Default Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)

Thanks Joe,

Yes, I was eyeballing them for my Wife's dump truck, but 25mm is too much sticking out, I don't think that would look too good. Maybe a future Mack build...

Like your JD Excat? That thing is huge, watched your video loading the 5 gal buckets
and you can barely fit the hoe bucket in there.

Opinion: I'm trying to decide between two different pieces of equipment:
1. The Fumotec PC490. Same builder / designer I believe as your JD, right. Seems like a nice kit, just not sure on the power and noise of the hydro system, hate it when they have that loud high pitch whine.

2. The Carson Track loader. They are supposed to come out with a 4in1 bucket for it that would make loading 'normal side height' dump trucks much easier since the loader doesn't have the bucket height needed to load a taller truck correctly / fully.
