Hi, does anyone know the answer? I am suspect that it is the John Deere 490e or the 190e. I do know the engines in the jd are different than the hitachi, but everything else is the same. I am hoping someone will know. The 490e cab, interior and controls look exactly the same but this is just from comparing pictures on the net. Thanks in advance! I know very little about heavy equipment so any help would be great!
