How do they compare with the Volvo and Cat trucks in terms of performance? Also are there any weak area's to watch for?

More stable than a Cat,not as comfortable as a volvo.

Solid machines overall,if there were any weak point I'd say electrical,but no serious issues that Ive come across.

Have A JD 250C . Good Solid Truck. But Having Problems Sometimes With It Going Into Gear Forward & Reverse . Also Engine Brake And Brake Retarder Not Always Working. Could These Be Electrical Problems . I Understand The D Series Are Better.

great cycle times, but electrical problems over 4-5k hrs, D series is getting better, but I love them. never had serious electrical probs though, just beepers going off till the wire gets unplugged and then the sensor gets replaced

I bought 2 deere 350D`s and they have 8000hrs and have been great machines. I did hear to stay away from the 300D`s tho because they were under powerd and i have seen some cheap ones around

We rented some Deere 30T trucks last year for a job, had some problems with one of them. Apparently the truck we had was so screwed up they had an engineer come into the dealer an have a look at it, something with the rears. This year we had some Volvo trucks rented and seamed like a lot of issues with electrical things.
