If you did you would destroy a LOT of their individual efficiency. That's their advantage of a TLB.

You did realize that my tongue was planted firmly in my cheek when I asked about welding them together, right?

You bet, if you happen to have a spare $200K. Or this used one for a mere $170K. https://www.machinerytrader.com/listing/for-sale/208990037/2019-mecalac-7mwr-wheel-excavators I am sure everyone on TBN is going to start lining up to buy one. LOL Our drivers hated these things for bending more truck boxes than any other piece of equipment around, and they are useless on soft ground.

I forgot about those. But when you’ve exceeded the cost of an excavator and skid steer or loader combined what was gained?

One machine easier to load & trailer. One less operator if you need both at same time.
Probably less maintenance. But 2 machines has some advantages

IDK about farm tractors. The CUT loaders were manufactured in US, but maybe that has changed?

The one I looked at, clearly said "made in china" right on the loader.

I don't know. Never priced one.

The dealer for Mecalac, somewhat close to me, sells roughly one of these machines a week, the tracked one though. Which is quite good considering this is a small country and how skeptical people were about these machines. They're gaining some momentum.

For the most part, small contractors really love their JCB 1CX and won't get rid them for anything.

The small mecalac is 160k at my dealer.

Absolutely. I responded for those that might not have caught that.

2 operators in 2 machines can get more done. You can work 2 sites at once with 2 machines which I do frequently. Also if one machine were to break you still have half your equipment vs none. I wouldn’t be anti the idea if the cost was reasonable but that’s more money than I have in my CTL, mini excavator, backhoe, and dump truck combined.
