Running a Hydraulic Machine in the House
 

Just wondering if any of you have the courage to run a hydraulic machine such as a wheel loader or tele-handler in your house? I know from the real ones, sooner or later you’re going to have a leak. Curious to hear your experiences.

I run my 360L excavator in the house all the time..never leaks.
Old 4200 model did drip and leak a bit.

slows leaks no problem
If a hose blows off that could pose a serious problem

IF i had anything hydro, i might want to keep some Oil Dry diapers around while running it in case something went wrong. Maybe store it on something waterproof with a lip. But you also aren't using Gallons of oil.

For the time being I drive all mine from the bedroom to the other side of the house. Not including a pressure adjustment knob that flew with some oil i havent had any issues. House is tile though. Still not great for anything. I do run a skid steer less then I should, it's got rubber tracks and does great. 946 was also a regular until it got dirty and blew multiple hoses
