got the crawler and gave her a bit of a work out found a couple of issues. firstly the right steering clutches slip under heavy load , im guessing they need replacing. secondly the right brake band needs relining. the rear sprockets and chains lookvery good very little wear on them. i did notice the...

this was 90 foot tall and like 18 foot across. steel plates near the top were just a tad under 1/8 inch. the bottom plates were almost 3/8 inch. being half full mads things a bit more interestin. the barn beside it went down in under and hr lol.

we had a choker but couldnt go to high as the steel at the top of these silos is extremely thin and we had a komatsu 220 pulling and thats wasnt enough we snapped the 3/4 inch cable lol took the two machines to get her down . it was half full of 25 yr old frozen silage

this one was all steel with a big flexible liner from top to bottom.the steel plates were still like new

this is what i do for work. im the guy in the excator pushing from the back boss was in the other pulling on the cable. was half full of 25 yr old silage.
