Unloading trailer fun

Fun or Terror?
The M105 has been in the back of the 5 ton for two weeks since picked up at Chambersburg, time to come out.

Our little Case track loader is my favorite power tool, best money spent so far.

Looks great. I like the loader too. Just curious, how much does a toy like that cost?

Case loader

Recovry4x4,
I have about 14K in the loader and the 9 ton Eager Beaver trailer.

how well does that loader push dirt for grading and such? or do you only use it for loading?

basically can you compare it to a reg. dozer?

Loader use

Rizzo,
For me the big advantage is using the loader for clearing land. It is much easier to take down trees and brush, putting it in to piles for burning. Unlike a dozer you can keep the dirt in your piles to a minimum. You can dig, excavate and load. the 4-in-1 bucket also allows you grab things. At best you can do semi finish grading by pulling the bucket in reverse.
The only big problem, it's not olive drab (yet)
