I was hoping someone may have done this or tried to do this. I知 looking at both the Kabota L47 and M62. One question I have is can either of these load a tri-axle dump truck with the FEL? I have searched and googled and not come up with anything in that regards. The 47 dumps at 9.5ft and the 62 at 10.5 feet. I致e googled the height of tri-axle beds and come up with over 9 feet and over 11 feet high sides. So has anyone actually tried or done it? I have a lot of material here that I need hauled away and I知 wondering if one of these machines would allow me to do it myself. Thanks for any help.

I have done it successfully in my tri axle and my high sided single axle with an L-35 and L-39 while loading fill dirt and stone.
It was a pretty close call though. I made the situation easier by building a 1-2 foot high earthen ramp on the loading side of the truck. Problem solved. However, I dont know what youre loading.

I have about a 250x16 ft paved driveway that needs redone and I need to haul all the old asphalt out after tearing it up. I estimated like 30 loads in my 14,000 lb dump trailer. No way I’m doing that. It’s cheaper calculating my time if I load the tri-axle that dumps the process to haul it to their location than me doing it with my truck and dump trailer. I need to be able to load the tri-axle though.

I load my single axle dump with my M59. I don’t think there’s much difference in bed height with a tri axel. IMG_7955.JPG

I have a L47TLB and I drive a tri axle dump , To small never get the asphalt in the middle of the truck some dump bodies have 50'' side walls plus the tire height and sub frame.......

That’s even better. Take some old asphalt and stack it up to make a loading ramp. Dirt I was using tended to get all rutted up.

I guess I would go find the truck(s) I was going to have to load and see how tall they are.

Do like Haydude suggested and just build a dirt ramp tall enough that you can climb up to dump the load over the side into the trailer.

Spread or haul off the dirt after you're done.

My suggestion would be to just rent an excavator with a thumb. That will do a much better job of ripping the old asphalt out, AND loading it into a truck...whatever size truck you use.

I find with a tractor, I use it for 95% of the work I need to do, but for some specific jobs, it is just easier to rent a specific machine, for a specific job.
