    New D7E ride quality

    I have been running a newer 7E LGP for almost a year now and I really like it! But I have got to say this has got to be the roughest riding dozer I have ever ran, it's brutal on anything solid, and if you have to get into rock you have to keep it in 1st hear or lower to be able to stay in the...

    Good idea or bad???

    Heres my idea. Say you are using 631's and D10's to haul dirt, and you want to keep cost down so you dont want to use pushpull scrapers, what if you put a bail and a push block on the front of a 31, and a hook on the back of the D10, that way the 10 can be pushing a scraper and the 31 can...
