Dan, you can get the 4 wheel drive version of the Dingo with 4 pretty heavy
duty tires or you can get it with a set of rubber tracks, which I would prefer.
I personally might consider running the track version up a couple of steps
however I don't think I would try climbing a flight of 12 or 14 stairs with a
bucket loaded with cement blocks. I would hate to be behind an 800 or 1,000
LB. machine loaded with a couple hundred LBS. of blocks if it lost traction or
decided to get sideways on the stairs.
I think that if I had that much heavy material to move up a couple of flights
of outside stairs, I might try a heavy duty industrial 2 wheeled hand truck
with long handles and large inflatable tires. You could carie 2 or 3 blocks at
a time and you could cary sand or sement in 5 Gal. Buckets.
Good Luck:
Paul Franklin

Paul and Cliff,
Do you know if a Dingo loader can climb a flight of steps? I know they
can operate on a farily steep slope, but I am curious if they can actually
crawl a flight of steps. yeah, I know, wishful thinking, but it would
save my back, and hands, and arms, from hauling all those landscaping
blocks up the stairs.
