Aye, just took me half an hour to get the bloody thing up and running... there was some "hidden" button build in for security reasons but nobody told me about it...
But when I did finally started the engine, my word, that's how engines should sound like

954? Thought that Cat pipe layer model numbers started with a 5.
9 numbers for loaders , odds on tracks and evens on wheels?
Or have things changed?
