steer clear of joystick machines, we have put 3 handles in ours $1400 each time, and i believe 4 sets of bucket tilt cylinders due too piss poor design where dirt gets packed in and bends the cylinders when the bucket gets dumped
Thanks for the update on the machine. I am looking at one right now an '08 with 1800hrs. So real world long term testing like yours is very appreciated.
I'll have to take back my previous comment about recommending this machine to anyone . For the occasional use as a forestry cutter I say great. Wonder full cab, great tech support , and well thought out machine for all around use. However running the forestry cutter 900 of the 1050 hrs that are on the machine has taken it's toll greatly. We are currently looking at a Fecon machine and fast trak 140 horse CAT machine built from the 299C. Hoping to have better luck with one of these. If u got any
I have been running this machine for about a year now and love it. I clear power line right-of- ways with it and put six hours a day on it in the most extreme conditions. Lots of steep terrain and rock. I am running steel cleats on rubber tracks and those are the best money we have spent on the machine. As far overheating it has happened one time but the radiator was completely clogged with debris. I would recomend this machine to anyone.

The best combination we have found by a long way is the Takeuchi TL150, now the TL250, fitted with FAE UML/SSL/VT-175.
We have fitted the Viper teeth.

How long have you eh T320? I have been looking at them. People say they don't hold up and run hot. What has been your experience?
