See east coast Case 580SV available with off set likes like a JCB
The utility company I retired from had a couple back in the late 1980s/early 1990s. No one wanted to operate them. They were not popular with the operators, but had their place. Parts were a bit of a problem because they are so uncommon in the USA.

Man @AU.CASE that's some nice looking dirt and beautiful landscape!
I went out and wrestled my busted hose off. Nothing like taking two hours to loosen two nuts (which really turned into four nuts, I hope I remember where the other big one goes). I think my hose repair shop is closed today, so it's off to mowing I go. Yay!

Nope! I'll pass on those plans. Big barn (by Vermont standards) collapsed a short time back. I theorized they were engineered exactly enough. Farmer runs into a brace, damages a few pieces, then a leak develops in the roof. An uninformed carpenter cuts in a door where no door was in the plan. There was a stiff wind, not unexpected, it collapsed. It isn't clear how many cows died. In the aftermath, numbers get vague, 30 died, 60 died, none died, hard to tell.

As I say, I haven't seen one. The upright stabilizers I haven't actually seen here either.
I have a number of manuals that cover them as an option. I'll guess they are available here, but rarely bought.

Dad had 315A around 76' it had early outriggers deployed from the bottom if needed pull the pin slide out 2' like a regular hoe foot print

315 series is unusual also, plenty of 310, A,B,C,D,...........The 315 isn't one I'm familiar with. The 300, 400, 500 were common also.

On YouTube neat video. 1959 JD film. Odd Deere started with vertical stabilizers change outriggers design twice
with the 1010 & 315a 315B on was back vertical stabilizers
with the 1010 & 315a 315B on was back vertical stabilizers

Thank you, yes the World is amazing and it has been a privilege to live here from birth, there is lots of wildlife and now lotsa ferals so the ag' side is tough now, with the weather pivoting from hot to cold x wet to dry so often.
We were in renewables but was blocked, we are high country (for Australia) at 750M ASL something that has been tough.
Yes, side shift in Australia, with this machine is EU make, it does have advantages, but yesterday I was a bit stuck (boss was amused - a little !
) at another really boggy dam, not much problem to hike up, on the boom and a few slate rocks later we move to the next port.
I'd reckon the extended stabilisers would be easier to read when they sink but you can't setup next to a structure, tyre wear can be obvious if the shift remains on one side, the opposite rear tends to wear faster as it slips more, so its roundabouts and swings perhaps.
I'm sorting my workshop and storing parts to protect them from Winter's monster rodents, we are remote and some items have to be on hand when the job is ready, the main one is engine oil and I'm glad I restocked our 44 at about $1120USD, might just be a "shade more" now.
I suppose its a habit but I use a Teflon additive in gear oil transmission (Nulon) and our dozer finals were clean after 1038Hrs, magnet barely visible detections, oil comes out cloudy though which can be alarming if not sure why; The Teflon does that to it !

New hose day yesterday for the one I blew out. The Parker store could not accommodate the 1" connection to the 3/4" line, so he asked if I wanted the whole thing at an inch, and I said sure. As he was ringing me up he said "yeah this hose is pretty expensive" and said yeah, I kind of expected that, thinking it was going to be 200 dollar hose. Turned out to be a 340 dollar hose. Yikes.
The store was in a new location, when I went in I asked if this was the store from River Rd. and he said "yeah, we moved maybe 2 and half, 3 years ago" which made me pretty happy that I hadn't busted a hose in at least that long.

Hydraulic lines were probably the biggest single expense when rebuilding my old beast, previous owners not really big on maintenance. Then I started working at the feed mill with a fleet of 28 auger trucks, everything runs on hydraulics. Every size of hose and fittings you could imagine. I could custom make them for cost. Made a couple spares, but the whole machine would have saved a bunch.

Replacing hoses is a way of life on the farm. I replaced (2) 1" drive hoses on a skid steer a couple weeks ago to the tune of $300/each. Today, I found one of those new hoses has a slow seep in the fitting. Down time to tear it out, see about a warranty replacement, then back together. About an hour after I got the skid steer done, I find a steering hose on one of our big tractors is in rough shape and we're about to start long days of tillage with this tractor. Back to the dealer I sit, waiting on another hose to be made.

Well, it's nice to hear I didn't get hosed too bad. My neighbor has a tree that was knocked over by the wind a couple weeks ago and asked for help getting rid of it. I'd like to do it tonight if I can, so a hose fixing I went last night. That thing was likely 3-4 inches too long, inflexible as can be, and it took everything I had (including tearing a pec muscle that had just started healing up after snatching my fat ol' dog up to carry her to the basement during a tornado warning) to get it attached.
I made the mistake of not really paying attention to the hose's routing on the way out so I went through the easiest hole I could. With the extra length of course that hole didn't work out, so I had to route it up higher over some other hoses and stuff, then after getting the hoe side attached I wrestled the crap out of the side under the cab, and I had to really jam it and twist it up as high in the undercarriage as I could. Got it all tightened up and no leaks but I only ran it for a few minutes, and didn't get it up to temp to see if it would leak. I'll keep an eye on it.
I was happy to see that I thought my oil still had some water in it but upon removing the hose the oil that came out looked pretty good.
I don't know how you all do it, doing regular maintenance work often on this equipment is rough on a fella.

Perfect reason to look for a used hose crimper. I was sick of paying 500% markup for hoses and now make a bit of money on the side.
That 1” line was probably 25 bucks to make.

I would have to stock so many fittings it wouldn't be worth it.
John Deere
Case
Komatsu
Bobcat
New Holland
and a myriad of various fittings for different implements.
Lots of sizes, JIC, ORFS, etc. The amount of inventory I would have to carry negates the value when I have a dealer 5 minutes from our farm. A bit further, is two, really good, fully stocked hydraulic shops. The hydraulic shops are cheaper to have hoses made than the dealer, but one is 25 minutes away and the other is 20 minutes. Plus every NAPA nearby and a couple other repair shops make hoses as well.
We looked into it at one point and the numbers didn't make sense to do it.
