The High track has its place for sure. I think they are great in applications like trash and rock where the wear on duo cone seals is greatly reduced with the proper guarding and being up out of the debris. Many say its not as good due to the amount of wrap on the track final drive sprockets. and torque to the ground but i dont know about amount of torque to the ground cat dozers push hard but there is some increased wear from my experience but then again that's back to the material machine is being used in... Thanks for watching and Thank you for the comment.
If you think thats bad, took winch off to work on clutch brake, try putting a winch on with a blind pto that you cant see or get to to turn and align. I dont know what my winch weighs but a friend's bigger crane of two class 7 service trucks wouldn't lift it and the 200lc knew it was there. First attempt we gave up and had to try another time
I didn't think it was all that bad it was an easy machine over all by myself and. Ya i could see doing a winch that way would not have been easy or fun. is a 200LC a deere excavator? i am assuming whats something like that lift above ground i am picturing 10 to 14k capacity if it has a short stick boom configuration and has a long undercarriage excavators do ok in that area 5 to 10 ft from ground but its not their balance point or place they shine for power that's for sure thanks for the comment.
ya they did, I think they might still in some sizes but hitachi is selling them out of their own dealerships as well is the main change currently or so i was told. Interesting story i was told hitachi was a pariatilly state owned corporation in japan and they guard excavator improvements very closely and negotiate what can leave the country very carefully under competing brands to keep Hitachi relevant being tied to a cat dealer at one point i saw it first hand at that time with the first generation of electronic solenoid valve system that had four valve per cylinder and Japan threw a huge fit the system literally overnite could only be ordered special order on the machine with the accumulator in the swing circuit for producing efficiency that system I don't remember the name it was the pre Katana system (project name) cat uses now. that was 2012 or so been a bit.
Thinking that one was a older high track 6 that had other issues but the repair was a old update from cat that never got done long since expired of course input shaft snapped at a drilling. Really didn’t make any pieces ect pretty fast turn around and it got sold never saw it again.
Secret ? Lol don’t forget the axles 😂 High drive transmissions are simple to remove when there’s no work tool behind the tractor. Dropppng a ripper table down is a more time and awkward climbing in there …. Conventional drive was way dirtier more work to get out / in
Its not a secret really but if ya knew nothing about heavy equipment which is a majority of those that are curious about heavy equipment its a catch line right. Absolutely didn't forget the axle shafts, the footage of that part just wasn't that good and the extra time on the video combined with typical watch time didn't make a good first video for youtube to push so i cut it and other parts of it. totally agree these are a piece of cake they make great videos for traffic cause most people don't think about how to get one in or out. thanks for comment have a great day!
