@Jameson Lewis instablaster =)

[@jamesonlewis4273]

@Levi Anson Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site on google and I'm trying it out atm. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.

[@jamesonlewis4273]

@Levi Anson DAMN IT ACTUALLY WORKED :O I literally got access to my ig password within about 40 mins by using the site. Just had to pay 15 bucks but definitely worth it :) Thanks so much you saved my ass!

[@levianson1422]

@Jameson Lewis no problem =)

[@gmrocwater9922]

I just bought the 50, love it!!!

[@holymoly2330]

Just got the same machine $73k cash out the door great machine

[@oscarsantos2608]

I like yellow better, but you my friend, have made a smart 🤓 investment! Hope it serves you well!

[@firewoodprovidersnorthwest]

I need one of these machines, I have a fast growing firewood business here in Gaston, Oregon...and I have gotten to where I need a machine for the bigger logs.

[@davez2989]

How would you compare this to a Deer, Cat, Kubota, CAT? I know they look pretty much the same from the outside but so many things are different. What said this is the next one to try out?

[@holymoly2330]

I had bobcat all my life e45/55 this is a much nice machine imo

[@jamesbubbastew]

Hi, can you ship this hydraulic coupler to Australia?

[@wpog8453]

Did they offer that unit with a factory installed case drain?

[@SkidSteerSolutions]

Yep, the auxiliary hydraulics and case drain are options that they offer.

[@RT440Robert]

Besides Komatsu Yanmar have been my favorite minis to operate. Do you know why some Yanmars are red not yellow?

[@SkidSteerSolutions]

The new models are in this red color! Check out this article about the change: www.constructionequipment.com/yanmar-compacts-change-red-color-scheme#:~:text=Yanmar%20is%20changing%20its%20compact,to%20a%20red%20color%20scheme.

[@RT440Robert]

@@SkidSteerSolutions Oh awesome!

[@SydneyBuilder]

The new red colour seems to be a problem in Australia when working in the rail corridor. Rules state, no red or green (clothes, banners, machinery, signage etc) (especially lights) as train drivers may get confused with the train signals.

[@kennethheern4896]

What’s the difference between the 50 and a 55

[@SkidSteerSolutions]

Hi Kenneth, here is a website that compares the 50 and 55 www.yanmar.com/global/construction/products/excavator/vio50_vio55/spec.html

[@mclarenlewis7845]

What dealer did you purchase from?

[@ryanslipper7869]

Does the yanmar have a dedicated pump for the auxiliary circuit?

[@SkidSteerSolutions]

Ryan, yes - The yanmar has two pumps: the gear pump, and the variable displacement pump.

[@fenceplus5971]

I have the vio 55 with a brush cutter and post driver. I love fencing with it ! However 10 hr days in cab is rough! I wish it had a bigger cab. I also wish It wasnt a pain to relive the pressure off the QDs to swap out attachments and hook thumb up. I have never figured out why I always seem to have trapped presure and have to bust line loose to get QD to connect? Have you seen this yet on your unit ? Im conisdering a prinoth or loftness mulcher for mine, but the 21.8 GPM has me worried, I demo the cimaf and was so aggrivated at ramp up time so i kept the brush cutter...... Any tips ?

[@johnmattu7262]

To relive pressure on the couplers did you try shutting down machine the pulling the stick in both directions to relive any residual line pressure, should work. That's the nice thing with Takeuchi, they have a bleed off detent on the aux block. As for a mulcher, never seen one worth a shit on a standard flow machine of any type, and unless you're doing a vertical cut on a right of way or over a nasty embankment I think you're blow'in a dead goat with a mulcher excavator. A 100HP+ track loader, Takeuchi or ASV is the way to go in forestry mulching or a Lamtrac LTR6140, but 170K is a bit much to me. Looking into the 55 myself next week, wanted the 306 next gen, but CAT dealers suck unless you got 50 million in iron in your stable. Good luck!

[@eman67951]

Whats the joystick for ?

[@rteaw]

whats the price tag on a machine like this

[@rhacker3058]

Does this machine have Hi-flow on it for implements?

[@SkidSteerSolutions]

Hey Roger, the ViO55 comes standard with a flow rate of 21.8 GPM.

[@boitanoexcavation3564]

Nice looking machine but I would never buy a mini with a straight blade

[@nathanaelhagen3320]

They should have the angle blade option soon.

[@Michael-tu4gm]

@@nathanaelhagen3320 they do come standard with an angled blade now

[@540isilver]

What's the price of this machine

[@SkidSteerSolutions]

We don't sell the machines, just the attachments for them. We'd recommend contacting your local dealer for pricing!

[@Michael-tu4gm]

looking to pick one of these up this week, whats the price point?

[@SkidSteerSolutions]

You'll want to reach out to your local dealer, as prices vary depending on location.

[@jamesolson6145]

Cat controls

[@johnanderson963]

Put the xtera mower on it

[@SkidSteerSolutions]

We will! Stay tuned for that video in the coming months.

[@bekabeka71]

What I’d do to own a mini excavator even the cheapest one 🙄 it would be a therapy for my anxiety

[@mattd8411]

Worst customer service I've ever experienced. Been lied to and trying to buy a yanmar for 8 months.

[@TheGrasspond]

I hear Yanmar makes good machines. I hope you didn't take US tax payer based stimulus money and buy a foreign machine. Cat mini's are as good or better than any. They are made in Athens GA and the Cat engines are made in Texas. Bobcat's are made in US also. As a country we really need to start thinking about how foreign countries cheat in international trade and how that is affecting our country. I am really glad you didn't by a Sany (china) or this would be a nasty post.

[@TXGladiators]

Thanks for the info. I am buying a Sany.
