Why do these demo videos, which most would presume are aimed for more experienced operators, treat us like children with all the safety bullshit? "3 points of contact to get into the machine safely". You can spare us on the safety shit.
Today I will be using a backhoe of this same brand though not the same model. Regardless, this information you’ve provided has given me the reminders I needed cause my coworker barely made me use the backhoe, so I forgot most of it(and I was actually learning on an old rusty ass janky CAT backhoe), but my boss wants me to clear some stuff on private property, so that means I will get the practice I’ve been both wanting and needing. So thank you for this. Really appreciate it:
Start further back. Cut between one and 4 o’clock on the wheel. Once you are cutting below 4 o’clock too much of the wheel comes in contact, dropping RPMs and bogging the machine down. Take the time to re-position. Net time will be much lower overall with multiple approaches rather than Regurgitating your grindings back into the cut. It’s also easier to maintain depth because you aren’t riding up on your pile. Not as important with a large wheel like this, but critical with 50 hp machines and below.
I purchased a 2023 1CXT backhoe loader and I want to thank you for producing this machine care video. The information you provide and your presentation during the walk around of the equipment is excellent for a first time owner.
I have used and tested this machine thouroughly in the real world. The tracks create immense mess everywhere it moves. The front loader and backhoe are extremellllly weak with horibble torque. The hydrolic system gets damaged very quickly with any real use. The machine is extremely herky jerky be prepared to loose teeth on the front glass it is way to close to your face for the lack of smoothness. It struggles to mix two commands at once and a mix of 3 is non existent. The machine stalls whenever any actual torque is needed. Its also way to heavy for how weak it is. Its the complete opposite of its kabota counterpart which is an A+ machine. Kabota unfortunately has no track option with all these functions at this size. So the jcb was mandatory. I have no idea how this machine was let out into the public with all these issues. If you are using it for your backyard or light use i guess its fine. But if you are using it daily in a construction enviornment and putting it to the test it will fail you everytime. I want to love it i am forced to use it but i have yet to meet a single operator who does not hate this machine. Oh its turn radius is amazing ill give it that, but arent all track machines. Watch your teeth on that front window. Lastly i guess its better than a shovel but the hastle of transporting it and its constant breakdowns you will probably end up hand digging most of the time. Pleasssssssse make a machine worthy of a real world use snd not a farm tool.
He literally said it in the video. It’s equipped with a Skid-Steer Quick Attach and can take any Skid-Steer attachment. Buckets, Forks, Bail Spike, hydraulic hammers, mulchers, rakes…etc. Pretty much everything. You just have to make sure it’s the Quick-Attach, it’s rated for the attachment and you have the necessary hydraulics for it. I would assume it has at least 2 auxiliary hydraulic lines.
@@misterbulger the warranty is just decent, I'm almost out of warranty. Issues include leaks at the kingpost, leaks in the underbelly,wiring mishaps, control joystick fails to activate so machine will only run with override engaged. Leaks at the extender arm. I mean it has been un used for long periods while it's at the shop. And it's only at 200 hrs
I agree! However every machine I've had with automatic eventually breaks. Great if I'm renting but if I'm owning... 🤔 I'll probably spring for reliability and cheaper
Hello boss, looking to connect with other owners I own a 1.5yr old cxt in California. It is full of issues could we connect to see if other machines are experiencing similar problems?
@@jlmploslets talk...read my comment first at the top of this thread. Just buy a kabota b23 or better its an absolute beasssssst with none of the issues here. I am forced by company to use this machine and we have gone through 6 in 2 years. Kabotas would last 5 to 7 years without issue. Get away from this thing. Unfortunately i cant, we end up hand digging rather than deal with these they just sit in yard.
@robertgorski9048 mine is now sitting at the dealer for the past 2 months. This is the 7-8 breakdown in less than 1.5yrs couple of times including this time the unit has been sitting there for over a month (going on 2 months now) how is one supposed to make money with a unit that cannot be used to produce
Thanks for this video! Forklift training is indeed a necessary skill for the company forklift driver. Learn more about forklifts here: www.forkforce.com.au/
