My new toy arrived today. Cat 924k, has a 6.6 Acert with 150 hours on it....and its already been stuck once today XD

[Hillbilly]

Damn nice.

I hung up the keys to the truck and they gave me the keys to a jcb loader. Smaller guy but its making me money.
Ill have to post some pics of it tomorrow.

[Mr. D]

I've still gotta get use to this damn thing, Im so use to slapping a gear stick on the left side under the steering wheel, when I hit stick on this I turned the turn signal on lol. Its complicated as hell, every button on that thing brings up 3 different modes on the screen. It even has a mod to turn the torque down so your not spinning the wheels trying to get a bucket load.....which in some cases is useless cause it cuts forward momentum out as the blade of the bucket hits paydirt

But all in all, how are you liking it? My dads been unloading hay with a 930K, He said something about too big, push the whole load off the other side too big 

[Mr. D]

Considering the 924k is the smallest of the small wheel loader series, they should have classified the compact loader side as small wheel loader and this as medium....cause damn I now have the biggest damn machine to run in the gin yard this year. They even told me if im  not gonna be on it either I take the key with me...or if Im not gonna be there period, give it to how ever the head ginner or supervisor is casue they dont want just anyone on it. Its so spoky to be on my bossman who got it stuck got off of it and forgot to take it out of gear....so the wheels were still spinnin XD

[Mr. D]

I got a new phone and decided to test the camera out, took a pic of the loader after we got the round module squeeze hooked up to it. Had to redo lines and all on it.

[Mr. D]

-____- This mud is just ridiculous

[Mr. D]

Just got our hands on this heavy metal bastard. Bossman thinks the ford will pick it up with the weights on it.....I think more like the oliver. IT needs paint, a second lift cylinder on the wheels, the gearboxes checked, and a rough spline to a fine spline adapter so the pto will fit the ford or oliver. Still gotta find out what brand it is, but it has comer gearboxes lol

Heres a pict from A Grading Company I  had got hired out of in Vegas,what happened the d10 broke down and the 980 cat and the d9n had to push it down to the lowboy to get transported back to the yard.

I m going to try to post more picts as I work.

Just a new u joint. The shaft itself is fine. Though we found more problems that need to be a dressed on the certain bush hog like a loose gear box caused by a cracked and bent deck

[Mr. D]

Muh lil toy, this is the bobcat that has yet to be caught on fire....mostly cause its only a few years old lol

[◇Danny◇]

I was going to invest in one of those but I've been very undecided and overly concerned about if its worth hassle. There have been several farmers around here who have had theirs catch fire as of late. Something to do with hydraulic leakage and electrical shortages.

[LMB]

Bobcat fire in 3....2.....1....

[Mr. D]

Ours catch fire cause dumbasses don't blow the cotton seed out and it builds up and catches. Never does anything major, just usually burns a hole in the fuel tank...we keep fire extinguishers on ours and inspect them ever 6 months lol

[Dogebilt]

well this is what I did during the spring

[LMB]

FS in real life!

[Colonel]

I do believe that's called farming. lol

[Mr. D]

Looks like a ih air drill reskined into some fake ass jd drill

[Mr. D]

New Toy around the shop for ginning season. Case 621F





The thing I like about this thing.....the fucking hood is automatic lift.


And I dont have that computer screen right in the damn way like the 924 cat last year




Now on to what I hate about it. Number 1, it runs on fucking DEF and we don't have a tank for DEF installed at the gin yet, and the radiator is ON TOP of the machine which makes blowing it out dangerous.....especially when its raining and you have to step on the fender step. Though this one has the reverse fan option unlike the cat last year that didnt......so we shall see how long it takes to get stopped up

[Mr. D]

Sooooo.......................things were bought
