Toolcat and V417

More pictures. Couple of dirt movers!

V417 with 6' bucket. Toolcat with 8' boxblade.

Moving dirt from the edge of the pond.


Filling the hole in the pasture.


Leveling with the 8' boxblade on the Toolcat.


Wheel packing with the V417.

Hooked this crane scale on a dead tree to see how much lift power the V417 has.



But the tree came up instead.

Hate when that happens!

Used the stump bucket to push over a crooked tree. Didn't want to drag it down the driveway, so I chained it under the stump bucket, picked it up and backed down the driveway.

Installed this a year ago last month.

Pictures of the 7" monitor, with views from the front right camera.

Moving a round bale on 10-9-2013, can't see down low on the right.


The monitor shows the driveway.


Trees ahead.


The monitor shows that I will miss the trunks.

Good view, even with the sun shinning on part of the screen.

It switches to the rear camera when I pull the reverse lever.


The front camera is over the right wheel.


The rear camera is in the right tail light bracket.

That is still a cool setup. My salesman told me to stay away from the v417. Said it would ruin our relationship. How is it holding up for you?

So good so far! :thumbsup: It has 685 hours now. It had 44 hours when delivered 9-29-2010.

It has never been that clean again!

So if you had your choice and could only have one; Toolcat or V417?

What could my salesman possibly be talking about with reliability?

So if you had your choice and could only have one; Toolcat or V417? V417, because it will do more and is "unstuckable".

What could my salesman possibly be talking about with reliability? Ask him for specifics, I would like to know too.
