Re: New Dozer from Premacon
 

Never really been a dozer fan but that machine is nice.

Re: New Dozer from Premacon
 

looks nice any idea on the cost of the dozer

Re: New Dozer from Premacon
 

I'm not sure if cost is something to worry about as to WHEN you receive the product is the killer! Currently all orders of their excavators are on hold until July 2018! So when you place your order hopefully by July 2018, you will then have to wait a few more months to receive it.

Premacon has a message on thier website for the excavator regarding this. Not sure if this applies to their other models.

Regardless, the dozer looks fantastic.

Re: New Dozer from Premacon
 

Apparently, they're looking for a new vender to make they're parts . That takes time .

Re: New Dozer from Premacon
 

Sorry this post is not correct. We actually start a new production process. At the fair in Friedrichshafen 2016 we will start again with ordering. There is no on hold till july 2018. So please stop posting wrong thongs.

best regards

I apologize as I misunderstood then from reading what was posted on your website.
I have only posted one topic regarding premacons deleivery date. Not sure if you are confusing me with someone else?
Again, I apologize for any misunderstanding. Always contact the vendor for more information. I was just passing along what I understood.
Thanks,
Shawn

This is directly from your website.
"Dear customer,

Thanks for the inquiry about our models. We are currently out sold to 07/2018.
We can call currently no exact delivery dates for new orders. That is why we are working on a new network of suppliers and personnel in the production.
You may register on a waiting list are welcome. However, we cannot actually quarantee any fixed sale price.
We will inform you exactly in about 8 weeks.

Best regards

Re: New Dozer from Premacon
 

Yeah I noticed our German counterparts build great looking accurate to detail dozers, but from what I see they don't seem to have the power to play in rough material as the models simply aren't heavy enough to handle it.

Re: New Dozer from Premacon
 

We built a 25 Ton machine. It is no problem to play in hard ground. but you compare it with d9 or that stuff. therefore you should compare with a a 776.

all people wished a smaler machine for playing in Parcours.

More videos will follow

Re: New Dozer from Premacon
 

Which makes great sense. In Germany you guys have beautiful rc construction sites with everything looking to scale for members to come play. On the hand over here in North America the hobby is still rather new with guys rather doing their own thing in their backyard and end up moving heavier material around then you would in a indoor site setup.

Re: New Dozer from Premacon
 

" It is no problem to play in hard ground"

OK, show us then. That's all we ask before we consider parting with $5000 maybe more (at a guess) plus $700 shipping (at a guess plus insurance and import duties and State taxes).

But you compare it with d9 or that stuff. therefore you should compare with a a 776.

1:1 776 at 73 tons is a D10 size machine, not D9R.

1:1 4T3 T-800 is 106 tons, not a 776 at 73 tons. T-800 = D11 or D475-5.

Re: New Dozer from Premacon
 

I've always accepted that no matter what hobby it is your always going to have to mod/upgrade a bit. For the most part no manufacturer develops machines for what we plan for them. Just not in the price point, especially regarding drive train. That being said the manufacturer better have spot on customer service for replacement parts and room to develop better parts. As farmer pointed out seems the EU customers are running at events with perfectly groomed events while some of us are just backyard turf busters.
Mainly just whats available to each own. Either way all these machines are pretty **** good platforms to base off of in my opinion.
Don't want to get too harsh on these manufacturer's fella's. It's a small niche hobby and unless you have the tooling or someone in the field to do it for ya their what we have and they can disappear like a fart in the wind if we don't support.

Re: New Dozer from Premacon
 

Well put Benny!

Re: New Dozer from Premacon
 

better watch out!!! you cant pick on german stuff or joe will get upset

Re: New Dozer from Premacon
 

OT. Hows that BB D11 coming on Bigford?. Been a while since we seen anything. I can't wait to see that big brute hit the dirt.

Re: New Dozer from Premacon
 

it wont be as smooth as this dozer that's for sure!! waiting on the machinist
to free up some space for me

Re: New Dozer from Premacon
 

If you used a Dimension Engineering 60Amp dual motor controller and PWM to run those big wiper motors and set the ramping up using their DEScribe software via the mini-USB cord from your computer to the motor controller and tuned the motor controller and the wiper motors it would.:)

Re: New Dozer from Premacon
 

No offense , but that LIL dozer is pushin loose rock . If attacked properly it can be moved by any of these RC model dozers, just takes a lil longer . Yes, I have over 30 Years experience operating dozers mostly small 1's . You learn how to get-R-done with what you have and not brake it .
