1 Year / 280 hour review on the Bobcat MT100 Mini Skidsteer! Watch before buying!

[@Nondescript15]

This was super helpful. Especially the commentary at the end. Thanks man!

[@NextGenLandscapeDesign]

Great video. I will be picking my new one ( wide tracks 2023) in one week. I like that lighter weight bucket.

[@EliteLawnCareLandscaping]

Congrats! You’ll love it. The 52” light material bucket is awesome. We use it for a lot more than what they it’s meant for 🤣

[@metaspencer]

Cool to see your insights and hear about your experience. thanks man

[@DubSidhe]

I have yet to see any vieos of this machine driving on hills and am very curious to see that and hear about your experience on hills especially wet grass/ ground. Also curious to know how it does on snow plowing in tight spaces, etc.

[@1teddy1979]

We got about the same hrs on our first set of tracks the original bobcat ones suck we got camoplast i believe they were and they are way better. Great machine super simple and no electronic crap to break. We are about 350hrs now and no issues with it

[@rontopping2048]

Great review, been in business 30 years own full size track machines. Only needed to rent a mini skid once in 30 years of business . To fill under a deck.

[@EliteLawnCareLandscaping]

We use it daily. Makes our lives 1000x easier and we do thing way faster. It does the work of 4 guys easily

[@diamondedgeoutdoormanagmen5466]

I figured Bobcat would have done away with the parking brake pin when the mt55/52 were replaced. That pin was always getting stuck. Great review video

[@mercedesbenzisbest]

Just gotta wiggle the the joystick and take the pressure off the park pins

[@JohnOsborn-gj6dn]

I have a Vermeer S800, OK machine, but the dealer in Perth Western Australia are full of themselves and offer shit service/ warranty, so I'm looking at other options, Kubota looks good but has an electronic dash which doesn't enthuse me, , I will likely go Bobcat. Thanks for the review. Also, when you're back blading/ levelling, use the cutting edge which is hard and replaceable. The back of the bucket will wear out doing that.

[@mrmarty1403]

1200 hours on our MT85. Kept waiting for something bad to happen but rolled the dice and came up lucky. Just added the 100 to the fleet and am looking forward to not having to grease the rollers - what a pain. Hope Bobcat fired that designer. Love your channel.

[@Elementsian]

Great feedback. Crazy how backordered these are...

[@EliteLawnCareLandscaping]

What’s the timeline right now? I just recently ordered a ditch witch sk1550 and the sales rep said to expect it in 12-16 months 😳

[@Elementsian]

@@EliteLawnCareLandscaping I ordered at the end of March, was told July... Now early Q4. I've heard of guys getting them sooner, must be a dealer relation thing?

[@pauljoseph8338]

Great review. Thanks for sharing.

[@jacob0854]

Do you have a video about installing the lights?

[@pinepillarlandscapingconst686]

Only a 1/3 pallet? Was really hoping it could do a half pallet… our pallets are about 2500 lbs the extra counterweights won’t push it to 1250?

[@EliteLawnCareLandscaping]

No, ours are typically 2500lbs too Full size machine or a ditch witch 1550 is what you want to move a full pallet

[@pinepillarlandscapingconst686]

@@EliteLawnCareLandscaping thanks! Yeah I might get forks or a rigging system for my excavator. Once you get into the 1550 almost worth getting a full size any way.

[@Walshslandscaping]

Great review

[@bobbowlinex9319]

I really like the z pattern tracks on a skid steer, can you get them for the mini

[@EliteLawnCareLandscaping]

I’m not sure - I wanted multi bar tracks but they didn’t have them

[@sethmeashey3219]

Good video. Love my MT100! I also have a hydra bucket, and while i like the soil conditioner, the bucket itself isnt very usable because the drum teeth dig in.. do you find this to be an issue as well?

[@EliteLawnCareLandscaping]

Yes we do - you have to have the bucket raised a bit then tilt it down to the ground so the drum isn’t rubbing. Kind of annoying but still way better than having to unhook a designated soil conditioner to switch out to a bucket, and vice versa

[@sethmeashey3219]

@@EliteLawnCareLandscaping I agree. Its a shame the drum isnt retractable or something because the bucket is insanely nice and way overbuilt!

[@pavelkolp]

How big is that Hydra bucket? Are you happy with that size?

[@EliteLawnCareLandscaping]

52”. I love it

[@paddyirishman9059]

I was just looking at machine MT 100 2022 last week they want $42,000 out the door. City of Ventura

[@EliteLawnCareLandscaping]

Wow they’ve gone up a lot. It’s def a money making machine though. We use ours daily

[@pavelkolp]

They should be around $32,000-$35,000 right now.

[@sionefifita5891]

Price gouging frfr

[@robertmartinez1069]

You get alot of people that just want that hydrabucket service

[@mrmarty1403]

Just bought one in 2024 for $41k. Attachments for another $12k.

[@jaredrobinson3019]

I had the same clicking of the parking break with my MT100 as well! Great review!

[@EliteLawnCareLandscaping]

What did you do to fix it?

[@jaredrobinson3019]

@@EliteLawnCareLandscaping I didn’t have a good solution for that. I just moved it forward so it rested on the metal that separates the park brake from being engaged or not. Not sure if that makes sense but 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@EliteLawnCareLandscaping]

@@jaredrobinson3019 we couldn’t fix it either. I just have a small bungee cord holding the brake up now lol

[@jasonprevatte8789]

There’s a cable inside the back hatch where u stand that u adjust to fix parkin brake mine done same thing

[@EliteLawnCareLandscaping]

@@jasonprevatte8789 have you adjusted it? Was it hard to do?

[@davekushman2363]

Is your fuel gauge broken or are you actually running the machine that low on diesel?

@@davekushman2363 it’s works when it wants to lol almost always shows empty

How’s the top speed forward and reverse on it? I have a mt 55 but grading is slow

I’m not sure on the exact speed but it doesn’t feel slow

how much was this?

You know where I can buy a bigger bucket for the mt100 ?

I have a 52” 1/2 yard “light” material bucket I got from blue diamond. It says it’s for snow and mulch but we literally use it for everything lol

New tracks at 280 hrs!!! Yikes!

[@EliteLawnCareLandscaping]

Yep they were pretty bald

[@Wolfmann99]

They really don't last long my machine at 295 spit a lug out of the track internally had a ton of meat on track but that's it would of failed shortly after.

[@6Diego1Diego9]

Why not just buy a regular skid steer

[@JohnOsborn-gj6dn]

Access.

[@mrmarty1403]

Thats funny. Telling your guy to just run it through the paces while you go do some paperwork. Couple minutes later machine's in the office...your guy says "you never showed me how to stop it. Sorry boss, my bad. Where do want the key?"
