DennisThornton 4,769 #3 Posted December 6, 2020 I'd like to know how it holds up and what it will do. I have little experience with tracked machines and not enough to compare rubber to metal. I too would love a Struck but I never seen them come up for sale. I'd be interested in a small dozer but I don't want another year long project rebuilding one. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 67,486 #4 Posted December 6, 2020 That's just adorable. Not sure we'd have a practical reason for it considering we have dozer blades and a mid mount grader blade. But it sure is neat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Loaded and weighted tires on chains. Hydro lift with good control. Might be a close contest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When you get a chance,Google mini dozer and surprisingly you will see others made mini dozers likely before Charlie Struck ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They made this stuff, it gets old and it gets sold but why don't I ever see it? I passed on an older struck crawler last year because I talked myself out of it. " Do I really need it?" I asked myself. Next time I will follow thru, life is short enough as it is. If I see one your way I'll give you a shout out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm 68 and I'm starting to ask myself "Do I really want it?" a little more now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
