    Clearing 20+ac. grub or mulch?

    I'd like to make a pasture out of wood's that has always been woods. I had envisioned just grubbing everything and win rowing the larger rocks (that I have a ton of).

    Cat 951C books

    I was digging through some of my old stuff and found a set of Catrepillar "books" for my old loader. I thought I'd offer them here before I threw them on flebay.

    Perkins/PT 100 turbo gone @ 600hrs.

    This is for a good buddy of mine, he (see title) but is out of warranty as far as time goes. He is the orig owner & I don't know if he's been in touch with the dealer. I occasionally see posts here about Perkins, but at the time, I was not aware of his trroubles, & did not read them. Is there...

    automation good?

    I'm new to paver automation, this week I attended a "class" by the Topcon guy. Then we did a little playing with some stone dust through the paver with a 27'? non contact ski with 4 sonic trackers on a Cat AP1000.

    Ever seen a SS "tooth bucket" like this?

    I built this bucket a few years ago, because I really miss having the corner tooth like on a track loader.I have never seen a "factory" bucket like this offered for a skid steer. I have had a few guys want to know where to find one factory made. Building one bucket at a time is too expensive (to...

    Anybody with Kubota's new CTL?

    I have had the brochure by the "throne" for a while, and actually read it lately. It looks like it comes with some nice features and good specs. Any real "in the dirt" feedback out there?

    Cat's joysticks

    Got a chance to help a friend today and run a little Cat 257 CTL (I think) and the (left) tractor control seemed to be not directly connected to the response that I got out of it. In other words it seemed that it would kinda stall the tracks rather than, (what I'm used to) stalling the motor...

    Any big Gehl (7600/7800) guys out there?

    My boom is getting kinda sloppy on my 7800. Wondering if it's usually pins and bushings or the bushings only, I know that Gehl doesn't call them bushings but you know what I mean. Is it a hateful job? Thanks for any help.:usa
