I don't know if the 5055 offers this but I think some Bobcats do...four wheel steering "rear crab only" mode allows you to point the bucket to the left or right while steering a course, could help with that last issue at 9:02. if i'm not mistaken, rear-steering only would also solve that problem if it were available

I am in South Florida and watched your video to see was it snowing up north enough to start plowing? I wish that this year I can at least wear a wind breaker. Our winters are mostly just like walking by the dairy section in the grocery store. Looks like fun moving snow around.

That’s classic! Enjoy your winter in aisle 4 lol. Thanks for watching!

What would be your favorite loader to get now , I looked at Bob Cat and I looked at Kubota

[@TheLandscapingLifestyle]

Thanks for watching. We still like the wackers… mainly due to price and our relationship with the sales and service Dept. We have since bought a WL60 and WL52 to add to the WL38 and 5055. We purchased a Bobcat L65 and the machine has nice cab options, but is underpowered and slow compared to the 5055. I’m a fan of Kubota mowers, but have not ran their mini loaders at all. Again, I always recommend ensuring your relationship with sales and service is #1 over the brand. Also, financing and warranty options.

Drivetrain on articulated loader will last much longer. Lot of moving parts in all wheel steer.

The ECM went out in the WL38 at 130 hours. Left us stuck during a terrible snow storm. We haven’t had it for 5 weeks.

@@TheLandscapingLifestyle thats the only thing that keeps me away from wacker, machines are awesome but the dealer network is way behind the bigger names.

[@TheLandscapingLifestyle]

Yes. It has now been 2 months and our dealer hasn’t been able to fix it. Now the 5055 went down. They gave us two loaners and one of them went down last week. So we had 3/4 Wacker machines out of commission and had to use backup plow trucks. I hate doing things half-assed so there will most likely be a change coming by EOY 2023.

@@TheLandscapingLifestyle rightfully so, cant operate that way.
