I've just bought a Cat 307d Eddie, get it on Tuesday.

 

Congratulations Stephen, that is going to open up a whole new world for you!

 

Steel or Rubber Tracks?

On steel mate.

The 3 toner is like a bucking bronco compared to a 7.

Eddie is there an adapter I can get so I can use the attachments on the 7?

Without changing pins.

Sorry Stephen, you've slightly lost me here? My mind is saying you are wishing to use the 3 tonner attachments on the 7 tonner?

 

Basically straightforward advice is you can't unless it was something you simply carry like an Auger or Post Knocker?

 

The larger machine will make mincemeat of the lighter attachments! The extra forces generated especially in the Bucket ram are huge, and when this class of machine started to appear, so did a lot of twisted JCB 3cx Buckets! Everyone tried to play a blinder and use what they had in the yard already for the 3cx, and the excavators could eat them.

Certain dealers are extremely specific what buckets they will sell you with an 8 tonne Kubota, as these are know for their under spec Bucket killing ability!

 

What attachments are on your list? Grab must be top of it?

 

Steel Tracks is ideal for you.

Wouldn't you be worried about bending/breaking atachments on the 7 tonner? I was comparing my grab to one on a 7 toner the other day- they both opened up roughly the same amount but the 7 toner one was twice the metal....

[Stephen Blair]

My grab is rated for between 2.5-8 ton machines .

I would ask Exac-1first though.

[Matthew Storrs]

is this your grab

Exac-One Ltd - Mini Grapple

 

Seems like they have different grabs for bigger machines

[Stephen Blair]

well there goes that idea!!

[Matthew Storrs]

sorry:laugh1:

 

I love the exac1 site- get all sorts of ideas.

Whats the advantage of the two piece boom?

 

More reach and can be closer in as well.

Upgraded my older type kesla for the new no grease one.

 

Im also thinking of fitting a 1.8 tonne kesla winch onto the dozer frame, in between or onto the box section just behind the blade and in front of the lifting ram.

Anyone done this?
