Vpi undercarriage

Canadian_digger ยท 2016-01-09 12:10

I'm going to be replacing my undercarriage on my 450j. I got a price from Deere for VPI (value parts inc). And another price for berco. The vpi is almost half the price of berco. Anyone have any experience with Vpi. I'm leaning towards going with vpi. I only put about 350hrs a year on the dozer. I bought it new and has the original undercarriage and has 3700hrs on it. Thanks for any input.

    what the warranty difference betwen the 2? cause if its that cheap it might just be for a reason.

    The value priced undercarriage might be Trek/DCF which should be fine. Berco was more expensive than Cat when I priced undercarriage and the Trek was less expensive by a few thousand dollars.

    Ask to both what the weight is from the parts. most of time you see there a big difference!
