hello on the net I found this manufacturer of small loaders I think they only build rubberized ones and the flagship with telescopic arms like agricultural telehandler. I don't think they produce crawler excavators or crawler carriers. from what I've read it has a perkins engine, I'm not convinced by the geometry of the loader arms it's not like bobcat or jcb they seem more like agricultural front loader for tractor. what do you think of these machines for agricultural use in the countryside as a service machine, perhaps with forklift forks or a jib arm like a small crane to lift and move big bags thanks best regards.

Interesting looking skid steer. The bucket looks a fair ways away from the cab but I don't like the exposed lines under the door opening.
Looks like an older Thomas Skid but the telescoping arms look interesting.
I knew that in mini shovels there are two types of radial or vertical arm geometry with a parallelogram or pantograph design, I don't know what applications they are dedicated to since mini shovels are not only used for digging and moving earth and aggregates but also as tool carriers with forklift forks for loading and moving heavy loads, milling machines, mechanical brooms, concrete mixer buckets for mixing concrete and other applications. Do you have any observations to make? Thanks.

No telescoping arms. It's a design all its own and a little odd. Thomas claims to have made the first hydrostatic skid steer in 1969. Kind of dangerous but advanced at the same time. Most older skid steers weren't the safest machines. Originally designed for handling potatoes as Thomas was purchased by McCain foods. The two McCain brothers were fighting over who should take over and one of them thought Thomas didn't bring in enough revenue so sold it off. Production went to China for awhile. It is a shame as they made some good machines and won a bunch of design and export awards. A couple of former employee's are providing parts support and even rebuilding some machines. They also made smaller stand on machines that Ariens purchased the rights to a few years ago.
Looks like it better have some serious weight in the ass end for those telescoping arms because that looks like an easy tip over situation, with the fulcrum so far back.
the front wheels act as a pivot if the machine is not well balanced it is clear that it will tip over, from this I deduce that you need to orient yourself towards guaranteed used therefore bobcat both as a machine and as geometry of arms as center of gravity and as trim. am I right? what is the best bucket arm geometry currently? in wheel loaders Z system or torque parallel in mini? thanks regards Skid Steer Lift Arm Supports Performing maintenance or repairs on your skid steer can be dangerous you don't use the skid steer lift arm supports. shop.finaldriveparts.com
Regardless of how the arms rise & fall, it's all down to the CG of the bucket. How far ahead of the machine with what load ?
It depends on what you want. Some machines have true vertical lift where the bucket stays the close to same distance from the front of the machine all the way up.
Thanks for the physical and mechanical clarification, the right compromise to have a balanced machine both in the tear penetration phase and in the loading or weight movement phase. With which machine do you think you can have, let's say, a 3-ton machine. Thanks
