Hello folks! I am new to this website and a hopeful first time owner of a track loader. We live and work on our family cattle ranch in Northeastern Nevada. I deal with a lot of rocks, steep terrain, and soft, wet meadows. I have been researching the different brands of track loaders and learning quite a bit from what I read. I am looking at buying used and have my eyes on a Takeuchi TL140 or 150, a Cat 257B, and a John Deere CT 322. My question to all of you is what do you recommend as the best for my application. I need a machine that is not too heavy on wet meadows, can easily move around and lift 1300 + lb. hay bales, unload and carry 2,000 lb pallets of feed and such, and also move lots of dirt and snow around! Any ideas guys!? Thanks!
