Why buy a track loader?

[lonkinggroup]

There are two choices in front of me, the tracked loaders and the wheeled loaders. How do i know which to choose? In which circumstances should i buy the tracked one?

Track loaders are mainly used when you need floatation..... Places where you'd just get buried/stuck in a rubber tire loader. But also they have to be trailered everywhere, with rubber tires you can road from job site to job site.....if close enough lol

With all due respect lonking, have you not already asked this question?

If you're sitting in front of a plate of food and you have a spoon and a fork in front of you, how do you know which one to use?

I like the way you think! Now, using the same logic: you've got a half can of sardines and a roll of toilet paper in front of you.....how do you know which one you need?

Me...I would err on the side of caution, feed the sardines to the dog and take the toilet paper.:cool2

Tracked for steep hills, soft ground. Tired for road passage, speed. Tracked, higher maintenance.

Why, your hands of course...who wants to do the dishes anyway!

I've been looking for an older track loader with a hoe on the back for farm type use. I've seen a couple for sale, but it looks like they weren't the most common setup.

lonkinggroup would just pick up his chop sticks joispoi. He does not have to make decisions of fork or spoon. Or in his case instead of a loader just go get 400 chinese with shovels.

Patriot. I have a John Deere 450C with a John Deere 95 backhoe. It has a quicktatch system where you can have the hoe unhooked and removed, or back on in a very few minutes. If interested send me a pm.

I am ready to part with it.

I think it all depends upon your need. find out your need and determine characteristic of truck loader and wheel loader and choose which fulfill your needs.
