Brian Allen said: (quoted from post at 15:28:27 01/09/10) I went and looked at the 420 this morning.
He stated that they did have some trouble with the main clutch sticking; not the steering clutches.
Tracks are at 75%, according to the chart I printed.
The owners did not like my $1000.00 offer; told me to think about it and call them back!
Oh well.

I think that was for the best. You will find something much better for a little more money.
A couple of things to think about with crawlers. One is that any sticking clutch means work and money. Always. And soon. Two is that small machines like these will only work loose dirt and brush. Thats it. Anything hard packed is gonna take something way bigger, or else you need a scarifier to loosen it up first. It gets old real fast when you are just scratching and clawing for every little bit you gain. For comparison, a modern D4 weighs almost as much as an early D8. Weight is everything to a non-ag crawler. And them slick pads on a loader are a real liability for anything other than scooping gravel from a pile. Rebar is cheap though.
Please don't get the impression that I'm putting them down. They are fun to play with in certain situations, but have very real limitations.
