I've seen that type but never ran one with that set up or at least can remember, been a long time since those days. I have run most models of Cat, 416,420D 426, Case 580's, Ford 555, 655, JD 310,410 Dynahoe & JCB, as a full time operator, and aside from utility work on the street, don't think I would want the vertical type.
