I love track loaders. I’m 22 and once I learned to run one I fell in love with them. Up here in VA they are on almost every job site and almost every contractor have at least one. I also agree that I think they should be in more places in the US
I learned to run one once I started as a heavy equipment operator a few years ago. Now I run mostly excavators and rubber tire loafers but track loaders are still my favorite.
Trackloaders will always have a place in my heart. It cool to meet people the same age as you that like this kind of stuff. If you can put up some footage of you running equipment. I am already subscribed ;)
I also want to thank @Benjamin Beytekin and @MrZygy3. I feel if it was not for these two TH-camrs, viewers would have not taken this channel seriously. Thank you both! GO SUBSCRIBE TO THEIR CHANNELS LINKS IN THE DESCRIPTION
I still can’t believe track loaders are not popular everywhere. So many people don’t know anything about them and just assume a excavator is the only way to dig, or when they need a loader the largest thing they know is a 12,000 lb Compact Track Loader. In Maryland they are used everyday on every job site.
With only being on this planet for 23 years it seems to me trackloaders are a southern thing. Maybe cause we like getting a bang for our buck, or maybe for bragging rights because not that many young operators can operate a traxcavator correctly. I see them a lot in North Carolina as well.
CATJOHNDEERE Once you go west of the Mississippi they practically don’t exist. They are a jack of all trades. We use them for clearing, digging foundations, backfilling, rough and fine grading, loading trucks, installing driveways and the best thing is being able to carry dirt to locations not accessible for a truck. Plus they can run forever.
Keep us updated, and informed on that new piece of iron you got if you do not mind. I am curious about the K model loaders, and if they will run forever especially now since they are pretty much computers. What are the noticeable differences between your K model 953 and the B model? For instance pushing power, fuel economy?
CATJOHNDEERE power is great, it just doesn’t slow down. Fuel economy has to be my favorite thing, in a good 8 hour day digging a foundation it’ll only use 38-40 gallons of diesel. My operator says his favorite thing is how quite the cab is. I will say the air conditioning fans are louder then the engine is at full throttle. Time will tell how reliable it is, like you said it has a lot of electrical components on it plus all the emissions components. The more complicated a machine is the more things can go wrong.
Mooi shot met de machine

B&K Excavating LLC I believe if you baby it you got nothing to worry about. Like my grandpa use to say "You can not beat a Cat loader".
Those worn tracks are killing me.
Hopefully they've been replaced by now.
