Hi, keloz.
What rock have you been hiding under - haven't heard from you for a while.
Guesstimate - around 24 Tonnes. Some people are gonna quote you for a D7E with bull blade, tilt cylinder and ripper with not much understanding of how much us DowNunda folks valued our heads when clearing timber - - - IF you get my drift. but it does pose a 'kwestyun' - is the canopy wunna rounded pipe frame scrub canopy types or a full length serious TIMBER canopy?
The D7F was close to two tonnes lighter with the six-banger donk - if my aging memory serves me rightly.
LOTZA people reckoned it was step backwards in the 7F with 2,000 RPM needed to produce the same power that the E produced with the four-banger at about 1,440 RPM but the F was a much nippier machine. But it did miss that weight in the front - - - - until we hung 2 X 4 foot square slabs of 1" thick steel plate on the front face of the blade for push-loading scrapers.
Just my 0.02.
Just laying low Dees ,talk to Davyn now and then lol take care
so Deas....as impressive a big, slow 4 cylinder engine is....did a 6 banger justify its existence..?
Our channel highlights machines from the earliest Holt and Best track-type tractors, equipment from the start of Caterpillar in 1925, up to units built in the mid-1960s.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
