Nice job Chris. It is cool to see someone working so smoothly and efficiently. I got good on my little sub compact kubota it is nice being one with a machine

[@Agwings1960]

For many years people used small dozers like a D3 or 450 John Deere to spread sand for concrete pads, will a skid steer track loader do the same thing?

[@victorfriedman3373]

Very good.A real professionl operator !!

[@racing11333]

that wont hurt that tractor at all i have a cat 289c and pushes just like that no problem these skid steers are getting stronger and stronger. i am really impressed with your TL12 looks like its got plenty of power.

[@canvids1]

who ever you have operating that machine he could get a job anywhere!! He is magic on the controls of that fantastic machine. Awesome is only one word, but that is what I would use.

[@letsdig18]

im on it

[@TR-zn4pw]

the door works like a excavator windshield

[@certifiedlawnpros]

+letsdig18 I'm still learning how to use the 4 in 1 bucket. I have to try your method with leaving the jaws opened. Do you have any other tips on how to use it?

[@Upearlyuplate]

Alex Schultz 4 in 1 are pretty much standard here in australia very handy..one tip i can share is when trimming with one slightly open it when backblading to cut..and or open all the way and pull back it really depends on how much you need to cut....when dumping if the material is wet when dumping with a closed bucket open slightly and flick open a little helps to empty quicker 😉

Looks like a fun skidster to buzz around on. You sure made fast work of those piles, nice job.

[@SuperTrackhoe1]

I’m very interested in the Takeuchi machines. How wonderful it is to watch somebody demonstrate one who can truly operate it. Every movement calculated and smooth. Now what’s your overall impressions of this machine? Thanks!!!

[@jifi-0178]

Looks like Chris had 3 large leaded (caffine) drinks b4 hitting the controls and wasn't allowed a crack at the porta pooper until he leveled and graded his piles. *smirk* chris, I believe you mentioned in the intro of this new machine to your work force that this skidder has a bunch of flavoring or customizing in the controls for speed and level of significance (boom vs stick, boom vs under carriage, etc.) Did you get this one dialed in for you?

[@gordonmccoy4537]

The guy sure knows just EXACTLY what his machine can do and DOES IT!!!! I'm impressed!

[@SuperMBARutgers2013]

I want one. Looks like a fun "toy" for a grown man

[@92MikeKY]

That bucket sure is handy for back dragging

[@jamesdickson3616]

Strong machine and very good operator

[@CarsonSchifsky]

Are your tracks a little loose or should they be adjusted like that we have a 2009 tl130 and there no where near that loose so im concerned we have them to tight?

[@bettatreeremovalandearthmo4481]

Hey Chris have you sold the old one yet ? Looks like this one is running sweet

[@janvandenbos7085]

Smooth action with Takeuchi Fast Job Chris Nice 😊👍

[@vastylebbq5203]

Hi Chris. Nice work with a nice machine. Is there any improvement in the the new Tak over your old one? more HPs? Better controls? Or just newer and not worn down yet? Its tier 4 I guess .Been looking at track loaders, and these things really impress me.Keep up the good work..

[@fox13z400]

those machines really are beasts

[@JerichoRally]

It's not the machine, it's the operator.

[@jackgriffits664]

i have 2 questions #1 Are tose steel tracks? and #2 why did you take the door off.

[@letsdig18]

no they are rubber tracks and the door is just rolled up. sometimes I like to work with it open if its nice out

[@jackgriffits664]

oh i didn't know it folded up thought it was like a traditional bobcat where they just open out

[@kylemiller7908]

Love the video man but what are y'all doing

[@Constructionqueen41]

Fun to watch. Great video, thanks!

[@maineman11]

That's a cool little rig.

[@rude252]

Loving the 4 in 1

[@TR-zn4pw]

did you sell the tl150?

[@jedandmissymartin1891]

What brand and size 4 in 1 bucket is that?

[@markdowling6524]

I'm not sure what brand that is but I use a Norm engineering bucket , they are well made and finished and take a beating

[@jonathanmurr3829]

That’s a construction attachments severe extreme duty 4-1. They are made in NC you can buy them at everythingattachments.com I have the same bucket for my machine they are built well but not the easiest to do final grades with.

[@BOBCAT4224]

Bobcat has better visibility I have a bobcat t-300 turbo I've driven a takehuchi before and it's a good tractor but it's attachment view sucks I have to lean out of my seat to see where the hookup is that's one of the major flaws but other than that it's a well made peace of equipment

[@wyliegreen9279]

My cousin has a brand new and a uses T8 Takuchi

[@mattnoell1968]

Way cool with a clamshell bucket and the best machine on the planet so I am told. M.

[@mattnoell1968]

M Vvgv

[@regsparkes6507]

As Kyle said,..what's going on here Chris ?

[@Ka7wyf]

building up the grade?

[@letsdig18]

just pushing off a dump site so the dirt wont hold water and can be reused

[@Kalebspeir]

[@sisutrucks]

wheelloader mate, you need one hehe :)

[@mattgrover4826]

Nice job

[@gangesexcavating]

I think you told me that this is the new unit?

[@letsdig18]

yeah weve had it about a month now

[@MrDyson01]

+letsdig18 did you have another takeuchi just like this one except different model number?

[@andrewbailey6729]

Nice

[@KGSHEAMASONRY]

Man makes me want to trade my TL130 in for a new one ........just not the payment

[@wadewilson5296]

What kind of price tags do these things have?
