Go to some of the online equipment classifeds. The most popular brand is Morooka; now owned by Komatsu I think.

I want one too... /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Scott my older brother had a few of these tracked dumps in his dirt moving businesses, I think Morooka was bought by Mitsubishi, or IHI. We had a small Morooka and Yanmar the Yanmar had tires though 8 wheel drive with 2 steering clutches. THe run thing about it was it was a direct drive power shifft and had a 3 speed transmission perside. Fun to put it in revers on one side and 3rd on the other. We used them in tight spots for dumping gravel or hauling spoil out of steep slopes to save trucks. I liked the Morooka because the seat swiveled to a set of rear controls when backing into a narrow alley or a tight hill.

What do you mean by that?

It seems Walmart uses non union companies when building there stores. (I don't know if that is the case all over) That was a big issue here. Union electricians, masonry workers, carpenters etc. even staged an informational picket.

 

[Robert_in_NY]

I figured that was what he meant, however, why shouldn't non union workers be able to work? This doesn't belong here in this thread and I don't mean to hijack it but I get tired of everybody complaining about non union companies. But enough of my views. That chipper is one great toy /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Robert:

I apologize for disrupting the thread. I am just pro union. Wal Mart is anti union. That's a well publicized fact.

Again, I am sorry I ruffled your feathers.

Have a nice day......

 

[Robert_in_NY]

No problem, just two different views that we have. Take care.

I would love to see the walmart bulldozed and sold for scrap. One of the most un-American companies I can think of on any number of different levels. Everytime someone shops at walmart they make the Waltons and the sweat shops they buy from richer while pissing American jobs down the toilet.
Keep the trees - flush walmart.
