I Bought a BRAND NEW SKID LOADER With NO EXPERIENCE! (Bad Idea)

[@BradtheBuilder]

[@NikosPropertyShow]

I just bought a new Bobcat as well!! My first machine purchase and I love it!! T770!!

[@BradtheBuilder]

Have you heard any bad things about the one I bought?

[@MIGHTYX2010]

I like how you're trying to do everything properly however you should talk with you're local DOT. Because I believe on a machine that weighs over 10,000 lb you have to have 4 individual points of contact on the machine and within a fifth contact over the bucket of the machine. Plus you should have got the ratchet binders. Much easier to use and safer. So you would need five ratchet binders and multiple chains ⛓️ however if you set the chains up properly and they are long enough you can get away with using 3 separate chains with five binders. If machine is under ten thousand pounds there's other rules for that. Much less restrictions on securing equipment. Good luck!

[@BradtheBuilder]

I’m going to get a ratchet set for the bobcat but where I have it currently it will stay there 99% of the time on my land… So I will not be towing it very often

Brad is so good on camera well spoken and to the point keeps the viewer engaged

[@BradtheBuilder]

Thank you! I give all the credit to my camera, guy, Brandon, and his terrific editing👍🎺

[@ThriftyGarage]

We also have a T66! Make sure you check the coolant level. Bobcat has a recall on the T66 and they loose coolant randomly. Also, for the lever binder I would highly recommend a Mytee Combination Winch Bar. We use it and it's super easy (better than pipe). We have a few videos on our channel showing how we chain down equipment. You can see it in use there.

[@BradtheBuilder]

That’s concerning… I hope I don’t have issues with mine!

[@deadmuphinz]

I bought a t66 about a year had to top off the coolant every now and then for the first 50-100hrs but now its held steady for over 180hrs when I got mine I found some information somewhere that said it's normal to have to top off the coolant for the break in period.

[@justindalli]

Hey brad one tip that I have when running the machine is to do compound moves (arm up and dump at the same time) productivity goes up. If that machine have eco turn it off and Throttle-up like up up you can set a auto Idle so it will go down to idle after not working for 20 seconds. Don't run it too hard it is not that big of a machine I run a t870. Have fun be safe.

Homeboy is partially right about ethanol additives. Ethanol strips the lubrication properties in diesel fuel. But the bigger issue it’s ability to absorb water. Water is the High pressure fuel systems enemy. If you’re running anything ethanol through a diesel, you’re running water through your HP side of your fuel system. Also, I agree with and highly recommend Schaeffer’s, for additives, and engine oil. I run their engine oil in all my vehicles. And anyone else’s I can convince to purchase it. Breaks the bank, but I’ve torn apart engines various oil vs Schaeffer trucks. Night and day difference.

If anyone gives you flak on the name, your guy might have mentioned it, but it’s considered a CTL or compact track loader. I believe the tire models are where it’s a skid steer.

Are bobcats, just called bobcat, or skid steers?

[@brandonm6052]

@@BradtheBuilder it's like saying Kleenex or Velcro. Bobcat is so synonymous with "skid steers" that many will say go grab the bobcat no matter the brand. Andrew is an example of this as he commonly calls everything a "Mule" when in fact that is only Kawasaki's utility side x side. The machines with tires are skid steers and then like I said a tracked version you will hear called CTL's by industry guys. In essence you bought a bobcat CTL and Andrew bought a Kubota CTL. I'd venture to say if you had both on your site you'd end of hearing go grab the bobcat or kubota to distinguish or if just one was around you'd hear someone say grab the skid steer even though neither have tires to skid as they...steer.

Way to go, Brad! i don't know why the title says "Bad Idea"... I think it looked like you were doing great! I just finished watching Andrew's video moving the animals to the new property. That was so funny how dramatic Ralph was. I think you and your family will enjoy having the animals out there. I have a feeling you'll be getting a critter or two for yourself. A while back Andrew asked his viewers what kind of animals to get that would be good around children... I have all kinds of suggestions, hint, hint! I hope you and your family had a lovely Easter. I wasn't able to make it to our family dinner tonight that my folks were hosting. I had two falls on Saturday and got a bit beat up so I was not up for it. Hopefully I'm healed up in a couple weeks because I've booked a flight to Vancouver Island to go and visit my brother and sister-in-law (and one of two nieces). They've built a new home out there which is waterfront. I think they've been in it for about 4 years now. It's my 'happy place' because the views are spectacular and it's so lovely to open the bedroom window and fall asleep to the sound of the waves. Sorry, I didn't meant to babble on and on AGAIN in this comment. I feel like I'm writing a friend a short letter whenever I comment on your videos! It was great to see Nate in this video. I think we caught a glimpse of Max too. Maybe this Bobcat will be helpful to them as they start their new farming business?! Any word on whether they're interested in their own channel? I mentioned it in a comment on one of Andrew's videos and got a heart, so I am taking that to mean he agrees with me, haha! Take care - I hope you and your lovely wife and family are well.

Before you buy a bunch of attachments, talk to flair. Maybe you can buy ones he doesn't unless you will be ising it all the time. You can probably borrow his forks and bush wacker when you need them unless you're gonna use forks all the time. Then you should just get your own. Maybe get things he doesn't have, like a Jack Hammer, concrete pump or mixer, backhoe, trencher, compactor attachments if he doesn't. It might be something you would use a lot with building. Or if your son is going to do the whole farming thing, you can get one of those hay bailer, tiller orpost hole digger attachments.

BobCat has always had nice looking machines.

[@BradtheBuilder]

I think so too!

[@Matt-yg8ub]

Went name-brand !

[@BradtheBuilder]

Oh, I didn’t realize they were the fancy ones… I thought that was the only way to go? My kids tricked me!

[@alanruechel2240]

Unfortunately, Bobcat isn't as reliable as they were pre-Doosan,wish you the best with it

[@BradtheBuilder]

Really? I did not know that. I hope I made the right decision.

[@alanruechel2240]

@@BradtheBuilder You bought a formidable machine, just make sure you follow the recommended maintenance schedule to a T, so your warranty coverage isn't voided.

[@BradtheBuilder]

@@alanruechel2240 will do👍. Thanks

[@PointlessDrive]

You and flair need to compare skids as he cheaper out. would be interesting to see if worth paying the extra

[@BradtheBuilder]

I like that idea that would be a fun one to do together!

[@Jrado39]

You did good for the first time

[@BradtheBuilder]

Luckily, I didn’t take on too big of a challenge!

Wrap the loose chain around your boomers. So they don't bounce open. Even tie hay wire through the loop at the end of the handle to the chain so it doesn't bounce open driving down the road. Be careful with those boomers. They will easily break bones. Heard stories of them breaking people's jaws and knocking them out cold.

[@BradtheBuilder]

Those things sound very dangerous. I’ll have to get the other ones… Thanks for the info.!

Nate is movie star material😁

🦼love the new power chair

[@BradtheBuilder]

Haha! I never thought of it that way😜

[@charlesd6060]

Wait till Flair sees it. I see skidsteer races in the future.

[@BradtheBuilder]

Me too!

[@sslranch]

New drinking game. How many times can Brad say Bobcat in a Bobcat video about Bobcats. 😂

[@BradtheBuilder]

Haha! Did somebody say bobcat??

[@Timmnm]

Found it hilarious he's had his bobcat for a few hours and already driving around faster than flair lol. Flair always seems to be in turtle mode

[@BradtheBuilder]

I wonder if he thinks he’s saving gas?
