Compact Tractors are Designed All Wrong

I’ve never seen one of those in person if you don’t count log loaders.

Wheeled excavators are uncommon here. If the travel speed is better I’d rather have that over tracks.

They are fairly common around here for cleaning out ditches, many of them were made by Drott back in the day.

We’ve got big tandem axel trucks with booms on them for cleaning ditches. The wheeled excavator seems more practical for that.

Here it very common on machines doing finishing work and on wheeled machines since they are used as a multipurpose machine.

This type of bucket with side angeling I suppose is in use over there?

Our city street department has one (maybe 2) of those. It's easy to get it from site to site and functions very well.

The ones they have here, are pretty much dedicated to ditching. That way they can run down the road cleaning out ditches and they don't have to dedicate a truck and trailer to it to move it back and forth each day.

That page you linked said that thing weighed 85,000 pounds. It doesn’t look that big. Am I underestimating the size or is the picture wrong?
