I have 2 AC battery tenders & 2 solar battery tenders.<br>
<br>
I think I read somewhere that AC ones will eventually bring up a battery to full charge but will take a long time. <br>
<br>
A solar battery tender will only maintain a battery at its present level of charge. The battery should be fully charged before hooking up the solar charger.<br>
<br>
Am I correct on this?

Leak found----It would not leak operating the bucket---or just running for that matter. So I took it off the RR ties that I used to crawl under for inspection.
I then raised the machine up off the ground & ran the tracts in forward & reverse for a few minutes----Then went to the engine compartment for a look see-----Yup---- was leakin a steady drip from a conection on the hydraulic pump. I tightened it best I could with a 7/8" wrench which was a tad too big. That pretty much stopped the leak. Went to town & bought a 22mm wench & will go out & tighten more.

THANKS for the informative replies ;)

When all else fails----read the manual---( even the dealer couldn't tell me how to do this ).
In the manual it says-----

IMPLEMENT LOWERING LIMIT
The lower limit can be changed by adjusting the position of locker (A) on the interlock rod. Shifting the locker (A) backward raises the lower limit and shifting it forward lowers the lower limit.

I did this & it worked--

Well got some help the next day----makes it easier to have another person to run the controls. We got one new track on in bout 1/2 hr..
Now the other side is a diff. story----we could not get the old track off. We tried every thing---hooked chains to track & ATV etc, etc.. For more than 1 hr. we tried-----but it is still on there. I used the rig for days with out the track pumped up to the proper tension----it never came off. So it is gonna stay on as it is not in bad shape.
However I did see a video on YouTube bout how to remove a track using the bucket with a chain hooked to the track & rotating the track while the machine is on the ground--I tried this & I could see the track would clear the pulley wheel.
Thinkin I may have a problem getting the new track on I did not remove the old track---If some thing needs fixin it is almost impossible to get a mechanic out here-----
So till I figure out a way to get the new track on using the bucket with pulleys, chains etc. the old track will stay on.

Sorry bout the mix up KT & EW. I not allways see what my eyes see & my mind has a slow leak too. ¿¿
Now then---guess I did not post clearly before ---the fellow that put up those signs & the gate is a jerk from Florida---complains bout everything. Last one was complaining bout the forest service harvesting trees around here ( those went to good use )---but yet he went up on his property & bulldozed a big bunch of trees off the side of the mountain so he could have a view. Those tree are still laying on the ground---wasted. :-(
The fellow that took down the gate is a country boy from Tennesse.
Sorry for the mix up.

Thanks Guy's
I do have a manuual. I do know how to raise the machine as I have to raise it to move the tracks in to get across a narrow bridge. Cool feature huh.
I don't exactly know how long it takes to loose tension---But ptoper tension/gap should be 2.5" to 2.24".
Sure wish I could get that mechanic out here----Really hate asking twice---but may have to Arrrhhh!!!!

Question---has anyone ever heard of these skidding tongs coming loose and flying back and injuring/killing some one?<br>
Have a neighbor who I lent one of these. After using it he went to town to buy one. While in the store one of our town alcoholics was there. He told my neighbor these were very dangerous & could fly back if it came loose. So he bought a short cable instead ( I know a broke cable will fly & perhaps cut your head off)<br>
I tend to disagree with the alcoholic as my friend Paul --who has done much logging around here in these mountains since he was a big young boy ( as he would say )---he also disagrees.<br>
What ya all think ?<br>

You are quite rite bout pole saws auebach----Don't know what I was thinking (or was I EVEN thinking at all). Oh ya--chain saws---I have 3.
As for a ladder---well the tree is dead---one 10' top has already fell out. So putting a ladder on it is not a good idea. However I think I can get my excavator rite next to it----it has a very strong canopy ( can't remember what that is called---maybe FOPS ? )---I have stood on it before--just for the heck of it.
For now I think I will leave it be as I don't think the whole tree will fall over & I came across some birch & maple the power co. cut down along the road.
Thanks for info. ;)
