The 953 loader is my favorite machine, I did everything with it cut roads, strip. Lots, dig basements, load trucks, backfill basements, and finish grading. As far as I'm concerned it's the best machine I ever ran
@@douglashiggins5652 try to get on one at some point. You’ll be impressed for sure. And that’s impressive doing finishing grading with a track loader! You must be really good 👊
I have a 953 and it is my go to machine, because it is the only machine I have, LOL. In all seriousness, I love it. Does everything I want, no problems with it at all.
Use to see 977 & 955 Dominate work sites for Haul outs. Really miss those. They Looked so good to me. All the 450 size really where owned by so many Company's. They had the attachment on rear for Backhoes Thank you for showing off, all the neat things CAT has Engineered into these New ones.
I am just a fan/watcher of earth moving equipment. I recently started watching CAT track loaders. I wondered why they only had three sizes and why not have a D-11 size track loader. Then I happened to see a "presumably" 6' tall man walking next to a 973 with a full heaping bucket of dirt and that heap in the bucket was taller...dont need a D-11 size bucket yet but hey..we havent started breaking ground on Mars😊
@@scottmcquarrie7295 YES. Belive me. I have worked with Narcissistic operates, you know the type. Experts on everything. Bragging all day. Gets tired listening to them dominant the work place. I worked with a know it all. I brought a scale model of a GRADALL XL 5200 to show my buddy at work. I collect scale model Construction Heavy Equipment. The know it all asked what is that, why would they make such a Stupid machine. The know it all would always jump on the first Rental Backhoe we Rented at job site. It was so FUNNY it was a JD with JD controls. He DEMANDED to Supervise to have it Returned ( he could NOT run a backhoe that had boom/ Dipper conto on opposite sides) the super came to me and asked quietly if I would RUN it. This know it all we where just cutting down 5/8ths, on shoulder about 2 inches to pave a section of shoulder. He started plowing down about 5 feet just kept pushing more and more gravel into ditch. We wasted a whole 12 yard dump REFILLING the area. His excuse, that is what the Instructors show him at a heavy equipment Apprenticeship school. Well the idiot could NOT figure out the school instructions where for D-8 Land clearing. Yes just like you said you have to have a BRAIN to run the Heavy equipment Properly. Use you BRAIN. My gosh the NEW equipment today is so easy to run. It practical runs itself. I remember when every Big Track Backhoe had AIR/HYDRAULIC controls. Swing was forward and back. All controls where different on all machines. You had to use your Feet for some function. The Dozer had brake pedal + Steer levers, even a big clutch lever control ( HD-5) I once ran. Even all the 580 size backhoes had different control patterns to operate different Backhoes. Remember the INTERNATIONAL Backhoes controls for backhoe where on each side of seat, 4 controls 2 each side next to seat. All back asswear, than Case. FORD was FIRST for me clutch shuttle forward and back it had forward and back on gear shifter on floor on top of gear case. The swing for Backhoe was a big chain around base of boom. If you pushed lever to hard, forced it it started swing slow then swings really fast. A guy told me if you got a leak in hydraulic system. Blow a hose. The BOOM would just drop. Very Dangerous for lifting over workers. Anyway iv ranted long enough. I just wanted my fellow operates to treat equipment with respect. Like you said USE YOUR BRAIN.
@@rp1645 , you sound like my kind of guy I started at 16 years old on a '74 Dynahoe 160. I collect model heavy equipment too. I have the same Gradall 5200 that my Wife bought me. It's obviously very special to me. I don't switch controls too much on hoes myself though. I stay on Cat controls, no John Deere for me. I ran Bucyrus Erie (40-H) controls, Drott controls and foot swing Case controls, no problem.
@@scottmcquarrie7295 My GOD. I OWN a 1978 190-Dynahoe for my Retirement play toy. I call here Big Musky because my yard is so small for my garden. And they both where BE powerhouses. I baby her. As a matter of fact. Me and wife just came in from moving bush to back yard to put Fence in front. For are NEW 9 week old mini Assy Shepard. We are redoing front yard. Have to take out a overgrown JAPANESE Maple that is to big. Worry about it moving my water service with ROOTS. you Rock my friend with a 160 Dynahoe. I loved how they where all a main frame machine Backhoe is part of Frame. Only machine that NEVER came apart with a bull prick, on.
I beg to differ regarding being a Multi Tool able to do any job !!!!!!!!!!!. We ran 955H's, K's, L's & 977Lfor years when they were the Go To Machine! and i have a Great Respect for Track Loaders -BUT !:- They cant work out a Wet Stodgy Site without making more mess than they clear up !. They Churn Up the Substrate and mix any rain water into it !!!!!! They cant Reach like an Excavator. The Excavator can:- work back out of a wet site can dig off to level leaving a weather Guard Surcharge if necessary Doesnt shake your bones out digs with ease instead of Track Slip Can:- Trench Riddle Screen Grab Hammer Shear Load Level Grade Demolish High Buildings. Excavator just Tracks into position and Swings its weight smoothly around loading or Segregating into Skips etc hence negating Dragging its 20 ton plus Mass around in soft miring Fuel sapping ground. Hate to admit it but The Track Loader is really confined to Steel Mill Applications nowadays

You’ve obviously never ran a JD 755k then
@@jeff7764 you're right I never run a jd755k the company I worked for just had cat equipment.

Thank you for showing off, all the neat things CAT has Engineered into these New ones.
we had 5 track loaders and only 1 excavator. versatility---demo, load trucks. push dirt, grade, mix soil, rake out rocks/debri and fast as hell.
is this the jc i think it is?
Iv got a very nice 955L owned it for 30 years,it's still a work horse, I'd love to have a new 53 BUT you just can't afford it doing custom work
Bad ass machine pure power

Beautiful machine
I have Hanomag track loader L600D very strong.
Love your vids Wayne!! Definitely can see your dedication! Keep em coming brother!
Una máquina excepcionalmente versátil . Me encanta.
Saludos desde España amigos 🙂
I have seen cat 977ls work railroad derailments and move things that I didn't think they could move, For one move railroad track sideways.
Love them
Good job!!
Can you make video about CAT backhoe loaders?
Some dozer guys are really surprised at the power and smooth riding when I let them
try out my new machine. It’s smooth and has plenty of power.
I'm Envying you.
Crawler loaders are the most versatile machines on the job. You just need talent and brains to run one

Do you actually go out and run these machines or just stay in your bedroom?
I am a really good operator. I miss it.
Cheers to you buddy hope you can run something again for fun
Cat dropped the ball by making a track loader become a skid steer the 973 k i drive runs real jerky and a rough ride.
