I thought that the Deere backhoes still were deere, but that they made some for Bell in exchange for the ADT's... huh... I guess I'm with Rob and just don't know who makes what for who anymore. Is the boom not locked?
Hey burnout, ya got any more shots of the Kitty 365cLME?:notworthy
Thats an all Deere 310 there. What I was commenting on was the stick thats on it. There are 2 versions of the D series, old and new. The tractor and loader are the new version and so is the main boom. That stick is off an older 310D. The newer 310D's don't have that little peak at the top of the stick. If you look closely at the stick you will see its got the old John Deere yellow instead of that darker yellow they used for awhile in the 90's.
Quote;Burnout- Sorry i didnt get in touch with you! I have been crazy busy! What did the 550 hitachi and the daewoo long stick go for? I know most of that was Bianchi's old equipment before they went bust, and it was beat . I was also at the heavy equipment show on Friday it wasnt to bad, it was nice to see a shiney new 450d in doors
Yeah the show was pretty good. I was talkin to Jack Shewan from Nortrax about that 450. I like the Groenveld auto greaser on it, and that ESCO Bucket they had was sexy. I was surprised they didn't have more brand new equipment in there. The 450D, 844, 850J. 872G we all used units, and over in the Cat section the 430, 336 and D6 were all used machines.
I think I offended one of the salesman from Wajax on friday. I climbed in the JCB 3CX backhoe and the salesman came over climbed in for a second and first thing out of his mouth was "So how many do you want?". I told him None and thats when he asked me to point out what I didn't like. It took me 5 minutes to go over his product from slow stabilizers to crappy chrome stack. When I was done he walked away, didnt even tell me to enjoy the show.
