My new toy
 

I picked this up today instead of the dozer I had ordered. I also liked the idea of a loader so with this I get some of both in one machine. I also ended up with some extra $ to play with.:D

Travis that looks good now you got to paint it. Ed

Re: My new toy
 

Cool, Travis. Is that a Stahl model? I've really been wanting a loader too. I keep going back and forth on it. I want to buy one, but I have a hard time spending the money right now. It makes me want to sell off all my other non mini trucking RCs, so I can raise some funds!

Re: My new toy
 

Awsome travis ...it looks as though you even put it to work already at Indy..congrats....:D

Re: My new toy
 

It looked good today nice to see such a beautiful machine run.

Re: My new toy
 

Thanks guys I can not wait to get it painted and ready for some work.

Re: My new toy

Re: My new toy
 

Nice model....Was that at a mall or some sort of retail outlet ??

Re: My new toy
 

Not that I'd keep it that way, but I think they look cool in raw form, Congrats on the purchase.

Re: My new toy
 

Travis I think Steve is just trying to get his hands on it . Ed

Re: My new toy

Re: My new toy
 

Nice loader Travis.

Can you post up some vids of it when you get a chance?

Re: My new toy
 

This is a stahl loader and it was put together like this when I bought it on friday at the Indy toy truck and construction show at the Wyndham hotel. The only thing I have done so far is take out the airtronics radio and instal a spectrum. I will try and get a vid as soon as I can but here are some more pics of the loader on my new carson drop deck.

Re: My new toy
 

Congratulations Travis, what paint scheme are you going with (cough)CATERPILLAR?

Re: My new toy

Re: My new toy

Re: My new toy
 

I look forward to seeing progress on the loader. That carson is nice though I have never liked the ramps on it.

Re: My new toy
 

Travis, I have video of you running the track loader at Indy. Have never posted a video before, so may take a few days to get it figured out.

Thanks for letting me operate your rig this and appreciate the hobby discussions. I keep learning by watching and listening.

Thanks!

Re: My new toy
 

nice track loader !!!! is it all metal? i thought some of them were mostly plastic

Re: My new toy
 

Thanks Clyde it is all metal and I cant wait to get it in the dirt.:D

Re: My new toy
 

When u get the new trailer?

Re: My new toy
 

Sun afternoon as we were packing Ric up to go home I made a deal so he didn't have to pack it up.

Re: My new toy
 

looks like a deere or a lebeir but lehbeir makes the deere loaders like that for deere still cool though

Re: My new toy
 

It is a Lebeir but I will find a cat # that looks close.

Re: My new toy
 

I lost your number i had it in the pm on the garden but like i said in my thread nothin has really changed lol

Re: My new toy
 

Travis, I have some video of your trackloader @ work at the show. I'll see if I can post it up here for you. Its definitely the first one I've ever seen and the first one I've seen working...

You're a nice guy like that!! :D

You have my convinced, if its for sale and you're within ear shot, its going home w/ you!

Re: My new toy
 

Thanks Rod a video would be cool. Man I didn't buy every thing I ran out of cash before I could. :p LOL

Re: My new toy
 

Guess I need to check more of the posts. Didn't know you got the trailer, too. Did you leave anything for Ric to take back to Arizona? Glad you are having so much fun with the loader. Can't wait to see it at St. Louis all painted up and ready to work. Trailer needs some paint too!

Re: My new toy
 

I know it needs paint, but I kinda like it naked on that trailer..

Re: My new toy
 

what happened to the dozer ..... but i guess a dozer is no good to load your dump trucks:D:D

Re: My new toy
 

The dozer got lost in translation I guess but this is actually better I get a dozer and loader all in one.

Re: My new toy
 

yea , you can push and load :) I don't know travis I still think it'll look better like this http://www.machinerytrader.com/listi...x?OHID=6704005 :p:D :rolleyes: I guess for you :rolleyes: It'll be a 963 looks to big for a 953

Re: My new toy
 

Their pretty strong too..I was just recentley watching one building a road on youtube..As long as you keep the grade level your ok...Travis once you get your first construction model your hooked ...lol ..Better save lots for Indy next year:):D

Re: My new toy
 

Welcome to the constr equip model scene Travis... the 1st of many I'm sure! :D

The play value of these models outweighs the price by leaps & bounds! ;)

Re: My new toy
 

Thanks Joe I need to find some time to paint it but I think I will play with it some more first.

Re: My new toy
 

Congrates Travis

I agree with Joe, time goes by so fast when operating these construction models, it doesn't take long before it seems like your are in the machine. ( gettin er dug ) LOL

Re: My new toy
 

nice machine can not wait to see it painted

Re: My new toy
 

I stopped to get a little dirt for dad’s new garden and my buddy who has an excavation business filled my pickup so good thing it's an F350 with extra springs. So this gave me a place to play with the loader today I made a video but it was going to take up 1/3 of my photo bucket so you guys will have to settle for some pics.

First I had to break up some of the big clods so here is my pulverizer.:D
