Hey Guys,

Stopped by Finning Caterpillar's Chesterfield branch today! This is out front on display with 2 of the 312CL Certified Used machines! I thought this would be interesting on the forum so i snapped a photo! I wanted to get some more pics but i didnt want to get wet so i just took this out of my car window!

Anyone got any ideas of the model? Is it a D4?



Joe

Looks like a little D2 to me Joe

One of the ACMOC guys will probably know for sure

Nick

Looks like an R2 to me or a similar sized pet/tvo crawler like a 22.My eyesight is getting worse,will have to get glasses soon.

Yeh sorry its not the greatest picture in the world! Nice little tractor though! Will go back when its sunny and get a better pic of it!

Joe

Yes Joe it would be good to see some pics of it on a good day, good excuse to take a few pics of other interesting kit there too

Jeremy

Yeh.....the back yard of finning was rammed but the chances to get photo's are crap Unless you want to park up and walk across some scrub land but then i dont know how good the photo opputunitys are then!
Ill go for a rekkie one day!

Just pop your head in reception and ask if you can take a look and get some photos mate.

You will probably be pleasantly suprised at how friendly these places can be .

Nick

Yeh? Might try that then mate! I was hoping to see if they have any 315D's in as i think thats what im going to end up with!

Joe

This is a R2 that was at Carmarthen the other week.Note where the air intake is compared to photo at Finning.This R2 has an electric start.
