The specially treated fabric cover extends the life of Gates Xtreme V-Force Mega V-belts, protecting the cord and rubber from abrasion. This is vital for tractors and harvesters, which are constantly being exposed to dirt and debris. A wide operating temperature range — -40°F to 266°F (-40°C to 130°C) — ensures year-round performance in all weather conditions. Improved load-carrying capacity means fewer belts necessary to do the job, enabling the design of narrower, more compact drives.

Excavators are one of the most common machines found on a job site. Their popularity is due to their variety of classes and the versatility of jobs they can accomplish. Different classes of excavators provide different advantages depending on your construction needs, work environment and job size. Long-reach excavators that include a boom and an arm, beneficial for work over a river or lake, have different advantages than hydraulic shovels, commonly used for mining, lifting and moving heavy objects. The sizes of excavators also vary. Large excavators weigh over 45 tons compared to mini excavators, typically 6 tons or less.
Excavators have several different attachments that allow the machine to perform various tasks. Buckets, clamps, augers, breakers and couplers are some of the most common attachments found on excavators. Depending on the attachment, excavators can be used for digging, moving debris, lifting, etc. Due to their importance, any problems affecting your excavators may cause delays and downtime.
Preventive maintenance is a strategy used to prevent unexpected breakdowns. Failing to keep up with preventive maintenance is the leading cause of downtime. The average cost of downtime for a machine is $448 to $760 per day. Shipping could take weeks, depending on the availability of your part, which means downtime could cost you up to thousands of dollars. Practicing and implementing a preventive maintenance strategy is one way to avoid the costs associated with downtime. A good preventive maintenance strategy also maximizes the lifespan of your excavator by allowing fewer issues within critical operations, making your machine safer to operate.

Anticipating failures or breakdowns before they occur allows your operators to stay one step ahead. Keeping preventive maintenance parts for your excavator on hand helps avoid waiting on spare preventive maintenance parts to be delivered, delaying productivity. Instead of waiting for a replacement part to come in the mail, your machine can be back up in no time if you already have the parts.
The most common excavator components that will need to be replaced include air filters, belts, seals, hoses, hydraulic filters, fuel filters, bucket teeth and oil filters. Specific excavator model manuals, like Takeuchi, have a stock list of what parts need replacing frequently.
Environmental elements greatly affect how frequently your parts need to be replaced.
Your machine’s manual contains recommended maintenance hours, but your environment can supersede these recommendations. Depending on if your environment has freezing temperatures, muddy terrain or any other extreme elements, you may have to switch out parts more often.
Air filters trap particles and prevent them from reaching your machine's engine. There are two parts to an air filter: an inner and an outer filter. The inner filter sits inside the outer filter. The outer filter acts as a first pass to filter out most large, airborne particles. The inner filter is a last resort to ensure no stray particles reach the engine. Outer filters are typically replaced more often than inner filters. Some signs your air filters may need to be replaced are reduced engine performance, poor fuel efficiency, engine misfires, unusual engine noises and warning lights. Most manufacturers recommend referring to a filter gauge to determine if your air filter needs to be replaced and regularly monitoring them to be sure there are no issues. Your excavator's service manual should include details on how often you should replace your filters. New air filter prices vary from $15 to $150.
Hydraulic filters remove contaminants from the hydraulic fluid. If the fluid becomes contaminated, the components of your excavator's hydraulic system may begin to break down. One common sign there is an issue with the hydraulic system is a loss of power to the excavator or its attachments. Other symptoms your hydraulic filter needs to be replaced are decreased flow rate, drops in pressure, unusual noises, sluggish machine performance and hydraulic leaks. Replacement frequency varies depending on your excavator's make and model, but most hydraulic filters must be changed every 1,000 hours. Check your excavator's service manual about when your model's hydraulic filters must be replaced. New hydraulic filter prices vary from $10 to $150 depending on your excavator's make and model.
Oil filters purify oil from contaminated particles that may degrade the components of your machine's engine. Debris and sediments entering the engine oil can cause irreversible wear. Your oil filter may need replacing if your machine loses power, you can hear a knocking sound coming from the engine or there is a loss in oil pressure. Most manufacturers recommend changing your excavator's oil filter every 250-500 hours or at least once per year. Your machine's service manual will give the specific oil filter replacement intervals for your excavator. New oil filter prices vary from $15 to $60 depending on your excavator's make and model.
Fuel filters purify fuel from particles, like sand, before it gets to the engine. If your machine hesitates or sputters, it may be time to replace the fuel filter. Other common issues that may mean your filter is ready to be replaced are damaged fuel pumps, poor engine performance and a misfiring engine. Changing your fuel filter at least once a year is considered standard. Your machine's service manual should also include specific intervals when to replace your fuel filters. New fuel filter prices vary from $15 and $70 depending on your excavator's make and model.
Belts are important for the performance of engines and hydraulic systems. They transfer power between parts of the engine to various systems throughout the machine. Most engine belts belong to one of four categories: v-belts, serpentine belts, air conditioning belts and fan belts. Symptoms your belts may need to be replaced include visible signs of wear or damage, squeaking noises while equipment runs, reduced power output or struggling performance. If your AC belt breaks down, your AC will stop working. If your serpentine belt breaks, your entire machine will shut down. High heat can damage the elasticity of rubber belts and will cause them to slope. You should inspect your belts whenever you perform preventive maintenance tasks and during extreme environmental elements. Prices for new belts vary from $25 to several hundred dollars, depending on the type you’re purchasing.
Seals are essential for sealing two surfaces and preventing damage to your machine from fluid and gas leaks. Two of the most common types of seals are gaskets and o-rings, which can be found in hydraulic systems, engine components, pipe connections, etc. Seals that are not air-tight or liquid-tight can become damaged by wear, high pressure and heat erosion. Due to the nature of seals' jobs, they can be damaged easily. Depending on where your seal is, it can cause catastrophic engine failure. When performing other preventive maintenance tasks, you should inspect your seals to prevent any issues. Depending on the type of seal, prices can vary from $1 to $100.
Hoses are important for your excavator's fuel and hydraulic components to work correctly. Hoses can be damaged from regular deterioration, vibration damage, a lack of maintenance or improper installation. Damaged hoses could lead to overheating, engine misfires and stalling. Inspect your excavator's hoses for any tears or crushing whenever you perform preventive maintenance tasks. If your hydraulic hose breaks, your hydraulics will begin to spray everywhere, and your joysticks will cease to work. Coolant can be spotted under the machine if your radiator hose breaks, and if left untreated, this can overheat and blow the engine. Hoses can last anywhere from one to four years, depending on their job. For specific models, refer to your machine's service manual to see how often each hose needs to be replaced. New hoses can vary from $6 to several hundred dollars, depending on your purchasing type.
Bucket teeth are heavy-duty spikes attached to your excavator’s bucket attachment. How long your bucket teeth last depends on how you use your machine and the harshness of the soil of your job site. Bucket teeth can become worn down, dull or loose, and it is important to inspect your bucket teeth whenever you conduct your daily walk-around. Depending on your purchasing type, new bucket teeth can vary from $10 to $250.
