Don't Get BURNED! How to BUY or RENT The Right Equipment in 2024

Is it better to buy or rent equipment for your farm or homestead? That is the question that we often find ourselves asking. Finding the right equipment for your property is an important process and in order to keep yourself from getting burned, you may want to ask yourself a few very important questions. We recently bought a Kubota SVL Skid loader and in the process of buying this equipment we looked at John Deere, Kioti, ASV, Yanmar and Kubota. In this video, I share the main reasons why we bought a kubota.

It's all about dealer support for me.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Totally agree Donovan. Dealer is key. Thanks for watching!!!

[@gilbertpadilla4496]

You are so on point they did me same same.I'm KUBOTA all the way.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Glad you found a machine that you enjoy! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

Peppermint oil mix with water keeps the mice out

[@OzarkMtnLandowner6653]

Been stuck in a CAT and with no cell signal and had to remove back window to get out. All skid steers should have that style door.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Oh my Lord that is my worst nightmare. I am super claustrophobic and would lose it. Really appreciate you sharing that with the group. You would think the swing out door would have some kind of release. Glad you are safe brother. 👊🏼

[@torypuglisi8681]

Hi Joe , my name is Tory and I’m from the state of New South Wales ,Australia , I’ve been watching you and other American u tubers doing the homestead lifestyle, I have 65 acres and I can’t believe just how similar you Americans and us Australians are , you could be my next door neighbour as we do and think the same about lifestyle , freedom, tractors , and all types of other machinery to use on our farms . I too have brought a Kubota Svl 75 outright about 3years ago and it is a weapon around our farm to get things done, you have a great machine in the 95 series and it won’t disappoint you. Keep up the good work as we in Australia love your videos and content . our farm is a hobby and flower farm ,my daughter Tina has put up some videos of her flower farming journey. The videos are under the name of Woodstock Flower Farm , cheers Tory.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Hi Tori, thanks for taking the time to reach out! It is amazing how YT can remind us how much we all have in common. Sounds like you would be a great neighbor! The SVL 75 was almost the machine I bought, but the 97-2 won out. I'd love to know what projects you use yours for! Thanks for the kind words and I look forward to checking out Tina's channel. Take care and God Bless!

[@torypuglisi8681]

Morning Joe, I was stoked to receive your reply, I have a 1800 mm or a 6 foot slasher / bush hog i think you call them , works fantastic as I can see everything in front of me , in Australia we mostly have 4 in one buckets on all our machines and I do trail clearing and general farm cleaning with it , we also have a Bx tractor that my wife Dawn loves and two excavators a Kubota kx 1.7 ton and a Kobelco 3.3 ton , The Kobelo has done so much general work around our farm I could not be without it. I am a house Builder in our local district , now looking at semi retirement and performing more work on our farm , just so much to do and so much enjoyment for my family and I. God Bless your family as well and looking forward to and the inspiration you provide on your channel. PS I am looking at a TYM 50 hp tractor also , so will be interested in your reviews . Cheers mate Tory.

Ok I know nothing about farm equipment, but I enjoyed listening to you and learning something new. I'm Brenda, a retired crazy lady who watches utubers while crocheting. So I'll keep you around 😂😂. Have a blessed day.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Hi Brenda! You sound like my kind of people. 😁💪🏼. Appreciate you spending some time with me this am.

[@weeweed86]

Joe....I kept a 1972 Corvette in my garage for 10 years and the mice love these old cars so it was important to me to do what ever I could to keep them out. I kept a few of the old time toilet cakes on the floor under the car and I never had a mouse get in the car. I bought them by the case at the grocery store and I did get quite a few odd looks at the check out counter.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

That is a great idea; I’ve also heard bars of soap. But they started eating the soap! 🤣. I will give that a try. Thanks for tip and appreciate you watching!

[@jims3650]

I watch Outdoors with the Morgan's and he has one Joe, and he works the crap out of his. He says he loves it. I think you made a good purchase Sir.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Thanks Jim! I have been watching Mike work his and it just reminds me what it can do. He has a lot more skill thanI do but not afraid to learn. 💪🏼. Appreciate you watching!

[@tjt1992]

Congrats on your new Kubota purchase! I just had a new Kubota SVL 65-2 delivered to my farm last 3 weeks ago! Awesome machine!

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Congratulations! So far it’s been fantastic. The 65 is such a versatile size, you will be really happy with it. Appreciate you watching!

[@mekosmowski]

In my state the DMV has a "covered farm vehicle" registration for trucks and trailers so you can haul your agricultural equipment without a CDL within a certain distance of your farm. Also check out the payload of a 26,000 lb gross weight truck. Maybe you could haul the skid-steer on the truck and use a 10,000 lb trailer for attachments while staying under the CDL limit.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Hey! I think you are right. In Tennessee I believe it's within 100 miles but not positive. Is there a trailer type you prefer?

[@mekosmowski]

@@JoeTheFarmer I've just been researching for years but haven't had the budget for land or equipment yet. I'll wave at you in August though, we're vacationing in Pigeon Forge.

[@boblowe5699]

You’re not wrong about the door. I got stuck in a bobcat for a couple of hours when it stalled and I couldn’t lower the bucket.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Hey Bob! That's terrifying man. One of my biggest fears for sure. Of course, it comes with claustrophobia! I appreciate you watching my friend, and glad you god out! God Bless

[@jameswagner7260]

Great video . And congratulations on the skid steer. The door is a game changer !

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Thanks buddy! It really is the best design imo. I am SUPER claustrophobic so the thought of getting stuck is terrifying. So far loving this new machine!

[@scottbarnwell512]

Congrats! Small nit - Bobcat was the pioneer in the skid steer (ie. wheels), but ASV was the pioneer in track loaders. At work, our crews were running ASV with a heavy duty brush hog about '99 or '00. It really cut their clean up time down as they didn't rut or get stuck last past heavy duty brush hogging equipment. ASV has been through a lot of mergers and acquisitions since then and are now owned by Yanmar (2019).

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Wow; didn’t know that! Yanmar makes great engines and I am sure its a great machine. Just no dealers anywhere close So far happy with the Kubota, time will tell! Thanks for watching. 😁👊🏼

[@SLH_Kevin]

Thanks for talking us through the rationale on the machine. Really want one, but don’t really need one yet. Thanks again.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Thanks for watching Kevin! I had some practice on my talking points; selling my bride was a process. 🤣. Appreciate you brother. 👊🏼

[@nickcooper3412]

You bringeth a balanced report young fella!

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Thank you sir!

[@mileshiles1287]

You're definitely right about property prices here in TN. I couldn't buy my own house now. To bad Kapper couldn't buy here looks like he did good. My brother in-law has bobcats he does it professionally. I go on bids with him surprisingly fun. He rents larger machines depending on the job. Looking forward to seeing you putting it to work.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Thanks Dale! It’s definitely a major investment but so far really an impressive machine. Glad to hear that Massimo is treating you well!

[@mileshiles1287]

@@JoeTheFarmer 👍😊 20k congrats

[@v.m.8472]

First the price of your house goes up to unimaginable levels, next your taxes are raised until you are paying rent for your home. Guess you’re going to find out who really owns that property!

[@tractorrookie]

Very cool machine! Love it! I’m so happy for you guys! 💪👊🚜🇺🇸

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Thanks brother. I appreciate it. Just wondering when you are gonna come visit TN?!?

[@MartyHenderson-ie9sp]

Good morning Joe. Thanks for the video. And um, welcome to the TYM team?

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Thanks Marty! Appreciate you watching. And stay tuned…exciting things ahead. God Bless. 😁👍🏼

[@DavisLG]

Cat made in Sanford NC

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Awesome machines. Just so much more expensive and can't do the door. Thanks for warching!

[@Dadnatron]

Unless you have to do a lot of trailering and/or landscaping in town... a smaller machine isn't going to help you.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Thats great advice. Appreciate it. Thanks for watching!

[@user-vy2js1mq9f]

Morning just joined 🎉 I'll let you how it was at the end 🎉

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Welcome Brenda!

[@alittletexasingeorgia]

The day you realize you made the right decision is when you must replace a part. And I do mean when.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Machines break and parts are important for sure. Thanks for watching!

[@boblowe5699]

Arms family mentioned you

[@JoeTheFarmer]

They are as genuine off camera as they are on camera. Blessed to know them.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

👍

[@vaughnburrows]

Did you look into Takeuchi on your research journey? They actually invented the first compact track loader and are known to be the most reliable.

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Hey Vaughn, thanks for watching. I did briefly consider it but there aren't any dealers close and they are expensive! An EXCELLENT machine, but for us using it on our property, the 112 would be a lot for us. But great point and thanks for bringing that up!

[@JackFrostTheDeerHunter]

can you help me understand what this machine will do that your tractor won't?

[@JoeTheFarmer]

For one tear up the ground! Lol. In all honesty, there is a lot. More consistent loader controls, ground leveling and grading, more heavy duty implements on the front, heavier lift capacity, far more maneuverability, etc. The tractor can do a lot…but this is a totally different tool. Hang with me and we will learn it together!

[@rikkilee9409]

having a heavy machine stops you from dragging it to friends for free jobs

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Now THAT is something that I haven't thought about!!! Great point! Appreciate you watching.

[@houseboatin]

Nice new machine! Care to donate that dirty ol' ventrac to a broke hillside wanna-be farmer? 52 years old and still walking with everything and digging with shovels and a 1 person auger...

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Thanks for watching! And heck no! We love that Ventrac. My wife has commandeered it. Such a handy machine. God Bless. 👊🏼

[@bronco797]

Neighbor down the road has one and I was surprised how well it mows. Looks nice .

[@JoeTheFarmer]

@bronco797 very cool!!! I need to get a mower for mine. Will be fun to take down some tall debris
