Feels so cool that units I built at my job at John Deere dubuque works in action. Takes about an 8 hour day to build a 333G from start to finish. We build 42 units a day.

[@Chris-hd3yc]

Yeah, makes sense!

[@mikeabresch3827]

My home town

[@paultheisen5290]

Paul from Center Point Iowa, just north of Cedar Rapids, keep up the good work. That will be my next skidloader

[@Uidokfk]

@@paultheisen5290 should get the gold key tour! Once you buy a piece of our equipment they’ll give you an opportunity to come to the factory and have a tour of the whole facility! Also, have lunch and walk the skid steer line and see how things are done step by step

[@Oscarlevy1992]

My 2021 333G has been nothing but junk from 28hrs until now at 1034 hrs, hands down the worst skid steer I’ve ever owned and the resale is horrific….for good reason.

[@rongrose3746]

Talk with Andy Hourigan , Farming, Fixing, and Fabrication in New York State. He has a bunch of skid steers in his dairy operation and will have great info .

[@randybedker1584]

Andy is very on skid steers they run two or three full time and he has found some really bad ones. Definitely get in touch with him..

[@jwhitley101whitleyfarms9]

He also has a variety of operators some good some bad and they tear them up in short order we have ran cat Takeuchi and kubota. We have logged 10k hours on them and the old cat with asv tracks cost a fortune to keep going I will never run them again. The Takeuchi and the kubota are about the same with easy access doors and great stability on cliffs and rocks we run ours on the most demanding terrain some so steep you can barely walk them and they handle it day in and day out it comes down to service and maintenance.

[@jimpolk]

Agreed. And he works on his own.

[@waynejones5239]

I have heard that the 333g are just a beast my friend was really impressed with what they can do they have had case skid steers

[@justinsummers5615]

We have a 324 g on our farm and love it can’t hardly keep the old man out of it we use it mainly for bedding and scraping and it does it pretty well heated seat is also a nice touch

[@teresachase47]

Thank you Brian, I always enjoy and appreciate your videos!

[@BriansFarmingVideos]

Glad you like them!

[@chrisgossman6512]

I heard Mornin first thing, so I am a happy camper. Like 👍 is automatically a given. Happy subscriber 😊!

[@johnduckett243]

We have a 333G purchased new in 2017 from Cazenovia Equipment in CNY. We use it on our small crop farm and for our landscaping business and it has been an excellent machine. We had one slight issue when it was a couple days old, other than that it’s worked flawlessly and will lift almost anything you put in front of it.

[@Swen-wv9oo]

We farm and have a 333g it is a beast! Bucket, grapple, and disc mulcher is its main use. Have a smaller 75hp Takeuchi also.

[@jarrodwemhoff7270]

Ran bobcats, a gehl, and 4 Deere’s on track and wheels and the Deere tracks are by far the best ones I’ve ever ran. I would definitely go with a 333.

[@chevyon37s]

Hop in a CAT. Deere tracks are rough AF compared to Cat.

[@sure572]

​@@chevyon37sexactly

[@BigTader]

Cousin Ben was very impressive in the skid steer looked like he would be rough on equipment. Hopefully the weather will get better soon so your home construction can resume. I really enjoy your videos content

[@MOzarkMike]

I have about 1200 hrs on my 333E with no major complaints. I run a super heavy brush cutter or a power rake most of the time. No DEF, but the DPF can be a pain at times.

[@SirDigger420]

I do concrete for a living as a contractor. Stuff like your House we would pour is and place a kinda reusable Bubble Wrap on top to protect it from the cold, works depending on the thickness of the pour and the choosen Cement, down to 14 F when the Ground isnt frozen rock solid. For Jobs like your Shop.. we would build the side walls, and foundation, so they put up the shop and roof, and would pour the base under the cover of the roof, so we can smooth the concrete to your needs. Btw Brian, if you ever want to pull the dozers in the Shop. The transition should be smooth ebven more with floor heat, and ask the local gravel pitts/Quarrys for some feet of used comveyor belts. and throw it between the tracks and the floor to keep it unscratched.

[@_Ben4810]

I gotta admit, I love the ASV machines...Their undercarriage makes it glide across the ground & for a VERY comfortable day's work for the operator, & is perfect for ag use. & always buy a CTL with a 4-in-1 bucket, which will out perform a 6-in-1 dozer blade any day in the right hands.

[@BriansFarmingVideos]

Yeah not many around here but I’d definitely like to try one

[@joeynagy8657]

If your serious about getting a 6 way blade for a skid steer you should look into the new case dl550 their dozer design is the best on the market in my opinion cause it pushes off the frame and not the loader arms

[@aaronkline9102]

My dad has a 333g john deere I have drove it it is a beast of a skid steer he got it from ag pro in mansfield oh used to be shear equip

[@landonsmith1621]

Ran most all brand and Takeuchi has been the best overall to me. May not have as smooth a ride as others but quality of machine, size of cab, style of door, and ease of maintenance I’d choose it over any brand

[@FuelMan]

Brian, they make a clam shell 4 inch tee. It comes apart, then it just has 4 twist lock pins. Little more money but less hassle.

[@randybennett5417]

Your Challenger tractor really impresses me.

[@randywilliams787]

Another KZbinr had two different 333g they both needed new motors with less than two hundred hrs on them. John Deere did put new motors in them but I would be worried about them for long haul.

[@kentsmith4863]

I got a 6 way with my 333g and it is very difficult for me to use without washboarding the shit outa stuff. I'm probably just not goo with it but imo it's a difficult implement to use on one of these compact loaders.

[@arthurok327]

Howdy Brian, I hope your doing well, My favorite skidsteer will always be Cat hands down, than JD, but one skidsteer I would Never own, is Kubota, unless your willing to change engines everytime you change the oil, than don't buy a Kubota 😂 Stay safe and Farm on ya'll, Peace

[@robo1210]

Two videos above this one in my feed is a video titled “My John Deere skid steer blew up!” 😂😂

[@matthewtaliaferro]

My grandad has a skid steer like that, and he really enjoys driving it

[@RaceMentally]

I’m looking for a skid now. Have no idea what brand is best. Prefer a larger skid but tracks, air tires, etc hard to choose. Mainly want it for cleaning property.

[@ohiofarmlife4020]

Those are the only skid loader to own at the moment, there biggest weak point is the pivot pins for the bucket, they do become sloppy over time. Deere has had this issue for awhile and see they have it corrected for the next series!

[@wcooman1694]

If I was in the market, Manitou/Gehl would be a priority. Their track auto-tension system & folding cab door are intriguing. After that, probably Wacker-Neuson & NH/CiH. I'm not crazy about my local deere dealer, so wouldn't even consider them unless they wanted to give me one.

[@davidkimmel4216]

They are all good machines. So are just better than others 😊

[@ral3178]

Cat 259 d3 here. You can’t beat the John Deere’s for power however 3 thousand hrs and it v be eat to death.

[@alburnett1775]

Brian you should talk to Dirt Perfect or Clint from C&C for their knowledge on good skid steers.

[@jeffsmith9328]

Deer skids are pretty reliable Bryan we’re running 6 of them two 333’s two 331’s and two 329’s there weak spot is there bucket pins on the bottom of the arms. And hopefully you have a better relationship with ur Murphy dealer ours completely sucks

[@billsrq1788]

Evening, still 80° . Sorry bout the rain send down here please. Hello from Siesta Key Florida

[@jeffreyfightingillini]

Would love to see you demo a bobcat next to a Deere skid loader of compatible hp and get your take

[@lawrencelacenski9781]

Just a very interested viewer here, I’ve run a fair number of different wheeled skidsteers and only 10 Minutes in an offbrand track machine but I have watched a lot of KZbin videos on most of the major brands and one brand I think that you shouldn’t overlook is the ASV if you could get a demo machine I would be really curious as to your thoughts.

[@peteparker7396]

One thing about Deere skiddies, they have a lot of hydraulic power and output. Stay away from the botas,,,, that’s my advice. Now, if you want a horse of a skiddy,,, and I know you’re turning your nose up on CAT, but the 289’s and 299’s are super good. I’ve got the 299 with the forestry package, extra hydraulic cooler. It IS a rubber tracked dozer. And by the way? All the new cats and Deere have the codes to start them now. 😂

[@tomswepston2306]

Lookie at that southern Ohio clay. Gets as hard as a rock. Ya'll got some top soil there. Twenty miles north it is the top soil! 😊

[@allproearthworks8550]

ASV makes the best skid steer.

[@davidbatstone1433]

Great video great content. JCB all the way 😊

[@BriansFarmingVideos]

Thanks for watching

[@johnkemp4370]

If you have a good JCB dealer, test drive their extendable boom. And the side door is wonderful

[@ShortyChance-vm9rq]

We have both a Deere 325G skid loader and a cat 289d. We run a big farm operation and everyone hates the Deere over the cat, the controls are jerky, it's less comfortable and the hydros under the cab are louder on the Deere. If you want to do delicate work that cat is without a doubt better but for quick get in and go kinda work the Deere isn't bad . Also worth noting are cat is at least 4 years older than the Deere and has given us next 2 no trouble and it's been run hard .

[@2007dalin]

yeah i don't know of anyone that actually runs a deere on a daily basis for skid steers lmao.. they are kinda trash

[@charlesmcdade9722]

Good show

[@mennoreuten1563]

Looks like a keeper to me, you dont see skidsteers at all overhere in the netherlands, most farmers use minidozers anyways thanks for the video and have a good day greetings from a Dutch dairyfarmer

[@xSCHEF]

Mini-loaders not dozers, thats because they’re superior I hated working with skids!

[@douglasboyle6544]

Good call on waiting a few days on the house work, "Probably coulda got away with it" is not how you want to be doing concrete work when there's weather involved.

[@kkduncanson]

Awesome to see the 331 demo....... Did you figure out the Joystick "sensitivity" (speed at which hydraulics react) on the keypad...... it makes a big difference when trying to ie: feather gravel on a driveway or like when cousin Ben was just pushing, lifting and moving gravel.... finesse vs. aggressive - 3 levels Note: we own a 331G. Every brand has different kwirks..... I prefer the Deere.

[@BriansFarmingVideos]

Yep I used the sensitivity a lot

[@Rok_Piletic]

JCB Teleskid 3 :P ... would be nice to see some test rides on your farm operation

[@dustinrieck312]

When I trade my cat off it will be a jcb because I work alone and want to get out of my machine with the bucket raised up with deere cat and there awesome idea of a swing door and not being able to open it unless its all the way down or all the way up is dumb !!!

[@paultheisen5290]

From what I've seen, a lot of the Construction guys like Deere

[@ericwaters582]

Skid loader preference must be a regional thing? The negative Kubota comments are interesting. I am a supervisor for the largest landscape and grading contractor in the area. We run eight SVL75's and run them hard. We rarely, and I mean almost never, have a mechanical issue with them. I can't remember a single engine issue. On the other hand, we have 12 ASV RT30's. Why so many? Because so many are broke down at any given time. They exist only for confined spaces. I'd guess that Kubota has at least 50% of the market around here, CAT 25% and Bobcat the majority of the remaining. Very few Deere, Case, etc. I can't remember seeing a JCB other than at the machinery show. I ran an SVL75 myself for six years for my previous employer and never had a single issue. Follow prescribed maintenance and work it. One of my buddies bought a very nice CAT because of the cab. It was comfortable and quiet. I ran it for him when he would get behind and enjoyed every minute of it. He traded it for a Kubota 95 because it was at the dealer shop more than on his job sites.

[@grassylakefarm890]

All skidsteers are basically the same. Lift capacity, hp and maneuverability are about the same. What sets them apart is ergonomics, ease of service and ease of getting in and out of the damn things

[@miked123ization]

We’ve got a 2018 333G. I’ve run many different brands and the Deere takes the cake. You won’t regret buying a Deere if that’s what you end up with

[@winkletown8828]

Won't regret it until something breaks you mean

[@miked123ization]

Every machine will break. Having good dealer support is what matters. If they feel they have a good Deere dealership I’d buy a 333 and not look back

It just doesn't look big enough for you. I agree with the guy who recommended you contact Andy Hourigan at Farming, Fixing, and Fabricating. He knows skid steers inside & out.

John Deere can lift that’s about it. Glorified rattle traps and way slower than anything else. Cheaply made also. Only skid I’ve ever bent the front quick attack plate

We’ve had a couple deeres down here across the river from you, but we have better luck with kubota. Mainly just because we like the door better

Coming from a mainly John Deere farm and demoing a Deere skid loader…. That was a big NOPE! Ended up with a Bobcat for a few years and it did well, but now we have a Cat 299d3 and it’s far better than Bobcat, Deere, etc. rides better, handles two bales better, digs great, easier to clean, and QUIETER!

[@codybishop7373]

The john deer definitely has the picking power but over time there not as good of a machine as a cat or kubota. I would definitely recommend trying the jcb just because of the convenience of getting in and out

John Deers are powerful good units....However I work for Kubota, I highly suggest trying one!!! If you buy one get the insurance plan and you can't go wrong.

[@petergardner2334]

what about jcb

[@Muffin_Masher]

Kubota and JCB you can open the door with the bucket at any height ;) Not being able to open the door once it's up is a HUGE design flaw and safety hazard that I am amazed hasn't cost any of the lazy manufacturers millions yet.

[@taterstang]

I have a deere and have zero issues opening the door with the bucket up. Just has to be higher then the door and the door opens easily. Plus if for some reason it would break down with the bucket infront of the door there is a hydraulic release handle that drops the bucket down so u can get out. So not sure why people think the doors are a issue? Not to mention the deere actually seals and doesn't rattle like those Kubota doors in my experience. But like I always say go with the one that has good service in your area unless it's bobcat then run away haha jk

[@winkletown8828]

Nothing smells like a John or runs away like a deer 🤷 I've ran bobcats, Kubota and a new holland, honestly the Kubota was my favorite. But at the end of the day, brand new equipment is brand new equipment. Give it 5, 10, 20 years and let's talk about it again. I loved playing in the dirt and rocks with the old bobcat (old as in 28 years old) it was a super sweet no nonsense machine. Easy to maintain, cheap to operate, it really never had anything major happen to it. To each their own but at the end of the day, I just couldn't allow myself to get anything that has an animal that runs from everything on it 😁.

[@ColtonKleiber-gw5pw]
