Besides good dogs there ain't nothin finer than a piece of cat equipment.What i wouldn't do to get my hands on them set of tracks.Looks like one I use to use in my gas line laying days,just the one I ran wasn't near as pretty.-shawn

Down here they wont let us move one of those in one piece.
Takes 3 loads. I heard one of those cost close to a million?

Man I bet that one burns about 150 gals of fuel per day !!

The 955 I rented to clear our land burned almost 50 gal per day but I had to dig some stumps out.. But with a few root cuts I could push over 85' white oaks quite easy..

I would like to use that one for a day !!!!

Heck my 8 burns 150 gal/day, I bet an 11 would burn closer to 200-250 gal/day.
Gotta love that Big Iron.

I just ran it on the calculator.
1200 liters is 317 gallons.
1500 liters is 396 gallons.
In an 8 hr shift, that would be 264 gallons, almost twice what an 8 consumes.
How many yards can you carry in front of you with a full blade?
What are you pulling that with?
