    Did you try other brands? We actually took this machine from another contractor and just continued the payment book so it was too good of a deal to pass on. I know you guys are mostly Cat like us, this is our only Volvo, our Cat salesman keeps asking us to demo a 906, they look very capable...

    906h2

    Love our L30B, very handy, we have a 10' power angle plow for it as well, awesome unit overall. Seems as though the class is catching on in the last 5 years here in the Northeast. These machines have been a staple in Europe for a long time.

Also...
