Could they not get a set of Agri grip duals to go on the front?

I’m not sure to be Honest, it’s quite a big shovel so not sure on tyre sizes.

I wouldn’t think so. I drove L50’s loading corn years ago fantastic for loading but soon get hot pushing and climbing they used tractors for buckracking

There was some who used to use row crops for rolling clamp round here many moons ago

We used an L70c for a lot of years, was slow at climbing but would push anything.

Mucking out and loading the feeder wagon, was around 28000 hrs when it went away.

It was some machine, hardly gave any bother, if you needed volvo parts they were expensive but there was a couple of companies we used for parts that were ok. It had an alternator, oil pressure switch, thermostats, some new pins and bushes, new seat and not much else. It certainly wasn't a machine for just anyone jumping on, in the right hands and enough room it ran rings round the forklifts, wrong operator and it was a liability.

Sounds good as only me ! Got to be a better way than these teles at 90k plus .

I'd put money on it costing less to run as well, we had a tip off bucket on ours, was seriously quick to load trailers or feed wagon.

L90's are the benchmark larger silage shovel in these parts, more bombproof than the 435 JCB's. They aren't speedy on the pit but they can take a lot with them, slow reverse lets them down if it's coming in quick. Man I know well has one and it was able to keep an 800hp harvester cleared happily with a 14 foot buckrake, he has now moved to a 1000hp harvester and they need a tractor and buckrake helping. Loads a lot of dung with it too and it's a mighty weapon.
Those older Volvo shovels have a lifespan of 25000hrs before they need anything major usually.
Watch this, bit of a description about an L90 pro's and cons albeit a new one.

Why stop at an L90? L110's and L120'S are a sight to behold. Tri-axle trailer loads in two pushes.
