mag6000 - That website is a very interesting find, thanks for sharing.:thumbsup Looking through the pictures you can't help but try an imagine each ones story and how they ended up abandoned in the bush. The interesting part is most of the machines, even in their state of disrepair, didn't seem to have some sort of catastrophic failure - other than all the missing parts of course.
I guess all the discussion about dealer service and parts availabilty means more than we appreciate.:cool2 And also gov't stablility.
I spent over a month in Kenya after graduating college in '95 and those pictures of the landscape bring back some memories.
When I was there manual labor was the way things were done. The folks I met didn't like alot of mechanized contraptions doing the job of several laborers - it was taking food off their table. Now it has been a while since I was there but that may explain one aspect of the otherwise salvagable machines at the time they were parked becoming abandoned. Just my thougths.
To get back on the topic - My vote is D7G with an arch winch.
