Dirt Moving Yanmar C25R Track Dump

[Happy Gilmore]

Still love this thing! I would’ve made one heck of a mess with the tractor getting to where I dumped this stump.

Happy, I had finally put my jealousy to rest over this issue. Then you had to rub it in again.......

Oh man you have ALL the toys!!! Like ovrszd, I'm envious.


I would love to have a C25R even though I don't have a practical application for it - just because it looks like fun!


Practical questions: will those climb a substantially steeper grade than a wheeled tractor?

And - can a bulldozer blade be fitted for light grading?

It’ll climb like a billy goat. I’ve messed around in some fill piles, stumpage etc, but my terrain is relatively flat. It’s a beast in the mud. It’ll definitely go where wheels won’t. I don’t believe it can be outfitted with a blade, but then again anything is possible.

I wondered mainly if it would walk out of those tracks it it had to push something with more resistance than just climbing a grade.

Not really sure about pushing, it definitely can pull though, lol

I know that's right!! Look what it was doing the first of the Yr.. May as well say a Yr. later with No major or miner repairs mentioned. And still working like a champ from the Photo's............Jealous as ****!! Just being honest.......super cool.

Man I wish I had one of those things, I know it wouldn't be a daily user, but it sure would be fun and make life a lot easier when I am out cutting wood too.

Say, that sure is neat, and it reminds me that I keep meaning to build or buy a small trailer for the tractor.... Although I suppose that a 3pt. box about that size on the rear would do nearly as well.

Uh....come to think about it, I already have a FEL loader bucket that does much the same thing, and it can load itself and dump too. Darn. There goes all my excuses...

I welded up a set of 3-point forks that just take a moment to mount on the q-hitch. Then took a pallet and nailed a scrap of plywood on it. I liked that platform so much that I later made a larger, stronger one with bedframe angle iron around the perimeter.

The advantage of this plan is its easier to lift a heavy object onto the low platform compared to into a trailer. Here's a photo and another of the earlier version 1 platform. Photo - showing my pallet-based mulch bin. The 4x8 trailer also gets a lot of use, on-road and off.

But nothing could come close to that Yanmar crawler for sheer fun!

A load of stumps, this past summer.

 

[Jtullis13]

Yeah that is awesome. Just gives you a sense of accomplishment and a trailer load of fun!

That's what I figured. Esp. for the land I live on. 8 acres is wooded with Streams that has worn some serious Gully's. Plus swamp areas from boardering Lakes and ponds. So it's hard to get around places. It was select cut Yrs. ago before we owned it so if you see I don't have ROPs. that why. They would stay down and pretty much level besides was I just said. Another big plus for the C25. Don't see anything like that around here. Or on CR either for that matter. Trac loader...........

Out checking property lines after the winter storms. This is my other C25R, they’re both still going great!

[Happy Gilmore]

I have one, but I don’t see an option to attach video, lol, any input?
