One of my little tractors

Does this count? was my ride for all of like 10 min.......

I''d say that counts

I don't seem to have any photos of it in its normal dirty state, just a token drive-up-a-bank from the day I bought it. Should probably take it somewhere interesting and take some better photos.

It's a lot faster in reverse, you have to be very careful when people are working/walking around site.

I have always wondered what is the purpose of the triangle lugged track over the more usual grouser plate?

I know they are called swamp tracks....are they not spost to dig in or something? I would have thought a "swamp" track would be much wider for lower ground pressure?

Better weight distribution over the shoe and less aggressive traction wise. The triangle shape is effectively giving you a bit of lift as you move as opposed to a standard grouser which sinks in then breaks away soft material and cuts slots

Swamp tracks or Apex shoes.
I imported this late model low hour dozer late last year. Only using this machine for one job to push 15,000 tonne of imported metal prep and will put up for sale in a few months, I'm quite impressed with it but we haven't got enough ongoing work to warrant keeping it. We will make a bit of dough on the sale price as well. We then tip the dough into a new digger. Never ending merry go round.

Still living your childhood......only the toys and sandpit are bigger

Cant have enough toys, I dont throw many of them out of the cot.

The little red tractor(that could) that saved the day yesterday. The track was hard, off it,the empty truck sunk 6 inches. Was hoping to nab the half track, but was stacked deep in the shed
