How are the smaller ones holding up long term? They've been out long enough to show the start of problems. How do they perform in wet heavy woodlands clay.

K Tech's marketing is right up there with Anderson windows here in the United States.

We have experience with Miskin, Deere, Eject.

We are looking to switch out a pair of 17 yd Eject for a single K Tech behind a Challenger 965C on 1050 singles.

Saw some of the 40 yard ones with 740 cats being pushed by d10 .
I can't get the tire wear thing . 6 tires on the cat , 6 tires on the pan .
I get underfoot conditions but why not just use 37 or 57 push pulls ?

Currently we unhitch the second Eject 80% of the time as conditions are too wet or job sites are too small.

Cat self propelled are too heavy for our wet conditions. We have two TS14Gs

I hate struggling to load.Without a pusher those pans can only load light dry soil full.I watch these oversize pans operating with a struggling 5/8 load.

I really don't want a single one much larger than 26 yard for that reason.

We only have a D6 for a pusher some of the time

I love our 1228s behind Case 580s. Will put a new Deere pan to shame. The ktecs load so easy even in sandy soils.294713E2-797E-4D7D-9010-451FC7FE7BD0.jpeg
