    This will be an interesting thread moving forward......

    Where do I start ?! This thread has been an interesting read to say the least! Not sure how you have such patience but that must come with wrenching I know if I had to deal with the stupidity of half the crap I’ve read I would of probably hit the loonie bin. I’ve never read 30+ pages of one...

    850K

    From my understanding I got a D6n that runs a cb430 with gcs900 same system as my 750 with a 460 id try it and run diagnostics if it works it would save you about 10k on a new monitor

    Trimble earth works

    Had problems too mainly a gcs900/scs900 operator one thing I noticed is you have to upload your calibration files to your machine manually it’s not in the svd or svl files for designs

    John Deere 544p

    Got a new demo on the job anyone else use one of these on a road job ? We use komatsu 270s or cat 938s. I must say the John Deere has a cooled seat and a comfortable cab. Looking for some feedback before we agree to keep one. My operators hate it for some reason I love it.

It makes me able to get on the dozer and...
