I have a Vermeer S800, OK machine, but the dealer in Perth Western Australia are full of themselves and offer shit service/ warranty, so I'm looking at other options, Kubota looks good but has an electronic dash which doesn't enthuse me, , I will likely go Bobcat. Thanks for the review. Also, when you're back blading/ levelling, use the cutting edge which is hard and replaceable. The back of the bucket will wear out doing that.
We got about the same hrs on our first set of tracks the original bobcat ones suck we got camoplast i believe they were and they are way better. Great machine super simple and no electronic crap to break. We are about 350hrs now and no issues with it
1200 hours on our MT85. Kept waiting for something bad to happen but rolled the dice and came up lucky. Just added the 100 to the fleet and am looking forward to not having to grease the rollers - what a pain. Hope Bobcat fired that designer. Love your channel.
I have yet to see any vieos of this machine driving on hills and am very curious to see that and hear about your experience on hills especially wet grass/ ground. Also curious to know how it does on snow plowing in tight spaces, etc.
Great review, been in business 30 years own full size track machines. Only needed to rent a mini skid once in 30 years of business . To fill under a deck.
@@EliteLawnCareLandscaping I ordered at the end of March, was told July... Now early Q4. I've heard of guys getting them sooner, must be a dealer relation thing?
@@EliteLawnCareLandscaping thanks! Yeah I might get forks or a rigging system for my excavator. Once you get into the 1550 almost worth getting a full size any way.
Good video. Love my MT100! I also have a hydra bucket, and while i like the soil conditioner, the bucket itself isnt very usable because the drum teeth dig in.. do you find this to be an issue as well?
Yes we do - you have to have the bucket raised a bit then tilt it down to the ground so the drum isn’t rubbing. Kind of annoying but still way better than having to unhook a designated soil conditioner to switch out to a bucket, and vice versa
@@EliteLawnCareLandscaping I didn’t have a good solution for that. I just moved it forward so it rested on the metal that separates the park brake from being engaged or not. Not sure if that makes sense but 🤷🏻♂️
They really don't last long my machine at 295 spit a lug out of the track internally had a ton of meat on track but that's it would of failed shortly after.
Thats funny. Telling your guy to just run it through the paces while you go do some paperwork. Couple minutes later machine's in the office...your guy says "you never showed me how to stop it. Sorry boss, my bad. Where do want the key?"
