Impressive. How about some stats? How much HP? What can it go through? Do you just drive right though everything with it, or do you go back and forth like the guys in the skid steers do?

I sure hope you get some video of it in operation. Do you have anything on youtube?

I knew you guys had the same machine, just a few more hours and a diffent color. So far it is great only Rand about 4 hours today because it was low on fuel. My new transfer tank is not in yet so I am trying to run with only 100 gallon tank. Will have to fill it up twice a day! Love the machine, air is cold like you said. Will give a report after I get to run it all day tomorrow. Yes, I am working on Sunday, God know me and he should not have given me such a sweet machine if he wanted me not to work and not show a little pride.

Will it be worn out when you get done out in AZ? Any plans to have it in the NC area?

I sure hope it is not worn out! I will go anywhere that pays! I also have two small machines that I can haul behind my small trucks. All three of my machines are busy for the year or so unless something bad happens. I just hope that I can keep it all together through this rough stretch in our economy and come out the back side with a bunch of good equipment and ready to really make some cheese.

OK we had a terrible first night! I am down here in south Mississippi and the remnant of TS Bonnie are rolling in. I did not want her to spend the night in the woods by herself so I went to Walmart and got one of those super high quality $20.00 tents and an air bed. The fact that rain came into the tent as like there was nothing above my head at all is not the problem. Every time I heard thunder or saw lightening in the distance I would fling open the tent and run the 1/4 mile up to where I parked her for the night. I would stroke her head and rub her tires until the storm passed. Then I would make the trek back to my camp. Since she was so brave I gave her a little extra grease this morning and blew her radiators out again with warm air.

Maybe spending the rest of night in cab gently holding controls/steering wheel you both might have gotten much needed rest. ;)

She needs a friend now, Wednesday I go to pick up the new Tractor and trailer be home Thursday some time. You know how it works, every hot chick has a bigger heavier uglier friend that needs lovin too (Tigercat M760) lol who knows maybe they'll be best friends ha ha. I thought for a second I would take a ride out to NM when I'm in NV but its no Sunday drive, Sunday and Monday would be more like it. Gimme a call if you ever get out of her. Your wife must be getting jealous. :laughing:

100 gallons is not enough to run all day! I have a 200 gallon on the way but not In yet. Right now my "service truck" is a Nissan Frontier. The F-350 is out west and the new F-550 is still having the bed installed. Actually the Nissan is my wifes truck, we gave her QX 4 to her brother and she stole the Nissan. Good thing though I could see me mulching out of a minivan, not much respect from the other guys in the woods.
