MacAllister only has them without
the air-ride seat.
If that's okay I'll send one this afternoon.

That is a nice looking D9H. Looks like she spent much time pushing pans. New cutting edge and UC makes the price well worth it. I am sure that the pads just have grouser bar welded on it, which most ppl do. Last year dad bid on a D8H with a 4bbl ripper. Took it up to $30,000 and kicks himself to still for not going higher.

Re: D9, I Wish?


This machine was there on consignment and it was still there a week ago. They may be ready to deal if anyone wants a nice older machine.

It was very apparent this machine was not beat up in it's life.

If we ever get to push 500 yards of dirt we're lucky. It's all short casts and digging rock for us.

Thanks Decks

Decks,

I think Joe will be by soon and let everyone know where to send the cash. He wants me to be surprised when the machine is delivered.
