EC Indiana | We have a Garfield 8.5 with Dolly wheels. We use it all the time. Really like it, very heavy construction. Never really have a problem getting it to cut unless in really tough tight clay. We have pulled it with 150hp fwa up to 250hp fwa. Works well with both tractors, the larger one can load it at faster mph. I even used a couple times with a 50hp fwa. Weight of the tractor is the limiting factor on how agressive you cut or load. After having one, if I were to get another one, I would look into a little larger one without dolly wheels I think. When I was looking, I could never find an 7-10yd used. I ended up buying new. I would only consider ejection type.
Advantages of dolly wheels: easily pulled with whatever tractor is available, can be moved/transported with a pickup, no tongue weight.
Disadvantages: Sometimes they get in the way, zero weight transfer to the tractor, sometims pan bounces or hops, challenging to back up.
I probably would consider selling mine if I could find a larger replacement. | |
