not much. over last few days saw signs of hyd oil on GC2400 (DL100 FEL) right side lift cylinder. was getting worried would have to invest 550$ after tax (and many week wait period) to replace cylinder.
last night I checked the rubber to manifold fittings on FEL itself. on blue line I got 1/16 turn on it.
beat hell out of FEL today splitting a (as of now) 20 cu yd compost pile into stuff thats been composting for a year vs fresh stuff from last 5 weeks.
basically curl up until rear wheels off ground, lift up until 2800rpm won't move you, do that for 30 minutes....and no signs of fluid anywhere.
whew...
I do stuff for free around me for neighbors as they donate to food banks. before I got this GC unit that involved me driving my car and trailer thru field for hay harvest (and in few my little 22hp craftsman tractor) to get stuff done. since got the GC I do hauling and tilling.
so in some way I have helped hundreds of lbs of berries, fresh eggs, vegetables been given to food banks for over 15 years.
good to go. nuff said.
edit: I said nuff said but want to say this. since I got the GC i can help those much more easily.
eg one family dealing with a long term hospice issue. they curtailed planting and were gonna curtail more. so I used my GC with woods 48.30 tiller to do stuff so they didn't have to use larger tractor/tiller to do stuff. fresh free range eggs delivered to food banks weekly.
good.
