Trading machines! Which is better? Mecalac or kubota and why

[@Icemedic24]

Mecalac is the Swiss Army knife of equipment. I run the red 8MCR from Global Sac, I can switch from mulching, to logging, to trenching, to road building. You helped me make the decision to go with the Mecalac vs anything else. I have been able to bid and get jobs that a skid steer or standard excavator can not do.

Great glad to have seen you use trade and improve through quite a while.

[@NuDig55]

Of the two the Mecalac for the track speed and reduced form factor for forest maneuvers. The Tak was a nice setup though....

[@gtr1952]

I'm glad you asked LOL. I have no time in any of them, I'm just an engineer/gear-head type. I thought the Mecalac was a great choice for what you are doing. It's a 3 piece boom, not 2, and built heavier. It will lift more, and is more compact. Also more maneuverable in tighter areas. Because it is better balanced w/3 pc. boom, more stable on grades. It can also be used under a canopy, trees, power lines etc. Then folded up, and the blade used in small/tighter areas and on grades. If that makes any sense. 8) --gary

[@mikestrucks]

Nice video Sam ! The Mecalac is a very universal machine 👍🏻 💪🏻

[@sprucegoose1016]

That mecalec sure is awesome 👌 I rem when you first demoed that one mecalec 😊

[@farmerbob728]

Nice equipment all the way around..I've been watching some videos from the U.K. and the new kubota kx085-5..They will be coming state side in June or July.

[@jayg479]

Bought and paid for. Shut up. Love it

[@VBELTandSON]

Amen

[@villageearthwright]

Come on man, one trip! That's the Tiltrotator way, haha.

[@Anonymous-vr9hp]

I run a case cx75 with a mulching head on it. I would love to see how the mecalac runs a head, I think it would be good for it. Edit: I found the video going to watch it now

[@lyndonhamby7432]

Good job Sam 👍

[@harlangrant1907]

Both are cool

[@georgeenriquez612]

👍🏻. I’ve always been a Deere guy but that’s just me.

[@anymanusa]

Lol. There is no worse company to support than Deere.

[@georgeenriquez612]

@@anymanusa sounds like a personal opinion

[@ProudPapaw88]

I believe the mecalac would be my favorite.

[@kenmcclure5623]

Hell ya Brother

[@Forestryman707]

Have you checked out other grapples for the engcon?

[@chrislanders282]

I see 1 reason why your track speed is faster on the yellow machine. The drive sprocket is much larger.

[@VBELTandSON]

Yup and a lot more rpm

[@cabn4321]

I’m thinking of buying an eight MCR from the same place, but they did not seem to have any packages of accessories? Maybe a promotional offer, or am I missing something lol

[@VBELTandSON]

Things might be different now when they order machines.

[@VermontHeavyTimber]

When's the Engcon going on the Mecalac?

[@VBELTandSON]

I’m not sure I’ll ad one to the mec. It does really well with a Forrestry jobs as it is

[@Lad-cv7zv]

Caterpillar

[@VBELTandSON]

Mec is faster and out lifts a 310

[@dapymp17]

Do you have an opinion on the bobcat t86 and bobcat e60? Serious question…thanks!

[@VBELTandSON]

I have never been a fan of bobcat. They are a little behind in performance and cooling

[@eddyklier3995]

Let's see the fae eat on the mec

[@VBELTandSON]

I posted a video a few months ago. Mec rips with the fae. Feels like double the useable power and all boom functions aren’t slowed down with get on.
