Happier Than a Kid on Christmas (New Baumalight Mini Skid Steer) 

Big thanks to Baumalight and Martatch for the demo units! Specs for the equipment can be found in the links in the video description.

You have just epitomised the saying - the difference between boys and men is the size of their toys. The size of your grin operating your new toy just proves it. Way to go fella!!!

Congratulations Sandy 🎉. They are a blast to operate. I've got one myself. With the right attachment , it better than a swiss arm knife. Baumalite couldn't have sponsored a better better guy to show off their product. Cheers 🥂

Woah....$ 48,000. I think the Chinese models are a more affordable option. I know, you get what you pay for and that's great when uou can justify the price.

Wow that smile you have on your face is like the one I had the first time I ever drove a 360 o turn lawn mower 😊😊😊

Hi Sandy!!😀😀 She is a sweet little buggy!! I'm sure you are going to find it so handy compared to your tractor. What's the list price for her??

Hi Sandy. Wow!!! Looks great for maneuvering heavy logs around in tight spaces. Looking forward to seeing it on the trails.

Fantastic new Equipment Nice to see that you're getting more items to use around the sawmill and make things much easier for your self ..

Yeehah! Look at you cruising down the lane, smiling, letting the wind blow through your hair! Fun day at Sandy's! 👍😁

I can see this as a great thing if you are towing your mill around to peoples properties to do cutting for others. Or just at your own place. Good addition to milling. Did you mention the price? If you did I missed it.

Honestly that looks better built than the main brands you see like bobcat, Vermeer, ditch witch…ect

Hi Sandy, Awesome little feller, Needs a name how about "Mighty Mouse" one of my favorite cartoons when I was a kid (around 64 years ago ) LOL John Toccoa

That is certainly a great piece of equipment. What other attachments did you get?

Sandy, appreciate your sharing. I'm really excited for you about the new mini-skidsteer. Stay safe, strong and wise in Jesus's Name. ☝🙏🙌💪👍

Good to see you happy Sandy.. Fun day :)

WELL, it looks like you got a new toy, hey? I've never operated one of these so it's hard to say if I like it, or not. The downside of skidsteers for me is the lack of visibility around and behind you. Standing on the unit solved that problem. The spring loaded platform you stand on... I'm guess the machine stops if you step off or are thrown off. That's a good safety feature. One thing, you had an exceptionally high center of mass when you lifted two logs high enough to put them on the stack. I would suggest moving very slowly under those conditions lest you roll it on its side. I'm guessing you can get the adapter/attach plates so you can adapt other equipment to it; i.e. your rotary mower, a blade, grapple... well, basically anything you could attach to a skidsteer. Take your time to learn the machine, and enjoy it!! Now, we need to get you into a good used, Kubota KX-040 excavator.... I'm guessing the crawlers are tensioned by springs, rather than a grease filled ram, like your mini-ex. Keep an eye on their tension. You don't want to roll the crawlers off their rollers and sprockets making tight turns at low speed.

I just saw the 12v outlet on the dash, so now you can get a heated coffee/sludge mug for the colder months.

I didn’t see a sludge holder on there lol

Baumalight makes excellent products. I love my Baumalight stuff.

Wow pretty cool buddy.must of hit the lottery hey.lol.wish I had one.I've never seen you smile so much.like a ride at the carnival.

MM77 Approved 👍🏼👍🏼………………………………………………………DANG!! Before long, you will have ALL the toys! LOL……………………………Yes sir, I should have known, made in Canada! You truly are the Canadian spokesperson for industrial/forestry products and that’s no joke.

Yeah not feeling the tipping so much as from the tractor is nice. But you'll still find with that much power when you'll pivot forward really fast so enjoy but be careful. Thanks for the great work.

Hi Sandy. Great video! I’ve been watching Jake at Dude Ranch DIY with his Baumalite and now you with yours. They appear to be a very versatile machine. The lift capacity is impressive. New toys… oops I meant tools, are always fun!

yes, I also seen that big smile on your face and I also believe you will be using that as your main machine for awhile. You enjoy. And great explanation again.

Great tutorial Sandy of the Baumalight mini skid steer. Definitely a very useful tool for various applications around the property . Congrats on the new machine. Cheers my friend 👌🏻🔥🇨🇦

I had that approximate same Hp motor in my Lake Superior boat. Mine was a 3 cylinder Volvo diesel. Super fuel efficient. No speed merchant but could get 7-10 miles per gallon @ 8 MPH. Most boats measure in Gallons per mile. Lol. Good luck with your new toy!

Congratulations Sandy, A top of the line unit, perfect starter to a Bobcat T650😂🪵🇺🇸

Never have I ever seen more of a smile… congrats on the new equipment addition!

Congratulations Sandy,that looks like a really neat piece of equipment. I am a little jealous,but happy for you at the same time. Hopefully since the reviews you do for equipment are so detailed and unbiased, you will get these companies to keep giving you these things to use and review. ( Just guessing,and love your content. )

Great Looking Addition Sandy.... I can see a ton of uses... Enjoy (ballpark cost) Pete 🇨🇦

I know you got a lot of saying about the little skid but what i like the most is that grin you were having the whole time it does look like fun and easier to see what your doing and not as scary for tipping it won't be long though you will have it on it's tippy toes and you standing up in the air lol have a great day have fun make it dance but play safe enjoy

My son in law considered Baumalite but went with Bobcat mt100 just for the difference in travel speed. His farm is spread out, and barn cleaning scraping 18,000 sq ft needs the speed. I haven't driven it yet

Send it back. NO sludge cup holder! Rubbish. ;) Nice bit o kit otherwise. Take care & stay safe M8.

Hello Sandy. That skid steer looks like the right size for your property. The only thing I would want is a waist/shoulder strap/harness that when connected to the machine would not impair my movement with the controls. Have good days!

Wow! Awesome new toy….. sorry, tool! That will be so much easier to move around in tight spaces vs the tractor. Very cool and impressive machine.

I knew Baumalight from their stump grinders, the mini skid is a new to me. I never knew they made them. You had a grin as big as Canada. You are definitely going to have a blast on that thing. Congrats. Good vid. Thanks.

Nice addition Sandy,

Nice looking machine sandy! Baumalight makes some great equipment

Good job sandy look very happy with your new toy. You’ll be able to get a lot of work done with that.

That looks like alot of fun operating.. your gunna have a hell of a time trying to out run the mosquitoes, black flies and the infamous horse flies..

That's a nice little skid steer. I'm curious if it will pick up a basket of firewood seems to have a lot of lifting capacity and I'm sure you will find a lot of uses for this new machine

Cool little skidsteer-like thing. Maybe I missed it, but what is its lift capacity rated at?

Cool tool Sandy. That will be great for working in tight spaces.

Nice Sandy, you have the best toys by far. I am sure this will make moving totes much easier.

The Baumalight will be nice to use loading the firewood deck or the log deck at the sawmill 👍👍

Nice machine. There will be no getting away from the flies on that thing. 3 mph is slower than walking.

I'm glad your name is out there enough that you're getting things you can use to better your life and channel! If it took a little work to contact people I'm sure but it's paying off now, Sandy!

Nice machine there Sandy just be very safe they tip easy I've seen it happen a few times. 👍👊

But your tractor does that no….. But I understand toys 😅

looks to me you got good usable lumber mixed with firewood there. be interesting to see if that thing can dig a decent hole for a dugout cabin near a fishing hole.

Nice unit but you'll def need some rain gear down the road. Haha.

can see the advantage and adventures only reservations are the standing especially on a long time project but see advantage in retrieving saw logs in the forest minimum damage to ground

Stop hogging it Sandy the rest of us kids want to try it. Seriously that is awsome some new adventures to come.

GreT machine. What kind of price?

I'm betting a grapple will be one of the first attachments you get.

Looks like a great investment for your property! Congrats,

Sandy,you most definitely 👍 will be able to get into tighter spaces with the new mini skid steer 😮😊❤

Another toy! your toy list must be getting pretty short and it's not even Christmas/ ha ha

Is this one of Brian Baumler's products?

That smile - haha, good on you

That thing is Awesome. Small and compact but I’m impressed at the size of some of those Hardwood logs it can lift. What is the lift capacity of the forks and boom? I’m figuring about 2500 lbs. Congratulations on your new Toy.

Wow, nice piece of equipment, looks like fun to operate. 👍 so😎😁

You are officially ; Man of many toys. Nice little rig.

Sorry for so many comments,but what is the max lift height for that mini skid steer. If that info will be in a future video then never mind I will find out with everyone else.

That is a lot of future fire wood you just moved!!!

Yeah buddy.that’s a pretty big smile

Maaaan, you are going to have fun with that.Enjoy

Did you purchase that or was it given to you?

Rented one of those last fall! Great little unit - just needs counterweights and it can be a little bit rough to drive. But they have a lot of power and a lot of fun to drive.

Good on you mate! Happy for you there!!!

Could that smile get any bigger?

Nice machine, do you have to pay a carbon tax on that

No drink holder! 😂 Forget about it 😮

Congratulations on your new toy.

How much weight can it pick up?

Good afternoon, Sandy! Skidsteers are a blast to run. I've operated both foot control and hand control ones, but never a stand-up. Your grin says it all! Have fun and be safe. Greetings from Peterborough.

I would’ve never bought my sawmill without having my skid steer, the tractors, nice and all, but you can’t beat a skid steer

youre killing me here...lol

That's awesome, you're getting quite the line up of equipment. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it.

Very nice Sandy, I know an arborist who has one of those, a different brand but they are very impressive little machines!

nice...

Can you lift a tote full of wood

Hey Sandy, you looked happier than a kid a christmas getting his first Tonka truck, that seems like one fantastic machine and I am sure a great asset to the you, it will help make things much easier for you, I am sure you will put it through its paces and see how it benefits you most. Looking forward to some more videos staring your new Baumalight.

Kid in a candy store.

The folks at the channel Dude Ranch DIY have that same mini skid the are using attachments, forks and stump grinder come to mind

now that the ticket

Not a mini, but my Bobcat T190 has been the best tool I have bought for the homestead build. If you're on dirt/gravel/snow/mud you can't beat tracks as long as you have the right tread pattern!! Mine was a used and abused one, but that just put the price in my range. Learned a lot rebuilding it. You'll have a blast with that lil guy and you'll find yourself wanting a 60-75hp in no time! 😂❤

Thanks Sandy

Fun!

2 min in and I already love it

That thing looks like it will be a blast! Can't wait to see if you can pick up a full IBC tote and move it around!

Good addition.

Awesome!

OK good, want to see the Grapple... Nice machine..

38 grand?? That’s a rich man’s toy! Looks cool though

Impressive little unit, congrats and I'm sure it will serve you well.

That machine is the ticket, it will be easy on the body for sure.

Nice little machine. First time seeing one. Money will spent I say.

Wow, very nice machine. Great video!👍🏻

Have i got what you need lol
