I have gone from Cat to deere in one day and feel the cat is a better machine. As you guys all say dealerships attitudes go a long way in your purchase decision. Cat is really taken care of us and seems to have what we need a lot faster and they have been coming close enough on all the prices that we feel its worth for the little bit extra it costs. Barely keep any parts in stock, just has been a big down fall with them too. Both have been decent machines, our dealership changed names within the last couple years and service just isn't the same.

Our dealership said they were all put together wrong, the blade started cracking at the welds at a year old and some other issues. Most of the blade cylinders came apart early on. It had to be put together on a friday at the end of the shift. At this point its just showing its age and has become unreliable and either needs to be gone or totally gone over is it worthit? We have a 2010 0r 11 I believe. It hasn't been a bad machine just last couple years seems like it runs for 3 days then down for 3 days getting it fixed or keep trying to find fixes to the same problems. Chased an overheating problem for years, now the hydraulics over heating. We have an early 750j with 11,000 or so hours, u/c lasted forever. In the last two years we bought 3 more trucks, 2-735s and a 740, d6n and the 6t. 2018 JOHN DEERE 850K LGP DOZER EROPS M/S RIPPER Location: 4809 S County Road 1310 Odessa, TX 79765 Quantity: 1. Yes Cat wants in with us, about the only Cat we had before was just 815 and artic trucks and a d8r. We had to go thru them just to get a demo of one. We have a highway equipment dealer (kobelco,hyundai) that bought all the 850ks from the deere dealer because they rent them to the pipeliners. It was two months for our dealer to get an 850k prewired.
