Anyone got an opinion on the LS MT7101? And LS in general? How about compared to Mahinda?

OK, I can tell you that I bought a new 249D3. The price I paid was 64000. I think I will like it, but I have not had time to figure it out, just to busy and it is still late winter. I will update as time progresses, but I will want to get used to it before I do. I want to thank all of you so...

If you want to do this, go with the torch set Wrangler has suggested, they work well and last a long time for small projects. Here is what I would recommend. Look into Silphos as a solder/brazing material. It can do copper, brass, and steel, and works well when you do it right. The real neat...

Thanks for this informative info, after a great deal of research I am 99 percent sure I will go with a Cat 249D3, and I will fill you all in on it when it happens and give you updates on price and other info I have learned. Price was a big part of it, Cat was very reasonable compared to others.

And you have to cover the government fees, like taxes, Social Security, licensing, compliance fees, and future legal fees, I guess I am tired of the government!

I once hired a guy by the hour who was reasonable, his machine was junk and he billed me for two repairs while he was here. It was not a good deal!

One of my biggest issues in business is the people who weasel a bunch of time out of me as they are either weasels or I am just too nice of a guy. I would have been long retired had I billed out my full hours over the years. I did not mind doing a bit extra, but it gets old after they pull...

These machines vary a bunch in price, but I have a few reasonable prices, and the best one I think is from Cat. I will let you know what I decide and the prices. Thanks for all your interest and great input.

in price a bunch, I have three prices now and Cat comes in with the best price, and John Deere is the highest. They are not exact comparisons, and I think I am going with the Cat, but John Deere has a few things I wish I got on the Cat. I will share the prices when I am done. I wish I was...

Thanks, I will look at it and glad to hear you have good luck with yours.

I had not thought about case, I will take a look, but I don't need a big one over 10,000 LBS. Thanks for the info!

I will look into that, I do have a dealer close and the price looks good.

Thanks for that info, I had no idea on the DPF system. My issue with that is that I hate to run engines wide open as I usually don't need that much power and I like to save fuel and wear and tear. The info on that filter is that they like to run warm in order to keep them clean.

I looked this over and think it has potential, and no DEF, but it does have the particulate filter and that might be as bad or worse. I will look into it and thanks for the suggestion. I see it is made in Iowa, which is a plus in my opinion. Do you all know that if you want a 4-wheel drive...
