Gradability is apparently 30 degrees, but no idea on what angles before it goes over, generally whatever the blade will level you out to

It’s the same engine as the e19 if it helps.

Tbh I'm not sure what they mean by gradability, would think that's quite a fair angle cross tracks

Thanks, Doobin & Brendan. Did not wish to seize a hired machine or still less my own! TBH if I cannot do it doubt there are many others locally who could. Never had a major foul up in all years of work, sometimes staying alive means saying no to agents etc! Gradeability generally means pointing straight up with boom in position to climb the slope, it does not mean working throu 360 at this angle as far as I know. Going along side slopes leads to losing a track & at least increased wear if not

According to an online calculator 30 degrees over 1m is roughly 580mm and about a 58% pitch.
Loading/unloading is 15 degrees so would assume can slew at that angle although take that with a pinch of salt and use at your own risk etc etc

I tend to use this calculator https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/slope-degrees-gradient-grade-d_1562.html
Sadly I have always been a worrier about seizing engines, the 3C / 3CX was max up or down 1 in 3 for any length of time
We have a road in the valley which I make 1 in 4 & I drive up this in my van! it is a public blacktopped road! No good when wet & leaves are down!
Is there an online site saying 30 deg grade & 15 deg unloading Brendan? Just could not find anything. Remember a BTD6 blade in '69 grading topsoil on a slope of 1 in 2.5 by my measure later, it had been roughly spread first by dragline. It always pointed uphill. Slope onl y sustains because underneath is hardcore of demolished former buildings, with buried walls broke off & left in place like underground flying buttresses
PS thanks for the tip re black Moly grease, you say not on the slew ring I take it you carry two grease guns, one for pins, one for slew ring if I understood correctly

Gradability is in the doosan dx10z brochure, 15 degree loading is in the manual

Brendan, thanks very much for that info
Found both documents online, manual speaks of 15 deg sidehill, & travel down / back up slope of 25 deg, forward up slope of 15 deg boom pointing uphill. & saw 30 deg gradeability in specs. Not pleasant to have am I buggering the machine at back of mind when working. Tend to be over cautious & a worrier

Ever given any consideration to Hanix machines? Good little diggers,very underrated and quite reasonable 2nd hand

I remember renting an 0.8t Hanix it had expanding tracks but with a simple system where you took the weight of the digger on blade & bucket, then removed a couple of pins per side & levered out the track frame with a spade or bar, then re set the pins. Same for other side. Very simple & not prone to damage.I gather it was built that way not converted

I had this Hanix micro for a while. It seemingly had a hard life with its previous owners but did everything I asked of it. I replaced the king post and bushes along with general tidying, certainly beats a shovel!

After that model they brought a micro out with servos on.
Prity sure it was one of the very first micros with servos too as I remember looking at them 2010ish

How are you getting on with the dx10? Is the blade/track still on a lever on yours

The electric changeover switch was an option depending upon how the dealer specced it. Mainly (only?) bobcat, doosan always seemed to be poverty spec.
I can’t recall what they called it, but the higher spec models had that switch and an oil cooler for breaker. Electronic keypad immobiliser also an option.

Cooler/demo kit was standard on the doosan.
My changeover lever has started to go a bit stiff, wonder if it's possible to retro fit the changeover valve and bung a switch in the spare slot.
When I get it back I'll take the floor cover off and see if it's just a build up of crud
