Results are in!

Crazy thing is not that Case won, but that more than two-thirds of respondents prefer Case 2.5-yd loaders.

I love John deere, i love their brand name and image. And i am fond of its line:"nothing runs like a deere, because nothing builds like one". Also, i love caterpillar, it has interesting naming story and it has its featured caterpillar yellow. Finally, i have to say Lonking, a chinese construction machinery manufacturer also bulids beautiful ones and it also has meaningful story about its brand.

Ha, of course Case loaders won. I missed this but would have voted Case. I would like to put some time in a Volvo as they look good.

I will start by saying after 40 years in this business I was alway a CAT guy first,but after replacing and rebuilding CAT transmissions and buying tires on newer overpowered CATs to compensate for overzealous employee loader "operators" that would rather spin tires than be operators.

Currently I like Hyundai machines for their longevity,stockpiling/truck loading cycle time and most of all I like the way they are powered and geared when breaking out and digging a gravel face. The Cummins engines and ZF trans have been trouble free,but just as important I'm only buying tires now if there is a major cut or tear in them.

I like the Deere loaders. Power, speed ease of use, cab comfort... Seems to have it all, in my opinion. I'll post some really need videos below this post, well worth a watch
