I was looking at Cats website to find the width of a 613 and it looks like they have discontinued both the 613 and 615. Is that right or am I just missing something?

Thanks for the help,

Chris

Thanks. The 613s were good little machines and can move a lot of dirt in the right conditions. Since Deere quit building the 762 and 862 they had no competition at all.

It's a pity all the manufacturers have dropped production of the small capacity elevators these days. They're a good size to learn on, can't make a big mess (cuts & fills) real fast like 20 or 30 yd3 machine in the wrong hands :eek:
They still have their uses in limited access jobs and where too much weight can cause damage, ie topping up irrigation channels where you need to haul dirt in :)
