We used a 745c Cat tractor with tires & a MT4200 scraper pan. With the tires at optimum psi, you could indeed travel at 32mph, on a good haul road. Self loading did take time & if there was any ground moisture, it was easy to get stuck. Dozer assist helped, but in the end, for expedience, we went to a 349 with oversized bucket. Fill time 30 seconds. Traveling uphill or on spongy material fully loaded, forget it, 4mph. Tare weight 165000lbs, full load by excavator 65000lbs, 225000lbs of slow roll. Company is going a different route this season I hear... Good control & ability to lay down precise quality lifts, but too slow for needed production.
Makes Sense to use a Tracked 450 Because many times I see a D-9 Pushing Pans so why not !
Cheaper !
I would love to have a tracked ADT like this for pond work.
@pushysix scot I've seen one fisrt hand, they have power, but don't have the travel speed of a tractor, awesome for quick rounds tho, super noisy, like crazy noisy. They had some track issues with the one I seen, also some eject cylinder issues, I believe it was a prototype machine
Nice machine, but no good for our jobs here New Zealand, there turn radius is too big for our sites, 627 & D8R & Scoops struggle, biggest scraper down here is 637C/D/E/E-II/K on Expressway jobs, and even then the 637 is too heavy for our ground conditions, only big 657's and 660B's are in museums
What's if a really big rock appears during the drag? Tnx
l like the track one the best for what l need to but l still think that a 631G would the answer for longer halls...
How does it compare to a case quad track tractor?
you mean FIAT?
