- On a road trip today to see our friends at Blacktrac. Can't wait to see it at work on the farm soon. Although we are not paid or sponsored by Blacktrac or Norcar, the machine is on loan hence why we have marked as an Ad. 👌

#norcar #loader #blacktrac - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
That’s so great that blacktrac are able to loan you equipment so that you can try before you buy. Great to see companies caring about their customers 👍👍
It's very strange but ever since I started watching TH-cam I have found a fascination of tractors.
Tim - you used to demo impact wrenches! You new toys are on a whole new level!
Blacktrac are great letting you trial the equipment like this
Its a bit of a catch 22 really. Part of the charm of this channel and reason for its success is because you are relatable to the everyday man trying to do renovations etc. Once you start getting all this free stuff to make your life so much easier you start to lose the relatability and step in to the 'celebrity' sphere. Wish you well though and I dont blame you for trying out new kit for free!
Exactly. It's a fine balance to get right. On one hand we would love to do it all with no sponsors at all but on the other hand much of what we are doing would simply not be possible without, especially as we currently rely on TRC as our only income while doing the build. 😬
@@TheRestorationCouple Understand. The real aim of the game is to cultivate revenue streams outside of third party platforms like TH-cam. That will give you greater independence, better financial security and deeper connections etc. It's a bit of a hamster wheel TH-cam that semi forces you into compromises. Looking forward to the builds to come.
The smile on Tim’s face says it all,like Christmas again on the farm…
what a great piece of machinery. I can already think of a million uses around your farm/home! Cannot wait to see it in action!
Bosch give this man a well deserved sponsor! 😁
Only one thing missing from this video....Jo, the main tractor driver 😎
Nice to have a new toy to play with Tim, will make life alot easier, keep the videos coming 👍
If makita has been in touch wanting to sponsor their newer 40v line of tools would be good for the farm, they have cordless earth augers and all sorts. Check out tools & stuff channel and scott brown carpentry theyre both makita 👍 happy youve got help from companies like blacktrac and speedy, youre the best channel on here that does things without selling yourselves out just to get the freebies so keep up the good work 🍻
We bought an industrial unit that came with a fork lift. It was wonderful.
Love your work 👍
Tim's excited face 🤣🤣🤣
Nice one Tim. Paying off now 🙌
Tracked skid steer. Big lifting capacity and all the attachments you could ever need or want.
Though I am considering something like this too as even the used skid steers seem pricy
These are fantastic machines, the Swiss Army knife of the front loaders with the manoeuvrability of a forklift and the adaptability of a tractor so ideal for the farm and material handling “I would go for the a7240 or a7750 with the 1500kg lift” remember when you extend the boom the lifting and operational ability drops dramatically. The only drawback to the machine is the lack of reach which you don’t get with a telehandler “to a degree” so lifting and placing roof trusses on a house or barn, or slates on the top flight of scaffolding would not be possible? The machines I would pick would be the larger tractor, the a7240 or a7750 and purchase a second hand tele-handler which you can sell after your development is completed. Keep up the good work.👍🚜
Nice new toy, still not February proof as open cab, hey I am a wimp. I know Matt at Badger Workshop has Bosch tool sponsorship. Could be worth dropping him a line for a contact. He is a Bosch chap too. Your level of skill is definitely ’Bosch blue’ 😁
Nice work Tim. While companies like this are supporting you, use the hell out of their demos, push them to their limits without being stupid. You'll learn a lot about your property's requirements, so when it comes to spending your own cash be in a much better place to invest wisely. A small machine like this I think Jo should be well suited to operating, you'll increase your workflow immensely if she is confident on it. Take care D
I think I did suggest this a few times before, these things are so versatile. But still that little tractor is an awesome machine as well
But watch out they get tippy very quick once the forks are up all the way. The middle hinge bends and there's nothing you can do to stop that, it happens just too quickly.
These kinds of machines are fantastic. If it’s possible to have a dedicated loader and a dedicated tractor it makes for a much better outfit than a loader ON a tractor which will always be a half-arsed compromise. It’s only the cost that forces people to end up with a great big awkwardly-manoeuvred heavy lump strapped above the steering axle of their tractor.
The comments about terrain ability are kind of valid, but anyone with sense would only ever use one of these on flat hard surfaces and then put the load onto a transport box / tipper bucket / forks etc on the BACK of the tractor to move things in terrain. Let’s face it, a heavy load on a tractor front loader is dodgy as heck on rough ground as well
That’s a great I’m glad for you
I really love the consideration that goes into your sponsor or companies that you work with always really genuine and you have a purposeful use obviously a lot of work goes into making content but some channels fall into the trap of sponsorship and seem to have a different tool kit every year this is often a turnoff for me as it feels that we the consumer ultimately cover this cost in the product. Good to see you getting some tools that will speed your work up and insure you don't break yourselves.
New toys are always fun Tim. I don't think Bosch do sponsorships. They believe their tools sell themselves...(I'm a Bosch user as well and still use my Dad's now 50 (?)year old router!!! Milwaukee make some good heavy duty gear... have a go at them.
Boys and their toys!!! 😀👍
You really do seem to have some conflicting machine requirements - but that looks perfect for getting in and around all your old farm buildings, and even across the fields if you've got a prepared / flat-ish access track.
Brilliant piece of kit on flat ground but hodgepodge farm has a lot of sloped fields … be careful out there 😎✅✅✅
Thankfully this will be at home on concrete most of the time. 👍
@@TheRestorationCouple 👌…perfect ✅✅✅
Why does that young guy sound like Kaleb Coopers brother! 😂
Bosch supplied Badger Workshop with some tools and he is a much smaller channel. Maybe tap them up!
I’ve just realised in Tim’s sunglasses that he holds the camera while driving 😮
Pretty sure it's on a mount. When he stops for fuel it remains in place.
Good spot but fear not Poirot. 👍 Camera is on a mount, just got my hand on it to stop vibrations.
It's illegal to make a video whilst driving even if it's on a mount, you could be reported and be prosecuted, be careful.
Having filmed commercially for productions I’ve never come across that. Certainly for phones and devices but mounted recording equipment as far as I know is not the same. The regs state guidelines around pieces to camera while driving, I.e look at the road!
@@TheRestorationCouple New laws came into force 25th March 2022 regarding the use of mobile phones whilst driving. Not sure about other devices but to me no devices should be used that take your eyes off the road.
Agree with a couple of other people commenting that I think this would be dangerous on some of your land. All the time it’s working on flat smooth ground, great! It does look like an awesome bit of kit don’t get me wrong, but not sure it’s right for the farm. 🤷🏻♂️
It's all concrete and yards where it's intended for, it's not to replace the tractor. 👍
@@TheRestorationCouple I realise it’s not a replacement for the tractor 😁 excited to see its capabilities though. I know it’s on loan but you’re beginning to amass rather a nice collection of toys! 🤣
You should look at getting a wider wheel base for stability and safety ,on your ground especially on you uneven ground please stay safe you have a lot of work to get on with
I appreciate Blacktrac are gonna be giving you a discount, but you could just get a MF 550 or 575 and it'd be much cheaper in the long run (depending how much your discount with Blacktrac is) and it'd do everything you could reasonably want to do and more.
(also the wheels can pretty much lock at close to 80 degrees so you can almost turn on the back wheels, especially as you can break the back wheels individually) (also they're not temperamental, they're indestructible) (also you'd have the ability to do all the stuff you're doing, and more)
There is no expectation or intention to buy it. Blacktrac simply offered it so we can see what it does and also give them real world feedback. I'm guessing when you're a busy dealer then you get little chance to put everything through it's paces yourself so fortunately the were kind enough to use us as their guineapigs! Pretty sure that there won't be budget for any like this until we have a house to live in! 😂. That said, an older larger tractor is something we may look at in the future for out on the fields.
@@TheRestorationCouple Oh yeah absolutely, and don't take what I said as being critical; given the option to try it I'd absolutely give it a go as well, I mean it can't harm! I grew up on a riding school / livery yard ~50-60 acers, mainly horses but also some sheep, so a pretty similar smallish holding like you have now (even with a small brook and all) so sometimes I can't help but throw my 2 cents in given how similar our needs are/were.
Anywho, have since moved away from the yard (though I still have to go back at the weekend to slave labour (mowing fields, fencing, hedge laying, etc, etc)) and have bought a house which I'm doing up DIY style which has been significantly inspired by your channel. So I just want to say, love what you're doing and keep it up!
Great looking machine, though you can't really have a farm without a tractor for all the field jobs like cutting, spreading, etc - basically all the 3 point hitch jobs.
Probably a choice between a loader plus small tractor, or a single larger tractor.
Yeah there will always be a need for the tractor (or 2) 😂 but around the yards, buildings and construction side of things this is so much more suitable. 👍
@@TheRestorationCouple The American Regen Ag people are saying avoid the tractor! I think they are meaning borrow or contract out etc. Saw a video from a cow guy in Sussex the other day and he had a £3K bill on his, a seized UJ.
I would choose something with a bigger track on bumpy ground, this, I think, in your situation is dangerous. Keep safe. Regards AJ
I wonder could you add dual wheels and increase the wheel base width without making it to difficult to maneuver
Looks pretty small. Try a JCB 531-70 or similar.
What a bit of kit. Does it come in a tracked version? Now the big thing is are you man enuff to tell yer missus sheez no gettn a shot.🤓 I'll be watchin.😂
Tim, I reckon Bosch aren't interested in sponsoring you because you're already using their product. Maybe if you start moving to another brand they'll come to the party. 🤑
How much???!!!
Great question... I don't actually know. Just looked and not really listed anywhere online. I'll find out for the next video. 👍
My guess is, if you have to ask you can't afford it 🤣
Personally I’d just have a bigger tractor with loader
Are you sure you’re English? Haha. When you have fellow Englishmen on, there seems to be a distinct difference between how you sound and how they sound. You are much easier for me to understand. Maybe it’s because of how long I been watching you, but I’m American and you are definitely easier to understand than many others you feature from time to time. I wonder if you make a conscience effort to speak slower. Just curious your thoughts, or whether you’ve lived other places in the world.
Pretty sure I am! 😂 The accents change very quickly as you travel around the country so it only takes an hour or two's drive and it can be very different. Same distance the other way and we are in mid Wales for example.
SKID STEER and all your problems sorted...
5 pence!!!! you mean sixpence...damn what has happened to Great Britain ?
For me , a wider wheelbase would give a much stable, safer operation
Recording whilst driving - please stop! 👍
