I started this a couple years ago finally got to painting it. I think it turned good went for a different paint scheme. The under carriage is from a cat 365 fs. Fetures a tilting cab , hydraulic lines, short demo boom setup. Eventually I plan to do a long boom and exteding under carriage







Here it is next to the 870 for size reference. You can see it is taller machine.





Outside pictures, always nice to take outdoor pics. Best lighting





I will take a couple pics next to its big brother the R300 D.

What to you guys think about this set up and build

That's one cool hoe. I really like the color. Not only is it unusual, but it's really looking good on this type of machine.

You're right about the pictures; it's worth taking it out for a photo session.

Thanks for the comments I almost like this one better the the 300. Today i was home with the plumbers fixing the house. We had a water line break in the foundation. So i Finished the hyd lines, changed the hand rails to all metal, Changed buckets to a larger size added a scrap shear and cylnder protection.







Here you can see The new rails and protection on the cylnders
