Subject: RE: Who has replaced a forklift with a skid steer?



Cedar Rapids, Iowa
Just bought a Volvo MC115D (same as a JCB 270) this summer. I absolutely love the side entry door.

I haven't handled any proboxes with it, but I did move a large excavator bucket that weighs ~4000 lbs. Was more stable than I expected for that much weight. These machines are heavy on the rear axle. Without any attachment on, I think two guys could lift up on the quick tach and get the front axle off the ground. If you have a bucket on, tipped down, and walk away, the boom will settle down to the point where the front wheels come up off the ground on their own.

I don't know where hydraulic side-shift forks on a skid loader would be useful. Just turn the machine.
