[QUOTE="reaperman, post: 81867, member: 6675"] My feelings are its a bit chilly here in Minnesota right now. The windchill is -40F and the overnights lows are near -20 and the ground is frozen. With that said, not much bobcatting to be done these days. This is frost ripping season with the D8R, but anyone with any sense isnt opening up holes, so I'm safe until it warms up again. However, I did run the T750 a bit yesterday to finish up a small job. Overall, I do like the machine, I always did. Sometimes I just wonder why some of the changes takes a step backwards. The tracks on the 750 are a couple of inches wider than a t250. This doesnt sound like a big deal, but now the 750 requires a wider bucket to cover the tracks. So to cover the tracks we went from a 78" on the 250 to 84" on the 750, thats 6" wider overall. Six inches is a big difference when trying to work in tight quarters. For some reason, plumbers get pi$$ed when we bump a pipe or two in their endless maze of pipes sticking up everywhere we need to work. Not to mention, 84" is now too wide to fit on all 5 of our skidsteer trailers. The tracks just fit, but the bucket needs to rest on the 1 foot sidewall of the trailer(s). With the bucket lifted up the front door wont open to exit the machine. Solution, drive the machines front end up on blocks so the door can open or use a flatbed trailer. Oh well, a wise man once said, "yesterday was the easy day" Happy new year! [/QUOTE]
