WE'RE LIFTING NOW! - Full walk through & test of the Norcar Loader 

Hi folks. As mentioned in the video, this is a demo machine on loan. We are not paid by Blacktrac or Norcar and have the machine at our expense, (insurance, fuel, attachments, etc). Therefore it means we will be able to give a real world test of the loader as we put it to work on our projects. Filming the full demo is as much for us to familiarise ourselves with the kit as it is to share with viewers, so thanks as always to Oscar for his time. 👍

Hats off to Blacktrac for their vision of hands on “advertising” (and customer support) and Norcar for their design and implementation. This is the kind of service and product that makes me wish I could be a customer.

We have a large Manitou telehandler, primarily for loading grain wagons with a 3 tonne grain bucket and its the life of the farm. That little thing lifting your fence post stack was outstanding, what a machine for such a small footprint. Looking at your farm layout and what you need that thing is your perfect machine Tim. Always keep the boom as short as possible for each job and it'll serve you well for years and years and years.

A friend of mine is running a similar machine as a groundsman on a big estate. It's crazy what they can lift. He's extracted very very large logs out of a pretty steep woodland, and it's pretty easy on the ground. There's so many attachments to, probably one of the most versatile machines out there. IMO

I know it's not a toy Tim but I could play for hours and hours with that. Regards Jim.

Great support from Blacktrack and a highly versatile machine for your intended use around the yard. Impressive workhorse. 😎👍✅✅✅

Fantastic piece of kit. Sounds like it's just what you needed.

Boys and their toys, would like one myself but sadly don't have use for one 😐. Looks like an awesome bit of kit for your needs! Great video and thanks for sharing 👍

I am sure Jo will love it😍

That is a much better machine for your application than a larger platform. You are both novice operators so having a smaller more capable machine is the right choice. With Jo getting confident operating this machine you'll be able to double team some serious work. I'd also definitely look at the fail mower attachment for the front. with the extending boom you will be able to mow the creek and pond edges more safely from a platform that can sit up on the edge of the bank and extend the mower over the edge and down the bank. A post hold knocker would be an interesting attachment, the bail grasp, as well as a small man basket for getting you to higher work areas. I'd use the hell out of this machine while you have it so you understand it limits. Take care D

Looks a good peace of kit, you can't go wrong with plenty of training, thus prevents things going wrong and accidents happening, will make light work.👍🙂

Very interesting video! Great tool for the farmyard only, moving stuff around but then again so is a skid steer -which can turn on the spot. It can't compete with doing any normal tractor work either, -as many people incorrectly seem to think here, such as towing, cultivating, ploughing and seeding. For a start, the wheels are too small for wet field work and it has no rear three point linkage.

That's a handy machine to have. Very versatile 👌

NorCar and Avant, both Made in Finland.

I'm very impressed with the turning circle on that! Very nifty machine, I can see it getting a huge amount of use

Love your work 👍

That’s a perfect addition to your build

Great bit of kit 😃👍

Looks like a great tool.

Looks great fun. And notice you have been busy getting some OSB up on the cabin.

Nice machine,i know a farmer that has got one but a different make he loves it for cleaning out small pens moving round bales into tight area,i think it's this is seconded one he had

Wonderful video my friend ＋👍🔔

Great little machine alright.

Looks good to me only time will tell 😁👍

Fits the bill perfectly 👍🏻 from me

Love to see the video where you do the school run with it ! - lol

Definitely looks like the right bit of kit around your compact farm yard. With a normal sized telehandler you'd forever be doing 20+ point turns. And are you sure your dumper truck didn't have a little flirt with the neighbours telehandler when it came to visit? As it really is a baby cross between the those two.

I honestly think that for 90% of jobs this is far more useful than a small tractor, most jobs the Norcar can't do you would be better off with a full size tractor.

It only versatile and practical but looks like a lot of fun…win win🤗🙋🏻‍♀️🇬🇧💕jane

I like tractors but they are a jack of all trades master of none. You will find yourself using the Norcar far more than the tractor. Tractors are not fun to use for loader work. It'll do it but it's not as easy or fast as something made to do it. With anything Hydrostatic is the way to go for speed and convenience.

Wow, over £30k, would get a top notch skid steer for that kind of money. Maybe get a demo on a JCB teliskid, a used one should be avalible for that kind of money.

When moving a pallet, you want to put just a slight back tilt on rather than keeping the forks level, this is standard practice when operating a forklift, only time you have your forks level is when you insert or remove from the pallet.

I love that thing, so versatile and nibble it suits the farm and looks really nice.

The Norcar or Avant will do most if all the jobs your mini tractor can do any day all day

Blacktrac Nice:)

Looks brilliant, in fact if it was battery powered it would be perfect!

Looks like you have the perfect toy to deal with most if not all of the yard jobs. Another good vlog, thanks

looks like a great piece of kit. would you be thinking of getting one of these and still keep the tractor, or would you need to choose between the two?

What are your thoughts on Security for your farm and equipment such as your tractors and such, as your videos are seen by a lot of people ?.

Although it articulates to a certain degree be very careful with a machine like that. The 'roll cage' is barely sufficient (i.e highly questionable) from a safety perspective. But if its just for material handling on a concrete surface then it should be quite a convenient machine (for a price). Its perfect for a small farm really (in and around the sheds) and far exceeds the capabilities of a fork lift in your use case context.

Dear Santa…

You might wear a lapel mic for better sound levels. The sound varies when someone is away from the camera.

Lovely handy little thing. Just watch out with lifting heavy stuff: if you're maxing out and lifting high, then it could suddenly bend in the middle and no amount of steering will prevent that. It'll tip over very very quickly. Perhaps do some research on that

Still think a skidsteer is better, does alot more and so many attachments

Unusually when I came to watch the vlog There was no sound !!!! What a pity

For safety sake please get used to putting the forks down when they are empty and you get off the truck. Seen too many forklift accident videos, makes me shudder

Yeahhhh, another 24minute advert.
