Any future buys of machines outside of AC for dozers or loaders.

Been running a later Deere 755k, ran a 755 G some time back and Deere has not corrected any concerns on these. Sluggish, poor responses, hard to keep adjustments on straight tracking consistent.
Ran this latest one, have to continually move right hand from loader control to electronics panel, waste of efforts as need four hands.

Cats newer 953 and 963 series are near as bad and the CTLs are far worse. Personally will stick with anything Pre 2000, except manufacturers are eliminating repair parts, as usual.

One of biggest concerns of Deere units, As Crowd Hydraulics for Loader or Dozer, even Ripper or a Add On drag scraper(750 series) the Track Motors suffer from starvation, get to jumping and bucking thru the rails, and repeats as continue up since the G Series units.

Cat only improved Drive Hydro units by making the systems almost non repairable.

We have an 850L with 6-way blade at work and we love it. Little over 1000 hrs on it and not 1 problem.
