I have excavated countless yards of soil with my 4120. I used to own a 1010 Deere crawler loader and the 4120 will loosen hard ground almost nearly as well and move dirt faster in the long run because it is so much more manuverable and travels faster. I have dug out tree stumps I could barely move once they were loose. The crawler loader had WAY more hydraulic power in terms of lift and roll back so it takes a different technique with the CUT that took me awhile to get used to. If given a choice of the two I would pick the CUT unless I had a big load to move in a straight line over a short distance. Note the 1010 Deere and 4120 Deere have the same horsepower so it is a good comparison.
dude your saying a 1010 crawler loader with tracks digs about the same as a CUT on rubber?
the post is more about the designed purpose of the scut and cut loader, everyone with a FEL has done a bit of digging some more than others including myself. I just find it interesting when barney buys a cut and then gets on here and complains it wont break through hard packed clay in august. blames it on the tractor or who ever made the tractor, stats bashing the brand, then all of us tell him to buy toothbars and add weight to the rear of the unit. Its funny in a pathetic kind of way
