Since your interested in the 953D, I was told by one of my friends that a quick-coupler is going to be a factory option. I think he said that his will be getting one, so he can switch a mp bucket with a demo grapple or something like that.

Very interesting.

Toolcarrier

Seem to be a find spot to promote Volvo.
We've got a lot of Volvo L50 C and D for the smal jobs by us.
Quickcoupler and the folowing tools:
- GP Bucket
- Snow bucket
- Snow blower. Øveråsen Mini spinn.
- Forks with both spreader and sideshift.
- Mine-drill
- Lifting boom
- Sandbag filler bucket

Its a nice loader that can be used for everything. Its even big enough to load a dump truck.(Not the most effective..)
The new F models will be even better than the old ones.
And ceep away from the C models, we've had som engineproblems.
We use it primarely to handle amunition with the forks.
Ours also has a demountable cabin, so it can be shiped in the C130 Hercules.

It runs and runs everyday for all the smal jobs.

F series

Hello again

No i dont have one yet, i have only tried one at a demo day with a Volvo instructor.
We have plans to buy som loaders, but it wont be untill next year.
Both the users(my batalion) and the logistic dep has to much to do with all the new equipment.
We are testing and evaluating this year to be able to by the right tings later.

Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.:bouncegri :lmao :woohoo

Seriously - I have a 420DIT and it works pretty well with the quick coupler on front, plus you get the backhoe on the other end. If that would be heavy enough for your application it may be an option.

Well said Mr. Cm. I am agree with your point of view.
