I couldn’t tell if you put traveler hydraulic fluid in or what, but it takes 10w-30 diesel motor oil FYI. We have one and they are pretty decent machines. Drain the diesel water separator often. Those injectors will blow the end off if they see water.
@@GolschHayFarms yes it is big, I use the 3 spike one, made for big squares, but remove the center spike. Works good for loading round bales on double hay van
Mds manufacturing is a local manufacturer here in South Dakota, they make a double spear with the slide and I believe they will put any mount on it from skid to pay loader. They are not the cheapest by any means, but seems like quality equipment.
They look like the same machine I used to run at my buddy’s tree farm, which is a gehl ctl80, it’s an extremely tough machine, but leaves out a lot of the creature comforts of the more expensive machines. I have a Deere 333g on my hay farm and I find it rides much better, but the lifting capacity of the gehl/tak is right up there with it if that’s all you want out of a machine
A 100hp machine (like tl12) with high flow hydraulics would definitely run a brush cutter or drum mulcher. Up where I live there’s quite a few companies around that use skid steers with drum mulchers.
Looks like you put 10w30 gas engine oil in the hydros. Takeuchi take 10w30 Diesel engine oil in the hydros only. If it was diesel oil nevermind lol. seen alotta people make that mistake. hydro pumps aint cheap.
I noticed you put some cheap hydraulics fluid in a machine that probably takes hydrostatic fluid.This is usually the beginning of the end for the pumps and hydrostatic,motors, why do thAt
