Ok wanted to get a new thread going on a specific topic. We have decided to get two sizes of wheel loaders in this next purchase. We are convinced we need some smaller units for broom work as well as our smaller jobs, so much more efficient when you don't need the 966 power, which is a lot of the time to be honest. So we are having Cat quote 2 966K and 6 938K's. Volvo is quoting L90G's and 150H's and Komatsu is quoting WA470-7 and 320-7. I think price is gonna be a big deal here but Cat already has some strikes against them on the bigger loader for bad visibility and lack of steering wheel. I think Komatsu might be most price competitive. That being said in the 938, L90, 320-7 size class what are you guys liking best? How are the new hydro Cats holding up? L90 is a pretty proven machine am I right? I think these loaders will get a majority of the use since the bigger units will come into play on jobs with heavier stuff but most of our jobs a smaller machine will be faster and get stuck less in some of or muddy soils. I think the increased speed of a smaller machine will keep up on stone boxes. This seems to be what we have come to in our testing of various size machines.
