Dozer vs Trackloaders

[ihbuilder]

A track type loader has better traction then a rubber tires loader . Therefore , it has better digging capabilities in virgin or compacted soils . As said above , a track loader is meant for softer footing (to a point , they will still sink like lead in muck ) whereas , a rubber tired serves will on hard surfaces i.e, quarries , infrastructure work /repair . Now a dozer is best at pushing and grading whereas , a loader loads ( as my dad would say "best at fetch and carry " )

Oh Neil who dug basements with a loader ???? need a hole in the ground dig with a shovel right

I just remembered 3 more contractor's that dug basement's with there loader's, One of them had a heel cutting edge on the back of his loader bucket for grading. Now both of my skidsteer bucket's have heel edges too!
Cheer's, Neil.

I had a 544 j and a 544 k both had 28L26 skidded tires on them and they both would dig like crazy and had floatation. I could out dig my dads 963 track loader.
