Patrick, since 1987, Hitachi has been the company building excavators for John Deere. Is that correct? Yes, sir. That's correct. So, for almost 40 years, if an operator has sat in a John Deere excavator, he's actually been sitting in a Hitachi excavator. Yes, sir. Just different colors. Hitachi's been responsible for the research and development, the engineering, the quality control and manufacturing of both John Deere and Hitachi excavators for many years. Except recently, they've separated and Hitachi has decided to save the best for themselves with all new upgrades that no one else is allowed to have. Let's look at this. Patrick, show me the upgrades John Deere's not allowed to have. This is the new ZX210 LC-7. From factory, we have the heavy duty front. The boom and arm have added weldments and plating for added protection for those toughest jobs. In terms of stability and undercarriage, we continue to beef up the undercarriage, enhanced drive motor housing, larger idlers and rollers. We've even added additional track guards to our track chain. Hydraulically, the ZX210 has a Trius 3 pump, which sets us apart from the competition with three pumps. So, this is the only brand that has three pumps. Most are limited to two or even what? That's correct. Well, a heavier duty counterweight standard. Heavy duty counterweight standard. And it's protecting our Isuzu engine that does not require a diesel particulate filter for after treatment, which is a really nice plus in terms of maintenance and service. And then last but not least is is the office, the operator station. We've lengthened the cab by 3 in. We have added over two inches of overall head space, a new 7-in LCD incap display with a ton of customization and features, and we've even gone to great lengths to enhance our wide wiper blade here for excellent visibility out of the front of the cab. And these are out. Yes, sir. Contact your local dealer for pricing and availability. Thank you, sir.
