I think the technology has potential, especially for safety, but real job-site experience will tell us how useful it really is.

I have a 1993 Hitachi EX-120. After replacing some hoses, the hydraulic oil level looked low, so I added about 10 gallons. Now the oil is above the top of the sight glass. What could cause this?

Looking for the correct NH220 injector plunger travel (mm) and valve settings for a Komatsu D80-12A. If anyone has these specs or the shop manual, please share. Thanks!

Someone cut the wiring harness when the machine was stolen. I replaced the connectors and repaired the wires, but the machine still won't move. The engine starts, and the lights, horn, and A/C all work. Has anyone had this problem before? What should I check next?

I still use traditional surveying for final verification, but drones are excellent for tracking progress and calculating volumes.

I have a 2016 New Holland L218 skid steer that isn't charging the battery. I've already installed a new alternator, but it's still not charging. I'm still learning this machine and was wondering if there's an alternator fuse, relay, or fusible link that could be causing the problem. Any...

I'm working on a 1970s Case 570A and recently rebuilt the brake control valve with new internal parts and check valves. After reinstalling it and testing the machine, the gasket between the two valve body halves blew out. I'm trying to figure out if it's caused by excessive pressure, an...

Real-time alerts, geofencing, ignition notifications, and good mobile apps make a huge difference when you're trying to protect company trucks or equipment.

I came across a JD Deere 870G that doesn't appear to have the hydraulic counterweight removal system. I always thought those bigger 870G machines came standard with it, so now I'm curious if some were built without that option from the factory. Has anyone else seen this before?

Since you already did the minor adjustment, the problem is probably in the stepping motor or fuel pump calibration part.

I'm trying to track down an issue with the blade hydraulics. The blade will go down, but it doesn't seem to have enough pressure to actually lift the machine once it hits ground resistance. There's no strange noise, no visible leaks, and the hydraulics seem smooth otherwise. Has anybody run into...

Honestly, for used heavy equipment financing, I'd definitely recommend looking into Ritchie Bros. Financial Services (RBFS) too. What I’ve noticed is that RBFS can be especially helpful when buying through auctions because timing matters. Having financing lined up quickly can make a huge...

I'm troubleshooting a strange issue with the driver display unit on my Liebherr machine and I'm trying to avoid replacing the display before knowing for sure it's bad. Right now the problem seems to happen whenever I connect X724 pin 7. As soon as it's connected, the display starts acting up...

One common issue I keep seeing is bad grounds or corroded terminals causing weird intermittent no-start problems.

The inspection reports and startup videos usually give you way more confidence compared to random marketplace listings.

I'm having a fuel priming problem on my Caterpillar 304C CR. The machine has been bogging down under load for a while, so I thought it might be a fuel delivery issue. After checking the fuel filter and hand priming it, it won't start at all. I removed the filter and noticed that no fuel comes...

If you're planning to run it a lot, I definitely think you're on the right track looking for an 1800 RPM diesel unit.

Honestly, catching it early is the smart move If hydraulic oil is getting into the final drive, there's a good chance the drive motor seal is starting to fail.

I haven't used Xcira a ton myself, but from what I understand it's basically the tech behind a lot of the timed auction systems tied into RB Global. From what I've seen, people seem to like it because the bidding process is pretty straightforward and stable, especially for online-only auctions

Saw one sitting in the Ritchie Bros auction yard, and it caught my attention. From the photos, it looks pretty clean, but I do not know much about the CFG equipment in the long term. I'm mainly curious about reliability, parts availability, fuel efficiency, and how it performs under daily...
