Unique Hoe Counterbalance Setup on 350 Widepad Crawler

Post by Tigerhaze » Mon Aug 05, 2013 11:37 am

I ran across photos of this setup on Epay and thought it was worth sharing; it's amazing what people will fabricate in the shop as I assume this was not a factory setup.

Looks like the fuel tank has been moved as well.

9300 hoe

A 9300 hoe is very heavy even for a 450C. With a dozer and a 9550 hoe they are an okay setup, but still needs weight on the Dozer to balance the machine.

Should get a cross wet ground nicely.
