JDcrawlers Messageboard

I feel like what I'm getting as the general opinion is.... They aren't great for stumps. That is just fine though. I mostly need it for pushing around some large piles of dirt, leveling an area, and making a small road.

Is there any noticeable difference between gas and diesel machines?

Lavoy, Thanks for the response! I really know nothing about tracks. What is the main difference between a machine with 4 or 5 rollers? Obviously 1 roller, but functionality wise. Good point. I'm used to pulling them out with a backhoe, so soil really isn't the biggest issue for me. I was thinking ab...

Hello all, I've been interested in crawlers for a while now and I finally have an excuse (albeit small) to get one. They seem to be extremely hard to come across here (other than a few MC's I've seen and something from the '20s without a blade), so I'm not sure I'll have a ton of choice, but I'd lik...

sent one too

Hey Stan, sent you a PM

You have PM

I like the one on nc4x4 ... Anyone have an opinion on that? Is it worth it? What would the repairs cost?


How easy would it be to dig into the ground, as if to make a pond, with a bucket like that?

Edit- possible backhoe attachment would be perfect for me. If anyone has one please let me know

Stan, Thank you very much! I would really appreciate that and will send you a PM when I can figure out when I would be more available to head over!

Thank you. I haven't been sure what to really look for. I'm not a collector and know very little about them besides I need to dig a large level pit and that I have always wanted something with tracks...

Edit: I would still like to purchase a crawler, closer to Durham \ North Carolina the better- but one with a backhoe attachment would be ideal.

If you're interested in trading too, I have a beautiful 1969 triumph tr6c (the bike, not the car)

Thanks
