I'm also curious about these machines... Has anyone used one for demolition or an other severe duty application?

I think this what your asking. a case 9030 is a linkbelt LS2800CII, a case 9030B -linkbelt LS2800 Quantum, the 210 is both the same
 
I worked for a Case dealer we also sold Link belt. I really liked link belts. Their support was a little better than case. We also sold kobelco and I think LBX and case was just as good.

You must be looking at the X3? They are sweet machines. All my stuff is smaller and I tend to prefer the Lx's to the X2's and 3's. It is getting impossible to find a low hour Lx. I don't know what you are running now but I have never had a major mechanical on either of mine and one has 9000 hours and the other 6000.

Good Luck, I will be following to see what you end up with.

It will be on a concrete pile/ recycling yard and don't need the flotation. the wide pad's reek havoc on the rails from climbing on the hard uneven surface. just like you wouldn't use an LGP dozer in a rock ripping application
