Verifiedcatguru8201 :
There is only one claim in my system on the 5LN. It is a 99 model, so I would think it would have more hours too. The XW machines are wider than a standard gage tractor and narrower than a lgp. Other than that, they are the same machines.
catguru8201 :
The D6R in general is a reliable all purpose machine. As we have discussed in the past, maintenance is the key factor
Customer: Didn't know if the c9 was a good motor compared to the tried and tested 3306.... Don't the series 2 have about 4 times the electronics? Didn't know if its all been holding up

The D6R is such a versatile machine that it can do many applications. Considering that it is a XW, that allows many more options. I would find out as much about past application as I could. Some things are easy on it and others tear it apart. It has a few hours on it so give it a good inspection
