Takeuchi Booth At The Equip Expo 2024

[@blackdogexcavator21]

You've done well for yourself and Takeuchi. I told my salesman 4 or 5 years ago that they should get you to advertise for them. You put more eyes on Takeuchi machines than anyone or anything else I've seen. Good job.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

I appreciate that! It’s definitely a dream come true working with them. Such a cool experience! I appreciate you watching

[@derekderose6392]

Well deserved partnership. You’ve always ran their equipment so it makes sense. Also says a lot about your character with how appreciative and thankful you are about the opportunity. 👍

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thank you! I really appreciate that! It’s easy to talk up their equipment when I have ran it and used it so long. I’m honestly not pushing something I wouldn’t own. I appreciate that! To me it’s a dream come true to work with me.

[@dalepremo3695]

You had us all cheering for you!!! And that big poster with you and your logo on it was the perfect touch. What a bunch of class guys and you sure can be proud - this is well-deserved and they couldn't ask for a more down-to-earth and honest Ambassador. You looked like you were having the time of your life. Congrats and thanks for the personal tour.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thank you! I appreciate that! It’s exciting for sure I had to pinch myself a few times 😁 it was a blast but also a blur lol! I met so many people in those 3 days I can’t wait to do it again. Appreciate you watching

This show was an awesome time. So much to pack into a couple days. Awesome job with the video Brandon, Stay Elite!

[@eliteearthworksllc]

[@johnlocke1018]

Any man or woman that steps out of there “comfort zone” to improve their self, I have much respect for. That’s very uncomfortable when you do that but it definitely can give you big rewards. I didn’t start watching you from the beginning it was just before you went to visit Dirt Perfect. So with all that said, I’ve always enjoyed watching your videos and your ability to put you vision on the ground from the seat of your pants. I believe you’ll improve in the areas you want to and you’ll continue to make great content. Great job with the video and being an awesome brand ambassador. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thank you that means a lot! I’m definitely uncomfortable walking and talking with a camera at those shows but hopefully it will get easier. Talking to people is no big deal for me but trying to film me talking is something different lol! I appreciate the kind words! It was a blast and I’m looking forward to the next one.

Pretty nice equipment my friend. Love the poster board of ya. That would look awesome in my shop lol. Thanks for sharing.

They make great machines! lol yeah it was very cool seeing that!

[@TheHammer24-7]

A freaking billboard at a show that large, bet that would give a guy chills!!!! Hell yeah brother, well deserved! That 12V2 looks MEAN! The part with all the bored ladies on the couch while their guys played in the dirt had me laughing. Congratulations, they picked a great partner!

[@eliteearthworksllc]

It was very cool to see! Blew me away. lol yeah there were several out there watching their husband/boyfriend run them 😁

[@tristardiggin]

[@mikeembrey9176]

Great job on the video 👍🏻🇺🇸

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thank you!

[@FirstNameLastName-lz8ej]

I'm probably somewhere in that timelapse footage. We don't have much of a dealer network in my area so I hadn't run Tak machines before. Ran the 335 at the expo and it was probably my favorite excavator I've used. Real joy to operate so I can see why you choose Takeuchi equipment.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

That’s cool! That 335 is really nice. Takeuchi makes a great machine and definitely fun to run

[@aaronburford5701]

Been waiting patiently for this from my guy from the Expo! Congrats on the experience and exposure for you ambassador! I miss seeing content from you, but this was well worth your time! I sent you an email so when you have time let's catch up sir!

[@EZlawncare19]

I purchased a tl6r after watching your videos, never considered the brand. But in my opinion the best operating machines out there. Everytime I wish I would have went with a tl8 or bigger, I find myself on jobs those machines would be too big for. Small but mighty machine for sure.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

That’s really cool! The 6 is a little tank I was impressed when I ran it.

[@JTilesEverything]

Run into any real world limitations with its lifting ability?

[@EZlawncare19]

@@JTilesEverything I am a mason by trade and every machine has its limitations but for the size of this machine it impresses me every time I lift a cube of block. Don’t get me wrong it’s a bit tippy but it’s got enough ass to move them. Cube of block is anywhere from 2500-3000 lbs depending on size of block. I would by this machine again in a heartbeat.

[@JTilesEverything]

@@EZlawncare19 thanks for the reply. I’m shopping for a machine to do all the site work on my property. Fits under a 7’ door and in general is as physically small as possible. So I’m not always obligated to haul it with my huge equipment trailer as I can safely put about 8800 in my dump trailer so by that I’m limited to the smaller 65hl machines. The Deere 317G has the most lift ability by a mile but man it’s expensive. The Kubota 65 is great except for the washer bottle that spills washer fluid all over the interior and their A/C is terrible. So I’m looking at the little 6R but need something that can occasionally handle 2500ish pound 4’ pallets from time to time. Sounds like we have about the same needs and this little guy would get it done. The Tak 6R has more HP than traction from what I’ve seen so no real disadvantages in staying smaller. Smaller and lighter is easier to haul around and easier on my truck. So win/win. Did you get a cab machine or open? Wondering how good the A/C is. It’ll be important due to the size of my property in relation to this particular machine.

[@EZlawncare19]

@@JTilesEverything have a an machine heat and ac work just as good as my pickup. The 317g is a great machine for its size but for the price of the tl6 I’m extremely happy with the machine. I have run a Deere and personal preference I would run the tak all day over the deer. The true pilot controls is what does it for me.

Very cool video 👍🏻 9:32 love the sound 12:11 love the track wood chippers never seen that before sucks that you’re camera stop on the last excavator but I learned a lot 21:25 love the rocks in the bucket on the counter Kind of sad I missed it love how the guy at end got in and out of the machine love the tracked dump truck at the end looks like the one you had the song at the end kind of makes me feel emotions but in a good way I love it it’s my favorite I feel like some times songs get me in my feelings 😂 and I love how you put the whole song this time 😂

Is there anything new for 2025 TL12s? Can you remove/install the rooftop cooler seasonally? I wonder how much of a pain that would be. I'm defiantly debating adding that to my order next year

Not much has changed on them until they come out with the series 3 loaders next year. I’m not sure if it can be quickly changed or not that.

Most excellent! I bet you had a blast. Turning loose on the finest toys known to man… or would that be ‘Big Boys’? I can see the use for electric equipment… but, I can’t see building a business around a whole fleet of them. The word he used was ‘niche’… I think that’s the way I see them making a fellow money. I’m glad you have this opportunity… congratulations. OS: are they sending you one of those posters to put in your office?

[@eliteearthworksllc]

It was a great time! Cool seeing all the equipment in one place. I agree on the electric stuff definitely a small niche market. They better hang one if those posters up lol
