Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
I measured the Mammoth @11.75", if memory serves me correctly, it wouldn't be a half inch clearance... you'd need a different box.
 Even @15L load, I'd get a lot out in a few hrs every day!  Tandem & tri pup should do pretty well (maybe close to 10L) if the corners aren't too much trouble to navigate.Your series of Mack, did they ever make 6wd? That makes a huge difference for steering control, especially when carrying alot weight on the front axle. I have 3 Stahl models & now the 850 with a 4.8v rx battery installed with the BEC coming from the Sabertooth esc as well. I never have to recharge that rx batt b/c the BEC from esc is keeping it charged & the batt takes care of the current spikes when they happen so no glitches or time outs.  Here's some pics of tires... I did some horse trading with PFB, got his excavator dollies, so I think they're the same tires you're using? 1st pic - tires from the wheel loader & the other is from the adt.    Nathan used that foam wrap to fill the tires, which created a flat spot where ever it ended... I tried to redo it, butting the ends together with each wrap, but still had a bit of a flat spot where it met. I tried a few other tires I have on hand, but they don't fit the Mil-Spec rims.,.. Then it occured to me today (while taking the pics) that I should turn out some tire fillers from oak! Make the donuts, cut each one in half so I can get them inside the tires for a true round smooth rolling tire... then maybe I can use them without pulling the track hoe out of the dollies b/c of skidding wheels while on the move?!

Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
They never made a 6WD to my knowledge . I think Nate used the 1.9 which are smaller then what I have . mine are 5" dia . I found some on RC machines in Germany I'm just hesitant to buy . they also have nice 1's that get me closer to the size I need on the 990 . I have foundation sill seal wrapped in the fronts . no matter how hard I tried to keep it from over lapping , It bounces . I gotta find the stuff Reg uses . All the furniture co's are gone in my area from when I was a kid

Re: Hauling Dirt out of my basement (present day)
The foam I use comes from an automotive upholstery shop. I did the 850KW's fronts the other day and they now work great. I have a home for those mil specs Joe....
