Default New toy in the yard

Cat 277B

Less than 1 hour. Cant wait to get my hands on this.

Told my buddy he needs to get one of those "hot foot" accelerator pedals put on. He was too keen on that.

They are a blast, I ran one last year for about 400hrs, and then a T190 Bobcat....I loved the Cat, but still a Bobcat fan....I didnt like the hydraulic cutoff on the Cat, but the ride was the greatest...

The T190 rides like an old covered wagon on a cobblestone street....

That is a small bucket, but a nice toy.

If you that one wait until the C series machines come out later this year. I have heard that they blow the B series machines out of the water. Whayne Supply told that I could test one out when the rental fleet gets one in July. I can't wait.

Nice machine, I have never ran any Cat other than a dozer. I do like the bobcat T190.

I'm an ASV fan, but you can't go wrong with any of the 2_7 cats. Actually you can't go wrong with almost anything Cat makes.

You my friend, turned out to be EXACTRY correct on this statement.

There is now a new 287C in the yard with all of the bells and whistles.

The 277B is down the road. Long schpeel......

I am interested to try it out as it has the new undercarriage and air-ride seat. I feel asleep in the 277 packing a new road, I can only imagine how comfy this is.
