[QUOTE="spitzair, post: 66591, member: 3333"] I'll also vote for the track loader. I bought 2 Cat 977H loaders a few years ago for $5500 for both! One had a worn out undercarriage but it runs like new and everything works, the other had a brand new undercarriage but there's an issue with the engine. It runs but only on 5 cylinders and it smokes a lot and has lots of blow-by... I took the tracks from this machine and stuck them on the other one and now I have an excellent loader. If I could have just one machine it would definitely be the crawler loader. You can do so many things with them! I've used it for many different projects. It has no problems pushing over 2 foot diameter fir trees, it lifts like crazy, loads a tandem dump truck with about 4 or 5 scoops, pushes amazing amounts of dirt, and it's really stable on slopes too. Plus, this one has a hydraulic winch on the back and I've pulled some substantial trees with it. http://www.heavyequipmentforums.com/showthread.php?19410-Doing-a-bit-of-work-with-the-977&highlight= Here's a link to a thread with some pictures over on HEF... If you can get a good deal on something like this I think you can't go wrong. [/QUOTE]
