My dozer I have been wanting for a while.
 

I have been wanting one of the Stahl dozers ever since I played with Freddy's at Indy and now I have one. Here are a couple pics of it after I unpacked it.

Nice dozer Travis! I take it based on the way you wrote your first sentence that it comes built to this point and you finish it from here? I'm curious as to why they assemble it to this point. Can't wait to see it pushin' dirt:D

Re: My dozer I have been wanting for a while.
 

No it comes as a kit. I bought it from a member who started assembling it and decided he wanted something else. I still have a good bit to do. The ripper needs assembled, dismantle some of what is assembled for painting, taking the blade end off to fill it with weight, and than assemble it all and install the hydraulics and electrical.

Re: My dozer I have been wanting for a while.

That is a nice machine.

Re: My dozer I have been wanting for a while.

Re: My dozer I have been wanting for a while.
 

Looks like a nice grab. I can't wait to see your work on this one. Hope you enjoy it as much as I would......

Awesome! Cant wait to see pushing dirt or sitting on a lowboy!

Re: My dozer I have been wanting for a while.
 

goood deal Travis can't wait to see it all done and working

Re: My dozer I have been wanting for a while.
 

Nice! One of these would be fun to run, I bet. But for a first model, I think something like a wheel loader would suit me better. You still have a track loader too, right? How's that thing been running?

Re: My dozer I have been wanting for a while.
 

Congrats Travis! It's a fine performer! :cool:

Mine was 10yrs old in January.. got some minor machining to do on it.. it's pushed alot of dirt in the last decade.

Re: My dozer I have been wanting for a while.
 

Congratulations! It's a good performer :) Stahl may not make it anymore, but Leimbach is still in the business atleast.

Re: My dozer I have been wanting for a while.
 

Congrats Travis:D And if you get tired of it, you can send it my way...but I won't hold my breath, lol.:eek:

Congrats on your new dozer !!:cool:

Re: My dozer I have been wanting for a while.
 

Thanks Neil.

Thanks Dan I hope to have it done and ready for Indy but I have a lot of projects to finish before I can really get to work on this.

Thanks and the dozer will get its own truck and lowboy to haul it to the job site.

Thanks Henry I am ready to see it up and running my self.

I agree Nate a wheel loader would be more practical and when I first ordered a dozer and could not get it I think I got a better deal by getting the track loader which is like having both a loader and dozer. Now having the track loader which runs great and building a wheel loader the dozer curbed my want for an excavator temporarily.:D

Thanks Joe if the dozer can hold up to you it should be more than adequate for "00" Biddle excavation Co.:D

It would be nice to see some one start producing them again or at least make a dozer.

Thanks John and ya I would not recommend holding your breath.:D

Thanks and now if I just had the funds for an excavator.:( But in time it will come as well.

Re: My dozer I have been wanting for a while.
 

Ew ew ew. I bet know what tractor will be pulling that lowboy. That will be sweet! Congrats on the purchase Travis.
