    @johndeere4020

    I was just thinking about you

    Ever haul a hitachi ex700?

    I am looking at one and can't decide the best way to
    Load it

    1 straddle my 8 6 deck
    With the tracks spread for a low overall height or

    2 on my deck
    With the tracks retracted (only about 1' on the deck on either side ) and be tall

    It just a Az to Tx load so this is a preference decision as much as anything

    That Deere is a 750 Hitachi painted yellow so it should be similar, will it straddle your deck? Ours is only 8' 2" between the tracks when they're fully extended.

    Hard to say, the track are supposed to be 24" and the spread gauge is supposed to be 11 3, so maybe..

    With out being on site to measure - not sure

    Just going to be 15 plus with it on the deck and not a ton of track
    On the deck

    Yeah ours are 36" grousers so that might make the difference. I would straddle the deck if it were me.

    I keep getting under bid on about everything. Everyone likes my rate then some yahoo comes in $500 cheaper. I think this is why my hair fell out.

    Wonder if it's the same yahoo that's running up here @noluck? I'm pretty sure if I said I would pay the customer to move their load I'd get back "thank you for your quote, some yahoo said they would pay us more to move it".
