Do you know of or use any of the above Cats on your farm or contracting?
If you do could you post some pics/video of the Cat.
Not much chance of seeing one in regular use on the Cotswolds.

The GF's boss loves anything with tracks, Has a D4 Dozer, D5 Agri spec and a D8 Drawbar tractor, and a Cat 60B

D4 saw a fair bit of use but its poorly now, Think its for sale, D5 did some dragging with a big drag and he has a 9 leg subsoiler on the D8 but it doesn't really notice it.
