Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
Lou, I've never heard of a juicer before can you explain. The videos are great, love the modified 966, have you or Greg ever thought of doing a Hydroaxe with a Fecon or brush-head? Ben

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
Thanks Rctech9 ddc333...Think the video Thing is kindof cool ..Cant beleive my 60 someodd vids have been veiwed over 1.2 million times and over 600 subscribers now too ..heres a vid called RCNEWS that has a little clip of mine and an honourable mention
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMNX8...eature=channel Been farly busy painting and getting ready for next weekend...Theirs an antique truck show that greg and I are going to show off our equipment...Lookin forward to the show ... Steve the pads are plastic that i had shipped over from germany ...They are ok but I still want to build a set of my own..Greg and I had a pushing contest with the D8 a while back and he kicked my butt ...Think metal puts a little more traction to the ground...Cheer Lou |

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
Lou, the difference in the two dozers may be that the thickness of your cleats is too wide and didn't dig in as well as Greg's, b/c aren't the two dozers close to the same weight and track length?

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
Good point Joe ...I could try and mill a little off the side of the grousers and leave enough that it doest break the plastic off..I have a few spares to do a little experimenting on...One thing for sure is that if my dad new that gregs D8 outpushed my TD 25 he would turn over in his grave ..He used to swear up and down that the 25c would do circles around the D9 ...No Offence Dirtpusher...lol 2 cents?

Re: Logging & Construction Equipment
Joe's dead on, the narrow track will get better traction until you get into a softer material.
Congrats on the honorable mention of your vids. No offense taken on the D9 thing, I could take both of you at once!!!!!! LOL
