It's ALL out of my price range!

What about the RC4WD Wheel Loader about half the price as the WEDICO and probably a better machine? I really like mine it's been very reliable and strong, plus I have the quick attach dozer blade and adjustable forks for it.

[Kausekaos]

Yeah I like that one, however It won't fit my project plan. Too big to fit on my Tag trailer. So far from what I see a track loader will and a bruder size wheel loader will. Another reason why I wanted a carson.

the rc4wd is a Chinese cat 980 sized machine

Yeah the Carson is a very cool loader, I just about pulled the trigger on one and I still may... Get on Premacons site, they have a Carson Track Loader pre-built, it just dosent have Hydraulics, pretty spends though.

Bigford I'm not looking at excavators just the loaders right now.

David I've been in love with them forever. Its what made me want to get into this side of the hobby.

thank god that the CAT 980 is a pay loader and NOT a excavator or I would look like I don't know what I'm talking about

[Kausekaos]

Ok so I dont then lmao, isn't the RC4WD onebthe 870K? And that this is bigger than my trailer.

[bigford]

that's why I said it was a cat 980 size machine. as its to large for your trailer.
that magom is about as large as I would go

[Kausekaos]

Still waiting for them to upload video of it. Who knows maybe i can pull off a carson and a magom.

Another alternative to Magom is CTI. They make a nice metal conversion of Bruder's wheel loader.

[Northern Farmer]

They even have a sweeper that you can buy to clean up the job site

Muddying up the waters some, Magom also makes a metal track loader kit. Cheaper than the Carson.

I know I was going to purchase that when it was released but I didn't like the ground clearance. I figure if I can work out this deal for the Carson I'll try to get a Magom wheel loader later. Or vice versa. Even tho i sold my daycab I do plan on buying another Grand later.

if I had the choice and money would get the track loader

Wheel loaders require more maintenance. While they are faster, they can get stuck easier and some RC loaders use transmission oil which needs to be changed on a regular basis to prevent damage to the transmission. Tracked loaders do leave scuff marks when ever they turn and they are not as fast.

I like both and I can`t say either is bad because I love them both.

More maintenance? Based on what? Which wheel loader do you have that requires transmission oil changes?

[Claus]

I have never seen an RC model use transmission oil but then I don't get out much.
