A road trip to collect a Tracked loader.....picture heavy

[elliot330]

Hi Guys... thanks for the kind comments and advice..

If I'm honest, I wasn't after a loader at this moment in time, I really want a 360 to go with the dumper I have on order, however this came up and as I said earlier I really wanted something to play with.

With regards to cost, it didn't cost me much more than a completed Stahl loader would've cost, hence driving half way across Europe to buy it :-)

My problem, is using a limited edition model the right or wrong thing to do... I doubt it will ever go up in price, I also didn't buy it as an investment, although if you have a new 360 that you want to swop I'm all ears! I'm also not in the financial position to leave it in the box...

Writing this has made me think, I bought it to use and use it I will.... as someone suggested, I will run it for a while in gold, then tear it down and paint it in proper Cat colours.

Well you lucky dog!!! I am almost tempted to email Vario Germany & have them send you a 360 & you send that tl to me!

I have some idea what a Stahl model would cost & in comparison you got that 'Special Edition' for about half of a newly ordered one today... just goes to show there aint no collector value!!!

Use it! Abuse it! Enjoy it! Shelf queens are wedico models!

I may get my chance to see one this summer.

wow! what a great machine! I'm jealous that you're only 8.5 hours from Germany... I've seen a lot of models on ebay.de, but its a little nerve-racking to send that much $$$ across the ocean...

Don't tempt me... if it wasn't so big and heavy you'd have a deal

Hmm, what does that mean, you are going over to Germany to see some, or better still ordering one? If its the later you will be amazed at the build quality.. I certainly am...

Somebody I know in the states has one and recently moved to Utah for employment. He told me he may come for a visit this summer... maybe I'll talk him out his 963, as he's more of a builder than a player of rc.
