What a brilliant bit of kit well done to Case for listening to the customers, I wonder if Case are looking at a quick change system from steel tracks to rubber tracks, would save people like DP's business a whole lot of time and therefore money, as you would definitely only need one piece of equipment to do many jobs. Getting Jerry to sit in it, might take a minor miracle, mind you he jumps into the 850 now, with no problem, especially when it's hot. 🤗

This is definitely an interesting machine, we don't use skid steers and dosers all that much here in Sweden, we mainly use wheel loaders and excavators for similar jobs to what you show on your channel, dosers are mainly used for big land clearing jobs and big road projects over here but I can see a whole lot of jobs a machine like the DL550 would be perfect for over here because of it's versatility, we like machines you can do more than one thing with which is why we use excavators and wheel loaders for pretty much everything, this machine would add the doser element plus a whole lot of service jobs where wheel loaders are too big or unstable and excavators would be put to better use elsewhere on the job site, I see a lot of time savings for us with this one. Looking forward to hearing your take on this machine, hopefully you'll give us some fuel numbers and your thoughts on working on the machine from the mechanics point of view as well, like you usually do and so well.

Ah finally the Minotaur video. I’ve gotta get on another one. I’ve spent about 6-8 hours on one. It was weird in its own way, but it works very well for what it is (compact dozer/skidsteer combo). This and a similar weight excavator would be perfect for a small excavating business. There’s still a need for a smaller skid steer due to the size of the case. But you can’t have everything although they did a very good job trying and engineering everything

Ok, i admit i thought it was a big skid steer when i first saw it. Having watched the video, it’s absolutely not a skid steer, and a cool machine. And I can see it being really useful for when you need both loading and advanced grading on a jobsite. At the same time I feel like we have a station wagon/minivan/compact SUV type naming situation going on. Its combination loader dozer so by definition that is a track loader… but it has some extra features most track loaders don’t , and lots of people don’t care for track loaders these days so lets call it something else that is catchy

I can’t actually see them or another company eventually making additional implements that can be attached in place of the ripper for added functionality. It would be really cool to be able to have access to an extra tool on that tractor.

I'd like to see some indexes that tell you where the blade or bucket is in reference to the track plane. Getting the correct bite at the start of a push or scoop would be useful. There are not many Jerry's in the world. A return to dig function is also good. My old, '78 case 450 crawler loader had a Return to dig function that I used all the time. It had a bucket angle index but not a bottom of bucket at track plane index. The annoying, "I just dug some dirt with that scoop of rock" was a pain.
