One thing I know for sure is that I use mine a lot more than I thought I would. I would definitely replace it if something happened to it.I'm trying to decide between a mini digger like this and a John Deere 690. Not very similar but I have uses for both
If it's not raining tomorrow, I will try it. Thanks for the tip!Never tried it, but some have suggested that spray on cooking oil will help dirt not to stick.
Thats interesting.. I have no grease on the areas you are talking about, and I have 30 hours on mine.There's an H18 at auction sale nearby. Looked at it yesterday in the rain so no pictures, but I saw what looked like a lot of grease on top of the rails that support the tracks on both sides under the house. My first suspicion was the hydraulic track tensioners, but the machine is supposed to have about 17 hours on it, and there's a lot of grease to my thinking.
I borrowed your picture to mark the approximate area of where I saw the grease. But it's the same situation on both sides.
Besides the track tensioners, could this be coming from the mechanism that turns the house?
or just normal mess with these machines?
