Dad had one of these and another Td9 with hydraulic overhead, the cable one was fun to operate, you pulled the winch operating lever to engage winch till it got to top then quickly pushed to other side to engage winch brake, if too slow it would throw cables off the rollers.

ReplyDeleteA bit different, but the concept is the same- no need to make a 180 turn to empty the bucket into the truck bed.

ReplyDeleteI bet they WERE fun! I suspect that unless it was a 40 hour job every week for years, most bulldozer and excavator jobs are a lot of fun
