    Cat,Volvo,or Deere

    Yes we finally got it back 2 weeks ago. Only put about 30hrs on it so far but all is good. Really like the controlls. It seems like your not doing enough,just sitting there moving your hands! After getting used to one of these I think it would be very hard to get back in a conventional grader...
