    6N lgp or 6R xw vpat

    If you had a choice between a 6N lgp or a 6R xw vpat for grading in the mid west which one would you prefer, and why. Both are GPS ready when I decide to jump into that.

    For those that have owned or ran both standard and extended frame D7R's what is the difference in them or is it so slight that there is minimal or no difference? Just bought a 7R with extended frame bare back to replace my 8H and I have not had a chance to run it yet.

    Cat D7g no hydraulics

    I ran this dozer last week, it worked great. I went to move it today and the blade and tilt do nothing when I move control. Checked oil level, checked to see if oil running out some where, checked control linkages, all ok. Did the pump go out suddenly, shear a shaft in pump, drive gear fall off...
