Comparing A 2021 Takeuchi TL12R2 To A 2011 TL250

[@dalepremo3695]

That was an outstanding comparison and gave us a lot of practical information. As you say, this is exactly where these KZbin channels excel - sharing information and hands-on experience. I think somebody is getting buying fever!!!

Just traded a '19 T870 bobcat to the '21 TL12R2 TAK. Love it,- swing up door, hydraulic ONLY controls, bigger cab, pushes harder @ lower RPM's. Happy man....get one, they don't disappoint.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

That’s awesome! They are fantastic machines I always tell people you just have to run one once! Appreciate the comment

[@dansevern3291]

Thanks for that video. I enjoy hearing info on machines from the people who operate them rather than someone who sells them. Especially stuff like this and the one where you had to replace the battery, that kind of info is something I wouldn't have thought of in looking at equipment. (Like I found that replacing a fan belt on my dozer actually required half a day's work and disassembly of most of the front of the machine. )

[@idigit4967]

Great comparison vid. I got a chance to run a TL8 about a year ago when I was helping my buddy build a boulder wall. That thing was super fast, twitchy, and responsive. It took me awhile to get used to after running my Deere for so long. You could tell the pilot controls are way different that electric over hydraulic controls.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thanks buddy! Yeah the pilot controls are very touchy I really like them very responsive. Appreciate you watching man

[@burningdinosaurs]

There's some really clever improvements. The 12 looks pretty good too. It's worth noting that even with a 10 year old machine, your skill proves a 10 year old takeuchi can still get the job done and done well. Thanks for the overviews! It was really interesting!

I still prefer the 250. Anything pre dpf is a plus. The whole tier 4 dpf system is a no for me. Take a torch to cut into the side panel for better battery access on the 250 and she is good for another 8,000 hours 😤😎

[@TermiteBenny]

We have 2 TL12R2 machines now and they are great. Bought one last year and put 1,500 hrs on it the first year so we decided to buy a second one last month. Love the new improvements on the cab and love the smoother ride on the tracks without the metal plates for the rollers to run on. Side note, the rear doors are way too thin. Definitely don’t do well when guys back into thing. Our older TL130 and TL230 can back into a concrete wall and barely leave a scratch. Do that with a new one and you’ll be buying a new door and radiator.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Yeah they are great machines! That’s what I want to get is a 12R2. Oh that’s good to know on the doors must be lighter steel

[@mikekopie9897]

Got to run the new 12 at the equip-expo today and it was really something else. We have an ‘08 TL150 and love it. Has 1400 hours but wanting to upgrade for hydraulic flow. Might keep it and just purchase new one but wow hard going back in the old 150 after running the 12

Thanks for the video. I didn't realize the 12 is so much larger. I'm still waiting for a TL10r2 to be made.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thank you! Yeah the 12 is big. I don’t know if they plan on making a 10R2. They only make the 8’ s in radial and the 10’s in vertical now. I would go with the 8r2 if the 12 is too big than what you need. The 10 is a bit under powered. It has the engine of the 8 in the frame of the 12. The 8r2 is an animal

Just think we're heavy equipment would be today without emissions regulations. If they kept the early 2000's standards and just fixed the little things like doors, travel motor efficiency, and maintenance access they'd be amazing.

No kidding the emissions have killed everything. Such a joke

[@Weszerr-l7r]

I used to own a tl250 that thing was a beast

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Yeah the 250’s are one of Takeuchi best loaders in my opinion

[@davetimmer5149]

Have a 2300, went with the TL12 V for our second one. Well worth the money. Size of the cab, it doesn't Bob as much while traveling with a lode and it grades better. One thing is the bucket and tracks are wider than you think or you thought it was.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Nice yeah the V2 are awesome! Great machine and that’s a big jump from a 230. Appreciate you watching

[@clydeacor1911]

You definitely went over most everything. I definitely prefer the vertical lift especially if you're loading trucks because it gets the bucket further and closer to the center of the bed and also lifts higher. The extra cost of the high flow made me just stick with the standard flow because you can get most attachments in a standard flow nowadays, mulchers and asphalt grinders are about the only thing you can't get in a standard flow and I don't do enough of it to justify the cost, if I do I just rent a machine for the specific job. I wished you could get them in a glider like they used to do with big trucks because the emissions are nothing but trouble and costly not to mention fuel efficiency is almost half of the pre emissions engines. Caterpillar used Perkins for year's and switched to Kubota engines and I didn't like the Kubota at all compared to the Perkins it used twice the fuel and I had constant problems with the fuel system and particulate filter plugging up because you had to run it wide open to keep it hot or it'd plug up, probably why it used twice as much fuel. Great video on the comparison!

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thank you! Yeah the emissions is just such a pain on everything. I’m sure there is a big cost difference in high flow I need to price them but I really like this machine. Appreciate the comment

[@MattyMattnj1]

What do you like better the radius lift or the vertical lift?..... I've always had a radio lift machine and I am agonizing over which way to go next

[@eliteearthworksllc]

It has more breakout force and is a stronger design for cutting and grading. If you primarily load trucks or move a lot of heavy pallets the vertical lift is what you want but if you do more cutting and grading I would get the radial lift. I don’t plan on ever having a vertical lift for I do

Say what you want about all of those bells and whistles, they look pretty and make all kinds of cool dings gongs and chirps. After having a DEF vehicle, I'll never have another one. I'll keep running my old shit until they quit making parts for them. The man that designed electronic exhaust wasn't doing so to help protect the environment, he was helping dealership service departments. They can have my share of Government Juice. I think I might consider one that just does the regen BS, but never a DEF ever again. I don't need the aggravation. .

[@HootakaBJ]

Will you be going with a R2 or a V2 when you get your new 12. Hi Flow? Is that a big cost difference?

[@eliteearthworksllc]

I’m going to get a high flow 12R2. The high flow is about $2k-$3k more and the V2 is also me expensive. I like the R2 better because the pump flows a few more gpm and the break force is a little better. If I was moving heavy pallets all the time I would probably get the v2 but the radial design is much stronger for grading

Buy the new one big money deal. Throw caution to the wind.

Don’t encourage him!

[@jaquigreenlees]

[@eliteearthworksllc]

I’ll do it! Because you said I should 😁

[@bourbonthebiscuit]

Are you trying to sell the new one to us or the wife 🤔😄👍

[@mrs.eliteearthworks]

Both 😂

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Maybe both 🤣

[@leoslandscape24]

Yeah your machine is way smaller lol I'm afraid you gonna go bigger here soon

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Lol it will be next year

[@wadewilson5296]

I'd rather have the yanmar engine, I think.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Those were great engines

[@DC-1]

Ok, so the 250 goes up a few inches higher.....well we know a few more inches makes a all the difference. The TL12 is a nice machine but she has a wider rear end with a bigger back door 😂😂😂

[@mrs.eliteearthworks]

😂 let’s not forget that the 250 has also been a very reliable (faithful) hoe. Shouldn’t go replacing it with a flashy younger, oops I mean NEWER, model 😉

@@mrs.eliteearthworks thats right!!! 😆

[@tricksfixx8303]

I disagree,,if ya swap the old for 2,,half its age,,your further ahead

[@mrs.eliteearthworks]

@@tricksfixx8303 I find the younger models spend your money faster while the older ones help make it 😉

You must listen to too much Alan Jackson. There's only one 'H" in Takeuchi

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Maybe so 🤣

[@StefanBacon]

Wow, the least wrong pronunciation of Takeuchi I've heard this week. Can no one read?

[@eliteearthworksllc]

I may have read that wrong lol I’m sure im not saying it right but I think it’s close lol

[@cd1168]

Better off with the yanmar engine.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

They both are kubota engines mines got 9400 hours on it right now with no major problems. The yanmars were good but they stopped putting them in the loaders when the 250 came out in 2011
