2 Mini Loaders 4 Sale

[lumberjack]

The Thomas 25G is ~39" wide, although it can be made narrower with different tires/wheels.

 

[SouthSoundTree]

Thanks Carl. I thought that I read that somewhere (39"). How much do the narrower tires affect performance?

 

[lumberjack]

I've never done them, they aren't a mfg option. Performance wise the machine would be more tippy, the ground bearing pressure would increase, more damage to the grass, and more likely to spin a tire. In the 4 years and hundreds of jobs I've done with the Thomas, its width has never caused me to hand drag.

Finding the correct wheels/tires might be troublesome, but it's doable. I've never looked for them, but worse case you'd weld centers into some shells.

Or have a machine shop, competent friend, re-drill existing wheels to the right bolt pattern.

Every man needs a mini in his Garage

--and a chicken in every pot no doubt ----

 

[CurSedVoyce]

I thought that was a chicky in every port Al...

 

[Al Smith]

Well perhaps but that is an exageration too .Now maybe any port in a storm might be truer to fact without going into details .

I wish good old TN would find a cheap skidloader when I have some money . This isn't one of those times though . I'd much prefer a skidder on my lot than a mini loader in my garage .
