    Advice on 8 Metric Ton Machine

    That is an excellent point and it has definitely crossed my mind. Run it like you stole it. I'll try and share some more photos of both machines. Looks like the 290 has better main hydraulic pump flow, but might be lower on the aux flow than the Cat. This might be significant if I plan on...

    Advice on 8 Metric Ton Machine

    Here are some pictures of the 308 undercarriage. Looks decent from my eye. Hard to tell on the bushings until I can actually get my hands on them.

    Advice on 8 Metric Ton Machine

    There's a dealer on the north side of richmond, but I don't know anyone that had dealt with them. Not sure if the seller is going to give me the straight scoop either. I'll give the dealer a call today and try and get a feel for what they might be like to deal with. The CAT dealer seams to be...

    Advice on 8 Metric Ton Machine

    I'll get you some pics in the morning. I suspect the TB290 was.moat likely a rental machine from United. The 308 isn't. Will initially be used for personal use, but would like to make a buck or two if the opportunity arises.

    Looking for some feedback/advice on which machine to buy. Initially will be using to clear/thin a pine stand, digging out old oak/gum stumps, loading out oak logs I harvest off the property to send to the mill or mill on site (have my own mill) and even assisting in some framing projects...

    CAT D4D Fuel Pump Leaking

    Got buddy that had a fuel pump leak around the throttle shaft of his injector pump on a D4D. No real side to side play, but some in and out. The local diesel shop that does pump work doesn't want to touch it. He has a call into the CAT dealer, but I suspect they will probably want an arm and...

    Cat D7F Feedback/Advise

    My best friend who has worked for Liberrer for a couple of decades ow since he got out. What an epic convoy. Damn truck broke a torque rod 2 different times. It was super sketchy especially with the truck being way overloaded with all of our tools. She was definitely squatting. Driving...

    Cat D7F Feedback/Advise

    You're awesome! Really appreciate it. I think I'm going to make up a binder with all of the resources that have been shared with me on this site. There was a time when I referred to military TM's on a regular basis. I'm sure it will come back to me once I start reading them. My only regret...
