Mr HMK said:I think that Hitachi is the best one you can find in States. Hitachi is sold by JD with JD name. Checkout if they started to import ZAXIS-3 series for JD on OEM basis.
-reason?? they are excavator specialist..
I have always heard that the Hitachi/John Deere excavators have equal partnership in the design, it's not like the ADT's that are rebadge Bell's. The R&D of Deere and Hitachi both work on the new excavators, that being said, the big difference are the engines they run on and the paint on the outside. :wink2
Speaking of which, has anyone seen these new D-seris first hand?:thumbsup
