Bear in mind, I'm just transitioning from operating an excavator (as I've always been an excavator operator) to using a skid steer.
One thing that struck me as odd is this: some skid steer lift arms are designed like an accordian to allow the bucket to reach very high. In cases where it has to load a dump truck. But others' lift arms are designed to look like any trpical front end loader.
To illustrate, let's take for example... this:
The CASE Minotaur DL550. See how when it raises it's bucket, the design of the lift arms function similarly to an accordian or a mobile scissor lift machine?
Then there's...
The CASE TR 340B. See how it's lift arms resemble a typical front end loader? What's the rhyme or reason behind these different skid steer lift arm designs?
And I apologize if they are track loaders, but it was the best I could do on such short notice. And they mostly bear the main base body of a skid steer loader, so I assume it's ok to post this machine under Skid Steers.
