2/28/2024 0 Comments Struck mini dozer for sale on ebayI guess I am reading the tractor recommendations as being able to carry more weight and the truck recommendations as being able to do the work faster. I hadn't considered that.goes to show how much I have to learn from the more experienced folks here. Good point about being able to use the blade to clear a trail and push debris away. That gets old in a hurry and stops me from doing anything with the wood in the interior. Otherwise, I get to carry the wood out by hand. Right now, I park at the edge of the wood and fell all the trees in that direction. In some cases, by letting the ground dry out first. I've had to unstick myself using boards, come-alongs, and shovels. My current pick-up is 2WD without a locking differential and can move around in the drier and flatter areas if I put snow chains on it and the ground is dry. Just whatever drains off the pasture during rains. It just washes away if there's no roots in it. This probably explains the erosion issues I am having, as you can almost stick your hand into the ground and grab a handful of soil. There's a noticeable "give" to the ground. As I walk through the timber, it feels like I am walking on one of those rubber/foam mats. Once you get into the timber, it is the same stuff but loaded with organic matter and it all becomes even more soft and loose. The ground is a very soft/sandy clay out in the pasture area (to the very rear of the pictures I posted). It's helpful to hear from people who have done this sort of work before. If I can think of anything else I'll revisitÄ®dit: turning around where it's flatter will be a better plan, but not at the low point. Old tractor tires or car tires will work with a smaller machine, throw that under the track(s) and the grousers will pull it under and a lot of times it will walk itself up and out. Make sure you have a plan to get unstuck before you get stuck. Making a dray or some type of sled or aid to help the logs from digging in will make a big difference. Also staggering your track marks will help in soft conditions. If your "haul road" starts rutting, drag it off with the blade. The blade will be good for pushing those downed logs out of the way, and some smaller trees to make an access road. Try to track in a straight line going up the steeper sections, avoid trying to turn as you want as much power going to both tracks as possible. Gradual turns will be your friend, you won't tear as much up. What type of soil is under the topsoil? Clay will be an issue if it's wet. Honestly, that doesn't look bad at all to me, but I do this for a living. Maybe lay a couple logs as a bridge parallel and in the creek bed itself to track across with the mini dozer. Serious inquires only pleaseÄue to the amount of spam I have received I will only respond to emails with the subject line of "BEEP" if you have emailed please re-email me for a reply.In the first pic, where the 2 slopes meet at the bottom, is there a creek there? If so you might have problems tracking through it if it's wet. I also have a " Harley Davidson 2ne Edition Pinball Machine " listed on another craigslist ad, I may trade one or both for? If you know what this is you know how reasonable it is priced for the condition of the machine. I am only parting with this because I am wanting to purchase a classic car/pickup. Very unique and a lot of fun This is being sold with the original mower deck and manual. The mower will also fit the Struck Mini Dozers It articulates in the middle and has a front and rear transmission so it can be driven in front wheel drive, rear wheel drive or use both transmissions and have 4 wheel drive. Struck is best known for their miniature bulldozers but this is much more collectable and unique. There were fewer than 200 of these produced and very few left in existence especially in this condition. These were produced by the Struck Dozer Corporation back in the late 1960's and we advertized as a Lawn Maintenance and Recreational Tractor. "I am offering my Struck mini beep for sale.
