Compact Tractors are Designed All Wrong

[Agvg]

So ordinary wheeled excavators based on same design as on belt is not on the us marked?

They’re used sometimes in road construction. Tracked excavators outnumber them by a significant margin. Like I’ve probably seen 20 wheeled excavators in my life.

Prices and Options for Multione
The Multi-One Series 9 could take the place of the a large utility tractor or an M62, except for the BH,
High Power Articulated Mini Loader - 9 Series - Multione

It is smaller and lighter than an L47 BH, but has 10 more hp, is very nimble and stable, plus stronger loader wise.

57 hp good for roadside mowing. Aux. hydraulic oil flow 95 l/min (25 gal/min) is fine for a hydraulic mower.

Series 9 can load dump trucks and be driven on road like a BH

The BH attachment suck however and town should still have a wheeled excavator or BH. for tough work.

At 40 HP, the Series 8 is is just right size and width for sidewalks & Municipal stuff.

High Torque Articulated Mini Loader - 8 Series - Multione.

Its the machine size to have for sidewalk maintenance and small repair digging & loader jobs.

72 l/min (19 GPM) Aux hydraulics is ok, not great. Flows about the same as the small Bobcat.

With with the same size tires I have on the front of my tractor the Seines 8 is only 45.3" wide

The MultiOne looks real nice and appears to do everything I would need. They have sizes up to comparable small utility tractors. The 2.3 series looks to be closest to a SCUT in terms of weight and capability, but from what I can tell the prices would be quite a bit more. They say they have a distribution site in Springfield, MO, but no address or dealers listed in the US.

Yep. They are pretty rare around here as well. I've seen the one the city owns, and a couple more in my life, but not very common at all. I've seen more gradealls than wheeled excavators.

Like this.... and they are pretty rare, as well...

Is there some restrictions on road use for such machines?

 

[SpringHollow]

Like Aaron said, all of the towns around here used wheeled excavators. Surprisingly, I see backhoes more used by the city maintenance departments vs the towns. But they are typically working in one spot on very small jobs (repairing a water line for example) and are trucked there.

Here backhoes disappear ages ago, som digger loaders is still in some use on the rail road and more special work.

There are usually axle weight limits, but otherwise not really.

The only backhoes I've seen recently are an old septic tank contractor (and I mean o-l-d... guy is older than the dirt he's moving, but well regarded in the poop industry), and the other is the company that contracts with several small cemeteries in the area, and they trailer that one in.
