Thanks for the advice and the chuckle Catmandoo. I also recently bought a 64,000 pound excavator. I'm quick to admit that I am not proficient. But Lord willing I will be fairly Efficient soon. ......... I've had more fun running large track loaders than any other equipment I've ever run. I had a John Deere 750 series ll last fall. It only had 900 hours on it when it was totaled by a fire. 180 horse 50,000 pounds will push out a big tree. I did not have a good experience with my insurance company.
Dave, I told my wife it's not hard to make a 40 or $50,000 mistake buying a dozer. This machine had $50,000 spent on it in the last 500 hours It has just over 4000 hours on it.
