I’ve been on a couple of earth moving projects where they used these.
We've got a couple of quarries here that are close to a mile to the bottom of the pit. I'm pretty sure they can pay for them, without having to dig too deep .... into their bank accounts, that is.

I've got some dirt to move around my couple acres and the bucket on my little blue guy doesn't carry much in one load.



But then I saw this today and .... well ....

Maybe Time to augment that LM 125 with a mid sized CUT and around a 1/2 yard bucket?

Looks tremendously useful -5k capacity, hydraulic dump, & seat reverses to go either direction
I want one

Where you at? Could I borrow it? I'll fill the fuel tank---maybe.

Ugh those look like a ton of fun; the local Yanmar dealer had one sitting on the lot for quite a while, I loved it from afar lol.

I looked at renting one. The dump beds are really small. Maybe 3-4 bucket loads. I realized it’d be easier to just drive the tractor with a full high capacity bucket.

Fun? Yep!

Few years back, an excavating company had something that would have been great for someone with a long gravel driveway. Looked to be about a half scale motor grader. I'm not sure the whole thing was 30' long.
