Compact Tractor Backhoe

Well, loading per se, should be an "on the spot" activity

 

Often it is. We opened up our quarry for a new road 3 years ago and had a big Doosan working non stop filling a Moxy and a pair of 8t Benfords (or Barfords, or are they the same thing?). Another 360 at the other end spreading ready for the roller.

 

OTOH for a smaller job the other month a 3cx did both jobs handily, shuttling a mile or so by road between sires and moving pallets and dumpies into the bargain. Horses, courses.

i hae just shifted 100 1 tonne dumpers loads of chip using a 1.5 360 and my neuson skip lpader did it in 5 hours. with a 360 witha quick release you can change buckets so quick. you can get a rotating head for them and have a grab for picking stuff up. put a post bonker on them a concrete pick. the jobs you can do with them is endless wish i had the cash get a 2 tonne kubota have a longer dipper arm but same footprint as a 1.5. cracking machines.
