We actually participated in winter this year with a full week of this including snow. Only problem is we have 20 ton Air Conditioners and 5 watt heaters, Good thing it will be back in the 70's Monday
My CAT Dozer draws 60 amps on a long crank with 2/0 cables
I cannot get a reading on the 8.3 as it fires right up as soon as the starter engages. Apparently the high/low setting on meter is not working.
If you are drawing enough to worry about burning out a switch you need to look at your...
It is a flush mount switch but I cut a hole out of the battery box and just put the front housing through to minimize visibility. I will tape it off and paint it to match the box and hopefully it will almost disappear. Also with it being through the cut hole it allows outside access to the keyed...
Went on a camping trip in Ocala National Forest. Lots of trail riding and wildlife, Could not get the camera out quick enough to get the bears but they were healthy

Changed the fuel filters and got a new belt, Had no idea the belt tensioner pulley was touching the back of the water pump clutch
Also installed a couple of cameras to aid in the gracefulness of its maneuverability
I am not so much OEM but what is going to work best for the price. I was looking at linear actuators but the safety factor will not work. What I really want is a Lodar wireless control for hydraulics, A 4 function control is $900 though so I can handle using the cab controls for now until I come...

What a terrible loss, I cannot even imagine ever having to go through that. I lost my Father in an accident in 07 and I still pick up the phone to call Him sometimes, like when I got my first 5 ton.
These trucks are a great get away and I always "forget" my phone inside while I am out working...

Have used them several times. They ship from store to store. It took 6 days to get my last shipment. They are not going to bring it to your place and you need to call your local location about dropping off or picking up.
Local to me CL ad has dropped price to $700 for 800 series winch setup.

If someone needs it I could go and look at it to verify and pickup if they paid for it and hold until a show or shipping is arranged.
