    New Holland Lx885... my new toy

    You should not need a block heater it should have a heater built in, when it`s cold all you have to do is turn the key on and it should start counting down in the display and when it gets to zero it will beep then you start the machine.

    279C or TL250

    The CAT will climb hills better, with the dual level suspension it contours to the uneven ground to grip better and the track tread pattern has more traction than what is used on the Tak, You wouldn`t think so but it does. I have a 297C and horsepower has never been an issue, I use mine for...

    What would be your next tracked skiddy(8k-10k size) purchase be?

    They hold up fine, but you have to use a little common sense such as not using them for demo work or on rock all the time. If you stay mostly in dirt they will last a long time. My machine had 2400hrs on it when I traded it, still had all original rollers and metal roller sleeves on the...
