Skid Scouting

[@truckdispatcher8326]

With all that rust it could have been used at a fertilizer plant for loading the mixer!

[@HowFarmsWork]

Salesman said it was at a Co-op in town, it did see some fertilizer

[@BulletproofSprunk]

"Some" ya that's what they all say. Any is too much, stuff gets in every orifice you can imagine

[@BarnyardEngineering]

@@HowFarmsWork I think it saw ALL the fertilizer...

[@sdfarmer5842]

I would lift the cab on it and check all the fittings. I’ve had to deal with stuff like that and it is not fun.

[@kevinwillis9126]

Your money your decision at the end of the day.. Great vid Ryan thanks for sharing..

[@jakeoht791]

The rust can be from salt,fertilizer or some other corrosive material. And which case if any of it gets in the electronics your machine can go bezerks. I recommend a Kubota.

[@Lordwilliams1990]

JCB skidsteers are very good machines, my uncle runs a road repair company and runs two of them. Jcb parts can be pricey on par with john deere but are very reliable, jcb's have been around for a long time and with that you get experience.

[@benjaminbauer4883]

Joesph Williams I’m from Australia we have a loadall telihander and it very reliable but parts are expensive! But the dealer is also very good!

[@jordanderganz7908]

We used that New Holland t8.410 smart trax on a 24 row planter and 1000 bushel grain cart! What a coincidence seeing it again in your video.👍🏼

[@adamderschan4147]

Jcbs are really handy with side exit and are solid and easy to work on for a skidsteer

[@farming4g]

When I worked with Roeder Bros for buying a 7616 tractor, they were easy and good to work with... during and even well after the sale. Even for being 600 miles away from where I live, I would buy another machine from them! Good luck on your shopping adventures! Maybe keep an eye on a front end loader tractor... skidsteer or not, you'll have to try to knock down the price or throw in some parts and such.

[@AgricultureINDIA-91]

Wonderful video Rian!!!!

[@HowFarmsWork]

Thanks!

[@ericjohnson9119]

if memory serves right it is the same radio we have in our skid loader the top and bottom buttons are the volum you needed to hold it down

[@clinthochrein888]

Excellent video! The baby bobcat looks like a Ertl toy next to the other Bobcats.

[@bluefleet1655]

The s70 looks like it will very much give you a nice turning circle

[@cadensullins9302]

I bet you its stronger than all the rest 🙄😂

[@AndrooH]

I've driven the JCB one-boom machines, they are amazing! Well worth considering

[@steveholton4130]

As casual observer, I would be concerned about weight balance - Worried about side roll-over. Are they counter-weighted on the non-arm side? If so, then they seem pretty cool!

[@AndrooH]

@@steveholton4130 That was my concern, but the weight still sits middle-centre with a properly loaded bucket or forks, same as it does for a two-arm machine. Load one side of bucket and the machine leans to that side, same as any bobcat. So no counter-weight needed, just great design keeps it steady and stable. I just wish I could afford one for myself! :)

[@koolman2021]

Nice video thanks for taken us along for the ride have a great weekend

[@terrellfarms1]

It either was used at a fertilizer plant or at at road salt depot. I worked at a fertilizer mixing plant and our skid loader was five years old and it barely had more rust than that one has. They must not have washed it much.

[@timdenowh95]

On used machines if used in construction anything over 2500 hrs is worn out. Tip the cab up and look for leaks and make sure the ac works especially bobcat. Ran T770 that all kinds of problems started at 2500 hours. Nice machine to run but didnt do much more than a T300. If there is anyway to swing it you would absolutely love tracks in the feedlot. Have great fun shopping.

[@danonotinthelionsden]

Same here..after 2200-2500 hours it had to have a major overhaul on the hydraulic system, but other than that and buying new tracks, it performed well

[@kaceesavage]

That JCB is sweet.

[@Inspirationalai1]

Negotiate even on low prices. That loader may have been parked in a pond. Also get maintenance records if you can. That was probably used for winter plowing

[@runwillrobinson]

Yep, I thought I saw a waterline in one place. Too young to be that rusty.

[@llanman81]

Test drive that JCB, the telescoping boom seems like a really nice feature

[@farmingguy5861]

JCB is quality but quality costs more looking at machines Ryan is looking for it seems money comes before quality otherwise JCB should be his first choice

[@dvanstraalen]

Farming Guy JCB, quality? Ha...

[@Northern_Farmer]

My s650 has the kubota engine and no fancy electronic gaugues in it.... its also only a single speed. Your Bobcat prices there in the states are sure a lot cheaper than here.

[@michaelmactavish1728]

im looking at the kubota ssv's and svl wich ssv 65 has a with $2,000 instant rebate and ssv 75 with $2,300 cash instant rebate plus extra $1,050 discount and SVL65-2 instant cash rebate of $2,200 and SVL 75 $2,700 instant cash rebate and svl95 has $3,000 cash instant rebate plus extra $1,050 discounts wich pretty good money saving

[@dirtshower250]

We just got a JCB 3CX 15 super (backhoe) and we have had a couple problems with it but they came out and fixed it right away it is a brand new unit.

[@leol1682]

Ryan take your time man .

[@Dirtlife98]

If you can, try to get a kubota demo unit. That'll give you a good idea of what they can do. They're beasts!

[@BillAndersonNS]

You mentioned two things to watch out for: 1. rusted "hoses" 2. Lots of hours in a short amount of time The S650 you were looking at had both of these issues. So you should walk on by. Right?

[@theresemaylone642]

Thanks for the Oreillys plug I’m a asst mgr at one in Hudson New Hampshire

[@michaelc9128]

Lol , I'm a route driver at DC 26

[@eddeetz493]

Good luck on your search. It will sure be a workhorse when you find it.

[@tylermaiers973]

I personally recommend Lano Equipment and Farm-rite in Minnesota. Have rented and used dozens of skids from both places.

[@matthewroth2257]

Jcb is so much easier to get into and no other brand comes close to visibility of it. We love it !!

[@indianafarmer1762]

Love our s570. It seems to handle more then it's rating for the smaller frame machine

[@Ff_-qb8xd]

0:17 love the sound of that duramax

[@colinratcliffe2454]

From watching other utube channels buy Japanese skid steers is the best way to go,due to the fact that they tougher and don’t break down as much.

[@robertduffy5302]

Hi what dose jcb go for ? And service & parts cost . The J. D. was nice , the price can be dickered .

[@bhard_man]

JCB is noticeably easier to be in getting in and out multiple times a day and has a really spacious cab, once you run one for a while the visibility is noticeably better. The one I used to run has 8000 hours and counting and it was on a paving crew.

[@mikeclark1733]

just picked up a 2013 t590 with 945hrs for $25,000,deals are out there.and bonus to this machine,i put almost half the hrs on it as i rentd it a bunch and it was being upgraded.

[@EliteMidNite]

I’d say it was used to move fertilizer

[@druffner3074]

You keep repeating the list price, negotiation is a must!

[@michaelmactavish1728]

my dealer has a svl75-2 a 75.2hp with bucket and forks $48,000 brand new 0% 84 months oac

[@mrdodge959]

I've worked on a few different kinds of skids loaders and I'd say Gehl is probably the best I've been around. Easier to work on most of there models but certain ones have there flaws too. I'm not a huge fan of the Deere's and Bobcats but a lot of people like to run Bobcat. Whatever has the best parts availability and places to work on them is a good way to go.

[@jasperkraft1274]

I just like all the Massey Ferguson stuff in that yard

[@larrymeyers6913]

Just asking but Wouldn't a tractor with a loader be better to keep on your farm instead of going to other farm to get one? For 30,000 you should he able to find a nice deere with a loader.

[@loganrosselit]

Ryan you gotta get a center cap for the passenger back hub on your truck

[@ForeverScapes]

Looks like a snow machine. With the machines I’ve ran that’s where all the rust forms with winter work. Stay away from snow machines. There’s a reason most people lease them just for winter

[@hudsonjamesc]

What kind of dashmount are you using?

[@sdfarmer5842]

You’ll like the kubota for it’s elbow room in the cab. But not much else

[@edwardnelson9807]

Never had an opinion on jcb until a buddy got a 5 ton mini excavator and a skidsteer. Sorry cant remember model numbers. But this kid is not easy on equipment at all! His excavator outlasted a cat he owned as well. And his skidsteer is still running strong

[@leestadnyk5573]

I would think it was moving fertilizer and the rust will only get worse

[@52komatsu]

Ryan, see if you can find a kubota SSV65 or SSV75. You'll like the way the front windows go up over head and not swing out. You'll find that you will have alot of electrical problems with the Bobcat and JCB.

Wish you would test drive A tell-handler , see how you can steer either end, crab walk & the shortness of turning, plus the reach. Driven both, you be surprised . Talk em into letting you get a weeks or 20 hours of run time in one at your farm.

See is you can get a Kubota. They make the best skid steers. Best door design, highest speed, and most comfortable cab.

[@victhegamer2004]

An informed buyer is a smart buyer. You will find what you need, I think, but it might not be exactly what you were expecting. It seems that an equipment purchase is much more of a marathon than a sprint, and that's okay. Thanks for taking us all along.

@How Farms Work were all of the bobcats equipped with the tier 4 dpf?

No, we have a 2014 bobcat E32 mini-ex that's a tier 4 and no DPF

[@Js86559]

If it is below 75hp it falls into a different emission category so they don't need DEF.

[@moisespineda1789]

Is your truck a diesel engine?

[@neilramseyer5348]

Its your money and your choice. But I wouldnt touch the one s650 with higher hours with rust on the hydraulic lines that bad. Fyi I paid 29k for my cat 242b3 in 2013. And that included 0% for 4 years which fit me nicely. Yes smaller cab than bobcat and john deere and no radio but it works good on our farm as we arent in it for more than an hour a day. We use it to compost pigs which is pretty acidic and its holding up well. No problems on machine except flat tires

[@HowFarmsWork]

If I could get 0% interest I’d jump on something in a heartbeat

[@shyfarmboya]

Had a thought. Why don’t you buy the one off the farm and the farm gets the newer bigger skid steer. Good luck in your search.

Probably seen it already and way out of your price range, but it's a good watch seeing them in action, nevertheless. Best of luck in your hunt.

JCB are good machines not sure about their skid steers haven't seen many of them but their shovels, teleporters and diggers good machines. In Ireland and the UK 80 percent of the silage videos you'll see will have a JCB on the silage clamp pushing grass and they get a lot of hard work. To be fair they are starting to loose ground to Volvo on the clamp in recent years.
