Got to be pretty close in wt. to a 105. Is that legal in your state without a pusher axle?

Yes it's built in the Chicago area. It's called a Loop Belt. It's the first one they've built therefore the only one to date. The truck only weighs a little over 55,000 lbs. Pretty sweet!

How much does one of these loop belts run? I've seen a couple videos on youtube of it running. Seems like they work pretty good. Is the slew for the main proportional? What kind of hydraulic PTO system is used on it?

It works very well! Yes everything is fully proportional. Strong hydraulics and operates very smoothly. It has two hydraulic pumps on it one for boom and outrigger functions and one for the belts.

I also like the fact that it has a live feed conveyor versus the TB 105 which did not. I realize the TB 110's do. 

Built by an American owned company is icing on the cake! Here is a link to their website if you want to check them out. http://www.loopbeltind.com

I know it might be "fun" to play with these machines,but they are not toys.We know what can happen when things go bad.I treat my pump like a loaded 12 gauge,always loaded,always dangerous.Treat your machine as such,please..............

I think its great that loop belt makes belts too, but I'm just confused how they cannot get into trouble for having a design so similar to the Putzmeister Telebelts?

Isn't there some kind of copyright on the design of the belts? I know the outrigger / feeder are setup different, but the putzmeisters also have two PTO drive shafts. The way the manual valves behind the cab are setup as well are very similar also.

In these times it is very important to buy American. Or from companies friendly to America, not potential enemies.
