Goodbye 'dozer, CK30 does it all now.

He's not just a woofin' either, my diesel mech is enthralled with the 350, and all the old guys get a "fun" grin on their faces talking about the JD350s/D3s and the work they'd done with 'em.

Your tri-axle trailer has me drooling Joel . . . my tandem-axle homemade was near to busting under a loaded JD350, I didn't haul it far or fast. We're in the country here

I gotta' stop by Pacman's new work site, see how it's doing.

A D3, that's a honey too. 20 hours still gets a lot of work done that a 'dozer can do best.

I'm starting to go into seperation-withdrawal.

Don't sell it Joel!

Now if I could figure a way to be able to use it in Oakland CA and Olympia... I would have it made...

I started out looking for a good 350c and just wasn't finding anything... then I came across the D3 and the owner offered free delivery to Oakland and that's how I became a CAT owner...

Peterson Tractor is on my way to work and they have everything I have ever needed and they shop guys offer great service if I need a line made...

Don't fret Joel, I won't twist ya'. You'll know when you're ready. I have other necessities to spend my money on right now.

I know how it is....Although not a dozer, I had a '69 Minnie Moe U302 Super with an Oliver loader that became part of the family. She was a hard pulling classic beauty. But, I had to give her up for the more useful Jinma. However, I was assured she's be honored - by selling her to a tractor restorer who actually farms with them. I betcha that girl is just singing away with a 5-bottom hitched up to her right now.....at least that's the thought I like to envision....

Good machines are tough to come by and harder to let go.

Deputy, you'll be doing your 50 hour service soon, I find first time I service a machine is when I really start to get attached.
