Jenny was the best, answered questions on several calls that other dealers could not. I live in KC and shopped auctions, dealers nationwide, Facebook market place. Got my best deal on my TL12V2 machine from Luby with extended warranty. Drove to Fenton and picked up machine. Machine was as described and ready to go as promised. Jenny’s friendliness and listening to my wants sold me! Her boss should give her a raise thanks again!

This was my first experience with Luby Equipment. Jenny Swafford was my sales person. She promptly made a deal with me working out the transportation and all the details. She kept me in the loop every step of the way and gave me many detailed pictures of the piece of equipment. I do many deals in my line of work and I can tell you she is among the best. I would do business again and hope I can. My experience with Lubys has been the best. I could not be happier. Good job Jenny I wish there were more like you doing business would be a much funner experience. Mike.

Features of a Track Loader

  1. Continuous Tracks: Unlike wheeled loaders, track loaders have tracks that evenly distribute the machine’s weight over a larger surface area. This design enhances stability and minimizes ground pressure, reducing the risk of sinking on soft or muddy terrain.
  2. Powerful Engine: Track loaders are powered by robust diesel engines that deliver high torque and horsepower, enabling them to handle heavy loads and challenging tasks easily.
  3. Hydraulic System: A sophisticated hydraulic system allows precise control of the loader’s attachments, including the bucket, forks, or other specialized tools. This system ensures smooth operation and efficient power distribution.
  4. Cab Design: Modern track loaders feature ergonomically designed cabs with advanced controls, climate control, and excellent visibility. The operator’s comfort and safety are prioritized to enhance productivity.
  5. Versatile Attachments: Track loaders can be equipped with various attachments such as buckets, grapples, and augers, making them highly adaptable to different tasks and projects.

Benefits of Using a Track Loader

  1. Superior Traction: The continuous tracks provide exceptional grip and traction on uneven, slippery, or loose surfaces. This makes track loaders suitable for working where wheeled loaders might struggle.
  2. Stability and Balance: The broad base of the tracks offers excellent stability, reducing the risk of tipping over, especially when handling heavy loads or working on slopes.
  3. Low Ground Pressure: The design of the tracks spreads the machine’s weight over a larger area, resulting in lower ground pressure. This minimizes damage to the ground surface, making track loaders ideal for sensitive environments like landscaping and agriculture.
  4. Versatility: Track loaders can switch between various attachments, performing multiple functions such as digging, lifting, grading, and loading, eliminating the need for multiple machines on a job site.
  5. Durability: Track loaders are built to withstand harsh conditions and heavy use. Their robust construction and powerful engines ensure long-term reliability and performance.

Applications of Track Loaders

In the construction industry, track loaders are commonly employed for site preparation, digging foundations, moving materials, and clearing debris. Their ability to operate in confined spaces and handle harsh conditions makes them indispensable on construction sites.

In landscaping, track loaders are used for grading, trenching, planting, and moving large amounts of soil or mulch. Their low ground pressure is particularly beneficial for preserving the integrity of landscaped areas, ensuring minimal disturbance to the terrain.

Farmers utilize track loaders for various agricultural tasks such as moving feed, cleaning barns, digging irrigation ditches, and handling hay bales. The machine’s versatility and stability make it a valuable asset in agricultural operations, providing efficiency and reliability.

Track loaders with specialized attachments are also highly effective in demolition tasks, including tearing down structures, breaking up concrete, and clearing rubble. Their robust design and powerful performance allow them to handle the demands of demolition work efficiently.

In forestry, track loaders are used for clearing land, moving logs, and building access roads. Their rugged construction and robust performance enable them to work effectively in challenging forest environments, making them essential equipment for forestry operations.
