- Self employed bulldozing contractor with a D6D D4E
Hi Showpony, Ive done it in the same situation as RDG, pushing 101 Wabcos and a Michigan elevator scraper with my D4E. Only reason I was pushing was because of the greasy pug clay and the lack of traction with rubber tyres.
On another occasion had to use my old gear drive D4D to push a Terex TS8 to help get that last 1/3 of a load into its bowl; again in greasy clay; it could self load for 2/3 load but needed a shove for a full load. Was slow but if its all thats on the job u use what you got.
terex TS8 was built in scotland for the pommy army, so u won,t see them in the USA. 8yd struck 11 heaped, twin 100hp Bedford diesels. Concept was good, but design less so.
