    New Caterpillar D7E - Opinions?

    My thoughts exactly Around here the D7 doesn't get much action. If they build a D8 capable machine in a smaller package then they are mony ahead. It also provides a huge BETA test for the technology, and some customer training. Then the rest will follow.

    Largest Caterpillar Sidebooms

    I wonder if they don't have ROPs for two reasons. 1. are they classified as cranes instead of earthmovers? 2. there might not be a strong enough structure in place hold the entire weight of the machine, counter weights included, or the structure required to hold that weight would be to...

    Hyd. Problems with a D4H

    allot of guys build solid links to pin on when pushing timber. Also make sure you torque the bolt, too tight is as bad as not tight enough.

    pressing in bushings, what do the pros use

    if you can ever get a hollow ram for a port-a-power then use a large grade 8 or better all thread and pull them in. We use the dry ice method at our store but the bigger shops use Nitrogen. Be careful what ice chest you use because the dry ice will ruin them sometimes. I have used LPG...
