HeavyGunner Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 My grandpa made a living with a 350 and a 450 JD dozer. They’re the best dozer made if you ask him.

carlotpilot Posted April 15, 2020 Author Share Posted April 15, 2020 (edited) for a medium loader they are hard to beat but if I were going out tomorrow to buy another loader I`d go looking for a nice 955l cat Edited April 15, 2020 by carlotpilot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1965 Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 (edited) Question, if you were to hit a stump (or whatever) what would keep it from flopping back besides the top of bucket? Guess I’m asking do you need a stop of some sort? Since no driveshaft doesn’t matter other than snapping cable or clamp or chain? From looks of gearbox and frame looks like like a bush hog brand? They are tough Edited May 25, 2020 by 1965 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are tough right on it is a bushhog brand from about 1954 . as for it flipping back don`t think the crawler will be moving fast enough to have that happen . there aren`t any stumps where I plan to use it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
