pfrederi 18,368 #1 Posted August 27, 2017 Neighbor is redoing his driveway. They dumped a Triax load 20+tons of 2A modified. Didn't run it, dropped in two piles. The D200 with FEL and york rake got a work out spreading the stuff up and down the driveway. (I got a good work out also. Steering a D200 with a full bucket is not easy). Also with the York rake on the back (also serves a counter weight) this thing is long and hard to maneuver.). Hydro temp never got above 180 and she dug holes in the driveway pushing into the piles. (with beet juice in each wheel and 50lbs weights on each in addition to the york rake. Got out the C120 with Midmount blade and it did a great job leveling off the stuff and was much easier to use. 11 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ericj 1,578 #2 Posted August 27, 2017 when I put my shed in last year I had I believe 10 tons of stone delivered, My good friend brought his C141 FEL down to help level out. He crawled into the pile with the C141 but when he lifted the bucket the tractor couldn't get any traction in the loose stones. So I asked him to step aside and I used my 75 C120 with a 42" plow on and dove into the piles of stones. I had them leveled out in a little bit of no time. he then went in and removed the excess stones off the pad. I then used a mid mount grader blade to finish leveling out the pad. worked grate. eric j 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did but but that D200 with the FEL is big and has a turning radius similar to the Queen Mary. The C120 was faster and easier. Need to pick up a GT14 with a 3 point for the york rake . 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I backed it into the garage one day and was nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs, had to keep looking forward and back to be sure I wasn't hitting anything. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
