I hope your right. All of the surrounding ground was like a sponge prior to clearing. Will create a little more maintance mowing with the cutter once or twice a year but that's ok. I don't mind that type of work.

He bought a 2018 model
https://www.takeuchi-us.com/compact-track-loaders/tl12r2-track-loader/
your right, it weighs 12,300lbs and has a tad over 14,000 lbs of traction force. He's getting a DEF alarm. A service call costs $175./hour, starting when they leave the shop until they get back. OUCH. He's looking into it, but it has proprietary software. I told him to drop it off, and drive it in the mechanic's bay himself, to save probably $750 travel costs. They cost about $120K new. OUCH.

I would be trailering it to the dealer for that price. My TV450 was $67k new with hvac cab, high-flow, ride control, air seat. I'm wondering where that extra $60k is justified on the Takuchi? Specs are not that different for almost double the cost.
On 2nd look that is a beast of a machine. 21 more hp and about 1100lbs higher on operating load at 50%. Would really have to need those extra specs for that price difference. Would make a good forestry machine if running drum mulchers.

Jeremy,
Been wondering the last few days. How is Lake Corona doing and how is the firework display business going?
hugs, Brandi

Bump because I am also curious how the lake is doing. This was a great thread to follow!

Looks like we have followed it to a dead end.

Eh I'm sure it's not intentional, he's just a very busy dude who may not have email notifications turned on, or sent to his primary account. He's probably built several other huge things by now, haha. Maybe... a new shop/barn, 2 miles of fence, and another pond?

As am I but I assume it's the busy season for the OP. Hopefully he'll be back soon.

Maybe the dam busted and he is ashamed to tell us?

Inquiring minds want to know case skid loader if I remember correctly
Man have I been gone over a year already? Sorry everyone. Time flies when your having fun I guess.
As for the way overdue update, no it did not fill and I never really did much more with it until this last couple of weeks. I finally decided to address getting some more runoff into the pond and began clearing timber so I can get it to come up in grass. Until now the surrounding forest is like a sponge and soaks up every bit of water. In doing some reading I've found that land in grass can absorb up to 2" of rain an hour where timber can absorb up to 14". Hopefully next year I can start to see the water needed to get it filled. Will post some pics of what Ive cleared soon.
