Not to high jack a post but ksss, do the bigger case's skids run anything like the smaller ones?? We rented a 420 a couple of weeks ago and was just a plain machine to me. I went into it with an open mind wanting to to be a good machine based on yours and a few others comments. Had good power and the machine was tight but that was it. It seemed like it needed more weight. Had that ol 1830 feel to it?Congrats. The 450 is a fine machine. I really like how fast that machine is, great cycle times and its big and heavy enough to really move material.

I've pretty much ran a 440 size machine for the last five years and talked to my Case Service guys about the smaller skids(410 and 420), they were not sure I would like them as they thought the smaller skids would feel to 'underpowered' compared to the 440. I think they said the 410 is very close to the dimensions of a 1840. The Series 3 machines do have more power. Something scary is the 440S3 weights 7,040 with 83 net horse and the 420S3 weights 6,605 with 69 net horse and from what I've researched the dimensions are very close if not the same. I would like to try a 420 out to see how it compares.
