    Any CAT guys able to help understand the differences? 302.7 07A CR vs 302.7D CR vs 302.7A CR

    I guess maybe a better question would be, less than a year old, still under cat premium warranty, few hundred hours, anything to worry about?

    320CL ex with 9500hrs

    You are right on that front. I think its already phased out for any fleet to buy it in california (pretty sure its a tier 1). Doesnt apply to our use because its solely agriculture, but I'm figuring if I sell this in a year, it will probably need to go out of state. That said, I'd spending more...

    320CL ex with 9500hrs

    Price wise I think there’s a bit of sunshine tax involved, I live on the beach in Southern California. So, it’s a little high compared to some, but it’s 30 minutes from me, some of my friends actually know the machine and the company, so, fewer unknowns than a lot of older machines, and...

    Help choosing compact wheel loader

    thanks for the replies. I believe the emmissions laws are only on the machines being used for commercial work. We are private homeowners, using it partially on our farm, but mostly on landscaping our residence.

    Help choosing compact wheel loader

    Hey All, We have a small farm south of Santa Barbara and need a small wheel loader. I have a SVL75 track loader that just isn't strong enough for some of what we need to do, and I also occasionally need a strong forklift for moving things around the property. We got hit with the floods, so we...
