Ive ran one with about 1000 hrs on it. Nice machine, especially for the price. There is a pretty good dealer here although it is nothing compared to a cat. To me the cat and deere are much nicer machines especially after they have a few hours on them. I think you can be very productive on all the larger excavators especially when they are new and tight.

They have a heavier undercarriage and they are designed for road building in the bush.

Here is one picture notice the highwalk undercarriage.

I don't want to burn up space on the website so I won't post any more pics of Deeres on this topic.

The guarding over the window doesn't bother me I would rather have it over not having it. The 690 Deere I ran didn't have guarding I was always scared of falling out the front window when working on slopes.

I can't run a machine with the front window down even if its raining.
