David Young, product marketing manager, excavators, North and South America with John Deere and Hitachi, calls attention to the three-pump system on the 245G LC and ZX245USLC-6. The third pump is assigned to swing function. “Swing cannibalizes the hydraulics on two-pump systems and can become the limiting factor in performance, especially if the machine is on a grade or slope.” Both are 25-metric ton, reduced-tailswing machines; 30-ton models will launch in April.

“The attachments give rental store customers flexibility to accomplish multiple tasks without having to break the bank and allows rental stores to expand their offerings,” he says.

With the price tag of new bikes hovering around $10,000 these days, taking the time to properly prepare it for its maiden voyage in the dirt is more important than ever. New machines are assembled at the factory with the properly specified amounts of grease, lube, and oils, but in most cases, this isn’t enough to ensure the long-term durability of your shiny new bike. Our friend Ryan Collins is a factory technician at Kawasaki Motors, and with past Monster Energy Kawasaki race team and Team Green experience, he’s a wealth of knowledge when it comes down to properly prepping a new bike. Collins insisted that when taking delivery of a new motocross bike, the six following maintenance tips are imperative to ensure your bike’s longevity.

I was worried that late takedown would muddy the waters, good on those judges. Gadelha should try out flyweight, her gas tank at strawweight always seems to die at the seven minute mark. No interview for Ansaroff as we’re out of broadcast time.

While the Shark Tooth eliminates the need for a stump grinder, this is a non-issue for Thompson since they burn brush piles.

Heavy rain further complicated matters.

A small segment of highlights from Holloway’s performance. I can’t believe Ortega took all of this offense and never fell over.

The last minute of the bout, when everyone jumped in and broke up finishers, was excellent. The preceding ten minutes was kind of a mindless brawl. 

Many of these can be fabricated in your shop, but those manufactured by companies specializing in rental storage solutions have been designed and engineered for safety, proper strength and stability. 

The Skinny: “It was simple and amazing! Really great meal, their food is vegetable-focused — and though I’m far from a vegetarian, it’s nice to eat a great veg-forward meal. It was a great meal from start to finish, and we enjoyed the atmosphere and music. I went with my wife to celebrate our wedding anniversary.”

John Deere’s PF45 and PF60 severe-duty pallet forks for skid steers, compact wheel loaders and compact track loaders offer improved visibility, increased capacity and better durability than previous designs, the company says.
