Dirt Moving Yanmar C25R Track Dump

[Happy Gilmore]

Picked up a Yanmar C25R tracked dump today, hours unknown as the the tach / hour meter broke at 900hrs. I gave $1500. I believe it's gray market. It has brand new tracks on it and seems to run pretty good. Left drive sprocket is worn, right is good. I'm supposed to be getting a junker chassis which I have to go back to pick up, it has good sprockets, no engine, but a tranny, otherwise mostly stripped down.

That is an interesting machine. what would be the primary use of a little track dump? Any certain profession use those?

I've seen pictures of those in tight urban construction jobsites. I assume they are also used in mining where waste material gets dumped out of the way.

I think this is the larger of two similar rigs, and both have dual controls so the operator can face the load when precise handling is needed.

I've wanted to buy one since I first saw them but I don't have a practical use, it would just be a toy.


$1500, including a parts machine? Wow! I've never seen one offered below $5,000.

Yes sir. Parts machine isn't much to speak of though.

The tracks would be worth $1500!

I'd love one here on my property to move dirt and the likes around, would be very handy.

Here's the parts machine, has the undercarriage mostly intact which is good for me.

Managed to package this machine in with a couple other items, gave $400 for it. Looks to be in good shape, tracks are excellent! Only things it's missing is the fuel pump. Talked to the mechanic when I was leaving and he said the fuel pump was bad, that's it. Fingers crossed. Just got it home.

So, grand total for 2 complete machines and a junker, $1900.

Man those are some steals. Your right, that drive sprocket is shot but sounds like you'll have lots of parts to pull from

I'd have to buy that just to go play with it!

I'm not gonna lie, it is fun and looks pretty cool!

That second one is newer than the first one you bought. See if you can get it going and sell one, everyone loves a bargain :thumbsup:

 

[Happy Gilmore]

The first one was repainted yellow years back, you can see paint like the second one in spots where the yellow was scraped etc.

For that money.......Happy Gilmore for sure!:cool2:

These things are made to order for hauling gravel to narrow trails and roads.

Agree. This is the larger of two models. I think the little one is smaller than a WWII Jeep.

Yanmar also makes a similar version on tires. As I recall, four per side. It wouldn't have the flotation on soft ground like these but it might be a better choice for mining etc where the surface is firm.

These fascinate me but I can't think of a practical use for it.

There are ways to make it more useful.

I thought of 2 good reasons to use it. When I first seen it I was so interested I was zooming in on the Pics. Wow!!

I'd use the snot out of it in the timber when conditions are soft. I get impatient during wet years and end up in the timber with the tractors. Leave some pretty nasty ruts that I later have to repair. This would be perfect for those conditions. I maintain a LOT of 4 wheeling trails thru steep timber.

Wish Happy was my neighbor......
