Giving a brief overview of our Mecalac 8MCR

There’s a lot to go over on this machine so I tried to move a little too fast so the camera work wasn’t any better than when my 7&8 year old was running it😊

Awesome machine, congrats.

Great review. Really suprised that Cat and Deere don't have a skid/mini X combo. They are missing the boat

[@benjijestice]

Thank you! I agree, it’s such a great machine, the more I use it the more I like it:)

[@hectormunoz4210]

What kind of cover/shed you got built to protect the Mecalac? Im getting my 6MCR next month. But I want a temp Shed/cover for it.

ShelterLogic® RoundTop® 13 x 20 x 10 Gray Fabric Instant Carport Shelter at Menards www.menards.com/main/p-1444441924568.htm Just a tarp building is what I have. It needs a heated building in the winter, once it’s warm it works fine in the cold but it doesn’t warm up very fast.

Thank you very much.

Do you have a sense about the lift capacity of this vs regular 8 tonne excavators like a Kubota KX080?

[@benjijestice]

Biggest mini I’ve run was a 6 ton I’m gonna say the 80 would out preform in capacity because it’s booms lighter but overall I would take my machine because of the track speed and versatility of the boom.

Very detailed information How are you enjoying the MCR8?

[@benjijestice]

Enjoying it very much!! Replaced my 95-2 Kubota skid loader EC55B pro Volvo mini excavator and it more than fills their shoes. I can’t imagine going back.

@@benjijestice I was debating switching over to a mecalac but i went with a tilt rotator instead since i am trying to stay at 4 ton, for a bigger machine i will certainly get a mecalac though.
