Mostly idler and roller bearing and tracks a few hundered hours ago...and some hydraulic leaks...and a radiator leak..and some cracks in the body..and pins and bushings...and the basket around the fan fell apart...and for some reason the bolt through the AC compressor keeps breaking...

But we have a lot of rocks and the terrain here is tough. In the long run I think a tired machine would hold up better...or an excavator and DC head!

I agree with ASV being expensive to operate. It does not allow you to make a profit. I recently replaced idlers and removed hyd. tank to repair a crack. Now I have a broken front axle. Oh and the AC sucks.

Oh yeah...I had the hydraulic tank crack last year, that took most of a day to get back in...and my front axle is cracked, I'm hoping it makes the week so I can spend my weekend tearing it down and having it welded...thanks for the reminder AX..I knew there was more that I had forgotten

I talked with a rep today about the 332 with tracks. They seem to be interested in a trade. My axle snaped into. I had to pull both tracks off. It's a PITA to fix. A new one is around 1800.00

For what your doing, you will love the 332. I love how I can see out all the windows, even the back, and it is super easy to get to the engine for service. When you get it, you will find the fuel cap inside the back door( I looked everywhere for it). The power is very sootrhing when you are in a bad mood since you can destroy anything you want!

Well Quick all I can help you on is the bolt on the ac compressor. I had to make a shim to put between the bracket & compressor & it fixed that. As far as the other mine is still good.. Hope the escavator works out better for you.
I want some pictures!!!
There is a guy here that has a kubota with a dc head & he says it works good, wish I had one too!!

I agree, pictures! oh, have fun on your excavator.
