When I started out, I leased a skid steer because cash flow was tight. Honestly, it saved me. Lower upfront, quick approval, and I was back on the job in a couple days
In my case, that "flapping" sound ended up being a loose or partially broken internal baffle in the muffler. At idle, it sounded normal, but once I throttled up, the exhaust flow made it flutter like a tin sheet. No codes, no power loss, just an annoying noise.
I’ve got a 2020 Doosan excavator, and the plate below the cab is too beat up to read. I am wondering if there’s a legit way to get a replacement from the dealer or manufacturer?
From what I’ve seen, it’s basically comparing your rates and utilization against similar fleets in your area, so you can spot if you’re underpricing or missing out on demand
Had something similar on a 400S before adn turned out to be a worn wire in the harness that only lost contact at full height, so definitely worth checking those flex points closely
