Hi Martyn,
Thanks for the video.
I saw the D7 at work on Russel Seywells Open Day a few months back. "Very Impressive."
Wonder how the back end would take it if they gave the engine a bit of welly.

Hi Martyn, I enjoyed the videos, but can you tell me what was the loading shovel in the background, it is on the second video after he turned the machine,

Russel is in the main a D7 man but has got a good collection of tracked loaders. That one you have seen maybe a 941,Will have a closer look and freeze frame it.
Went there a few years back,I would love the facilities he has to carry out the restorations.
