I'm looking at a new CTL. Tried Bobcat S185Kwith SJC and had trouble with the SJC which BC wouldn't offer warranty on - so they're out. No dealers within 250klm for Tak, Cat, NH and not a fan of Case. I'm considering JD319D with A/C cab, EH performance controls, self leveling, air seat, 4 in1 bucket, pallet forks, spreader bar etc. Does anyone have hands on experience that they would like to pass on. Would have preferred a 323D or larger but JD haven't bought these sizes in CTL form into Aust yet. We're mainly doing bush road (firetracks)maintenance putting in rock crossings etc and it will be working in conjunction with our new ZX35U Hitachi excavator and Cat D5N dozer. Any insight would be appreciated. firetrack
Sounds like Deere is having issues with their E/H control system. You may want to consider an extended warranty that covers the E/H system.
Thanks for the info - point noted. Firetrack
