John Deere has the BEST skid steer? Let’s see about that 

Talk with Andy Hourigan , Farming, Fixing, and Fabrication in New York State. He has a bunch of skid steers in his dairy operation and will have great info .

Feels so cool that units I built at my job at John Deere dubuque works in action. Takes about an 8 hour day to build a 333G from start to finish. We build 42 units a day.

I heard Mornin first thing, so I am a happy camper. Like 👍 is automatically a given. Happy subscriber 😊!

I do concrete for a living as a contractor. Stuff like your House we would pour is and place a kinda reusable Bubble Wrap on top to protect it from the cold, works depending on the thickness of the pour and the choosen Cement, down to 14 F when the Ground isnt frozen rock solid. For Jobs like your Shop.. we would build the side walls, and foundation, so they put up the shop and roof, and would pour the base under the cover of the roof, so we can smooth the concrete to your needs. Btw Brian, if you ever want to pull the dozers in the Shop. The transition should be smooth ebven more with floor heat, and ask the local gravel pitts/Quarrys for some feet of used comveyor belts. and throw it between the tracks and the floor to keep it unscratched.

I gotta admit, I love the ASV machines...Their undercarriage makes it glide across the ground & for a VERY comfortable day's work for the operator, & is perfect for ag use. & always buy a CTL with a 4-in-1 bucket, which will out perform a 6-in-1 dozer blade any day in the right hands.

Ran bobcats, a gehl, and 4 Deere’s on track and wheels and the Deere tracks are by far the best ones I’ve ever ran. I would definitely go with a 333.

I have heard that the 333g are just a beast my friend was really impressed with what they can do they have had case skid steers

If your serious about getting a 6 way blade for a skid steer you should look into the new case dl550 their dozer design is the best on the market in my opinion cause it pushes off the frame and not the loader arms

Thank you Brian, I always enjoy and appreciate your videos!

We farm and have a 333g it is a beast! Bucket, grapple, and disc mulcher is its main use. Have a smaller 75hp Takeuchi also.

We have a 324 g on our farm and love it can’t hardly keep the old man out of it we use it mainly for bedding and scraping and it does it pretty well heated seat is also a nice touch

I have about 1200 hrs on my 333E with no major complaints. I run a super heavy brush cutter or a power rake most of the time. No DEF, but the DPF can be a pain at times.

Cousin Ben was very impressive in the skid steer looked like he would be rough on equipment. Hopefully the weather will get better soon so your home construction can resume. I really enjoy your videos content

Ran most all brand and Takeuchi has been the best overall to me. May not have as smooth a ride as others but quality of machine, size of cab, style of door, and ease of maintenance I’d choose it over any brand

We have a 333G purchased new in 2017 from Cazenovia Equipment in CNY. We use it on our small crop farm and for our landscaping business and it has been an excellent machine. We had one slight issue when it was a couple days old, other than that it’s worked flawlessly and will lift almost anything you put in front of it.

My dad has a 333g john deere I have drove it it is a beast of a skid steer he got it from ag pro in mansfield oh used to be shear equip

Cat 259 d3 here. You can’t beat the John Deere’s for power however 3 thousand hrs and it v be eat to death.

Another RU-vidr had two different 333g they both needed new motors with less than two hundred hrs on them. John Deere did put new motors in them but I would be worried about them for long haul.

Brian you should talk to Dirt Perfect or Clint from C&C for their knowledge on good skid steers.

Great video thanks for sharing

Brian, they make a clam shell 4 inch tee. It comes apart, then it just has 4 twist lock pins. Little more money but less hassle.

Howdy Brian, I hope your doing well, My favorite skidsteer will always be Cat hands down, than JD, but one skidsteer I would Never own, is Kubota, unless your willing to change engines everytime you change the oil, than don't buy a Kubota 😂 Stay safe and Farm on ya'll, Peace

Those are the only skid loader to own at the moment, there biggest weak point is the pivot pins for the bucket, they do become sloppy over time. Deere has had this issue for awhile and see they have it corrected for the next series!

I got a 6 way with my 333g and it is very difficult for me to use without washboarding the shit outa stuff. I'm probably just not goo with it but imo it's a difficult implement to use on one of these compact loaders.

If I was in the market, Manitou/Gehl would be a priority. Their track auto-tension system & folding cab door are intriguing. After that, probably Wacker-Neuson & NH/CiH. I'm not crazy about my local deere dealer, so wouldn't even consider them unless they wanted to give me one.

Two videos above this one in my feed is a video titled “My John Deere skid steer blew up!” 😂😂

Evening, still 80° . Sorry bout the rain send down here please. Hello from Siesta Key Florida

Good call on waiting a few days on the house work, "Probably coulda got away with it" is not how you want to be doing concrete work when there's weather involved.

Would love to see you demo a bobcat next to a Deere skid loader of compatible hp and get your take

My grandad has a skid steer like that, and he really enjoys driving it

Your Challenger tractor really impresses me.

We have both a Deere 325G skid loader and a cat 289d. We run a big farm operation and everyone hates the Deere over the cat, the controls are jerky, it's less comfortable and the hydros under the cab are louder on the Deere. If you want to do delicate work that cat is without a doubt better but for quick get in and go kinda work the Deere isn't bad . Also worth noting are cat is at least 4 years older than the Deere and has given us next 2 no trouble and it's been run hard .

Lookie at that southern Ohio clay. Gets as hard as a rock. Ya'll got some top soil there. Twenty miles north it is the top soil! 😊

One thing about Deere skiddies, they have a lot of hydraulic power and output. Stay away from the botas,,,, that’s my advice. Now, if you want a horse of a skiddy,,, and I know you’re turning your nose up on CAT, but the 289’s and 299’s are super good. I’ve got the 299 with the forestry package, extra hydraulic cooler. It IS a rubber tracked dozer. And by the way? All the new cats and Deere have the codes to start them now. 😂

They are all good machines. So are just better than others 😊

Great video great content. JCB all the way 😊

If you have a good JCB dealer, test drive their extendable boom. And the side door is wonderful

Deer skids are pretty reliable Bryan we’re running 6 of them two 333’s two 331’s and two 329’s there weak spot is there bucket pins on the bottom of the arms. And hopefully you have a better relationship with ur Murphy dealer ours completely sucks

From what I've seen, a lot of the Construction guys like Deere

When I trade my cat off it will be a jcb because I work alone and want to get out of my machine with the bucket raised up with deere cat and there awesome idea of a swing door and not being able to open it unless its all the way down or all the way up is dumb !!!

ASV makes the best skid steer.

Just a very interested viewer here, I’ve run a fair number of different wheeled skidsteers and only 10 Minutes in an offbrand track machine but I have watched a lot of RU-vid videos on most of the major brands and one brand I think that you shouldn’t overlook is the ASV if you could get a demo machine I would be really curious as to your thoughts.

Take a look at the CASE DL550 Minotaur if you want to put a blade on it also. Dirt Perfect Demo'd one for awhile and could give some you some input. Just a thought. Availability for parts and service is the Key. JCB has a nice unit also

I’m looking for a skid now. Have no idea what brand is best. Prefer a larger skid but tracks, air tires, etc hard to choose. Mainly want it for cleaning property.

JCB Teleskid 3 :P ... would be nice to see some test rides on your farm operation

Looks like a keeper to me, you dont see skidsteers at all overhere in the netherlands, most farmers use minidozers anyways thanks for the video and have a good day greetings from a Dutch dairyfarmer

Good show

We’ve got a 2018 333G. I’ve run many different brands and the Deere takes the cake. You won’t regret buying a Deere if that’s what you end up with

All skidsteers are basically the same. Lift capacity, hp and maneuverability are about the same. What sets them apart is ergonomics, ease of service and ease of getting in and out of the damn things

Awesome to see the 331 demo....... Did you figure out the Joystick "sensitivity" (speed at which hydraulics react) on the keypad...... it makes a big difference when trying to ie: feather gravel on a driveway or like when cousin Ben was just pushing, lifting and moving gravel.... finesse vs. aggressive - 3 levels Note: we own a 331G. Every brand has different kwirks..... I prefer the Deere.

Skid loader preference must be a regional thing? The negative Kubota comments are interesting. I am a supervisor for the largest landscape and grading contractor in the area. We run eight SVL75's and run them hard. We rarely, and I mean almost never, have a mechanical issue with them. I can't remember a single engine issue. On the other hand, we have 12 ASV RT30's. Why so many? Because so many are broke down at any given time. They exist only for confined spaces. I'd guess that Kubota has at least 50% of the market around here, CAT 25% and Bobcat the majority of the remaining. Very few Deere, Case, etc. I can't remember seeing a JCB other than at the machinery show. I ran an SVL75 myself for six years for my previous employer and never had a single issue. Follow prescribed maintenance and work it. One of my buddies bought a very nice CAT because of the cab. It was comfortable and quiet. I ran it for him when he would get behind and enjoyed every minute of it. He traded it for a Kubota 95 because it was at the dealer shop more than on his job sites.

I like John Deere. ❤

Why were folks putting weeping tile in what appeared to be an Ag field with zero buildings connected? What I am missing here?

Yup dear makes a good skid loader until you sitting is seating you want to get out in the bucket Up in the air

Case Minotaur DL550. Dirt Perfect just demo’d one a month ago. He absolutely loved it.

What is your opinion of JCB That side entry would be safer. Thanks BFF

Very good Video 👍

It just doesn't look big enough for you. I agree with the guy who recommended you contact Andy Hourigan at Farming, Fixing, and Fabricating. He knows skid steers inside & out.

I would take a JCB over a Deere any day, same power, but with their design and the door on the side you can get in and out no matter where the bucket is at and a better field of view from inside all the way around.

Some day Dax will be saying that about you and the change of plans.

John Deere can lift that’s about it. Glorified rattle traps and way slower than anything else. Cheaply made also. Only skid I’ve ever bent the front quick attack plate

try the jcb best cab on the market

Double Mornins! 💜

Asv has my vote

My dad was always changing his mind overnight.

JCB are good , when the booms fail halfway up on other machines , you can at least get out out of the side door ha ha !!

You guys should demo a job telascid

Great video

6 way blades on CTLs aren't great because the cutting edge is so far ahead of the front idler.

Good video.

I prefer my JCB, you can easily get in and out with the boom in any position. So much safer.

Hello!

You might wanna look into a Case DL550 if you didn't know now you do! Run circles around any loader.. true story

The john deer definitely has the picking power but over time there not as good of a machine as a cat or kubota. I would definitely recommend trying the jcb just because of the convenience of getting in and out

John Deers are powerful good units....However I work for Kubota, I highly suggest trying one!!! If you buy one get the insurance plan and you can't go wrong.

We’ve had a couple deeres down here across the river from you, but we have better luck with kubota. Mainly just because we like the door better

The 333 and 331 have two weak points. The final drives and lots of injection issues. They are nice to run Personally I would recommend to stay cat. Just move up models ( more horses).

Coming from a mainly John Deere farm and demoing a Deere skid loader…. That was a big NOPE! Ended up with a Bobcat for a few years and it did well, but now we have a Cat 299d3 and it’s far better than Bobcat, Deere, etc. rides better, handles two bales better, digs great, easier to clean, and QUIETER!

OH NO, NOT A CHANGE OF PLANS!!!

Oh the dreaded ‘mental checkout’ is the worst!!

5:25 What about the JCB Teleskid 3TS-8T ? Would that be a contender

if you ever run a Takeuchi, you'll throw rocks at that Deere.....

Brian get a New Holland or a Case you just can't beat them.

Mornin’

Who are the Cargills?

Mornin

I would take a kubota or JCB to be able to get out the door no matter where the bucket is...

Try a jcb

Kubota and JCB you can open the door with the bucket at any height ;) Not being able to open the door once it's up is a HUGE design flaw and safety hazard that I am amazed hasn't cost any of the lazy manufacturers millions yet.

skid steers have thier place but holy shit are they useless for moving any amount of dirt.. a backhoe will push 5 times more and carry it faster and smoother all while being able to see better.. the only time a skid steer is nice is for final grade on something or stuff you could use a wheel barrow for

what about jcb

Would u be interested in a 250 houred jcb tracked teleskid?

Evening

You must watch Flair ? Lol

Id get a jcb with the door on the side !! Deer stuff is overpriced and depreciates the fastest

289d cat hands down a better machine. Much quieter and built better. Pin system on deere and quick attach is garbage. A lot of engine problems also.

👍👍👍

What's it cost to demo equipment

why dont they use 4 in one buckets in America?

I gotta vote for Kubota!!
