Is this the right board for talking about mini excavators? These things are flooding the market and I want one so badAre they any good?
>>28704531CAT is a international corporation, they make stuff everywhere. Most of their backhoes are made in Brazil. But the larger machines like dozers and scrapers are still made in the US. I am not aware of anything made by CAT built in India, they make some small cast parts, but I rarely see any "made in India" stuff on any of the CAT machines I work on or operate. Go ahead and prove me wrong though, always looking to learn.
>>28705893Well what are you towing it with? A 1/2 ton?Even then I wouldn't worry about it, just park it 90% over the trailer axles with a slight forward bias, then use dozer blade or arm to distribute the weight as you want it. Take it slow the first trip out, increase speed slowly, if you end up fishtailing the trailer slow down and come to a stop and readjust load more forward, just remember you want the trailer to carry the weight, not the truck.
>>28704521>You can do 1 thing at a time with cheap Chinese shitwat?
>>28706040Solid advice
>>28707575I think he means one function at a time because the gasoline engine loads up and bogs down if you put too much strain on the motor from the hydraulic pump if you use more than one at once. Like stick out and bucket curl at the same time, or counter rotating the tracks. More reason to go diesel.
What does it actually do?Why isn't it included as standard?I want new XC90 with true AWD (B5 mhev) but it's sluggish as fuck by default. Will Polestar Engineered upgrade make it more in line with German cars?
///M for BMWWhat does it actually do?Why isn't it included as standard?How do you even have money considering how dumb you are OP?
>>28707642M/AMG/S are different models that have different engines in comparison to regular models. Polestar is software - so how much few lines of code can actually change regular Volvo shitbox?If regular B5 has 250hp and pushes XC90 0-100km/h in 8 seconds, then what is performance of literally same car, just with Polestar installed? Does it unlock some horsepower? Does it remove 180km'h speed limitation?Anybody has access to some specific data?
>>28707660Normally that's true of Polestar, too. Even after they went EV, some polestars have dual motors when the normal has one.I didn't realize there was a "Polestar upgrade," not just Polestar models (didn't care). Apparently it's like an aftermarket tune (increased throttle response, automatic will shift later), but it also sends more power to the rear on the AWD XC90. I just googled a bunch, apparently it does increase torque and power while reducing the 0-60 but I can't find specifics on your model.It's a reasonable price compared to an aftermarket tune and keeps the warranty.
>>28707660Polestar website gives power and torque specs for all of their official tunes.
>>28707637Lol what the fuck is a Volvo, didn't they get bought out by the Chinese or indians? Why would you buy one when there are so many other manufacturers to chose from?

In my shop everyone gets the finest NTN or PFI bearings except Hondas. Hondas get the FAG bearings.
>>28708814they're made in china now, went to shit
Except for idlers and tensioners... those get the highest quality Chinese 6203 bearings you can buy off e-bay for $0.54 a piece...
f.a.g. probably has the best bearings in the world
>>28709019they've had plants in china for 30 years among 7 other countries including the US. go bed grandpa
>>28708804USA timkin for me.>>28709019Depends on what you are buying.Their tapered roller bearings are all USA or Poland made for my set 3/6 stuff.

Why does every car come with satellite but not satellite internet?
I experianced xm and i think its kindof shit, can only imagine it's like spotify but the free version exept it costs money.I only fuck with downloading all my music and making my own playlists off my phone or usb sticks.I refuse to listen to ads.the variety of xm kindof sucks like for example most channels are usually a sortof topic channel, so say for example you have an artist with like 30 fucking songs.they're mostly going to play the worst of those 30 songs 90% of the time, it is such a drag.if you fucking refuse to do the right thing and collect your own fucking music and listen to it without ads or requiring mobile wifi then atleast don't pay a subscription for this mediocre ass shit.

>>28707729He was actually a bit older than me... I am 24 and relatively fresh in my position, he is 29.>>28707482I mean, you are this board's lolcow, but German cars are another story and it depends on the make. It depends country by country, really.For example, I would say that the 2000s and 2010s were pretty good for British cars too, just not as good as the previous times. Consider it a silver age.>>28707729This I can get behind.>>28708252I think that they could be, but people want bigger cars, which is why they are bloated and loaded with safety systems. They want to compensate for Newton's Second Law, it seems (also a reason why I think that Reliant had a good idea concerning body construction when it came to weight).
>>28699347Of all the cars that came out of Linwood you choose the Imp?Really?Humber and Singer and the Imp wasn't the only Hillman model.Lets not forget the Volvo P1800 which were created there and assembled in Sweden.The Imp was small, smelly, noisy, hot and uncomfortable.The aluminium engine was shite in a traffic jam, unless you like your head warped.The Stiletto was kinda funky though, kinda like a squished Ford Consul Capri
>>28708724>all the cars that came out of LinwoodSo, the Imp, Avenger and Sunbeam? Those Scots were the reason why the Imp failed to sell in large numbers to begin with. The Imp I was a pretty good car riddled with poor production quality due to its government-mandated hyperconvoluted manufacturing process.I'd say the Imp was a good car, maybe even better than the Mini if not for the fact it actually had synchromesh on all four gears. Also, being small is a bit of a weird complaint for a car which was squarely aimed to compete with the Mini.
1998 Mercedes AMG C430£550, yes FIVE HUNDRED AND FIFTY OF OUR PEDO KING'S QUIDS, needs brake lines replaced for MOT (inspection), no other advisories.YES OR NO?And why?Pic related, not the actual vehicle in question, but identical.
>>28708622At 550 pedo bucks you honestly can’t go wrong, if it’s FUBAR the scrap yard will probably give you that much
>>28708622If that's the actual extent of why it failed mot then yeah sure get it and do the brake lines.
considering that a similar one would probably cost at least 5000€ here, at 550£ I would buy it even if it requires a lot of work
Yeah. Don’t even bother fixing anything with it. Tart it up and have some instagram doylem “detail” it. Then put it on a white background and stick the price at £25,000

I want a reliable hatchback with a manual gearbox. What are my options in the big 25?
>>28708983The stock wheels on the Hyundai Getz GL are these shitty steelies which are 175/65 R14 so I replaced them with 205/40 R17 to provide me with more cornering traction. Plus the larger contact patch increased braking performance given that the Hyundai Getz GL doesn't have ABS.>sports carWhat causes brown people to consider a hatchback to be a "sports car"?
>>28709390Why would you put heavier wheels on your car? Rotating weight is the worst kind of weight.
>>28709397Because I favoured traction over power-to-weight to carry speed through corners. The Hyundai Getz GL is never going to beat anything in a straight line drag race so if I can carry momentum through corners while inducing lift-off oversteer I can have more fun because more fun can be had when cornering than simply smashing the go pedal in a straight line.
>>28707878Mitsubishi Mirage, fits you perfectly.
