No but I have a few 280's. These are equiped with either a GM 8V-71 or a Cummins NTO-6-CI. Weighs in at 53,250 pounds, and is far superior in many applications than a CAT tracked dozer. I have pulled out a D8 several times with it and pushed many pans out of muck.
They do have a common thread with the military power wagons as they also use a 24 volt, positive ground, system.
Also have a Michigan BL 700 backhoe that is the best darn machine ever made for digging dirt!!!
