"Our loaders are material movers. They’re designed to move loose dirt,

As near as I could tell, nothing wrong with it, buyer didn't like it,
bitched until GM bought it back, branded the title, and auctioned it off
with warranty. Chevy dealer in Wisconsin bought it from GM and listed it
for a 'no haggle' price, IIRC about $7k.

You can dig with a loader/bucket but it's not ideal and you can wrack the
loader with asymmetric forces. I'd consider a box blade for scraping top dirt
into piles and then use the loader to move the piles to the low spots. Finally

My advice is to find your local equipment rental yard, and rent a decent
sized tractor with a front bucket and a Gannon blade on the back. Here, a
day's rent will run about $250, or, if you rent on Friday and return at 7AM
Monday, they charge you for "One Day Rental" you pick up and return
This showed up in the similar list, at half the price

Nope, it does have a DPF though. All tractors over 30 go have to have one. JD
