zero. But using the right tool for the job can save time and unnecessary wear and tear on the component. For example, one specialized hydraulic ripper designed for frozen ground can outproduce hydraulic hammers and static rippers by 10 times.
Make sure that your addons are adjusted to work at full efficiency as well. Follow recommended maintenance and cleaning requirements to avoid corrosion of exposed mechanical parts. Ensure that the cutting edges on the attachment are adjusted properly to ensure even contact across the surface in order to avoid unnecessary damage.
Prolonged exposure to the cold may adversely affect grease and hydraulic fluid,
making it less viscous and harder to pump. If your regular grease gets too cold, it may block the lines and make it impossible to push low-viscosity / low-temp grease into the lines.
When temperatures begin to rise again, change back to your normal fluid regimen to prevent low-viscosity fluid from damaging your components. Check the operating manual or ask your dealer about the best products and practices in your area and change these fluids before problems occur.
For storage of attachments, follow similar practices in the winter as you would in the summer. Make sure that they have a dry, protected area to be stored. Clean and degrease them. Repair or replace any
damaged components. Top off the lubricants and tighten any loose fittings. Protect exposed hydraulic cylinders with grease or a protective spray to prevent corrosion. Even a tiny bit of rust can cause pitting which will damage the cylinder seals and create leaks when the attachment starts to operate again.
Even though they may be designated as“ add-ons,” attachments are really the primary working components of the machinery— the“ business end,” so to speak. They require the same respect and care as the machine itself. Given the right attention, these humble extensions will continue to do the“ heavy lifting” for your mighty machinery for decades to come.
