Good information, will unload my used trencher today,just purchased
@fatbastard12292 күн бұрын
I love mine! I’ve had it about six years. -added a thumb…. Yes, I did have to reweld one of the out riggers after working outside of its weight class. It has more than paid for itself. I use it with a MucTruck and can get into areas that I could never access with a full sized machine. We cut and clear a lot of riding trails through the woods. I did break one of the hydraulic lines, but it was my fault. It caught on a limb while I was towing it. Getting ready to use it on the back of a John Deere tractor. I’ll upgrade the hitch to a 2”. My only complaint is that the hydraulic dipstick would not fully seat when I first got it. Harbor Freight sent me a replacement very quickly.

I like the modification. but I wonder it might have been easier to use a removable pin secured with a cotter pit. Yes, another part to lose, but it does handle the ramp shifting and eliminates the welding work.

@biffmalibu3733Ай бұрын
I think they welded the end caps to make it easier to install the cotter pins. I don't think the pins needed replacement or it would hurt to run with the old pins as long as the cotter pins are in place.
@DoubleMFarmHomesteadАй бұрын
I agree 100%
@beardedprepper8606Ай бұрын
Great point about the cotter key actually keeps the whole pin together. A thought I've had about doing to mine... Drilling a small centered bore hole through the pin and only halfway into the pin, then drill the same size hole at the center point of the pin, but only drill it halfway through to where it will meet up with centered bore hole. Then tap the centered bore hole just enough to thread in a grease fitting into it. Being able to grease the pin that way will allow the grease to thoroughly lubricate the moving parts of the pin. And, it will make it way easier to grease that joint because it sure is aggravating to reach the grease fitting through the joint at the top of the boom. And, I love your new parts washer. 😂
@DoubleMFarmHomesteadАй бұрын
Yea, that would make them more like the "clevis" pins. It would definitely be easier than getting to those hidden fittings.

I don't see why the welds are necessary other than keys coming out. Replace the keys every year or two. I like latch pins myself but cotter pins come out harder and are very hard steel. Haven't had one come loose but I will watch for them every startup.

On any heavy-duty equipment, grease all fittings at the end of the job or at the end of the day while everything is still warm. To force all the accumulated water, dirt, and grit out of the joint or bearing and to do a good grease job. You don't need to force a lot of grease out, just enough to see clean grease. Wipe excess off with a rag, it will hold the dirt and grit you want to get rid of.
