Introducing the 204L Articulating Loader; Features and Demo 

Homework: Read the manual, JD does a good job at operator instructions. Great job !

What a beauty! The loader’s nice too!

you keep getting more and more comfortable in front of the camera. You are on your way to be a star.

Great video! Congratulations on the purchase. See if you can park it inside or block it in after hours to prevent theft.

Congrats on getting the new machine! Very nice!

I was just reading through the comments hoping to find out this was purchased, at least partly, from your video income. I guess not, but you guys seem to be gaining a few thousand subscribers a week so hopefully soon you'll see some returns on all that filming and editing. 🤞

It is wonderful to see you documenting the growth of a forest industry from a humble beginning. Many of us have made the same journey without the record. You have a way taking the drudgery out of sawmill operations. Thanks

Oh boy the Boss Man was just like a kid playing in the sand box with his new toy!

You’ll find a HUGE difference between the industrial loader and the farm tractor. Industrial machines are way more solid. You’re going to love that about the Deere.

Congratulations on this nice new addition to your growing business

John Deere, and brand new, doesn't get much better than that. Great machines and you should really be able to bump up production!

I like it, You sure have a lot of money wrapped up in machines.

Wowww, Emerald! Fall-back job for you, just in case--John Deere spokesmodel!!! Nah, I know nothing could tear you away from that Woodmizer. Awesome new purchase; I"m looking forward to seeing the yellow beast in action, and I know you are looking forward to driving it. Tell the boss he can't sleep in it tonight, as much as he's going to want to. I hope it serves you all well for many long years!!

congrats on the new equipment! You all are on your way to more success .

Congrats on the new addition! 👍🦌

Congrats to all of you for the new machine!

Super stoked for you guys. Adding a new machine to the log yard that will revolutionize your efficiency is super exciting…and you and the boss clearly show that enthusiasm about it 😊

One can feel your excitement. Congratulations!

It really is beautiful. Congratulations, kid. It should last for decades

love the loader wishing you the best of luck with it!!!

The extra hydraulic remote on the loader is wonderful for a grapple bucket. I've seen a hydraulic thumb used along with pallet forks to move logs.

I'd like to have that loader in my wood yard ! You are going to love it !!

Now that there is cooler than the other side of the pillow!! After you talked us through the bells and whistles, I thought you go lift up a dump truck or sumpthin. Guess that’s in tomorrow’s vid. Enjoy the new tool! 🥸👍💥❗️✅

Great new John Deere Loader for your logging biz. You will need a second set of forks to supplement your machine inventory.

I liked watching the boss do the inspection:) he seems very well versed

You're going to love this machine. Nothing runs like a Deere. Well done. Thank you for sharing.

Great vid Emerald. Good luck with the 204L. I'm sure it will serve you well. Another piece of the puzzle to streamline the day to day operation of the lumber yard.

Congrats! It‘s nice to see you so excited and vivid about this new toy. So - Happy working :-)

Congratulations Boss Man! Exciting times!

I’m amazed at your knowledge and how comfortable you are discussing the workings of this machine. Having seen a previous video I noticed that you were still schooling. This makes me wonder how old you are? I know in the USA you attend school longer than here in the UK. When I first started watching you and your sisters I thought you all were between 14-16/17. I think it’s great that you all are playing your part in dad’s business and I’m sure when the day comes you will have no trouble taking over the reins should you want too. With your clear abilities you never know you may get offered a position as a tv presenter somewhere. Well done for putting out such interesting content. Thanks

That is an awesome loader! Very happy for you guys, it's gonna be very useful I'm sure!

Nice loader best of luck with it many years of motoring

Go guy's,cool machine,you are inspiring with your positive proactive work ethic with high quality videos and commentary,cheers from Australia.

I love to see what you are doing and the way you are doing it. Keep going and doing it your way. Nice greetings from Germany

Nice to have new equipment! Even better when is a multi-use piece of equipment.

Omg sweet Congrats We've been eyeball in one for our log yard I can't wait to see how you Use it

Yay, just like Christmas! Which is how we feel every time you post.

That compost pile is going to get stirred up pretty regular now lol. Love it glad to see y’all excited getting new equipment 👍🏼🙏🇺🇸❤️😎

Really pleased for you all, a new loaded hopefully means profits are up. Scooping up all that saw dust you will have a mirror finish to the bucket in no time.

Congrats! Great looking machine!

Great machine- best of luck with it.

New machine day is always fun! As a mostly Deere farm here, big thumbs up on the Deere loader!! Andrew

It looks great. Congratulations! Good luck. 👍

Looking Great Emerald, keep posting those videos 😊

Looks awesome hopefully it will be a great tool for your operation

CONGRATS ! wheel loaders are the best ! Kubota would be my choice has hydraulic quick attach the boss wasn't convinced with electric and he is right but that machine should be great !

Congrats on the new toy, I'm sure it will make life easier there. 👍

Congrads on your new purchase I hope it works well for you I am sure u will like it in the winter for pushing snow

Oh hell yeah! New toys! That’s always a great day!

I was wondering when use were going to buy a loader. They make a huge difference in a lumber yard and in a skid as well. Awesome to see the boss man happy with his purchase 🙏🏾

Very cool and exciting! I used to work in a mining facility they had some big equipment like that (not the monster ones) I could stand fully upright in the buckets. You should love the handling and convenience of it, congratulations.

Sweet to see your new toy.

Happy for you guys...

That is such a cute loader, impressed with the width of the tires and their tread pattern as its not the useless bar grip across designed for gravel pit wear. Also didn't realize they make hydrostatic drive loaders but totally makes sense for the smaller units. Looks very maneuverable too for tight quarters in your yard. Articulating ahead of the cab should offer greater visibility for the forks in a turn over a front cab mount style loader. The height to get in/out of the cab looks fantastic as the operator would be doing that constantly with the type of work in your yard. Hopefully the ever dreaded emissions won't be an issue as per any brand of unit one buys these days is forced to deal with.

Congrats on the new machine!! nothing runs like a Deere!

Congrats and hope it will be as versatile as you desire as you acquire more implements.

Very articulating Emerald! 😊Thanks for sharing! 👍

Höchsten Respekt vor eurer Arbeit und eurer tollen Familie! Bin selber ein Holzmacher, viele Grüße an euch!!

The Bossman is pretty smart, I like that.

Awesome! Well deserved, y’all!

You sound pretty happy there Missy!!! Nice machine 👏

Nice! I have a Case W20B loader with a case 35A backhoe adapted and attached to the weight plate hanger in the back. The Joshua Tree National Park Service ordered it that way from Case, so it is all set up clean with quick disconnects on the hydraulics. I hang a Rock Jaw grapple off the bucket to load logs onto my Woodmizer LT40. It also has a four way front bucket, so it's a pretty versatile machine.

Fantastic Love getting new kit.

Yes! A grapple in the near future! Really nice machine!

Cool new toy...nice new tattoo aswell 👌

Fantastic, congratulations and God bless! Stay safe, all. TFS

Very nice new toy, it will make the log yard run a easy

Cool , that will last for years , those are nice , you can get grapples , grapple buckets, works like a grapple, dozer blade , bucket , snow plow blades , etc,

Too cool. That should make life easier. Great videos. Thank you.

Congrats! You girls are gonna love that Deere! Put er to work!! 👍👍

Nice machine !

AWESOME MACHINE!

The thing looks fast and agile, it's the perfect tool for the girls. The two extra hydraulic connections are necessary anyway for many applications in landscaping and for special accessories. It will definitely make work a lot easier, I'm happy for the family.

Well somebody’s excited!! No freaking way it’s a John Deere... welcome to the family. Lol You guys are going to use that a lot. The quick attach is nice we have one on our skid and excavator

Gonna be fun in the winter!

Thats a nice machine! Strong but not too big and clumsy. Quick attachment is a most and will save you a lot of time. The only downside i noticed was that that the hood over the engine dident go up so high, and those 2 gas lifters looks a bit in the way when doing service, but i think thats a great machine that will do you a lot of good! 👍🇸🇪

Nice!! Right tool makes the job easy!

congratz on the new machine

New tattoo yay 😀 great new upgrade the loader and the tattoo good for you guys

Looks like that machine will be a game changer. Be aware that the quick change attachment devices can fail, causing the attachment to fall off. Make sure they are kept clean and properly maintained.

Beautiful loader and nice too

Congratulations with the new loader. Boss Man works a lot of hours not to have nice equipment, Kudos

Awesome I would run that at no charge for a long time.great job on the video thank you for sharing this event I will be waiting for the next video.stay safe

Well Emerald answered my questions . Thanks!

Excellent, congratulations 🎉

Always always always lift your loader up and check that the pins have latched into the attachment when you switch before you get busy and use the machine. They’ll be not in place the odd time because of some dirt or snow or something against the mounting plate and your attachment can come loose or if only one has engaged the lock it can bend the attachment or the pin or something. Enjoy the new addition to your equipment!

Congratulations on the new loader, you will wonder how you got by without it. And I'm sure you will get a set of forks w/a grapple ,your third valve will come in handy for that. Now the question is will you be able to get the boss out of it so y'all Can run it? Love your channel watch every chance I get. Brad from fla.

I'm as stoked as the boss. All I want to see is hard working people be able to purchase the equipment they need. Is it really that hard for so many people to see?

Make a sawdust heater with antifreeze rads/fans. Would help get rid of it.

This is Awesome! Congrats! 🎉

Nice loader. You will want a grapple to go with the forks. It's more useful and way safer.

Pretty sweet machine ,should really be a great addition to your equipment, thanks for sharing emera

It's a nice machine. I run a 544K JD. The salesman said the quick connect is eclectic But it's actually electric activated hydraulic Now for a word of warning. When servicing the machine disconnect the bucket or attachment from the machine. Raise the arms up to the point you can see under the area were the connection pins come out. This area contains the pins that also houses the hydraulic motor. There is a plate that is held on with 5/8 inch bolts. Remove the plate and clean it out. Dirt and debris can get into the area and get packed in. It can get built up enough that the C clips that hold the pins to the ram piston can get pushed off. Of the clip comes off you can not release the attachment. Replacing the C clip is a royal PITA to put back on in a confined space.

Brand spankin new!!! My dad got a brand new 544 A back when i was 12!! He got drunk in the office with the dales rep. They told me and my brother to unload it and start screening topsoil. We did!!! I see the sam excitement in you.

We expect to see you using this new loader real soon, Emerald.

Have fun with the new toy

Reminds me of the times when I was driving those in construction. Looks nice, damn now I wanna get one of those and plan a field xD

Thank you for the presentation of the new loader (Ken's new toy) that will benefit the yard and make life easier on the women folk. Juda eventually. Did John kill off thier Green? The Gray doesn't look bad but I miss the green. Very good video Thank You Miss Em, Bossman and the John Deere Tech.

Gota luv getting new toys!

You will love that loader. I wouldn’t want to run my sawmill business without mine.
