I have had no cylinder problems yet only hoses and gaskets mostly but they shut you down for a while. What backhoe bucket do you have the Qk or pin on.
I believe it is the 16" Qk although I have never taken it off so not sure just how quick it really is. And yes, it took them a few weeks each time to get the part as no one stocks it. Luckily they were both in the first year of warranty, but now I'm worried it could happen again and be a big out of pocket setback.
Actually I sold the 4710 I have my own little side business that I use they tractors for along with their use at my house and our farm. The 110 is great all around but could really use a few more ponies under the hood. Do you have the belly plate for your machine?
I agree that it needs more power (maybe the next gen will get the new turbo engine from the new 4X20 series), but it has done a pretty good all-around job.
Yes, I have the underbelly plating as our area has lots of little saplings & pricker bushes that could get up in there and reek havoc when driving over them to brushhog.
That skid plate is the absolute best investment 525 dollars can get you. In order for them to get the new engines in they are going to have to some serious redesigning work. That is why it doesn't have the bigger 4710 engine and they went with the 4610 smaller block more room for pumps and whatever also that is why the battery is not under the hood plus it help with visibility. What problems have you experienced with your machine.
