I LOVE that loader! So far it's proven to be a real work horse. In 2 hours of hard work it got more material through the grizzly than the excavator is able to feed in a 6 hour shift! The Pacific Northwest weather hasn't been too friendly to RC machines lately. As soon as the weather quits raining, & dries out a for a few days in a row, I'll have er back in the mine site producing more material.


The loader has open diffs. I sometimes wish they were locked, but I know that would mean an even bigger turning radius. Having previously had ONLY the Bruder tracked loader to work with, turning radius WASN'T a problem when the production area was originally laid out! With zero turning radius things were laid out close together to make for less unnecessary travel distance.

I've ONLY got around 4 hours of runtime on the machine so far. as we add more hours to that count, time will tell if this machine is durable & long lasting as hoped.
