Never ran a Volvo wheel loader. That is a big machine, lots of electronics.
As with anything Volvo, incredibly expensive parts!
Definitely quality equipment though.

Did you ever find a 6x6 truck ?

Nope, my only experience is Cat and Alice Chalmers. Would love to operate a Volvo though.

Nopper

The only experience here is a lifetime of using a True Temper #2 Hand Held Steam Shovel. Well, yes, there WAS that Case - so small it would, maybe, just fit in the tire treads of some Big 'ole wheel loader.

Hi there, no I did not get a ADT. I reconsidered and I think a big loader with a rock bucket would be more versatile. If my track hoe ever goes down I can still dig and move pay to the washplant. The 220E has a 6.25 yd bucket which should keep up to my new shaker.
