Want to share a quick lesson I recently learned… the quick couplers on these machines are cast and they will break. I broke mine while grabbing a log just the other day. The worse part is local dealer said they are on back order for months. I found one of two on the west coast and had to pay for freight. $1700 mistake, be careful when grabbing logs.
Yes, I have heard of a lot of problems with the cast couplers. So far, so good with mine, I have over 1700 hours on it, and it hasn't broken yet. It does seem to be wearing faster than my older Werk Brau fabricated ones did. I will never get another cast one. Werk Brau does make them. You might check and see availability. And cost.
@dmtadventures7044 Well, that's not encouraging. Figured the Werk Brau was still fabricated like the older ones. I wonder if anyone still makes a fabricated one.
Hahaha…! Re: the truck bed ramps, did they really get heavier, or did you just get older.? Just joking with you. Have enjoyed this video series… Thank you sir.
