most things will run for years if you do the maintenance. that isnt the problem. the machine as a whole is the problem. use one of the new cats or even johne deere and youll never want to look at a case again. ferarri vs ford pinto. even the newer case stuff seems to be very antiquish

I 100% agree. Heavier than hell and damn near impossible to walk out of the deep mud compared to a deere.

I know the Deere skidders were always the best when we ran them with an unlocking front end and didn't have air brakes or a pickup transmission. Now the shovels are kind of junk same with cat but ours are conversions by Jewell Kobelco shovels fast smooth and cheap, next is Komatsu.

I have a small window tinting business I started about 6 yrs ago doing automotive, commercial and residential tinting. I enjoy it but it can be a headache sometimes.

Mitsubishi Cat is where most of them come from in mid sized like you would probably run. You can make them a lot better but it takes lots of time balancing pumps and messing with the negative flow, I would assume a Deere is the same way because the operating system is basically the same. They have changed the pump system on the recently (E or F series) but I'm not sure how much it changed the operating characteristics. They also have an EH now which they have labeled as a "Hybrid" and the swing system is ran partially off of accumulators. I have only been around one and haven't done much to it but I would assume the swing operation would be noticeably different operating. Most people I know say a Hitachi is the best hydraulic excavator on the market, higher cycle times ect, coal mines seem to prefer them over the large excavators and shovels like 5130s or 374s from Cat.

Nice Sky. My 4yo son just did his belt promotion routine last night. So fun watching the little one do it. A 10ish boy did a promotion using sais and my son said he is going to do it. I told him sure. Takes a lot of time and practice.

Top was exactly where it was suppose to be to miss a stump field just ahead the butt slid down on a log just ahead.

Soft face Dutchman allowing the butt to twist around with a small swinging Dutchman to bring it around a little more and so I don't have to pound wedges.

Kept in a nice tight lead.
