Mr. Colin, I see you replaced the fan blade on the Case (again). Since they are breaking with regularity, what does your Case dealership tell you about design changes to that problem component?

Not sure where you are, but that looks like some south Georgia / north Florida dirt and dust... I bought a small and a large battery blower - DeWalt, Ryobi, and Milwaukee all make good ones that are good enough to get you by until you get the truck outfitted with compressors and what not. The little one is surprisingly strong, and they aren't terribly expensive. -- Keep up the hard work !

@@michusb930 That is honestly a very easy answer. First and foremost, the Case dealership near me is fantastic. They have great customer support and they always go above and beyond to help small businesses like myself. Second, the Minotaur is such a capable machine. Power, size, comfort, build quality, and versatility are the top 5 reasons to own a Minotaur. Truck is a 2017 Ram 3500 H.O. with the Aisin transmission and 4.10 gearing. Trailer is a 30’+5’ Trailer World trailer.

I have the same in Hyundai R 55-9a (KZbin channel oak split) and I find your overall analysis completely accurate! I find that power is also useful for accessories that require hydraulic flow. It has 70 liters/minute and that's very good 👍. On the other hand, the exit speed of the bucket cylinder (i.e. when you close the bucket) is too slow for me, in any case compared to the speed of the other hydraulic movements. When do you think. The turret start dosage is also not fine enough to be more precise. On the other hand, it has enough flow and power to work while you are on the move, which saves a lot of time. I equipped it with Geith for the coupler and the buckets, which suits me. What brand do you have? I subscribe to follow you and continue, it's cool 👍👌
