Thanks for reaching out. It is still performing very well. Now I will say I don’t run it everyday anymore as I retired from the cutting business, but I still use it on my land. All functions are still running fine. It does have hesitation at the starter when starting. Been that way for a while. Probably just a weak connection at the solenoid. Anyway, decks are still holding up really well. The pin deck wheel adjusters flop around a lot but they always have even when new. I really feel like the main component to monitor on these mowers are the decks as that to me was probably the most “experimental” element they designed on these. As far as the drive train and even the frame, those components were already a tried and true recipe on these machines. All of that is the same as they put on the “golf course” line of machines, not the commercial business line. The golf course line of machines are 10,000 hour machines and cost a heck of. Lot more instead of the “commercial” machines which are really 2000ish hour machines. So all that said, I really feel the drivetrain will go all the way to 10,000 if you want it to. It will just be the decks to keep an eye on.
@Pistolpete338 the 96 won’t stripe like your 60 will. It can stripe but it will take a repeated pass or two to make it noticeable. Rear discharge mowers are just like that. You kind of take on a different mentality in my opinion when you’re mowing with it. Around here when you go into the city and county, the county and city crews use all kinds of WAM mowers, wide area mowers, and pretty much all have to be rear discharge. So the parks guys don’t really stripe a lot as I’ve seen. They definitely don’t stripe as much as I would when I was cutting commercially.
@@bellexcavation9862 that’s what my dealer said. They’re putting a mulching kit on It. He said it helps a lot He’s going to let me demo it so I’m going to give it a shot
[nice, looking bull dozer❤ i, just bought a 2002, 939c cat track loader bull dozer with the 4&1 bucket for $40k just installed new batterys, new tracks and pads, new rollers, new chains, new sprockets]
Why is blade laid back at top,Thet means it does,nt cut it scrapes across ground,that's crap,adjust it 2 cut into ground ,then it will bite ,Now test it 4 production!!!!????
I worked for an old engineer who loved the old Cat D-2's. They would drop 2 over an island in the Pacific, using 3-4 chutes. He said usually one would survive and the other would be used for spare parts! The old D-2 weighed about 3 tons, so your machine will prove itself to be very capable. To those who have a big track skid steer the balance will just not be the same as this dozer. Both great machines, but built for different purposes.
D1? I've never seen anything below a D 3. Seems like they're just playing with numbers now. It looks like a d three or a d four at least from here. I guess it would be great for pads and grading(light grading)
I had a small 10k pound machine that was hydrastat, so you could move around and change directions very quickly. I had another machine that was 17k pound D4 Direct Drive. That smaller machine with the hydrastat would outwork the D4 most of the time because of how fast and maneuverable it was.
What small dozer are you referring to in the 10K class that is hydrostatic. I’ve put a few hours on Deere 350C and 450C dozers which are direct drive with either a hydraulic directional reverser or high-low-reverse. By direct drive I mean you can stall the engine vs a torque drive unit. Found them very fast.
You guys making it hard! Just put 1x1’s in between the idlers & tracks and some inside moving the track and someone out side guiding the track in! 15min!
Not most but most sml dozer do not have them. I don't see any means on how you could put one on this d1 unless their was some type or attachment and hydraulic to operate the lift cylinder.
Yeah a lot of small dozers may not have them. I have run dozers this size with a ripper. I will say, while it was cool having one on, it wasn’t very effective. In my opinion it may be that this size of dozer with a ripper on it is not of a lot of advantage.
I have not read the specs of the old D3s lately but yes I believe similar. I had the old D4G and I will tell you the specs are nearly the exact same, down to track length, width, blade, and Hp.
I just don't see the validity of buying a not very versatile dozer, as great as it is, and it is a fantastic dozer, but I would rather have a 939C with a quick coupler and a 6 way blade attached to it along with a nice couple buckets and forks.
Great looking machine... I agree with you 100 % on the size of the machine. Having a smaller size machine is the way to go. In most cases when the job is only going to be a short term. As well as the transportation is much easier. I've got a 550 and can transport that dozer. Everything I have is kubota, with the kx080-4 weighing around 20k..But when you work by yourself as I do. You take the smaller jobs that can be just as profitable as huge jobs. Once again great looking machine and wish you success with it...
