Subject: RE: Lots of excavator questions.


Mid-Missouri
We bought an 03 200CLC when the market was the softest a few years ago. It had about 3000 hours and auxillary hyd. plumbed. It was a Hertz rental.

We spent about 2500 on a hydraulic weld on thumb. It would have been better if buying to spend about 4500 on a real one. It is a weld-on. A shared pin is typically better...stronger, stays at the same arc as bucket teeth.

Here is a pic of a ten thousand dollar lowboy we haul it on. Tires are a little small to be driving in the field loaded. There is about 31,000 pounds of tractor on it. The bed is 8.5' wide. We have no problem loading, hauling, or unloading the hoe, but an issue could happen, especially if parked on a slope.

The 200CLC is a little heavier than our 1970 D7.
