Terex

[log frog]

I lookked for a Terex thread and couldn't find one. If there is one, please re direct me.

Here is our 8230B, works every day, mostly as a yarder anchor, but also pushes dirt and pulls wood when needed.
Posted her over in the forestry section, but thought you guys may appreciate her over here.

In that first picture, it almost looks like a RC dozer.

Hey, that's not a bad idea. Maybe they should start an "ANCHOR" section (we call them yard tikis, here). JUST JOKING. I think Cat stole the idea of the single handle pull "friction release and brake combined" instead of the separate friction release and foot brake. It's my brother who was a mechanic that tainted my thinking with a Euc joke. He said, "You know why they paint Euc's green? So they can hide in the grass and watch the Cats work". Could be you're in the right place.

I want one of these so bad. Allways thought they were ahead of their time. Besides the fact that you can rebuild that musical diesel with the change in your pocket.

I was told CAT was short for "Can't Afford Terex". Great to see that machine still earning it keep.

I have an 8230 great old farm machine.The only problem is its setting in the pasture with a track off and I'm sitting in a lazy boy recovering from rotator cuff surgery. The idler support broke off ,on top,somebody had done a weld job that looked like a couple of 1/4 '' tack welds.Was making a pass clearing pasture when I saw something green roll out the left side before I could stop the track derailed.Took my 955H up to carry supplies and dig it out.you know that loader won't even shake the green monster!When I heal I'll get back up there with a couple of jacks and walk it back on.Just going to be a looong winter!

Same machine just towed a burnt out hauler to get it on the transporter.

Nice looking dozer! Most of the one's I've ever seen were old and in pretty sad shape.

Here's some lovely green iron Someday I hope I can own at least one of these things!

I heard once TEREX had some hardware whereby two of these could be hooked side-by-side. What would you call it, a Double Trouble, or Double Barrel???

I never ran one, but just the sight of that single blade lift cylinder combined with that Detroit sound (it wasn't Motown like a CAT) was enough to scare me off.

Nontheless, a TEREX dozer and three TEREX scrapers (talk about a POS) did build the second golf course in The Woodlands, TX circa 1976.

The flag on the ninth hole flies for pushcat (push terex???) operator John Golden. May he rest in peace.

Hey, great pics though, thanks. What a throwback in time.

Is this a miss print? Most of us our satisfied looking at them from a distance with our ears plugged. LoL

Here is a video of the side by side.

I love it. I have had the pleasure to run one. It was a rough ride but the machine did know when to stop. Would love to have one just to play on.

LOL, no, not a misprint Mike, somehow I'm drawn to old, noisy rare things...
