Just a suggestion, turn down the music or just get rid of it. I couldn’t hear you sometimes. Looks nice. I just wish more manufacturers made the kubota/takeuchi style door so it’s easy to run open

[@diggindeeperPCG]

I will take your feedback into consideration. The reason most companies don't use roll-up doors is due to cab pressurization. The roll up doors do not hold pressurization after a few hundred hours in most cases. Yanmar does give the option for both worlds with this machine. Which is why I like the design. Thank you for watcing.

Roll-up doors are inferior due to long term cabin pressure. The roll-up doors co not do well over the long term. Although, I do agree it is nice to operate with the door up, this machine gives you both options.

@@Grggeorge That is in fact an interesting question and is technical in nature. This machine, is hopefully just what we needed, due to the fact most machines are too butt heavy for the steep grades we work on.

I think it is fair to say, more than 1 machine might be needed depending on application...unfortunetly.

I don't have any specifics, but I can tell you a few things. Yamar invented the mini-excavator, John Deere and others are putting Yanmar powerplants in everything that is in their compact categories (mini ex, skids, loaders, etc). They have proven their worthiness to the point other companies have said "screw it" lets just pur Yanmar in our machines. Even if you go with a different company, it has a good chance of being a Yanmar engine. My Yanmar mini ex has had no issues and runs very strong at 1K hours. Hope that helps.
