    Worst stuck pics

    Not my best performance ever, but the only one I have pictures of. I was mulching along the property line, and had already been through the area twice with no indication of a softspot. On the way back out, the machine just dropped on the left side to about a 35 degree angle (makes for a pretty...

    ASV air conditioning failure, and a cheap(er) fix...

    I've seen numerous posts about folks having trouble with the air conditioning on ASV CTLs, but have yet to see anyone post a "here's what was broke, here's how I fixed it" on this topic. Shortly after putting the RC100 to work, the A/C went from blowing cold and strong to blowing weakly out of...

    New old mulcher up an running!

    Finally got to spend a little more time with the machine. I've had to shut down for some adjustments and repairs here and there, but mostly just loose connections or the occasional blown o-ring. Getting used to the mulcher head took a little time (mostly to get the angle right so I quit...

    New old mulcher up an running!

    Heres a couple more pics of the same areas after another hour or so. another area where I started mulching up a brush pile I'll get some "before" pics next time (although these may be them as I move further back in the woods). It'll be a little while before I get back after it, as I have...

    New old mulcher up an running!

    A few months ago, we started looking into having a forestry mulcher come in and open up our property lines and do some clearing on our property. We had a lot of trouble nailing down prices other than dollars per day and how many days they thought it would take (note that the total scope of work...

    ASV RC100 questions

    I recently purchased an RC-100 (pre-Terex model) overall in great shape. Before really putting it to work, I'm going through the machine and giving it a thorough once-over. I got all the ASV tech bulletins that apply to the machine and am making sure those items are up to date, and undoing...

    Recommended hose length RC100 to magnum mulcher

    Well, I guess I'll just get downright elementary with this question.... The magnum mulcher I bought is going to be used on an ASV RC100. The installed hose lengths are erratic (some patched and coupled together) and the hoses for the deflector door were removed (the previous owner didn't use...

    Garden Hiller

    Seeing all the cool stuff everyone has built on here, I had to at least throw one of my projects in the mix (I believe it's the only one I have pictures handy for). After we planted the garden the first time this year, it rained just enough every few days that the seed basically rotted in the...

    Hydraulic motor identification

    Afternoon, folks, long time lurker and finally came up with a question that I couldn't find the answer to posted here somewhere! I recently acquired a very well used Magnum 165-5 (original magnum systems, inc version) that is still in very serviceable condition. Not planning to make a living...

    New member, glad to be here!

    Been lurking around here a long time, often getting my questions answered and learning new things just by seeing what's already posted. Great forum with lots of great folks and information; figured it was time to dig a bit deeper and maybe contribute to the conversation. -Dan
