@bigmeh, Thanks, I didn’t catch the reference to the box [pkg] size, but was thinking if the ratio is 1:14 & the width is 10.4" then that would mean that the actual width of the Bulldozer is approx 12.133’, or a smidge over 12 ft wide which sounds unrealistic!! A train ain’t that freakin wide, or me math is off at least 7’, or so!! This means the box [package] is about twice the size of the frkn Bulldozer!!
@1DisabledWarVet@bigmeh well it’s a loader not a dozer. Also train tracks are 4’8.5" wide making the typical train car around 10.5’ wide. This LOADER could easily surpass those dimensions in real life.
@bigmeh Here it is in the box:
It is 21" long, as posed. I’m giving it to my nephew (who operates such equipment) for Christmas; I’m quite satisfied by its apparent quality.
@Dynamik, well, yes & no! You can load fresh manure, snow, or dirt; it doesn’t matter since the loader, scoop, or whatever has no AI to ID the load. You could load a dead rat & the bulldozer could care less, or couldn’t care less!! BTW, I meant to say ‘fresh fertilizer’, but it’s about the same same!!
@1DisabledWarVet@Dynamik Fresh manure - that would be dog poop in the yard. Sort of like a robo vac in the yard except you trick a kid into operating it for that purpose? Right? (grin)
@1DisabledWarVet@Dynamik@Kidsandliz@rpstrong Also, rather than use a catbox, dump a few bags of cat litter all over the floor in your least favorite room, let the cat enjoy it, and then you can use this heavy equipment to clean up the toxic waste.
Has “wheels" instead of tracks to accomplish a great deal of work in a short time
Ah yes I remember this strange assertion from the last time this was on here.
Why is “wheels” in quotes? Why do “wheels” allow one to accomplish a great deal of work in a short time, while tracks don’t? What kind of “work” are we doing with a toy front loader?
@awk I wanted to ask the same thing. I also wanted to come up with some “clever” joke about it as well… but it turns out I’m too tired to bother right now.
@awk, I was wondering about that myself & was wondering why have chains; who cares if it happens to slip, or lose traction! But if it’s fully functional it may even use diesel,… so do I haveta have a driver’s license¿?
Bought it the first go round, but thanks for keeping it the same price. I get frustrated when something shows back up a few weeks later and it’s price has dropped.
Nothing in the specs about the cab being air-conditioned, so I’ll have to pass. (Don’t want the animal cruelty people complaining about my working my squirrels in the Texas heat without air.)
“You can Run Up To 20 Vehicles Without [Freaking] Interference”? What in the hell does that mean¿? And what are the walk around safety rails for? I mean, is OSHA gonna make unannounced inspections, where ya have ta wear a frkn hardhat or what¿?
[BTW, I did assume the spec boys meant 20 hour, but I just like to rub their noses in it!]
@1DisabledWarVet it means that you can run up to 20 vehicles without the radios interfering with each other, unlike old school RC toys where you had to make sure you bought different channels if you got more than one.
@djslack, okay, Thanks for the heads-up,…my bad, but it’s been a long, long, time since I played with toys,…alright, okie dokie, okay, ya got me! I just bought 1 of them Cosmic Halo [wireless drones] My cats like it!!
Here’s my pedantic comment since “wheels” has been addressed:
22CH 2.4GHZ Radio System with multi-function controls will put every part of the construction vehicle under your command
In the RC world, each button, knob, switch, or axis of movement for a stick is generally a channel. Now you can do mixing where one thing controls multiple channels, but generally speaking it’s about one channel per doodad on the controller.
My 16 channel aircraft controller looks like the control panel in an airliner compared to this. There are multiple switches and knobs on every accessible panel of the case.
I call BS on 22 channels. There are maybe 10, if everything that’s not a trim button or the power switch is a channel control. And it’s realistically more like 8 because bucket up and bucket down/arms up and arms down are two directions of the same channel. So don’t go getting into any number of channel contests with this thing.
@djslack I wonder if the ‘22CH’ relates to how many dozers can be run at once. There’s certainly not 22 functions on the controller - in fact, a handful of the doodads are dummies.
@djslack@rpstrong wouldn’t this be a digital code sent over a certain frequency, rather than using a different frequency for each possible function?
I’m not at all up-to-date on RC control technology, but it seems if you are reserving one frequency for
turn left and one for turn right, etc, for 20 functions, it gets much sillier. And having that many separately tuned transmitter and receiver circuits? OK maybe I just don’t get it.
wouldn’t this be a digital code sent over a certain frequency, rather than using a different frequency for each possible function?
Yes. That’s exactly what they are. And even before modern radios, they were some sort of signal (analog or digital) multiplexed into one transmission. They may be called channels from way way back when they may have been individual radio frequencies, or just channels of control, I’m not sure. But you generally get a certain number, usually not too many more than you need. No sense putting in 22 channel capable equipment for something that needs six or maybe eight.
Also, imagine how quickly you could dig up a sandbox if you had 22 of these loaders and enough corresponding and coordinated thumbs.
I didn’t realize each function had a channel
I was thinking that was how you could run 20 vehicles at once without interference
For me the biggest question is how much weight can it pick up
Long ago I drove a medium sized loader like this with a snow bucket that we also used in the summer and if you filled the bucket with wet dirt or gravel the back wheels got unweighted and you could tip onto the bucket when you hit a bump causing premature ejaculation of your load
This was much more embarrassing than the other type because it was in public and normally made a big mess… hmmm just made me think of “She’s too hot for you”
@oldmantick there’s a video in the thread from the first offering that shows guys driving it around in a shop and scooping gravel and such. It is possible to simulate that situation.
@djslack@oldmantick Couldn’t get the second video – probably the one about premature ejaculation was banned. Though it’s a perfectly normal problem… not what she said.
I’m just here to say that I bought this last time and my son loves it. The quality is really good. Run time seems to be even longer than claimed. No regrets.
This is actually something I’ve almost hit buy on every time I see it. I think it’s awesome. But then I realize after the first week or so I will have a 20 inch front end loader I have to put somewhere and then a year from now I will have this 20 inch front end loader that’s in the way somewhere. But I still think it’s awesome. I just know I wouldn’t use it all that much.

Bucking awe some!
/giphy buck it
Not a bad price for a remote snow shovel. Too bad it doesn’t snow here.
Nowhere are we actually told the size of the Buckster itself, just the size of the box. A little like an IRK – a big box but perhaps not much inside.
@bigmeh, Thanks, I didn’t catch the reference to the box [pkg] size, but was thinking if the ratio is 1:14 & the width is 10.4" then that would mean that the actual width of the Bulldozer is approx 12.133’, or a smidge over 12 ft wide which sounds unrealistic!!

dozer
!!

@rpstrong Thank you, that is very helpful. Much more helpful than meh’s own pictures!
Laegendary??
Does that mean it’s like Rudolph and will go down in History?? 
I mean, realistically could this be modded a bit and used as a tiny plow for a bit of snow? Say an inch or less?
@Dynamik, well, yes & no! You can load fresh manure, snow, or dirt; it doesn’t matter since the loader, scoop, or whatever has no AI to ID the load. You could load a dead rat & the bulldozer could care less, or couldn’t care less!! BTW, I meant to say ‘fresh fertilizer’, but it’s about the same same!!

@1DisabledWarVet @Dynamik @Kidsandliz Diabolical!

Ahh this again. Would some place not just bye them all therefore we don’t have to endure such strain on the eyes another go round.
@whomeyesu eye don’t see how it would help to bye this. It’s still gonna bee on the main page, soul’d out or naught.
@pmarin @whomeyesu eye think ewe mint two say ‘mane’, knot ‘main’.
Ah yes I remember this strange assertion from the last time this was on here.

@awk they’re “round” I guess…
FTFY

Bought it the first go round, but thanks for keeping it the same price. I get frustrated when something shows back up a few weeks later and it’s price has dropped.
@bransonboyds It’s $20 MORE on SideDeal!!
@bransonboyds @IndifferentDude
I paid $129.99 on SideDeal on Nov. 8.
Edit: I’ve been screwed by the company once again. Meh. . .
@bransonboyds @IndifferentDude @robthedude05 or you can say you got to “rent to own” first for $30 and then paid the balance of $99.
Nothing in the specs about the cab being air-conditioned, so I’ll have to pass. (Don’t want the animal cruelty people complaining about my working my squirrels in the Texas heat without air.)
@phendrick, but, but, but it does say it’s ‘Fully Functional’!!
What a load…
Intend to drive it along when walking your pup?
(Hope it cleans up with a hose…)
I should probably get this for yard maintenance.

@1DisabledWarVet it means that you can run up to 20 vehicles without the radios interfering with each other, unlike old school RC toys where you had to make sure you bought different channels if you got more than one.
Hard hats are recommended, just in case.
@1DisabledWarVet @djslack Don’t forget the steel toed shows in case it runs into you.
@blaineg @djslack, I have 2 pair, but I call’em Shoes!!
I ain’t the wurd police, but I do like my sarcasm!!

Here are some videos I watched before:

@djslack @oldmantick Nice videos, thanks.
They seem generally impressed with it at the $300 price, I’m glad I snagged one for $100.
When I read this I hear it differently.
/showme legendary huckster
I would have been thrilled to get this as a kid but now I have a 4WD tractor with a loader that I use to do actual chores, so the magic is diminished.
Still waiting under the tree since the first sale.
I’m just here to say that I bought this last time and my son loves it. The quality is really good. Run time seems to be even longer than claimed. No regrets.
@asherrios I bought one too. Fun and well built
/showme legendary huckster
It didn’t work the first time.
That’s pretty good, bot!
I mean no disrespect. It’s an odd name, though.
This is actually something I’ve almost hit buy on every time I see it. I think it’s awesome. But then I realize after the first week or so I will have a 20 inch front end loader I have to put somewhere and then a year from now I will have this 20 inch front end loader that’s in the way somewhere.

POPSOCKETS! SPROCKETS! DAVY CROCKETT! AWESOME!
Here’s a link to the Owner’s Manual.
Wheres the nose trimmer with finger light combo deals we know and love? My last nose trimmers are getting kinda rusty and my finger gloves are lost.
This deal has timed out as usual, but the first time it was up for sale it was active for a whole week. Was that a fluke? A record?
@blaineg a bonus opportunity, perhaps?
My money’s on typo/fluke, though.
