Congrats on your new machine! Have you considered using the ZIPLEVEL EZDepth for excavating? Unlike conventional technologies, EZDepth costs US$975 and installs in minutes to directly display depths over unlimited ranges, without line-of-sight, satellite horizons or complex arrays of sensors. Easy Depth readings from the cab without a laser and rod man.

Sweet machine! I didn't think you had a 20 ton tag. I was thinking it was a 10 ton, but seems i do remember it having air brakes now that I think about it. Are you getting a mulcher for the 313 or did you decide there wasn't enough work to justify having? Ps: I spent 4hrs washing the mud from my dozer undercarriage, that was after I shoveled what I could get to. It was packed around the final drives and inside the track adjuster cover like concrete!

Yup, I figured the track cleanup would be a doozy. Right, it's a 20 ton with air brakes. Great trailer bit looking for a bigger truck though. Don't plan on getting a mulcher for the 313 at the moment. There is definitely work for it if advertising and trying to get it. I mainly bought it for off season work in the winter months. But don't necessarily need it. Honestly, I would rather do dirt work than mulch...

It was a DEF fluid level and quality sensor. They got it replaced yesterday and reflashed the ECM and a few other associated things and it was up and running last night. I ran it for a half hour in the near dark and put down some dirt around a foundation to minus 4/10ths to allow for settlement and 6" of topsoil, and man... didn't have to do any measuring off building corners, or set up and take down a laser or get out of the cab... just drove around "on the drawing" and pushed down dirt piles to grade in a yard area between a building and some sidewalks. I think the phrase "game changer" has become so overused, I don't really like it, but this... is that - for me working by myself. The cost of the system is eye watering but I'm hoping it's "buy once, cry once". Until I "have to" have it installed on an excavator hah.
