Wow most of my customers are 50- 250 miles away but the west is a lot different When you leave Spokane You have to Drive to Minneapolis to get to a bigger City. 1500 miles
The dealer is the problem right now the closest Terex dealer is bout 2 hours away. I have another dealer bout 15 minutes away but they just carry Terex articulating dump trucks talked to the salesman he is trying to find out if he can get a pt100g in it would be great id they could.
If the dealer is the problem, then you have a problem.
I had a PT100G this time last year, I lost $12000 just to get out from under it, because my dealer was terrible.
Anyone who is thinking about buying a Terex needs to talk to people who have bought from the dealer you are planning on buying from. The best machine in the world is just a steaming pile of s-crap without a good supporting dealer. If you're going to be that dealer's 1st PT100G then you may find out the hard way what kind of dealer he is.
The PT100G has it's good points, and it's bad points. I didn't own mine long enough to work them all out. I parked a 2006 Fecon FTX 90 in it's place, and haven't looked back.
Good luck, and check that dealer out good.

Alright we go off track a little I know all about the importance of dealer support. But I want feed back from guys running the pt100g with mulching heads, I know all bout the undercarriage, does anyone recommend the pt100g?
CAT, I also meant to mention the biggest reason I didn't trade up was because the sales rep I was dealing with wanted me to trade my 287c plus $20,000 ! WTH ! I was born in tha morning but not that particular morning.:laughing: Looking back I think the old saying everything happens for a reason holds alot of truth. The CAT sales rep told me last week that in order to run my HM 315 it would require some quick coupler adapters, but they wouldn't be available till August ! I guess that $20 grand was to cover there expense for rebuilding the undercarriage. Go figureCat, After my fire in the 287C a year ago, I took a 2 hour drive to the closest Terex dealer and was very impressed with what I saw. First and foremost the hinged belly pans that opened like cabinet doors. The battery and air filter are housed in the uprights that support the arms with easy access. And many other features such as the forestry door, etc, etc. Didn't demo the machine, just pushed a little gravel around the lot so I can't really speak on behalf of performance. However the design in a nut shell is pretty cool. I did get to look up close at the 299D yesterday and I'll have to say I was pretty impressed with the changes they have made and will probably be leaning in that direction. Waiting on a quate with forestry package from my rep. I just wanna get as far away from the CAT/ASV Undercarriege as I can possibly get !:laughing: I think and hope CAT has it together on this one !:thumbsup:
