Dug it was indeed a smaller machine, They really didnt think it would have been successful but they got talked into it, Plus Insurance wouldnt cover the replacement of the arms and their mounts that had been damaged. They considered making a compactor similar to the one we did but for soil. Then the mecanic told them about converting it. For extra weight they added water and antifreeze to the tires to give it some good bite. A small wheel dozer well the smalledt Ive seen was one that Clark/Michigan made from their 85 series 2 yard rigid frame loaders it was a small beast. Ive seen a few of them here and there on the web as well as a few of its larger cousins. Tony Turby bought the biggest machine Ive ever been around at a sale. He mainly buys trucks but he came home with a a3 or 480 Michigan WD the blade was 33 feet wide Its hasnt been installed it was just on the yard in tractor form.
