Hello,
I'm curious if anyone has used the Lamtrac LTR6140T 'CTL/Mulcher' hybrid or knows more about it.
http://www.lamtrac.com/6140t.html
On paper it looks like a beastly machine; 140HP Cummins, 44GPM, 6000PSI. Additionally the access to the engine appears to be great in the pictures, and having a hydraulically powered cab lift make appears to make it extremely easy to maintain...
The cab looks like it would keep the dust out unlike the issues I've heard with CAT/ASV and also has an actual full size chair with great visibility.
The total dimensions on paper don't appear to be too much bigger than a CAT.
Lamtrac also advertises its function as a traditional CTL as well: bucket use, dozer, etc. They don't however publish a ROC for it so that worries me as I would purchase it for the purpose of having a skid steer as well.
That's all good and fun on paper but I was wondering if anyone had experience/testimonial using/knowing of someone using it?
One problem that I see is that it is truly in a niche market. Without calling their sales dept. it looks like the MSRP is right around 185-200K. Many smaller forestry operators cannot afford such a costly machine, and those that can will likely just out-right purchase a completely dedicated machine, just going right over the constraints of a CTL package...
A couple of new and used sitting right over the $150K mark. https://www.machinerytrader.com/lis...equipment/manufacturer/lamtrac/model/ltr6140t
