    Where's your dealer at, I see that has NORTRAX stickers and I didn't know they had any stores up there.

    Len Did you get a chance to really work that machine? How about in six wheel drive? How do you compare the Deere 872G against the Cat M's that you have run? Thanks

    ironman i have had ago on the 772gp john deere with the new controls and and loved it, the six wheel drive works great,i really gave the machine a heavy work out ,with turning a large windrow out and deep ripping. loved the transmission so smooth,very well built,nice cab.They have dropped the front windows below the floor level,better vision.The new controls work just like grader controls should ,not like the m.I think john deere has listened to the complaints on the m's and has built the gp,you really need to get a demo on this machine,it is the best grader i have operated to date ,alot better the m series and a lot cheaper

    curb slayer,the872g was a nice machine,the six wheel drive is impresive.rear scarifier works great gets the job done well.would have liked to try gp controls. getting new 870g any day now, one way plow,wing,dozer blade,rear scarifier. this is replacing old 740 series4 champion. post pic when it arrives.

    curb slayer, good to know about gp controls.our demo had rear camera also nice feature.Have you tried adjusting circle or blade?,does it keep adjustment.The auto diff lock works well. Impressive machine i think
