    Really odd.... two bar grousers on the track shoes, with a ripper, and where are the belly pans? Well, if you're happy that's all that matters.

    being that it comes from china, it could be a put together machine..who knows what your gona get, including the name painted on it...

    that must be a really strong container.. maybe it worked only in a quarry with no dirt, considering the 2bar pads.. I can't think of any other reason (except the obvious)

    That looks like the hard way to do it. I've seen pictures of a container on it's side, plywood down, drove/rolled a machine in, then righted it with a crane. It's amazing how much cheaper container freight is than cargo hold. There are some routes with RORO like from Japan to the US, but it's still a lot higher than container shipping. Volume is everything.

    we bought in a couple of 657,s a few years back and all guards and covers including gas axing holes in draft tube for quarantine inspection to make sure you don't bring unfriendly,s in mark
