I take and collect alot of pictures of old or unusual equipment. A friend sent these from Germany of a Scrapedozer made by Menck.

Here is a Side view they hold about 9 to 12 yards, they are now produced by Nissha. Thomas K. at www.polytrac.de emailed me these great pics. He hasa well organized information and picture site in English and German. I have a brochure scanned i need to resize and post. The operator sits sideways in the cab and it has a straight knockdown blade and a ripper. THey use them in the rivers also to dredge gravel. Take caare Taylor Lambert

Fine machine

These are fine machines. I have seen them used for moving top soil and stack it up where you want. it takes more than a wheel loader and you don´t have to do a very long push with a dozer. I wonder why there are so few of then running. They are more common in Germany than here in Denmark.:beatsme

In that video it looke kinda wild with the entire body raised up like that. Does the entire body move when you're cutting or is that a seperate control for that?

Id like it here for our landfill. In the winter we really have to watch our cover dirt because we move so many feet forwardper day in thin lifts. Our little 762 's dont do good in wet weather. It would be awful nice to not have to plan out somany near bank dumpsites and preplanned stock piles when 2 or 3 loads from one of these machines a day could do it. Ive even talked to an importer about a Nissha Frutiger. I got a VHS here once but it wouldnt play. I saw on hauling off a bamk onto a little Komatsu 150 shovel. It was filling the bowl and then letting the blade down and pushing a good bit. It then would get to the edge pushing and then dump the bowl. Germany's Menk originally manufatured them and built one in during WW2. The closest theing Ive seen in the US to one is an M9ACE combat engineer machine.
