A further question - does anyone know if the lengths of the steering hoses are available anywhere? They’re given for the hoses in the FEL manual, but not in the CK35 workshop manual I have.

Hello everyone. Had a fire next to the engine in my CK35 HST cab (2011) just below the starter motor. It was a bit exciting at the time, and lucky I had got out to swing the back actor arm or it would have been worse. It still took two full powder extinguishers to finally put it out. Anyway the...

Sounds about where I would like to be! Update on the search - I keep finding machines exist that I have absolutely never heard of before. On the blower front, it usually ends up finding (after a LOT of searching) that they are way out of my price range. But after thinking I might need to...

We’ve had a couple of days of warmer weather, around 2or 3 C, so some snow has reduced. But it’s windy and snowing again today with the temp maxing out at 0.6. More forecast in dribs and drabs for a fortnight. Then, usually, most will disappear, we’ll get lulled into a false sense of security...

I wonder if you could take a photo of what you see in the cab, please? The concept sounds promising, but I wonder how easy it is to see exactly where the snow is going, as well as drive, whilst working in reverse. As I approach the village road, I have to drive between houses, and snow placement...

I don’t seem to be able to find much comment, adverse or positive, about them from users.

Wow, thanks Dave! V interesting bit of reading. Not sure I’m quite that handy- particularly in the welding dept. But it has made me reconsider the mid pto, which the kioti came with. Iirc, it’s 2000 rpm as standard. Which may well mean no gear needed prior to a hydraulic pump. Of course running...

:unsure:

Yes, I’ll have to chase that up. Btw, do you know what ‘group 2’ ‘group3’ pumps are??

Ha! This is more like what you’re suggesting Galtech Hydraulic PTO Gearbox with Group 3 Pump, Cast Iron | eBay But a tad more expensive!!!

I’m trying to get figures on pressure, but they haven’t come back to me yet. I’ll have a look at something around 200 bars and see what gives

:ROFLMAO:

Thanks Leonz. I'll have to see if they have one there. They don't mention it on their website. (It's a shame but I often get referred to supposed local dealers from manufacturers abroad and it ends up just a dead end.)

Thanks! I'll give it a go...

Thanks Hayden. Yes, I've had a look at some videos on line by Rammy (and others) and I have to say that I have some concerns. They show them doing ok on new snow at about 6" max. But we need considerably more than that. Your point on the 35hp is well made. I too have seen estimated losses...
