The Ramrod 1150 TD is built by Leon's Manufacturing, and the company lays claim to 20-plus years of building mini skid-steer loaders. The 1150 TD is available with a gasoline engine (27 horsepower, liquid-cooled Kawasaki) or a diesel engine (27-hp, liquid-cooled Kubota). The diesel powered the machine on our Workday site.
The 1150 TD's undercarriage, which uses steel reinforcement in its rubber tracks, employs large drive sprockets and a six-wheel bogie assembly that spreads the machine's weight over the bottom of the track. The bogie frame also supports a large front idler and a two-wheel top idler that doubles as the track-tension adjuster. The sloped front of the tracks, says Ramrod, allows a better view to the bucket or work tool.

The 1150 TD is a recent addition to the Ramrod line (along with models 800 and 950), and compared with previous designs, says the company, features 35 percent more hydraulic performance from its two-pump system, stronger loader mechanism (40 percent more strength in the loader-arm pins and lift-cylinder cross tube), heavier ("gusseted") frame and larger oil cooler.
The Ramrod 1150 TD Taskmaster features a self-leveling loader mechanism that keeps the bucket level throughout the loader-arm arc. The bucket's rollback angle is 30 degrees, and its dump angle is 85 degrees. The 1150 TD, says the manufacturer, has 1,600 pounds of pushing or pulling capability.
The console is designed for "palm steering" with the right hand, and auxiliary-hydraulic-system controls allow directing either 6 or 12 gpm into the system, depending on the attachment. Steel tanks that flank the operator's station -- hydraulic oil (right) and fuel (left) -- swing out to allow engine access.
