    Lever steer, finger tip or diff steer

    I prefer the Diff steer in a pushing machine because you always have power to the tracks and you don't dig yourself into a hole like you can with a tractor with narrow tracks and alot of weight plus it is easier to handle a roller in my opinion backing up.

    Largest dozer?

    The 10 T has a stack that as it comes out of the engine compartment almost doubles in width and then as it gets to the top it narrows back up I was told it was for emissions. The 10r's they have are single turbo one stack and look just like the v12's in a 9L. I am going to attempt to further...

I have been a Union member of 101 for 12 years and was in 841 where I did my apprenticeship for 3. I would not have it any other way the...

We had a 980h for charging and asphalt plant and it was a nice...
