My First CAT

Got tired of cutting line for surveying by hand so I bought this.

I know good help is hard to find, that kinda goes a little over the top, doesn't it?

Looks like a great (toy) tool!

ok. That does it....I'm officially jealous!! :drool:

It's not just to cut survey lines. We are doing turn key lot underbrushing with topo and tree survey. We are also gps guided for clearing fencelines and property lines in acreage subdivisions. I do have fun running it and the pressurized cab is great. Time for the VTS track conversion kit.

Hey Aggie, if you get the VTS keep us informed woudl ya? I'm interested in them as well, just can't justify the $$$ right now with obamanomics in full swing. I might ask before you go with the $12k set up, have you ever used the over the tire steel tracks, incredible traction!

My only negetive to the VTS system is the weight. For this machine it adds 3600# putting the total machine weight with head at 14,350#. That is a little much for the trailer I haul it on. I might try the chains first since I have a contractor with a spare set.
