Cat Loader

[RobS]

Got a load of mulch today to make our current house a bit more presentable. Nifty little Cat loader at work loading. Some sort of quick attach bucket, bolt on cutter bar with no teeth. R4 tires. Four scoops = four yards and I was out of there. The operator did let my 3 year old stand with him in the cab for a photo as well /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Bet one would have grand time removing big snowstorm w/that Cat.

That is what I would call the ULTIMATE Tonka loader.
Now why didn't my parents buy me one like that when I was a kid, instead of that puny little yellow tin thing with plastic tires.

watched an even newer articulated cat work a screening machine the other day. they are very hard workers but make it look easy, rugged and attracitve they are but pricey. the 906 in the picture is 2 years old and 59,000 big ones

Maybe the same reason my parnets never bought me a tractor w/a fel...the mess I would have made. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

nice thing about these is you can clean up your mess

My dad was real nice! He bought "me" a 930 cat when I was a kid... When we would have one of those BIG snows (or the cement like snow that normal plows would just flip over on....), I use to plow snow all over town long before I had my license! Not to mention working the gravel pit (3+ yards per bucket... 3 buckets per 10 wheeler)! Fun... Altho, if we didn't have enough trucks going, the gravel pit could get a bit boring...

billboe,

Did anyone ever take photos of you and your cat cruising about the town? I can see it now, billboe and "his wheels" plowing a path to the market for fresh eggs and a gallon of milk. /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

 

[billboe]

Nope... no pics... /w3tcompact/icons/sad.gif but, i sure thought it was cool! /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

Wow !!!!!
A childhood with the Tonka loader of my dreams.
My other dream as a young boy was of Farrah Fawect, but let's not go there.
