We FINALLY Bought a *BRAND NEW* Skid Steer! (and...almost burned the house down) | 2023 Bobcat T770

[@countryguy3024]

As a farmer who has run skidd-steres for over 20 years, here's my thoughts. Pallet forks and a brush grapple are what you will need 100% of the time. Pallet forks are a universal tool in the world of skidd-steres. And brush grapples are a must with the amount of land you have. Trees will drop limbs all the time, and those two attachments will help you out alot! Cleaning out the equipment regularly plays a crucial role in maintaining a long, productive life. This does not mean just wash it off with a power washer. Buy a large air compressor with a blow gun, blow the air filters out, around any exposed electrical components, and the radiator/cooling system. All this seems small, but it stops problems from occurring.

[@TrocarSlushWeasel]

You have to have the swing facing towards the view. Its not like you're gonna be doing big swings, just gentle sways. Much better to look out over your grounds than the wall.

[@rodgerrodger1958]

The master oogway of yard work.

[@fuckyourhandle91]

Use eye hooks. You can change the direction of the swing to your liking

[@robertlangtry5699]

If they are affected by hurricane winds, they need to be careful about it taking out their windows....

[@HaoaHaNa8513]

In case anyone is wondering, the "bettles" at 3:30 are Boxelder bugs. They are native to the eastern parts of North America, and will hang around homes during the cold seasons for warmth. They pose no threat to anyone and are just straight up vibing. Also, happy birthday Genay!!

[@necrochemical5572]

southern too. We get plenty in Texas

[@jend6597]

lol i thought they were lightning bugs!

[@destorer5000]

​@@jend6597 Me too😅

[@imjustbnmevanellopeii7359]

How do you keep them away from your home though?

[@Cnzcia]

You know, when it snows, home owners have to shovel the driveways and all that? Cartoonz has like a mile long driveway xD

[@FranFine79]

That's where the bobcat will come in handy 😉

[@sigpi222]

Eden sees like, 6" of snow per year. Pretty sure clearing that driveway is a non-issue.

[@robertlangtry5699]

@@sigpi222 My first thought was about the kick-ass snow thrower he could put on there, until I remembered that they were in South Carolina, that this video was recent, and comparatively, they hardly even know what snow is compared to here.... 😅

[@MaskedStray]

Anyone else hold their breathe when toonz jumped that small gap?! That grunt showed them legs aint what they use to be 😂😂. Love this channel and the updates!

[@Kbrezer]

Genay just hopping around at 6:40 has me in tears. Such a vibe, i do that all the time xD

[@Incognito1786]

I was just about to say that everything makes SO much more sense. Toonz is a bit crazy, and it seems his lady is too. 🤣

[@Challenger0428]

I suggest the swing facing the view. It’s all about what your looking at while you’re spending time in it. Happy Birthday to your lovely lady.

[@stupidasso6645]

Happy Birthday Janay

[@tyleradams4422]

It would probably be a good idea to get a Aux diesel tank and pump on the property that way you have large amounts of fuel on property at all times and just have someone come fill the tanks periodically. That way can run all your machines, generators, etc.

[@wintercheetah2279]

Watching these videos really just shows how much time has passed because I would watch cartoons EVERYDAY as a kid and just seeing this journey makes me tear up a little

[@paulftw87]

Your new Bobcat is 100% worth the purchase because you can legit get the backhoe attachment for it for the front, it can be your workhorse, can probably get all the attachments ever made and not spend anywhere close to another $80,000. Can set aside the additional cost for fuel and maintenance for the single machine instead of two.

[@CurtisLaneEquipment]

The Bob-Tach attachment mounting system helps you change attachments in less than a minute. And Bobcat makes the most attachments in the industry. So, yes, you're exactly right.

[@blondeguy08]

Ive been told by the dealer themselves how bad the backhoe attachment is and was advised to not buy it. I bought a new T76 platinum

[@jasongrinnell1986]

@@blondeguy08but it is totally better than a shovel.

[@babymine5482]

Please have the swing face the view.. Genay... Happy Birthday! House looks better each time you show it. June seems a long time away, but you'll have your life there... 🙏🙏💗💗

[@kudoskarlos]

Nice operating my dude. Make sure you do a 360 check every time you move. I know you're out of the way with no one around, but bad habits can lead to bad accidents. Stay safe and keep the awesome videos coming!

[@merica_0015]

When you start buying implements make a habit to raise your skid steer arms up and roll it forward to check the pins to make sure they are lock in

[@blondeguy08]

💯 made this mistake and won’t do it again

[@pleviathan]

The swing gotta face the view, c'mon! Happy birthday, Genay! Hope Luke spoiled you!

[@sueweetiecat]

Happy birthday genaaay!

[@markcook512]

I legit can't wait to see the final touches when it's completely done omg

[@tristinbeyda]

Yo, toonz, you might want to look into getting a bobcat tool-cat. We use them at my college. Very versatile, UTV/truck like vehicle with 4 wheel steering, a fully enclosed cab, loader in the front and dumping bed in the rear. And they can move FAST! Also has high flow hydraulics, and universal attachments like the skid loader you just bought. I can see it quickly becoming an essential machine in traversing your whole property. We use ours year round to plow snow, move dirt, dump gravel, transport gear and more! One of these just might be your next purchase!

[@robertlangtry5699]

He already has ATVs though, and you can put attachments on them if needed, so that would just be throwing his money away...

[@tristinbeyda]

@@robertlangtry5699 yeah but an ATV can't haul or carry much and the skid loader would take forever to get to certain areas of his property.

[@RedNeck_Zeus]

The best brand is the one with the nearest dealership. Because no matter the brand, things break, so it best to have quick and easy access to repairs and/or replacements.

[@jasongrinnell1986]

Very true

[@MapleRhubarb]

Bobcat, sponsor this man! lol I too will be so sad if that persimmon tree is too torched to live...keep us updated! 🙏

[@angelagreen5431]

We call those boxelder bugs. They're everywhere. Lol

[@smd_mat8221]

Definitely looks like boxelder bugs, rough on trees/plants/gardens

[@KableTac]

nothing beats a skid steer. there are so many accessories you can load up to a skid steer to make it useful for virtually any situation.

[@damianpadayachee5111]

Happy Belated Birthday Genay!

[@night-owl-yt]

You had the perfect chance to play all stars by smash mouth when the video started😅😂

[@Metalenmike]

ima be honest yall, having worked on a ranch where we had a bad grass fire that scorched a few trees. theres a high chance that trees gonna die. especially to that degree BUT you never know! Try getting some tree wound sealer to replace the burnt/destroyed bark. oh and a tip about getting a tractor please for the love of god dont get a john deere XD maybe go for a kubota.

[@aaronnicholson61]

38:29 Happy Birthday 🎉🎉

[@SenseofNoneYT]

Swing facing the view probably. At least it's what I'd want personally.

[@Bennyandwifey]

The lip sync on the “Hello there” at the beginning was perfect 😗🤌 Nice work editor

Lol you crack me up!! I love watching these videos and seeing how everything progresses.... BUT TOONZ I HOPE YOU SEE THIS GROUNDED HAS GOTTEN SOME UPDATES I WISH YOU'D REVISIT THAT GAME!! love y'all ❤❤ Edit: swing to the view.... You got an amazingly beautiful view swing towards it

[@XxHersheyxXKooki]

Happy Birthday Genay! I think facing the view would be a great look for the swing, with some side tables or a big rocks as a platform on each end would be a good idea.

[@cadenwyllie8372]

congrats tooonz!!! this looks amazing. once all the plumbing and electrical is finalized the building process goes by super quick so you should be in your house in no time. well hopefully never know with contractors lol

[@LucarnAnderson]

Those boxelder bugs are very common but they like to come with a lot of them. They’re harmless no worries! I’ve always called them painted ladies cause they look like they’re painted lol.

[@natebowman7593]

3:30 Those are Boxelder Beetles, they are harmless native bugs who feed on maple seeds.

[@breethebutcher3074]

It looks so good now that all the stone is up, and yes it looks sick around the door. Y'all made great choices. Congrats on the new equipment, and a very happy belated birthday to Genay!!! I hope you had an amazing day!!🥳🎁🎂💙

I love the new equipment and please make more videos of using them. Your house is getting so beautiful! About the swing, let it face out towards your lovely landscape. Finally, happy birthday Genay

[@coffeelionn]

Happy birthday, Genay! 🎉🎂 And yay for new toys! I love watching the progress on the house build as well as the other vlogs you occasionally do on the channel. I've learned quite a bit and it makes me itchy to build my own home some day lol

You look dapper young man that shirt looks nice and that cut looks clean yes indeed 🤠

[@apocalyptictim7831]

Happy Birthday Genay! and I would say the View is top tier for the swing!

[@OffByOneGaming]

The swing towards the view is definitely better IMO. Congrats on new equipment Toonz!

[@rolozz4676]

Bit late but when you look at the direction of the existing rafters assume to install swings or most material perpendicular to get a better bite. Swings should be mounted into more than one joist/ rafter whichever way it swings. Either double up the rafter you plan on mounting to or change direction to span the load better. And please use heavy duty rubbers! Love this channel too toonz ❤ Glad you mentioned it

[@SouthernTake]

My parents have had a septic tank for 40yrs about 25yrs ago my father had a larger one put in , I think it has had to be emptied twice , they are not bad you just need to find a solid one and put it level with the house so the rain water won't run back into them , put tablets in the toilet like twice a year to help decompose what's in there , My ex bought a house in Mississippi that actually had a water purifier inside the tank that purified the water and it is what was used for the sprinklers for the garden / yard. . worth looking into imo , they get a bad rap for some reason but ours has never leaked or caused any issues ever. and you are right they want to annex you in order to have city septic , and that my friend is city taxes , all kinds of regulations on farm life. I would carry my shit out in buckets before I let someone annex you.

[@nicollette4485]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GENAY!!

[@curtisdrago]

This video seemed very culture shock to me. I know nothing about the conversation you guys had regarding the Bobcat, I don't know how life would be like on a homestead, and living down in North Carolina. It's all very interesting and eye-opening. This channel piques my curiosity in so many ways. I love it.

[@SharpShooter9867]

Should also get a grading bucket to go along with the tooth bucket. It will help with developing your property.

[@tysen]

happy birthday genay!! :D also, what if u did the swing at an angle? like so it swings in and out of the corner? but if there isn’t enough room for that, i’d say swinging facing the front door, it’s more natural when conversing and you can always lay down to see the view.

[@matztonne2167]

Happy Birthday 🎉

[@NightDevil6969]

Happy birthday Genay and nice skip

[@melloyellosurge]

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GENAY!!! Also, with the swing, I would say that it depends on what you prioritize more. I would have it facing the driveway if you're looking for the view. I would also suggest having it facing towards the front door if you want to face any guest who may be joining you on your front porch. Just something to think about.

[@williamfeeney9216]

Happy Birthday Genay, hoping your day was special.

[@benmiller5015]

Do a tractor man. You can get a 3 point hitch backhoe attachment. N you'll be able to get a rototiller attachment for the garden n pull a trailer

[@ang577]

A swivel option would be best but if only choosing one or the other, definitely a view towards the nature would be best. You can have a bench large enough for the two of of you to sit and chat or for when Genay wants to curl up and read a nice book. Either way, love the progress and excited for the finished product! 🙌

[@tech4172]

The great thing with that black is you will rarely need to use heat as long as the sun's out during atleast 6 hrs a day it will hold heat and let it in at night. Had this in my house in KY and damn it gets HOT never used the heat once

[@monkeytoes1155]

You're gonna be living in my dream house pretty much. Such a beautiful piece of architecturea

the toonz mansion gettin almost ready , the misses looks so tiny compared to just the windows let alone the front of the house lol

[@AaronnaPhiliou]

I have no fondness for Kobodas, have enjoyed the bobcats I have used, so I'm glad you went bobcat over Kaboda. As for the swing, I would personally go for the view because that's my kind of thing. The perk of having it facing up the side would be for socializing. So it just depends on whether or not you plan on spending more time socializing or just enjoying the view.

[@Theeonlysherlock]

Happy birthday Genay! Great video dude.. house looks great.

you guys should get one of those swinging daybeds! If you stained the wood to match your door, think it would balance out the front nicely.

As to the swing placement on the front porch, it depends on whether you value chatting with people or you want to enjoy the view on your property.

[@JeffreyWindley-n4i]

If you run a mulcher you need a external cooler . A tractor is a very versatile piece of equipment with a abi rake .

[@jacobbuckley8232]

Gotta swing in and out with that view. Thats a no brainer

[@aLLamaLurks]

Get yall an antique outdoor metal glider seat. They look so nice and don't require as big a swing space.

[@smittysbuilds]

if you can buy a step bigger then you think you need. people always regret it to save money then regret not getting a bigger one. but the E55 will do some damage, rip trees down and move them across the property. personally skid steer. i would get a Multcher/Bucket/grapple claw / Snow Plow/ forks ability to turn in a small area and good agility is so nice. tractors are nice but i like skid steers more, the backhoe it is a quicker attach similar to one i used and takes about 20 mins to swap from backhoe to brush hog. its a few pins, remove hoses, mine luckily has a lever to lower the hydraulic arms from outside helps with lowering and pickup attachments when removing and get the holes lined up.

[@jasonguy1875]

God I wish I was like Cartoonz so badly.🤩 Also for the swing in the porch I personally would have it facing the view of your yard but I can definitely understand why you would like it up against the wall. But that's just me, hope everything is coming along smoothly.

[@6.7ram]

The t870 has a hydraulic piston for the tracks vs grease piston so it automatically keeps tension on the tracks at all times soon as you turn the machine on.

With the DEF you want to fill up after every two fill ups of diesel you can get a def tank delivered to your property and you can get a diesel tank as well

[@forsakkenheavens]

Swing works well side to side if there is a banister/rail. If there isn’t one you’ll definitely be turning it once genay sits on it.
