It must be nice to have an enclosed cab.  I think the Texas dozers that I have seen with an enclosed cab have the antenae mounted on a tab off the back of the cab

My truck is an automatic.  I think that is part of the power problem.  It is nice when talking on the radio or trying to read a map though.

Whatup 416!

Ive suggested they mount the small VHF antennea on the rear of the cab facing outward to avoid it being ripped to shreds and use a thru glass system but desite me having over 11 years in radio experience I just cant get the radio techs to turn an ear.

As for Equipment types The old JD 350s where killer in the woods, small but they could get around a lot of stuff. These new cats we have are good dozers but just a tad too big with all the bettle kill and stuff we have here. As for the sterlings, cant beat em Id say. Good power, smooth running, shift easy and so far dependable despite a weak bed system. Keep an eye on the welds we had some break. Only thing I can see bad on the sterling is the ramps are too short for such a high profile transport. If youre on a slight hill which often you cant avoid then unloading can cause a pucker factor when it breaks over.

BTW like out Morgan County Hotshots title? lol we had to brag a little :P
most of us are getting so old were gonna change our name to the Morgan County Vitamin B shots

Has anyone had problems with inconsistencies in the power on the Cat D3s?

We have four operating and each one seems to have different power ratios. Someone said they didnt have the settings the same in the hydrostatic drive. We have one so weak I could outpull it with a 4 wheeler but then we have one that is simply a bear. It seems strange to me that they would have a equal preset done on these

Whats your experience on this?

DUH: was just reading my post and noticed, I wrote 450 on here we dont have those we have the D3s lol. Have to look over me guys, just out of the hospital and still on o2 so the brain isnt working quite right lol. To be honest I didnt even recall writing this lmao.

mine is d3 and its weak too

  New to this site  Like to say hi .

Well as for dozers I run a John Deere 850wj it's a 2006 model. I also run an Komatsu D41E about early 2001/2002 model. They both have a six way blade and rippers. Before the Deere showed up I was on a Cat D5N.
