I'm SENDING BACK the Mini Skid Steer!!

[@DudeRanchDIY]

I'd like to thank today's video sponsor Cloud Store! Check them out at cloudstore.co/ for ALL your used equipment needs!

[@WoodysRTBFirewood]

Well, Jake, I find it hard to believe that you climbed under that machine without putting any rounds underneath the tracks in the event of a hydraulic failure. Need to work smarter not harder, and not put yourself in danger. Happy to see the Canadian manufacturer stand behind his product. Cheers Woody !!!

It sat propped up like that for two days prior to filming this video to drain all of the fluid out of the belly pan.

[@laoislumberjack8232]

Good to see you made it.. Never get under a machine without safety measures.. Especially given the hydraulic issues.. A wise man once told me never put your head somewhere that you would not put your 'wood' just saying...

Bummer you had to send it back, but things happen. I didn't know what to think about these machines at first. Between you and Brock I've been shown they are quite capable. I'm thinking one with the forks and a trencher would get a lot of use at my place.

[@RussWabuda]

those guys at that hydraulic place are tops. i have delt with them in the past and recommend them highly. i hope that your holidays are shaping up well.

[@lyleharkness-rv5vf]

I'm glad you were able to get the mini skid packaged and shipped out. I've worked in warehousing and shipping and the logistics can be daunting. Hope the mini skid won't be gone for a long period of time.

[@DudeRanchDIY]

All in all it wasn’t too bad, more of an oversight if anything.

[@jramsdenbb]

It’s nice that you got some help Jake- you were very fortunate! Glad it all worked out for you.

[@hsvkid]

Youth and safety never go hand in hand.

[@Dorchwoods]

Nice work, and also, i just got myself a Stihl electric power washer and its amazing. It was $400 but has identical power to my honda gas powered one. Highly recommend them

[@Stihlalive044]

Imagine if Baumalight gave you the ok to have that hydraulic repair place do all of the work with new parts they supplied, unless they wanted their mechanics and engineers to examine what went wrong.

[@EverythingElliott]

In Hydraulics We Trust.

[@donalddavis3308]

Assuming it is under warranty I would think Baumalight would arrange palletizing it and picking it up?

[@jasonracette6143]

Jake, all you really need to address the different bolt sizes is an adjustable metric wrench.

[@jrygh8380]

I used ABF almost exclusively when I was in business. Very good company.

[@MTnumber11]

Kubota Scl1000 is great if you need a narrow machine. If you want power get a ditch witch sk3000 or a 1750

[@fricknjeep]

hi there kind of sad good luck . best to all john

[@donmcgimpsey1706]

If in doubt - it's usually 9/16

[@stevebriggs1746]

would have been easier for the hydro guys to fix the machine with parts sent from canada,hindsight is the best lol!!!

[@OneEyeCustoms]

You’re gonna miss that thing!

[@lifeontherez]

You got me in the first bit, not gonna lie 😂

[@jamessanders4310]

I couldn't watch..I was worried about the whole works coming down!

You should try out a bobcat mt100

[@lifeonmttammanyridge2565]

I can’t say I would be comfortable getting under a machine that is supporting itself by the hydraulics when it’s got a hydraulic leak. You have more guts than I do.

[@lifeonmttammanyridge2565]

@ holy crap😳 lol well they use good valves that’s for sure.

[@russellsmith3825]

Are there no authorized warranty shops in the states? C&C equipment has one of these for sale.

[@DudeRanchDIY]

There are, in addition to the repair they are also adding brand new parts they have developed. That is the main reason for sending to back.

[@russellsmith3825]

@DudeRanchDIY hopefully they get it fixed up quickly and permanently, then back into your hands ASAP

[@ChrisTopher-xj3df]

Usually work sites don’t take safety seriously until after someone gets hurt real bad. Let’s see.

[@chrisavila2073]

You should have sent it back 3 weeks ago I have a truck for Eastern made down in Massachusetts to deliver my splitter they could of taken it back

[@dennis4lyfe]

9/16 is equal to 14mm

[@brandynheitkamp5937]

I thought you were going to have that beast for 2 years???

[@DudeRanchDIY]

I will, just sending back for a minor repair and some new upgrades Baumalight has developed over the last year.

[@brandynheitkamp5937]

@@DudeRanchDIY Awesome!! that thing works so darn well I wish I had something like that I would use it so much!

[@hagiwoodworks7759]

All that down time is a shame , at least the manufacturer is backing their product. PS sorry you have to deal with all the safety police on every video, most people don’t understand real life situations needing to get a job done in a timely fashion

[@DudeRanchDIY]

People will always find something to complain about. It just comes with the territory of posting content on KZbin.

[@hankjordan2602]

You have more trust in hydraulic them me I would have put blocking under the tracks.

I see why you are sending it to seller now.

Why didn’t you have industrial hydraulics fix It. 28:25

Wow Jake very unsafe !!!!! Hydraulic failure would have made Sara a widow

@@DudeRanchDIY sorry but still unsafe

[@kevindiesenroth4134]

Hey you've gotta block that machine up better and that when you're doing stuff like that to the bottom of the skid loader are your kids gonna grow up without a dad what do you use jackstands pieces of wood or something but you've gotta secure it better than you had it there or you're gonna look like an Egg McMuffin and your kid ain't gonna have a daddy

[@CourtnRob]

He's a grown man and knows the risks. Did you watch the whole video where he talks about the safety police?

[@DonHiltonSmithbridgeGuam]

Get a real one

[@jimfish9536]

Why in the world would you go under a machine and trust the hydraulics when the hydraulics are messed up? You have a wife and a baby on the way. Never trust hydraulics without blocking. I do a lot of sketch stuff but this is out of my league.

[@jasonracette6143]

That was my very first thought. So dangerous!
