In this video I show how to clean the Takeuchi TL8 Skid Steer. Washing the inside compartment is something that need to be done weekly at minimal to maintain a healthy running skid steer. Like, Subscribe and Stay Safe Out There!
That is good for starters but you should show the proper procedure for removing the two belly pans before washing any upper portion of machine so all that mud and grime are gone from machine as it will be washed out from above and not be trapped by pans. If you drive loader up on a 6x6 they are easy to remove. They do not weigh 60 pounds. One man can remove and install easily.
To remove them simply unbolt the 4 bolts each and carefully remove the last bolt to ensure you dont drop it on you, and your right they dont weigh 60 lbs, I said they weigh LIKE they are 70-80lbs, so thanks to your comment I had to see exactly how much they weigh. The smaller came out at 17.8 lbs and the larger plate came in at 45.8 lbs. It's nice for takeuchi to put a lip on the larger plate to make 1 man reinstallation a little easier. Still they are heavy for one person to handle. Should use caution and know your limitations. Lifting objects that are too heavy can cause serious bodily injury. Safety First Everyone! Although I didnt show it I did remove them and reinstalled them in a dry location 😁 Thanks For Watching!
Nice video. How do you like the TL8? Im on the fence between the 8 and the 10. Going to be doing some small dirt jobs, possibly getting a mulcher in the future.
