Where to Purchase Chinese Dozers?

[mrutkaus]

I see NorthernTool doesn't sell them anymore, I guess that means something, but for the ********* in me, who does currently sell these Homier (no response), Nortrac, Yuchai type 30 dozers? I am in VA.

Thanks

Mike

A simple Google search of "Yuchai dozer" would have produced an adequate amount of dealers for you to peruse. Not sure where you got your info, but the re-branded NorTrac dozers are still available on Northern Tool's website (still includes free shipping).
Do you have any experience operating older bulldozers?

And why do you say *********?

 

[mrutkaus]

Thank you for your kind comments and generous assumptions, I have been "simple searching" all morning, that's why I came to my buddies here!

Northern tool doesn't have them anymore. They have one with a backhoe for $25K, but not just the dozer.

Yes I did drive a large bulldozer for a few minutes when I was ten years old.

I said ********* because most people say they are nothing but trouble!

I think that you will find that the people that say "they are nothing but trouble" are inexperienced with dozers and have too high expectations. Dozers, by their very nature and the type of work that they do, are high maintenance. One cannot compare it to a wheeled tractor. I like mine and it performs very well. It hasn't ever given me a problem I haven't asked for - except for diesel bugs. You can check mine out on CTOA if you like.

Sorry but...CTOA?

 

[mrutkaus]

Sounds good to me, I probably read some of your stuff.

Anybody know a place to purchase them on the East Coast?

CTOA is "Currently Trying Or Asking" it is the website of the Chinese Tractors. Ha ha. No, it is Chinese Tractor Owners Organization. CTOA.com or something like that.

Thanks,

Mike

Wow that stinks, I bought mine from them a couple yrs back and have had awsome reliablitity with it. Any issue I did have, they were more then helpfull with. I'm with BR about how to use a small dozer like these. I have logged, done drive work, plowed snow, dug ponds, moved boulders, dug out stumps etc... with mine and it did just fine. Even had a BH hooked to it for a shrot while.

Good to hear that maybe I'll ask them about it.

How big a tree will it push over/out?

Watch this video. At about 2:23 you'll see a poplar going over.

All of my implements mount to the Harbor Freight Quick Hitch, including the backhoe.
