    Yes, other than the big 1/2" drive loosening up at the head they have been perfect. Oreillys said the will warrantee it if it breaks. I haven't seen a long 1/4" drive I will mention it to my rep. I already started using the Titan, a non-running leaf blower that just came in and it is really handy being able to break a bolt loose and then use it as a nut driver. Thanks for watching.

    I work at a small family owned scrapyard and we use a PC180LC-8 as our magnet. We also have a PC200 with a demolition grapple, a PC270 with a big Genesis shear, a PC210 with a 4 finger Bateman grapple, and we have a Fuchs 340 scrap handler with a Builtrite grapple. I prefer the Komatsu stuff a lot more than the Fuchs. That thing is like a spaceship. Oh, we also have a WA250 wheel loader on solid tires too. The Komatsu stuff is just plain solid. Well built and engineered, and decently easy to work on. The Builtrite grapple has been nothing but headache after headache. They have warrantied every one of the finger cylinders at least once due to failed welds. Now just this past week, it has blown the gland end completely off of one of the cylinder barrels.

  • @petescustomcarshop

    That's cool you have a lot of machines. What type or brand is your magnet controller? The last family owned yard that I knew of around my neck of the woods just closed down he was of retirement age but he was in the city and they have been trying to force him out for years. The rest of them Alters have bought them all out.

  • @robertschemonia5617
    @robertschemonia56174 күн бұрын

    @petescustomcarshop it's a Bateman solid state hydrodrive generator/controller. It's got a display screen control panel thing inside the cab that you can adjust the cycle times on and demag cycles and stuff. It works great. It's been on the machine for 3 years and has had zero downtime. Other than a dummy operator pulling or pinching the wires at the magnet. When that happens, the generator will not energize the lead to the magnet until it's fixed. It does a self test every time you energize the magnet. If the current draw gets too high from the coil in the magnet getting hot, it will reduce its output current to half, and if the resistance doesn't go back to normal, the controller won't energize the magnet. The little control panel will show an orange, then red warning light, then display the error and actually says why it isn't working. I'll see if I can find a link to a brochure or literature on it and post it here.

    Usually a grinding noise when you are turning is a bad wheel bearing. If you are turning right it would be the left one that is bad. Just jack up the front and see if you feel any play.
