Wedico 966G VS. Carson LR 634?

[Lil Giants]

Leimbach provides their own special brushless motor that mates with their pump, it's what the Carson is using.

I'm not sure what the bore difference is in cyls between the two models and most small models today are using 2mm ID plumbing, where as some of the early wdc (or maybe still is) is using 1.5mm hose & fittings... it's not the pump, it's the plumbing size that determines the speed of hyd functions.

i set up the radio mixes & ran a carson LR 634 once (nice solid machine) and have run 966G's probably 15 or 20 hours or more (machines that i modified) and the LR 634 probably has a little bit more digging capability (because of the tracks) if they were working side by side... but the 966G does fine.

For me using a tracked vehicle as a loader gets boring quickly.. the 966G has a nice tight turning radius and is very maneuverable.

i have repaired and rebuilt quite a few Wedico 966G's... feel free to pm me if you get one and i can give you ideas on what should be checked and fixed to make it a better machine. Unfortunately the axles, trans and hydraulics need to be checked/improved to make it fun to operate..whether it is new or used..

Bang for the buck? i guess it depends on how cheap you can get a used 966G and how much your time is worth making it nice...
