Skid Steer Smackdown Hill Climb

[@christopherbaird4952]

The problem is that they tip back. The JD with a higher and further forward center of gravity can decelerate at the top of the hill, and "throw" himself over the top. The others actually would work better in the real world, but they lose this test that is rigged to benefit the objectively worse machine.

[@rickyp3218]

there,s another video going around from 1997 that,s rigged for newholland

[@RJ1999x]

[@fddon4166]

in a real world contingency, should the machines with normal weight distribution (rear heavy when unloaded) need to climb that steep of a hill, they could still make it, in reverse.

[@mrpeep5493]

Our skid steers at work pop wheelies coming up on our pintle trailers all the time, you just keep the throttle down and drag the ass end on the ramps all the way up. That operator looks like he could have done the same thing to get up the hill. The dirt looks compact enough to accomplish but instead he kept letting of way to early

[@gregrupar135]

You can clearly see the drivers are on two different skill levels. The Deere driver was moving his bucket to counter the weight. The others until the new holland just kept it in on position

[@paulvandenboom835]

More weight in the ass end of a loader means it can lift more. i know for a fact new bobcats can out lift john deeres in the same class.

[@ButchE30M3S14]

All 'competitors' of the john deere are heavier at the back (counterweight) When driving a load thats a huge advantage. Not to mention it is prohibited (safety wise) to go uphill forward with a skidsteer with no load in the bucket. No john deere for me. Greetings, a heavy machinery safety instructor.

Cat is hands down the best..but wacker neuson is a close second. Bobcat only last a while because they don't have enough power to destroy themselves.

[@gorillahumpr]

if anyone thinks this is real read up. the driver slows down slightly at the top to put more weight on the front as it peaks over the hill. it's all operator. John deere skids do nothing better than any others

[@Scottypowpow]

This is so stupid, the Deere lowered his bucket at the top so he did flip backwards, the others didn't so they did, then the holland notices and did it the second try when he went up and it worked, the Deere was just a better driver who's not stupid and balanced the weight better..

[@JoelWebster-e5u]

It's like when my 6 year old makes up rules for a game to where she always wins. They perfectly engineered "Mt. Skidmore" for the John Deere to win. If you notice, the operator on the John Deere always levels the bucket out at the top to get just enough weight out front. That's how close it is to tipping backwards. When coming back with the "loaded" bucket, the bucket is never full. its loaded to the front to look full but it has plenty of extra room in the back for more dirt. BUT, if it had a full bucket it would tip forward going down the "mountain". Perfectly rigged to not tip either way

[@EnglertRacing96]

02:20 john deere his bucket down, bobcat did not....

[@tommymodified]

Not surprised with its climbing capabilities.. familiar with JD 313 skid in a rental fleet we had 6. The wheelbase is slightly different & weight is shifted more forward. This does help with climbing but driving on hard surfaces especially asphalt the machine tends to jump and bounce in turns if not careful. They were structurally strong machines but often plagued with annoying electric issues. Foot petal lockout solenoids often fail or freeze in cold, starters quit, interior instruments panels went bad, failed safety switches. Some older models had the wiper motor on cab and not the door it was a terrible design would cause the door to open and crush wiper blade. Worst part was JD couldn't supply our company a decent wire schematic for the units & parts are ridiculous expensive markup. Remember one wiper motor was somewhere around $500🙄

[@InLaymansTermsPlease]

Take that same Deere with no add on"s and do the lifting competition... lol

[@kennethrocheleau2296]

I see many of you haven't studied physics. The John Deere isn't necessarily more front heavy. Because if that was the case it would almost have the opposite problem and be prone to tipping forward on downslopes. It's not because its tilting its bucket going over the last rise because the other ones did try that trick too and it didn't work. It's about weight distribution and center of gravity. The John Deere has a wider wheelbase front to back than most of the other, especially the Bobcat. And it has its rear wheel especially set further back. Also where the loader arms attack and where the pistons attach to the frame and arms also makes a big difference. Better weight distribution and lower center of gravity. Makes a ton of difference.

[@webrat91]

The John Deere has foam filled tires and the rest have air filled......this competition was RIGGED !!!!

I think this was less about the machine and more about how the machines were being used.

He would raise the bucket to tip forward and lower it when he was level. Master vs Rookies as it looks to me.
