Assessing the CASE Minotaur DL550 Compact Dozer Loader

go all right so there is the case minor d550 I was just telling these guys cuz you're looking at buying one right Ron I was thinking about it and what is the cab like it's very tight knees are almost pushed together so yeah not interesting so and then what I was telling you and I I'll tell you the story that I heard I was telling both of you guys about this and I can't verify this is true or not but I know what I was told by one of the largest dealers in the nation that deals with these things he says they kind of miss the ball a little bit on these things because when you put the steel tracks on them and then you go into the high speed you're not turning it's doesn't it's not doesn't have the power to turn under its own weight which means to me it doesn't have the power to get out of its own weight no I can't verify that or not cuz I haven't done that personally I'm just telling you what I said but what were you say around well in the 14in you're going to have a lot of ground pressure that's not going to work in a lot of situations real muddy sloppy you're going to have too much ground pressure one of the things that he said to look for he says look online for used models and if you see a a number of used models with 50 to 100 hours on it there's a reason why those machines are getting sold so fast because people buy them with their expectations here but what they're experiencing may not be quite the same again I'm not saying I can say that from experience but I can tell you what I heard from a super trusted reliable source that I'm going to go buy a case 321 F it's not it's not it's not just you know this machine it's not in the case name it's just this machine right like because I've had plenty of case and I love my case I mean I've had great Case Equipment in the past well this guy told me it would push what a uh 450 case does which is a possibility but the problem is it doesn't have the 3 to1 gear reduction it might have the weight and maybe uh the stats to do it but I find it hard to believe it doesn't have to so that would go in line with what the with the guy that I was talking saying with about is not being able to get out of it own yeah okay all right that's all my experiences with the Minotaur I could be completely wrong you guys tell me what you think of them I want to hear any experience you guys have had good batter in between because this is a learning experience for all of us because we want we all want the best piece of equipment we can
