Hi,i would like to know if the 345 has any major problems.(engine,hydralics,u/c)does this work well at ripping fairly large hardwoods and ripping fence lines back,because i have about 150 acres of trees to rip for farmland. does the 345 burn alot of fuel,if so whats the gal/hr.and roughly how much would a hyd thumb and a forestry package cost?

    i would probably go with a smaller machine. fuel alone is alot of money. running hard all day they will almost burn a whole tank and i think its almost 200 gallons

    If I was u I would get a 330 cl. Should have plenty of power and will burn way less fuel than the old 345.
