Surprisingly good I did put some skies on the bottom of the side covers and made a pendulum gage to help keep me oriented as far as the tilt that helped a lot also put a welded shim on the bottom of the coupler plate that made a night and day difference as far as the stability and a more solid feel through the machine with almost no bouncing
I also just hooked mine up, I router the hoses to come out on the left side, and had 3' extensions made up, wow 3 hoses at 3' and my couplings were quite expensive. Got lucky and managed to hook them all up correctly. Was told to run at low flow. My bobcat has hi flow but heard of seals being blown. My seller did give me a few pointers, Thanks to him I got off to a good start, Still only in the start up phase. I ran thru a tube of grease on just 3 fittings, So I just ran the head up in the air and yes what a sound it makes when I turn off the hydraulics. I learned to slow it all the way than shut it off , less shutter. Would love to get a set of skies on mine and will look into a way to shimm it too. I feel w/o skies it will run too close to the ground and possibly hit some rocks or worse. I need to find a door for my T-300 Bobcat Thanks for all the comments here they helped alot....Omally
I have a question. I just bought one and it’s being shipped. Does it have a crossover relief valve to slow the drum when you cut off the flow. Or is it a sudden stop
@@Foggcmr so I got mine. I ended up having new hoses made. I put a check valve in mine so that the drum will free spool instead of forcing it through the relief of my bobcat. The motor that are on these do not have an internal relief. The sound you are hearing is the pressure being forced through the case drain.
@@Foggcmr I copied what I have seen on brush cutters. Essentially you put a T in each hydraulic line Then connect them with a one way check valve. CID brush cutters are made this way. Your bobcat relief valve will take the shock load if you hit something. If you google CID brush cutter. You’ll see in some of the pictures what looks like an H fitting in the lines.
I used the crank case drain but the other 2 are way too small I got the biggest fittings from the motor to the coupler connection to help with flow I believe it was the bottom connection was the in flow if not just switch your coupler ends
My machine only puts out 17 gpm and it does good if you don't get greedy I couldn't imagine what it will do at your flow rate. I broke a tooth block the other day so I'm fixing that and adding some skid's to the sides and putting a plate under the motor to protect it
