  I wouldn't mind something like those, but one wouldn't fit in my yard.

I've got 20 acres with 2 pastures and a hardwood timber here in Iowa'

I wish I had that kind of equipment  to get the work done instead of Ag. tractors 4wd pickups and  chain saws.

Thanks for the pictures!

Old Cat machines hold a timeless charm and are a testament to enduring quality. Nostalgia aside, their durability remains unmatched. Do you have a favorite model or memory with them?

The older D7’s hold a place in my heart as I grew up on and learned to operate the cable D7 in the vid above and I still have it and run it a little each year just to keep it active. They have a sound all their own with the big 4 cylinder engine in a hard push.
