CM- It's just such a big vertical cut. Plus, They have been drilling and splitting everything we can't load. The 210lx- no thumb seems to be the best at loading the big bones. They can load 5-6' footers but, on the ramp..swinging uphill isn't the best set-up. Some how, they load some big friigin rock and no accidents.
I like all the concrete around your drainage structures and such. If the frost did not get behind everything we could do stuff like that.

Good thing we have some a small fleet so we can compete with the big boys.

C D with all that beautiful country and great looking equipment sure does tease a fellow. Glad to see you are doing so well, must have a lot of work still on the books, that is great.

Landclearer, The 750 is on an R/P but I have not been all that impressed with it. It has 4000 hours and runs decent, not great. It pushes well, easy to see out of, rips decent. I don't think it would pull 3 shanks. The a/c system so far is a pain is the rear. I dunno, He is wanting $115k out of it and I have it on rent for 5k even a month, so I may just be done with it. I don't know what else to do. The Cat 6r and T are out of my budget. Maybe a Case 1650. I am still looking to buy some more iron including ride on 54" sheep's foot and smooth drum plus a loader. Just picking up the deals when they come available. I did just pick up a Nordberg CV100 screening plant, so I am waiting on that to show up from Houston.

I might be off base but I think you would be happy with a D61P-15. Might be a little lighter than the 750 but I have always but more than impressed with it.

Thanks for the info CD. I have never ran a 750. We have a 450 which we like and I have run a 650 which I really liked. Have you ever thought about a 6N. They are the same size as the 750. I like both the XL and LGP versions. I do think they would be a little higher in price than the 750.

Hello, Can you fellas recommend 3.5 c/yd loader's and 20 ton dozer's with a P.A.T. I'm thinking about going a bit older back to 07 or so to find some iron that will work.

Komatsu D61-15. Either a P or E depends on if you want wide pads or not. They weigh around 42,000 lbs. As far as loaders go pretty hard to beat a Deere 644. Take your pick: E is a little older but good solid machine. G or H pretty much the same.

D6N XL, bought a new one in '06 put over 3K hours on her. Had to sell it during the depression.:(

Great tractor, diff. steer, PAT blade, 3 shank ripper, cab with A/C. Loved that tractor and would like to have another one.

No experience with wheel loaders.

I agree with CM. A 6N is a great machine. XLs are strong and ride good. I don't think you would want an LGP in your ground conditions. We. Sold our LGP when the economy turned as well. Got a 6k now and not the same.

Considering trading up the D5G we have and going to a 6K but really want a 6N. Problem is the new 6N's are very expensive - $250K + and I can't make those numbers work at the moment. I can see how a 6K doesn't hold a candle to a 6N.

Love the pics as always CD, How is the new 160 treating you? Is that grizzly new or the same one you always had?
