    I like the protective mat on the tilt cylinder. Those engine side panels should extend the life of the radiator.

    Nice looking tractor. How long do segments last as opposed to the chains ?

    They come out from the mother land and do the same thing here and can't go anywhere off road.

    Mostly sand or sandstone quarries

    Around 1100 to 1200 hours depending on what brand of segment
