OK so need some advice since I have no experience with track loaders. Not real popular in this area, CAT dealer doesn't even have one around for us to sit in or try out. We have a particularly wet sewer job coming up. We currently use wheel loaders on all of our jobs and they do pretty good. On the wetter sites they can be a pain. On the wettest jobs in heavy clay they get almost unusable. This job and a few others we have in that area for next year look bad. My thought is to use the 973 to keep the stone boxes full for the excavator and to string pipe out. Will also use it to move mud mats around, backfill, grade out the site, etc. They are pricey but if it can get the material moved efficiently in the sloppy soils it will be worth it I think. I want to set the 973D up with a quick coupler, 5yd GP bucket and forks. How do you guys think this machine will work for this type of application? How fast do the track loaders go? Will it be too slow for material handling on site like I am talking about? Thank you.
CAT 973D? Right machine?
