britainswomble Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Never seen nuffink like them before. Who are they made by and what sort of horsepower would they be. They always look deceptively large unless they are parked next to something familiar. The loaders look like fairly standard tractor loaders, as in not that heavy a construction. A few months ago there was an article in one of the tractor mags on a Zetor crawler. It looked quite chunky on its own, a bit smaller with the driver sat on it, and stood next to a modern mid range Massey, it looked more the size of a Ransomes MG2 crawler. Interesting.......

pudding Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 the orange one is a fiat 455ci? the green is a agrifull........fiat clone the loaders, dunno what the fiat one is, the agrifull one i think is a SIGMA 4 loader i imagine it would be a work out pulling clutches, hitting brakes, changing gears and pulling levers ha ha!.....but hey, beats the hell out of a shovel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pudding Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 the blades and loaders on these ole ducks interest me nick , cause ya find way back when, these things were imported new to NZ and aussie they were brought in 'bare' as ag tractors to get round import duties and 'equiped' in NZ as aussie with domestic supplied equipment, hench tracweld was formed, etc..... i wonder if this is why we also got BTD-6's were similar to the very first TD-6 built, but later the US versions got heavier axles etc, and a diff engine i think (starting a BTD-6 was like trying to get a englishman out of a pub) i have a friend in paeroa who has a TD9 to sell its a 48 models, 4pot, with a Bycrus aries blade, common to domestic market america at the time.... we also had a 977L........when i worked in america, it was converted from pony start........these machines have been stuck thousands of times, ha ha!.......street tracks really do suck........ha ha!.......but were fantastic for pushing trees, burning rubbish etc i will have a look for the 5000 on trademe, the loader on the italian crawler thing looks like a very italian concept, but there are a few SAME krypton emerging in nz with sigma blades and i think a Loader, good luck to find where they were sold too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
