    Warm up before driving mini excavator out of garage?

    My garage is far from the house, but it is deep with no doors close to the excavator parked rear end towards the rear wall. I may drill a hole in the wall and use a hose to get the exhaust out. I avoid starting it in very cold weather. To charge the battery I have started it once this winter...

    Warm up before driving mini excavator out of garage?

    Hi, Is it harmful for a mini excavator to be driven carefully out of a garage immediately after startup without a 5 min warm up? Warm up will fill the garage with exhaust or should I use a hose on the exhaust to get the fumes outdoor? Thanks Erling

    Mounting diamond snowchains on small wheels

    Thanks for helpful replies. I tried to mount the snowchain on one of the wheels today, does it look correct? The chain is very loose even when I use the innermost links. I may need to cut open one triangle as illustrated on the image.

    Mounting diamond snowchains on small wheels

    Yes I suppose that is the case, do you think the chains where clevises and hooks are attached should be threaded through the last diamond shape on the oposite end of the chain, and then attached to the side chain? But that would create a double layer of chains for a short section.

    Hi Jens, Thanks for your reply. I managed to drain the oil by removing the bolt where the gearbox oil level is checked and using a small pump and also tilting the snow blower. Refilled through the same small hole with a small syringe with the snow blower placed on the side so the oil level hole...

    Berta Two Stage Snow Blower Auger gear box oil change

    Hi! I have bought an used Berta Two-stage snowblower cheaply. It is a bit rusted and have not been used for multiple years, so I need to try to do some maintenance before the winter. So far I have added grease to the grease-nipple for the chute rotating mechanism and also brushed off rust and...

    BCS 749 steering brakes barely do anything?

    Hi, I have a used BCS 740 with a Berta 33" flail mower. Handling the combo just by muscle for turning can be heavy on arms/wrists. After a long session I got severe pain in one of my wrists. Steering brakes of my used BCS 740 did nothing due to improper maintenance from the previous owner...
