well i finally got a new machine at work...we had a layoff recently and i got one of the machines one of the guys that got laid off ran, he was on a reclaim crew so the machine never got into any trees, not a scratch on it, its a 315C...same as the old one i had, but different stickers on the doors and counterweight, and this one has a 42" bucket, and only 1300hrs on the clock

    Nice 315, being a guy from WV living in the deep south. What is your alls take on Carter as a Cat dealer?

    they are pretty good....easy to deal with as far as gettin stuff like hoses and teeth and stuff, but they have to order alot of stuff other than simple things, around here they cater more to strip mines, they keep alot of stuff in stock for like D11's, 992's, big stuff like that

    Thanks for the quick response gasfield. I've been away from home for a while and thinking about making my way back up north sometime. Have you ever dealt with Walker? If so do you see a difference in the dealerships?

    no, not really, i have got a few hoses from the walker in logan, but thats it. where our shop is in pineville, thats where we get all our parts
