I bought a Cheap Knock-Off loader for plowing snow! *(but it'd be great for farm work)

I didn't want to spend an arm and a Leg on a wheel loader just to wreck it snowplowing. Then I heard Volvo has a brand called the SDLG. I've been in the Volvo factory and I know there quality. So when I heard the SDLG was part of the Volvo family- I jumped on it.

All his equipment was not maintained properly and i was put on a new contract that was one of the larger ive ever done in an old bucket truck with a hydrologic bottle for the controller and it only went to the left. I have never truly noticed the difference of good and bad equipment and when i started for the new guy i plow for our jobs are getting done faster, more confidence taking on larger accounts and less time not pushin snow due to breakdowns. Just thought id say thanks for all the videos. It does help. I am only 22 but ive pushed snow since i could reach a clutch and in and on just about anything with tracks and wheels. Nice machine and great investment i might tell my boss about one

Their snow lease program is where it's at. It actually cost us less to have the machine for the year than to rent a skid for 5 months during the winter. We decided to try one of the exact same machines last year, this year we got two more with the 2 yard snow buckets and will probably get another one or two next year. What made us try them is the cost. We couldn't see spending twice the money on the premium brand loader that will only be used to push snow,load mulch and rack up only 200-300 hours a year. I can run two of these machines with metal Pless plow maxx 10-16 for the same price as a 3 yard loader with a 16 foot standard pusher. Me and the other operators love them, they may not have the bells and whistles like a premium loader but what do you need other than the camera which stays on at all times a plus, radio and heat, They push snow just as well as my cat 420e backhoe. Only things that we would add would be faster road speed so we could drive them from site to site more often they top out at 15mph and a little more hp (74 hp so you don't need def) for our long pushes when we get heavy wet snow. We couldn't not be happier with our machines so far and our local Volvo dealer has been great.

Not bad mechanically, have 2000 hrs on both machines only issue so far is that the brake pads wear out quick, and fall out of the machine when they are gone, causing a hydraulic oil leak. great if you aren't going to use everyday, as the comfort off the more expensive machine is noticeable, but great to get the job done plowing.

I love watching you guys plow circles lol hahaha

[@TeethRider]

I love how surprised you are when he says stuff about the machine as if you didn't read EVERY LITTLE THING about it before you bought it lol. Its great! (edit) Doesn't the guy with the slick hair look like a smaller John Travolta to you too?

[@lawnbustersllc3910]

Stanley you should get a MOOSE PLOW they work awesomely when there is like 5 inches or less or a foot it works well. If there is freezing rain it still plows well

That's just a knock off of my Swinger 200 that I've had for 25 years except mine is hydrostatic and shuttles real fast. 2200 lb payload and a snow bucket twice that size. It was used for years in Worcester MA for snow removal. I use it for just about everything from snow to logging. Hauls a darn big log. Ok that one is bigger and shinier. Sweet machine bud👍😎👌

Let’s see an update on this to see if it’s really that good!

[@lakestatebullies7391]

You need to add a transmission cut off switch. When brake is pressed puts trans in neutral sending power to bucket. The switches are adjustable for how hard you have to press brake before it goes into neutral. You can also have a switch to turn on or off the cut off.

[@CarsonSchifsky]

Hey that thing actually sounds like a diesel! i like that, call me old fashioned but i love listening to the engine noise! How loud is it in the cab?

[@michaeltechroom]

i remember you trying out a wheel loader on the channel

[@derekbader130]

They are a deutz diesel engine. It's not too noisy in the cab either. I believe most volvo dealers would sell and repair these loaders if your ever looking for a cheap loader....

[@Foche_T._Schitt]

Rock Salt (Sodium Chloride) has been mostly replaced by Magnesium Chloride and Calcium Chloride. Both of which are much more aggressive on steel and draw moisture from the air. Hosing your equipment/vehicles down every spring is a must. You can spray lanolin or bar&chain oil on the area's susceptible to rust to help protect it.

Finally someone agrees with me, I had a 100 HP Cummins loader from China for $25,000 CDN dollars 3 years ago. It was cheap but a great value, built cheap, but it had a Cummins! 100HP! My $40,000 Kubota just had a wiper motor replaced and the connector bracket on bucket lever broke, 2 years old. I don't see why pay $40,000 more for a nice cap. service parts I always have to wait regardless its its green, orange or red. Pro Tip: Drill holes in bottom of battery box so that water doesn't get in and freeze or soak battery!!!!! I'll post a video of it soon.

[@robert5]

Time will tell. Looking forward to the one, two and three yr reviews and maybe the 5 yr review. Does it still run, did the dealer fix it when it broke, if it did? could you get the parts you needed when you needed them? Don't matter how cheap it is/was if it conks out when the snow is flying and customers are calling?

[@Dirtmonkey]

Thanks Robert, I appreciate you watching!

[@jonahtrout7315]

Any update?

[@919hammer]

Oh gawd, it doesn’t have a heated seat, no Bluetooth hookup to the digital screen, however will it push snow or move dirt. Always apply the kiss principal. I’ll be willing to bet at a 1000 hours the ride control computer doesn’t go out of it, the particulates filter doesn’t need changed, or the ecm in not throwing error codes due to a faulty ground or moisture in the harness. There is a difference in paychecks I like to sign the back and not the front! I cannot fault your buying decision one bit, keep on rolling Stanley!

[@ericouellette5293]

Cool little loader. We have the same komatsu loader at work. The boss got it to load trucks with. It has a roll off bucket so we can load our 13'6 trailers. We also have a old international loader. Got a bar next to the drivers seat that shut off the hydraulics to the bucket. Never thought of going down the road and using it but now I will be doing that. Don't go down the road often but would suck to hit the control and have the bucket go down.

[@zrspees]

Did anyone notice the truck that hauled it in was a TITAN???? These are incredibly rare... He's going to be disappointed just like the company that purchased the MP10 powered MACK...

[@guyod1]

Only Stan would make a video how he is ripping off his clients.

[@fraidykat]

It's not a ripoff to charge what is costs to remove it. If he can remove it faster, then he should charge a higher rate for his efficiency.

[@guyod1]

@@fraidykat he is charging some customers by the hour. Skid steer gets one price front end loader gets about double an hour. He bought a mini front end loader that is only marginally more capable than skid steer. No where near as fast or can move as much snow as full sized. If he feels his guys are faster than competitors then he should negotiate the hourly rate.

[@fraidykat]

@@guyod1 It's not marginally more capable than a skid steerloader, though...it has the capability of the larger machine with a smaller more maneuverable footprint and a much lower purchasing cost than the larger machines. He'll be quicker than he was with the skid loaders and at a lower cost than with the larger loaders...sounds like a win to me.

Now make a triple size bucket on it since snow is never as heavy as the dirt and stone it could be moving.

How much do you bill out for a skidsteer? How much for the loader? Does this loader do as much work as the big one? Seems like there might be a potential for the customer to be getting a raw deal if this wouldn't be able to work as efficiently?
