The power of the new skid's and CTL's is nothing short of amazing but it doesnt do a operator any good if it cant be used without breaking the machine. The coupling system on the CTL is just to weak to handle the forces from lifting, prying, and backblading. Over and over again the same part breaks at a cost of close to a thousand dollars, the dealers tell me "dont do that with the machine" how about we just make the part a little stronger so we dont have this problem. Its the last weak link in your skids and it needs some attention. I work my machines hard and i know DEERE can make a machine to take it as long as they listen to the guys that are always at the parts counter.
