I can definitely tell that this excavator has got a little bit more power to it. It is actually a little higher pitch than your other one. It seems like a nice excavator. I still got to work on finding me a new RC one because the one that I showed in the video in January lost all four of it’s hydraulic hoses and I don’t think I can get it fixed.

[@natewarner392]

Very nice machine. Once you own machine with a hydraulic coupler you will never go back to a mechanical. It is hard to tell for sure but it doesn't look like there is any hose guard on your 2 coupler hoses that run from the block to the coupler. If there isn't I would recommend getting some on those asap.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Nate Warner yes I love the hydraulic coupler it’s so nice. That’s a great idea on the hose guard, I’m surprised it doesn’t have anything on them. Do I need the metal hose guards. Thanks again

[@natewarner392]

Elite Earthworks LLC I would just use nylon hose guard on those. On my machine they seem to rub against the cylinder rod and bucket linkage as the rod becomes fully retracted with the bucket in the dump position. They don't rub anything very hard but over time it can become an issue.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Nate Warner gotcha thank you I will do that

[@jayphillips4058]

Congrats on the 260, and you stumbled on a Great Truth; when a guy spends a lot of time on older, looser, semi-worn out equipment, getting into a new, tight machine makes the whole day a breeze. My '99 KX161 is fairly tight for it's age, but when I jumped into a new Gehl Z80 and JD160G last year to help friends out, my work looked above my actual skill level. Cutting/leveling grade and a level trench was a lot easier, more fine control, of course ergos and cab vis better. Finger actuated thumb control made brush clearing and moving objects so much easier/quicker than my foot control. At the end of the day, tho, my Kubota is still getting the job done and best of all, paid for, Tier 2 and I can work on the thing when I'm out in the sticks.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Jay Phillips thank you! Yes it’s definitely a night and day difference. Does take a lot less movement in the new one. Yeah I’m going to miss my tier 3 for sure. Thanks again man

Iwan Deegenaars thank you!

[@harrisfarms5753]

What is your opinion on case? I am on the fence between takeuchi or case/new Holland for a new skid.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Harris Farms case makes great machines. I had an 1840 before I got the tl250. It was a great machine never did anything to it

[@clydeacor1911]

Congratulations Brandon! I'm sure it's been frustrating waiting so long but now it's like a kid in a candy store! Since Case is the dealer for the coochies did you ever look into the new Case 60? I've seen a lot of their commercials and they look like a very innovative machine and has a very good warranty compared to many name brand machines.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Clyde Acor thank you! Yes it has but I’m glad it’s here now. The Cases are nice too and I think they offer a 3 year warranty too. I just like my machines to match 🙄🤣

[@clydeacor1911]

That's awesome that you get a 3 year warranty. Ya I've heard that Case had the 3 year 3,000 hour warranty too, I think most of the others only had like a 2,000 hour warranty the last time I checked. It's crazy that construction equipment only has a 2 to 3 thousand hour or 2 to 3 year warranty but farm tractors that get their guts worked out pulling heavy implements their whole life get a 5 year 5,000 hour warranty. And matching equipment does look nice. Isn't it about time to trade your little loader in now?? ;-)

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Clyde Acor yeah that’s what they have. And I agree it seems like it should be up there with the ag stuff. Lol maybe next year on the loader we will see

[@bruceblais7958]

Good for you, nice machine 👌, you'll have to train it now to do your flip ha ha enjoy and more videos now cool, Peace

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Bruce Blais thank you! I appreciate that! Lol I’m working on it 👍🏻

[@teelsexcavating]

Right on buddy now you just need a Tilt installed and your set

[@eliteearthworksllc]

John Teel thank you! Yes that is one attachment I would like to get! Thanks again

[@pearcefarmtiling8354]

I can"t tell how big it is, how much doe"s it weigh?

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Alan Pearce 13,500lb it’s just a bit bigger than my old one

[@pearcefarmtiling8354]

I can't keep track of all the no. on these machines. One of the diggers we have is a case cx 55 b , I think the 55 is metric weight. But weighs just over 12000 lbs.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Alan Pearce yeah I’m not really sure how they work the numbers anymore

[@garycrumrine9538]

I am looking to drop the hammer on one of these come spring. I realize you are just picking it up, but what drove you to this machine? Having compared this to all the others in this class, and it seems to be the top of the line in the class. I am really interested in service programs and parts. availability. Just picking your brain.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Gary Crumrine awesome you’ll love it! Yes I’ve ran bobcat, cat, case, John Deere a d Kubota but none of them compared to the Takeuchi’s in my opinion. The Takeuchi’s have the largest cabs both loaders and excavators. They seem to have the smoothest controls and are very well balanced machines. Also have the best visibility. Our case dealer in town was Takeuchi dealer but lost them at the end of the year. Now I have to drive about 45 mins away but it’s not bad. I’ve had great luck with them. My loader has 7500hours and still going strong. Only had a few minor repairs, battery, water pump and I just changed the pilot pump cause it was starting to make noise. I’ve very happy with my purchase and will always run Takeuchi

[@VideosByAl]

Sense the new TB260 is smoother and quicker, you should be able the charge 25$ per hour more.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

VideosByAl I like the way you think! I am going to charge a little more per hour. Thanks again
