Hmmmmm.....does make me wonder. I have been married 3 times, yet have been continuously married for 23 years...I never missed a year. Married in...
Oh that is just a Cat. Like in the wild, they are always chasing Deere! I am not a big fan of them. They are cheap compared to other equipment,...
#238,000 to be exact, that is why $61,000 is such a good deal, new it was probably a 2 million dollar machine. But the thing with used excavators...
