I hope to get a little more information here about this vehicle. I'm considering trying to purchase this "Transport" TTM-3 from Russia. Haven't seen in it person but have talked to two russians that have maintained and operated this machine. It's a one owner purchased new for $100,000, currently under 600 hrs, 4 man cab, new tracks, well maintained w/records, all manuals in english come with it as well as a few new spare parts. These are quite heavy and appear well made, they seem to be popular in northern regions of Europe and with oil service companies but I don't have any personal experience with one.
Looking for opinions/input from anyone that's been around or operated one (or something similar) concerning quality, durability, weak points etc? If the price is right and I don't find anything too concerning with this model TTM-3, I am probably going to buy it. Unfortunately, there just doesn't seem to be a lot of info online about TTM so any thoughts or information would be much appreciated.
