Pics of some neat equipment!

I took these Thursday at a dealership and thought I would share. Might get some ideas for your projects. Did not get any prices though the salesman was out at a farm show. Heres the link for the equipment. http/.hoelscherinc.com

Interesting, but I'd need a lot more horsepower than I have to pull most of that stuff.

That's some great looking stuff. The combo boxblade/roller would be perfect for most driveway repairs. Where can I buy their stock?

I took a glance at their scraper setup a while back and the prices were not cheap. It looks like good stuff, but it's not likely to be sensible $$-wise for people just maintaining their own driveway.

Now for making roads/driveways or a commercial operation, it looks like a nice ticket. Probably cheaper than running a dozer for the same tasks.

Those are cool attachments

Here is an ultimate atachment for a skidsteer I came across this at a Montana dealership.

WOW!!! Awsome AKPILOT, thats slick man! Bet that turkey is real expensive. Never seen that kind of a setup. Wonder how it turns, the steering wheel must be tied in with the controls on the skid steer, but still would turn hard. Thanks for the pictures!!

na, look at the front set of the skid stear... they are off the ground, so that only the rear set are driveing. steer the front just like a truck with a locked rear end (or tractor for that matter)

the question is could you generate enough traction to push it.....

 

[newt92]

Ya but the blade pushing down is raising the front wheels isnt it? Once you lift the blade, all the wheels are on the ground.

I think the operator can control the FEL on the SS, thus pushing with all four when plowing and then two when turning.

I see, that makes sense. Bet it takes a couple minutes to get efficient with this machine. Very complex. Thanks, Dennis!
