[QUOTE="864wood, post: 524, member: 38"] I went head to head with the same machine in question on a Pulte jobsite. All that we had to do was push heavy mud and spread. The things that I really really didn't like about the machine was; #1 after 5hrs heavy running the tracks and drive mechanism had generated so much heat that it was cooking the mud to the undercarrige and drive parts(smoke was coming out from it). #2 there are @3 large hydr lines that come out of the undercarrige through an open area in the drive linkage area below the drive sprocket and that set up looks like a disaster. What happens when you pick up a large #2 stone after the tracks are gummed up with dirt and mud. Looks to me like the lines would get damaged and wouldn't they be a treat to replace. Finally the engine was way under powered for what we were using it for. I had an 84" combo bucket on my machine and I could push and lift all day long . The Cat/Asv had a mini low profile and it was bogging down to keep up. All in all I didn't care for the Cat one bit! My 864G kicked its ass all day long and was easier to clean at the end of the day. Not to mention the 3rd degree burns my freind got trying to clean his tracks. [/QUOTE]
