    Just wondering if you got you tracks fixed yet?? All I would do is cut them off down to good metal to weld to and put some straight up and down 2" straps 1/2" thick on there and weld them good and maybe cover that weld with some hard surface.

    some more of the box spreader

    We have one of those here. We call them jersey spreaders and they are not worth the time the people took to build them. We use them to spread ag base on long two lane county roads sometimes and they are just a big headache!!! It's better to just spread it with a dozer.

    Ease & Longevity of Cat M series

    We got a new 120M, I am not the operator of it but my uncle is and we had it two weeks and the transmission went out! All we were doing was some final grading on a pad we were doing for EPA.

    New Komatsu dozer,the D51ex

    My company just bought me one and it is an awsome finish dozer radiator and oil cooler systems are in back so you can see more out the front! No blind spots even the exhaust pipe is hidden behind the door frame so it's not a blind spot.
