This years new toy

JD 444 with a 11' angle blade. I think I am going to miss the Cat 908 with 10" blade. that was fun. Maybe after I use this for a year or 2 it will grow on me.

Notice no trip springs. I have to watch out for things and ware the seat belt on this one.

I have a very similar setup

Those chains just have to be dangerous..
On snowy asphalt/ice i bet it behaves like a sledge..

Dwan Hall, nice loader! Why not a 544 instead? You should keep us up to date on photos w/ that beauty.

Ive got a problem with an older trojan loader. anyone know why i would have good power in all the reverse gears but no power in the forward gears? someone said there are adjustments and even one on the converter?? When should the rans fluid be checked? running warm? engine off warm? running cold? engine off cold?

What year and model Trojan? You can adjust the pressures to the tranny, I can't remember how but when I blew the tranny on my 1500Z that was part of the problem. That had a Funk Transmission.. Check the fluids when its running for 10 minutes or so. Any other questions you can PM me if you want.

Loved the video commentary qball.

Loaders is all we use to plow snow. 4 loaders, one does all the industrial and sports a 16' blade that is chained to the bucket.

We use a Cat 938F II, Cat 950 81j, Cat 950E, Cat 950G, Cat 966C, Cat 980G, 2 John Deere 624Hs (one with a 6 way blade) , and a John Deere 624G. They all work well in the snow. The 950G doesn't seem to like the snow as well as the rest for some reason. Also we run a Cat 140G, and a Cat 143H, both with wings and V-plows. Then theres the Cat 420D. And lastly 4 Gehl 5635s, a Cat 247B, and a Cat 279C. We take care of a lot of parking lots for retail stores and a lot of private driveways. We also run townships. When the snow gets really deep out on the township roads we break out the dozers, a Cat D6R XL, Cat D6H XL, 2 John Deere 700Js, a John Deere 700H, a Cat D5G, and a John Deere 850C. The snow was deep enough this past season that we had almost all of the dozers out on township roads at least 3 times
