I do love chainsaws though. I have rebuilt many stihls as a hobby, and still have a few, and love to cut when I get a chance.

Don't be shy about your occupation. At least you have a job. Many out there don't or won't go to work.

I work at a Cat dealer and I have noticed two funny little dozers in these pictures that I have seen at work recently, the little Komatsu and the logging dozer in one of the Oregon pictures. The Komatsu looks funny because of its shape compared to what I am used to seeing a finish dozer look like and the one in Oregon has whatever that odd undercarriage arrangement is on it that makes the tracks like a triangle. We have a few small logging companies around work and one of them actually has one of those machines and it still has decals on it from the Cat dealer it came from in Oregon.

Odd triangle? You meaning the high track dozer? That should be common if you work for cat 6n 6t n up all those series are all high tracks.

That style high is different too with the sprocket placement for better weight distribution when pulling turn unlike a standard set up that would be standing up or be stuck on stumps all the time. Even our shovels are high walkers you can almost walk under the undercarriage.

The picture is on page 3, you have to look at it closely to see that the roller frame is almost or is centered with the final drive. The one we had in was like a D4H with the same type of arrangement the one in the picture has, grapple and the different roller frames.
