    John Deere 605c

    You need to go and look at the metal plate where the serial number is. The 605, 655, 755, 950 and 1050 are made by Liebherr but have Deere engines. Deere was to start production of their own crawlers this year but I think they still have plenty in stock. Liebherr is selling the 614 (605), 624...

    John Deere 950J vs. Cat D7R Waste handlers

    I don't want to sound negative, but all I have heard is personal preference not facts. The comment about the hydrostatic being exspensive can be argued with the parts of the torque converter. If I was going to buy, I would at least ask for a demo of standard units that I could do some...

    Deere Lock-Up Torque Converter Blows 4-Spd Away

    I heard that Liebherr uses the hydrostatic drive for all their wheel loaders as well a dozers and crawler loaders. I have read that the industry trend is going that way. Why don't you hear more about the Liebherr's fuel savings if they are as productive as the other brands?

    New Deere Track Loaders

    Check the plates. It is still a Liebherr. The only difference is the engine and the paint. The 755 is the 634. Check it out.

    Equipment life

    Wow! Did I hit the jack pot. I forgot to mention that we were also disussing the new tier 4 regs, multiple computers as well as the new crop of operators. The so called "nintendo" generation. That had alot to do with the idea of moving equipment earlier to keep the gameboys productive as...

    Who would like to see the "C" version of the 943 Caterpillar Loader?

    I had the salesman send me te article for the loaders. Liebherr makes the 605, 655 and 755 as well as the 950 and 1050 for Deere. Starting in Jan 2010, Deere will start making the 605, 655 and 755. Good luck with the way the loader market has tanked. Here is the link...

    Who would like to see the "C" version of the 943 Caterpillar Loader?

    I saw at the IQ show that Liebherr is selliing the 614 with a quick coupler that takes attachments. I am not sure what it fits but it had a rockland root rake and a 4 in 1 bucket. I was told the 614 is what they were building for deere as the 605. It looked like a good tweener of a smaller...

    Why does cat not make the 943 anymore

    Didn't deere cancel the contract with Liebherr to stop building it for them? I think Liebherr is selling it as their 614.

    Equipment life

    I was having a discussion with a guy about the life of equipment. It stemmed from the auction prices of some newer units. He said construction equipment had a life of 20 years just like cars had a life of 10 years. I said it had more to do with how it was run and the hours on it. It seems...

    Dozer Pricing

    Great points. The value of a dealer unit is that you have somewhere to go back to if you have a problem. Your stuck with an auction piece. The asking price from a dealer is usually close to the real value of the unit. I was wondering how many of the auction units will find their way back to...

    Tiltrotators and Today's Marketplace

    I have seen these in person and they arereally great. Almost all I have seen are on tracked excavators. I know a couple of people that hve bought them and they love it. They are using a hammer and a bucket. A couple of municipalities have bought the wheeled excavator with the tilt rotator...

    Deere 1050J pictures

    I know that Liebherr's are expensive to buy and their parts are around a Cat. But I have also heard that if you plan on keeping the unit for it's lifetime, you can get 30k plus hours on their engines. I have seen scrap excavators with over 40k hours and the only thing done is the standard...

    Deere 1050J pictures

    How can the brakes be destroyed in a Hydrostatic drive? You don't shift gears either. It's a range selector. Are you sure you know what your dealing with? Are you the operator, mechanic or a spectator?
