Kubota hydraulic cylinders they were making for them. If they made there own it would just be a Yellow/Red/Green/Orange with their stickers on it then they'd need to stand by it with warranty and such but if the customer takes their pick and fits their own brand of choice then they don't need to worry when it shits itself

Plus the cost of making every item for yourself with all the R&D costs safety etc is probably just to prohibitive

This 2ft bucket and a ripper tooth arrive from rhinox . I had a couple of stumps to remove in th garden . The ripper works perfectly on the stumps and I'm very pleased with the rhinox 2 ft bucket.
Now I have a huge selection of buckets and attachments for it on Kubota size pins I will probably end up going for a tiltrotator

Off topic but I saw this today in inverness while getting new van key coded in and could resist a pic

Did you get the free bag of Haribo with the bucket?

Did you get the free bag of Haribo with the bucket?

I didn’t , that’ll effect my review

 

[Vinpetrol]

I forgot about this thread ! Thought I'd better put something in it . Wee bit of snow today so no school for me. The hound won't even go out !

Started at my plot today. I've got planning but not warrant just yet . Things moving at a pace though so I decided to make use of a few free days to improve the field entrance . This won't be the main entrance as it's on a junction . It has a field gate though and it's in a great location to get artics reversed in so I'm upgrading it to take my deliveries

Happy Days

Been pushing on a bit on the site . That was til the Case started spewing hydraulic oil out of hoist ram . Took it off this morning for new seals

 

[Vinpetrol]

Can anyone help with this issue , I’m pouring structural slab at my place tomorrow but today the hitch on the case has for the first time given some bother . The ram in it has come adrift from the housing and damaged its casing and rod . I’ve taken it off for repair but I was supposed to be using it tomorrow for the concrete . I headed over the yard to get the duck only to find it has a wee leak from what looks like a bank of solenoids . Leak looks like it’s from the one with the green wire . I’m hoping it will hold up while I pour the conc with it but I’m wondering is there a seal of some sort behind the solenoid ? If so are they likely standard o rings seals or would it be a Komatsu part only job ?

Probably a fine o-ring. Nothing to complicated.
Is it coming out of there or the plug though?

Thanks for replying Aiden , Im not sure . I will clean it up tomorrow and get a better look , where is the plug that you refer to ?

 

[CPS]

The plug on the solenoid... i have seen them leak from there before but mostly on ones with the plug on the base of the solenoid not on the side like yours

can you not just drop your hitch off, cap the lines and pin the bucket on - old skool ?

buckets might be welded pins etc

Do you mean the electrical plug Aiden ?

Yes

 

[Vinpetrol]

Yes

If it is from the plug can that be repaired or does it need solenoid replaced?
