Skid Steer + CTL Pictures!

[JNB]

Did the end of the frame splay out or is that how it's built?

You haven't seemed to have very good luck with that 320!

It's just the camera that makes it look like that.

The more I replace...the better it gets!

Yep, won't be long until the machine is replaced!

LOL.

Hopefully the machine makes it to spring without a lot of work.

Sure is quiet around here. Are y'all busy polishing up your snow weapons?

 

[KSSS]

Looks good!

 

[JNB]

Looks good!

Thanks! We're in our second day of rain, so I'm finally able to catch up on calls and bids. How do you like your new skid?

Were busy with fieldwork and finishing up harvesting.

Nothing skid steer related but we bought another new Fendt. a 722. Handy little tractor that packs a punch. It looks little but its actually not, 220hp and can be ballasted to 29,000lbs if you want. We got a loader for it too.

Been pretty busy this fall. Glad the snow has stayed away. Dry enough for mulching in low lying area's.

Good looking tractor. Too bad there isnt a fendt dealer in our neck of the woods.

Great Pictures - How do those airless wheels on the Cat hold up???

 

[durallymax]

The Tweels been working great, the new All Terrain style has been even better. Very happy with them. If you need an airless tire I would strongly consider them. They are a bit more than other airless but the benefits of a soft ride and good traction are worth it. Wear life is similar or better than other airless and they are retread able. I would caution again using them for demolition work where objects could stick out and tear the spokes. If you already tear a lot of sidewalls on your tires then it would be a concern, otherwise I wouldn't worry much. The spokes are recessed, not flush with the edge and the Tweel will operate with broken spokes just fine. The other concerns everyone speculates over really don't pan out in the real world. Mud, rocks, cold weather, heavy loads, etc etc do not affect the spokes. You really need a rigid object protruding out to actually tear one. We tore a couple on our old set but they still performed fine. Have not seen as much as a tiny knick on this set in the 400hrs they've been running. The new spokes are heavier than the old ones and have a different shape to them as well. The tread seems to be maybe wearing a bit quicker but the traction is much better than the originals. The originals would've easily surpassed 2500hrs before needed to be retreaded but at 2k hrs the opportunity arose to try the all terrains so I went that route.

The Bibsteel Radial is great if you don't need an airless tire. Steel belting resists a lot of punctures and the ride is unbelievable. Wear life is double of a bias as usual.

Thank you so much for that info! We are in Central Texas with sharp rocks and mesquite thorns everywhere. This could be the solution.

 

[durallymax]

Should work great for that. Good company to back them up too.
