    Scrubpuller?

    Anyone heard from or know what happened to our old mate Scrub? Seems a bit strange without his thoughts and wisdom being posted on here. D'you think if we mention slot dozing or chaining trees he'll come out of hiding?

    299 D2 loader arms flexing

    i've spent some time on a 299 D2 XHP over the last couple or weeks. It's my first outing on any Cat CTL, though I've clocked some time on a 257 MTL in recent years. Some of you on here have a lot of experience on these mounts, so is it just me, or does there seem to be a lot of twist on the...

    Liebherr

    Does anyone know if Liebherr have discontinued the 614? I asked one of their demonstrators at a UK equipment show and he didn't know. They aren't showing it on their UK website, but someone reckoned that was because they're preparing a replacement. Thanks.

    Komatsu and Dresser/IH hystat loaders.

    I've so far seen no mention on here of the Komatsu rear-engined hystat, the D66S. I've never seen one in the UK. Anyone have any experience of them, or the Dresser 200? Again another elusive beast.

    D6K Extreme Low Temperature Operation

    Can any of you Northerners tell me how you prepare a D6K for work in temperatures down to -30 Centigrade? Does normal Hydo work okay in the hystat/implement system? I'm curious since seeing various programmes (Ice Road Truckers, Megastructures, etc.) showing Cat hystat dozers and tracked loaders...
