This mini skid steer is incredible! So happy with it!

[@Longsnowsm]

Brother you are getting it done here. Amazed by that little mini skid. Looks like something I need to put on the priority list here on the homestead.

[@haulintrash]

@Longsnowsm It's quite a little tank! There hasn't been much i threw at it that it couldn't handle. About the only thing that stops it is when the weight is just more than it can lift. But that takes a lot! I've been amazed at what it can lift and haul!

[@starvingsquirrel]

One of the best videos I've seen utilizing a china skid. Nice to see one putting in real work so we can see what they can do. I knew as soon as you speared into the pile the first time and heard it grunt that I was going to watch the whole video and sub. Thanks!

[@haulintrash]

Thanks! It really has been a great little machine! Hasn't let me down yet!

[@canadianexplorer3916]

My trailer is a little too tall for my mini skid too. I use a 4x4 piece of wood the length of the trailer, lay it down when I'm loading a foot or so away from trailer, drive the front of tracks up on it. That little bit of height makes a big difference 👍

[@haulintrash]

That's a good idea! I will have to remember that!

[@mikedesilets3324]

Grapple paid for itself in this one video.

[@haulintrash]

@@mikedesilets3324 Man, did it ever! Awesome little tool!

[@mikedesilets3324]

@haulintrash I can't believe to size of logs it was handling.

[@haulintrash]

@@mikedesilets3324 I was pretty surprised myself! It handled way more weight than I thought it could!

[@Eddie-f6t]

2 foot sides on your dump trailer?

[@haulintrash]

@@Eddie-f6t 3 ft sides.

[@Eddie-f6t]

@ thanks , I have the same type of machine , thanks for sharing watching from Raleigh/ Durham,NC USA

[@haulintrash]

@Eddie-f6t OH that's cool! How do you like yours! I'm lovin' mine!

[@Eddie-f6t]

@ just got it last month , have not used it much , also have a mini and have grapple like it a lot . Like your brush grapple does nice job . May buy a dump trailer that’s why I was curious about your side height. Thanks for responding and Merry Christmas Y’all

[@haulintrash]

@Eddie-f6t Merry Christmas to you as well! I wanted more capacity so that's why I went with 3ft sides. Mine are also flared, so it's 8 ft wide at the top. Almost 15 yard capacity, so it can haul a lot of junk!

[@thomasmartucci3590]

what HP is yours? I see some around 14-15HP and others are 23 HP.

[@haulintrash]

I think mine is rated at 13.5 HP. It is a 420cc gas engine.

[@jonboyer4058]

Maybe build a small ramp to drive up it. That would drive me nuts having to push it out

[@haulintrash]

@jonboyer4058 yeah, it can get a bit annoying, but it's so much better than loading by hand, it's worth it!

[@LA_STi]

What size grapple im looking at getting the 36" or 42" myself, there both the same price

[@haulintrash]

@@LA_STi I believe mine is 39" wide.

[@LA_STi]

@haulintrash Awesome,Thank you

[@guzziman100]

Great video. I think I would prefer loading logs over my head from the comfort of a caged skid steer.

[@haulintrash]

@@guzziman100 That’s a good point, but the way the grapple closes and opens I think it would be impossible for a log to roll off the back.

[@guzziman100]

@@haulintrash I had a log come out of a grapple bucket at full extension while in a Tak T12, smashing the window. Honestly, that 12,000-pound machine was barely enough for loading the truck and trailer I was using. It's totally my fault, but stuff happens. Stay safe, my friend.

[@haulintrash]

@@guzziman100 I'll stay on my toes for sure!

[@jtrocktree5409]

Who makes this machine

[@haulintrash]

@jtrocktree5409 It's a "MachPro" but I really don't know who makes it. It's Chinese, so probably one company makes several "brands"!

[@natsterlive]

Rippa is the parent company

[@jtrocktree5409]

@@natsterlive got it , thanks !
