I can't figure out why the track loader market died out on the West Coast. They work so well for spreading and walking in material, digging into a hard bank of material. The CTL/MTLs are popular but not fullsize track loaders.

@Graveltrucking Look at it this way part 2 of my long winded answer. MTL's are replacing track loaders like MIni-X's are replacing backhoes. Just because you have more attachments doesn't mean you're going to knock off your bigger older brother.

[Graveltrucking]

@vantagetes I never really beleived in fullsize track loaders till I started using one but they are limited on the terrian out on the West Coast of BC. Mini excavators have most definatly replaced rubber tired hoes. You have a mini and mtl you have a good combination. Rubber tired hoe operators are a dying breed and say 15 years ago they were common. A good backhoe operator can do some miracles with a rubber tired hoe. I started running backhoe then I had a career change.

@Graveltrucking But for everything you can do with a mini-x and an MTL you could still womp the shit out of both with a good backhoe and operator. They are a dying breed but it's a fad like anything else in a few years it will die out again. The tractor backhoe has been around a long time and the designs and technology for them just gets better.

@tarheellax92 There are many reasons, I actually have a video of why I am not particularly fond of it. I am working on cutting it down so it's not just 13 minutes of bitching.

@vantagetes its ok, alot of us like long videos

[MXpilotch]

However I like a lot to work with this kind of loader!

[generationll]

Its a nice view to watch.Nice to see that these 755Ks are getting out to market

[farlinj]

Mtl's are way cheaper also that would help out selling track loaders

But rocky areas you can't compete

[CreepySTATS]

Nice work it is very quiet

[mrbluenun]

What a sweet little tractor! So quiet as well, judged by its larger brother the D11 it looks kinda small but there is obviously a slot it fits into between the 150 tons or so of the D11 and maybe other smaller wheeled 'dozers eh?

Thanks for the upload, and have a wonderful holiday.

Take care

@D12caterpillar Thats what she said.... ahahahahahahahaha

[vantagetes]

@Graveltrucking Thats an easy one to figure out.... the TL is a dying art. The CTL/MTL business is booming because of the attachments and ease of transport. A 953 has a bucket... maybe forks and thats about it. A Cat 297C has dozens of attachments from buckets, to road mills, sweepers to hydraulic concrete pumps. TL's have been around what 50-60yrs? I'd bet that in the 12 or so years MTL's have been popular they've outsold every track loader ever.
