I would assume the hyd motor problem is due to SCVs being shut off vs put in "float" position? If so, then running the return lines in to 0 back pressure couplings in the rear end would solve that problem? Or, is the problem due to something else? I've talked to a Chandler owner that had NO problem w/hyd drive. I've talked to JD owners (New Leader units) w/pto drives that had motor seals go out. But this was due to the fact that their motors are under the pans...just like all the NL spreaders. I thought the Chandler & BBI had same width belt over chain. Is that wrong? |
