    Looks like some sort of row crop plant digger. Shrubbery for landscaping ? seems to have padding and guides for the tops. Figure the wheels control depth of cut.

    That’s an expensive undercarriage to replace.

    Looks like a little Detroit by the governor. Fancy looking trench cutter on the front. Four tracks frames are not appealing to me at all.

    Any of you contractors that don't have a Dumptor are wasting time and money, big profits to be had having one in your equipment line up to add that top notch level of excavating! You can haul two at a time on that 35' goose neck behind that Big Horn for twice the savings and twice the profits! Looks great parked next to a Toro Dingo.

    Here is what the cat was for, pretty cool until you throw a track on it. The one this guy has looks like a lot better setup.

    Dumpes when the brakes went out they would make a curb out of telephone poles to back into but every one had a story about going over the poles.
