That is kind of odd to see. When I was in the excavating business, I would do waterways and other dozing jobs with my Case 1450 Dozer with a 6 way blade and laser. Then I would do finish grade with an ASV tracked skid steed with a 6 way blade and a laser. This was back in the early nighty's I started doing this, and I had to build the blade for the ASV. I see someone has finally caught up. LOL
 
If Case went back and offered the old Case 1840s as built in the early 90s at a reasonable price they would be the skid steer kings again. Know one is building a skid steer suitable for a farm operation anymore. They all focus on track machines in the 80HP range and sell for 50 plus grand.

Tom, with them being out of the small crawler market this does look like a nice fit to fill the gap. Would be fun to give it a spin. Rod.
 
Hey Tom: How much for that machine? I'd be leery of it, my thought is that they might be asking too much of a machine originally designed to only lift & scrape crap off concrete. Same as they did to the David Browns, took a great small tractor, and then started asking more of them than they were originally designed for.

Click on the link, at least the Construction side of CASE isn't ashamed of their heritage like the Ag side is. Free calender to the 1st customer who identifies the car in the 1st 10 minutes. Go!!

Proto-type John only one there is right now,, as for design it seems to be almost a new frame much stronger and designed for this setup
 
There are attachment blades that will run of the Trimble system for skid steers. We borrowed a Cat setup 2 years ago to level the floor in a 68'x80' shed. It worked good. This looks like it could be very similar.
 
I'm kind of at a loss why you would say nobody makes a skid for farm use anymore. Must be different farms out here because I see lots of newer skid steers running around on farms in the neighborhood. We have two of them a 3,300 and 1,800 pounder. Basically a small frame and large frame. They have no tracks and fit in just fine cleaning barns, moving grain, moving bales, moving chemical shuttles, and general dirt and pipeline work encountered on a farm. Part of the reason for needing 80 hp is the hydraulics. A lot of these skidders have better hydraulics then tractors especially if you get the high flow option. We used our big one to drill 3ft diameter holes deep as we could go for the columns on our machine shed. One check on the Bobcat website shows they make skidders small as 24 hp and 3ft wide. We used to have a Case skidder. It was older then the 1840 and we got it to clean our outside pig lots. Worked good but it wouldn't be able to do half the things we do with our current machines today.
 

Where was this last week before I drug home a "new" dozer. I'm thinking the little case wouldn't be much use for pushing trees though.

John,are you talking about that old car pic down at the bottom of the page with the guy sitting on the fender?
It looks to be a 1949 could also be a 1948 Hudson Commodore.
