Wrong tractor! TYM Backhoe issue or ??
What happens here
After completing the earthmoving tasks, the operator dismounts from the Gehl RT210 skid steer. He then uses a hammer to clean out the mud, dirt, and debris that has accumulated within the tracks and undercarriage of the machine. He explains that neglecting this maintenance can lead to overheating of the hydraulic motors. This is an essential step to ensure the longevity and proper functioning of the heavy equipment, especially after working in muddy or rocky conditions. He clarifies that the mini-tractor, while useful for small jobs, is not suitable for large-scale trenching in hard, rocky ground, emphasizing the need for a larger mini-excavator for such tasks.
Goal: Maintain equipment and review project progress
