Case salesman seemed to know his equipment the best out of the guys you talked with. Kudos to him and Case…drives me crazy to talk to a salesman only to find out you know more about the equipment than the person who’s job it is to know.

@chrisnelson3691 2 года назад

I hate the new Case skid loaders, there is so much lag in the controls compared to a Cat, no snap at all, operated 2 different ones in the last 6 years and neither one was very impressive, had the SV280 anniversary edition in red and grey and a track machine same size, they are reliable and the quality seems to be there but the controls just suck, now if you want to talk about great machines worth every penny and more, the Ditch Witch SK800 is such a great machine, love it, damn near don’t even need a skid loader if you are doing smaller jobs.

@RockhillfarmYT 2 года назад

I was impressed with what ditch which had at these shows. I ended up buying a John Deere 325G and I’ve been happy with it so far

@rogerbing5314 Год назад

I would stay away from the cases skidsteers. I work at a dealership and it's all we see is bad wiring harnesses just one after another. In my opinion Takeuchi makes the best skidsteers and since Hitachi started making their mini excavators anything from a Cx80 and down are a big disappointment.

@PineyGroveHomestead 2 года назад

If you are anything like me, a purchase is coming real soon. When I finally decided in my head that I wanted, and could afford an excavator, the search was on and I had one within a couple months. As a side note, my forestry mulching guy charged $200 per hour and he said he was barely making a profit at that rate between breakdowns and transport times between small jobs.

CAT skid steers have a rebranded kubota engine, it’s cheaper to out source. That tells you something about kubota engines. However, I’m a CASE fan. Looks good, comfortable, smooth controls, and decent pricing.

@catwrldfl 5 месяцев назад

Not true at all… yes kubota makes the engine but the machine itself out performs kubota and all the other brands in every aspect due to how well it’s engineered … except for maybe the door lol

@derekdreke4990 Год назад

The biggest thing i believe if you are lucky enough to be buying a newer machine or brand new even is getting the machine which will work better for what you are trying to do !!!! They are all different for the most part so you can find what is best suited for your particular application to me having a teleboom would be the end all game changer. Unless your strictly doing a shit ton of actual digging would be huge but most guys i feel are trying to figure out how to have both a skid steer and a mini excavator

@mkc0005 2 года назад

I think it'll come down to the same as buying a new pickup - 1) does it have the options you want? 2) is comfortable to sit in all day? and those being equal - what's the price difference?

@noahschlueter9913 2 года назад

When you first tested out the 35g he said you had a sticker, do you need one to test drive machines at the expos. I’f so how do you get one

@RockhillfarmYT 2 года назад

It seems like that is at the discretion of the company. Basically anyone can just walk up and drive them though One company might have you sign a waiver and then give you A badge like that so they know you’ve already signed it. Another company might not have you do anything. There was one type of machine I wanted to drive that was taking appointments and I would’ve had to come back in two hours, But that was at GIE which was much busier than the utility expo Some of them want to give you a little speech first and some just send you out there as soon as you walk up Thanks for watching

Not to start a debate, but I personally just ran a brand new Takeuchi mini & and its controls were not as smooth as it should have been, considering it literally is brand new. But I would love to run a kubota mini will continue to have a positive opinion of them until proven other wise differently, but I really want to like them. 😅

@iainhetherington4608 Год назад

I don’t mean to make it complicated but you should try a machine with hand and foot controls, it will give you much more machine accuracy , foot controls for boom and bucket take a little while but once you get it they are way more productive. I’ve done both over 20 years the machine I chose to keep was a T595 Bobcat with hand and foot, new Holland or case they do it as well but I think it’s electric over hydraulic now, not sure kind of removes the feel a bit , Anyhow give it a try before your head gets obsessed with iso or h pattern Hope I haven’t made it harder Cheers from Aus
