Case makes AWESOME machines, I've had a " few " flops.. but so has everyone else with their equipment. It happens. I've been in almost everything, minus a few off the wall excavators. I can attest that you'll see a old case rolling around on a job site somewhere in your area, I can put money on it. The one I'm used to operating is a old case 580b backhoe... Got it out of a junk yard for 350 dollars, replaced the filters and did an oil change, and she roared right up ( minus bleeding the rail... that's a given.) Spent about 500 total to get her sparkly and she's running to this day from 1996 when it was first pulled out of the junk.
A lot of people talk smack about Case, but I’m with you, I love em. They’re entirely underrated, great machines. All Japanese Sumitomo machines. Hell, very few machines are even made in the US anymore. Cat? lol. Made everywhere else, just a few models made here. Deere? All hitachi machines up until a few years ago, now they’re “designed by Deere” but still made elsewhere and the ag side mostly made, you guessed it, not in the US. In fact Cat AND Deere have a HUGE number of machines made in China. VERY FEW MACHINES ARE ACTUALLY MADE HERE and Deere just fired 1700 employees and moved their jobs to Mexico. I refuse to be loyal to any American company, they’re damn sure not loyal to us. Every year they send more and more jobs overseas so they don’t have to pay American workers a decent salary even though the machines are built twice as good here. They don’t care. Enough of my rambling. Sorry. They just piss me off.
Some equipment manufacturers are beginning to get that designing machinery for combat conditions is a great sales tool. Simpler to train new people on, maintenance and repair are expedited with fewer parts and easier access. Plus, as you note, operators have fewer cab distractions and complex controls enabling them to more fully concentrate on the job at hand. KISS, right?
Great review! I work for that dealer in a different area. You should ask the guys about Leica machine control. I think you would really like a robotic total station for estimating and complex grading projects. Would be able to grow into 3D machine control on a skid attachment or small dozer with it as well. Cool videos!
I cannot see any reason why CASE would not hook you up with a discount after this review!!! Fun to watch you guys have fun doing what you love, thanks for sharing!!!
The new cx57c case excavator is an amazing machine, we use one to clear land and it never fails to impress us everyday, we use it almost everyday and it has an amazing breakout force and like you said, its almost to much power for the machine it is
Awesome review man. Always getting into new equipment, and getting straight to work, don't need a 4 inch manual, to read twice to understand all the buttons and knobs, as you explained.
I know right? The guy is a total Nimrod. Who does a review and never mentions the model? But hey, that's why he needs YT money to offset his dirt business. Now, YT pays him more than his Dirt Monkey side hustle. Go figure. Lol!
I got to tell you guys i bought 1 Case Cx145 sr and love it. Then bought 2016 Case Backhoe after looking and operating New Holland, John Deere, etc. The case i ended up purchasing. The service from GROFF Tractor formally (Trico) has great service coming out when there are any issues.Now last summer i purchased a brand new New holland which now only has 700 hour had a hose clamp coolant line blow off after 1 hour of operation when purchased new. 700 hrs toaday machine in shop till friday for a hydraulic valve body problem, when i get this back im trading this sucker in.2015 kubota purchased also 2015 ended up i shop 1 time and 2-4 regeneration problems which prevent you from operating thumb if alarm turns on. got question ask me. i spent over 1 million dollars on equipment.
+Bill Dolan I think it was an L180? It was bad for the first 4 years and then finally we got all the bugs fixed. Something like $17,000 in warranty work
Awesome review. I been trying to get a yanmar for a year their customer service is terrible been lied to and gave the run around. Going try get a min case.
Any advice for someone that hasn't run an excavator smaller than a john deere 200? I'm looking to rent a mini excavator for some work on a property of mine but I work in forestry equipment, so everything I run is much bigger, (Komatsu PC400, Cat 350, etc.) Is there anything drastically different I should expect with the mini excavators? Thanks, love the channel BTW.
Machine looks similar to kobelco. Whats the seat like. Been operating a kobelco.3.5 t machine. Dont know if same seat or different. ThTs my one complaint. Sore back a little bit.
Hey Stan! Always like your video. You Know that Case and New Holland is the same thing and I really like new Holland's actually owned buy the Italian Fiat. Really good machines and is telling you a guy with over 20 years of experience on heavy equipment operation. 👍
have you ever used a case 1085C wheeled excavator! My friend used it. It's his first time to use it and When I was spotting for him, I thought it's going to tip sideways! Will it?
hey there, just wanted to let you that the case, new holland and kobelco mini excavators are all the same. same with the new holland skids and case skids. awesome review tho! just makes me want to buy a kobelco
sumitomo is Case & link Belt just different design on interior and exterior in some ways, just look on cab the blue over sea triangle. Hitachi = john deere. etc
If you had to start your business from scratch again, what would be the first piece of large power equipment you would purchase? What skidsteer do you recommend for the residential landscaping business? How about for the residential tree removal business?
+Eden Lawn Care I would purchase a truck, trailer and medium sized skid steer. I prefer Bobcat but have ran all of them and owned many of them. The important thing is the service provider in your area. What shop will that piece of equipment be going to and how they take care of you.
Something that could us Noob dirt movers is to put the nomenclature or advertised name i the title so it would be easier to find, thanks for the great review!
I am also a fan of there mini's and there "midi" size class (the cx75 and 80). But I will say the at 4:45 when he says its at full throttle it was actually at the lowest idle speed. That lever in the back is the idle, and the one in front of it is the blade. If it were at full idle speed then it would have been pushed in the opposite direction. Can't full the people who have the machines.
What size boom would you recommend, medium or long, for best "all around" use? Have you operated the CAT 305.5 E2? I'm wondering how this machine compares.
+Lsatq Medium- it has a good power and balance. I have snapped a boomed on a n excavator-so be careful with the long booms. Never ran that Cat machine 305
57c case is nothing but problems, have it for 3 years and just now my digital screen quit working, guy at case dealership told me this machine is one of the worst
Get a Komatsu, any age, any size. Talk about an eye opener. Always found Case to be a good solid machine, they also make one of the best backhoe/loader on the market. But Komatsu is just unstoppable, a life long love affair for me. But any machine nowadays is good, especially any made in Japan. John Deere are rubbish though and the company should change their name to the Deere John. Make lovely looking machines, but otherwise are fuel guzzling mechanical disasters.
my case 580 super N got 340 hrs on it and having issues with the loader not holding the load, slowly it drops and wont hold unless u pull on the control to stabilize it should of got the extended warranty.
listen im a fan but lets be honest your payed by case so plz say listen im payed by case but there great. i know your honest and wouldnt lie to us but plz be honest i live you channel i hope this dont come across the wrong way. i might be wrong but plz be honest i believe if its the honest truth
have you ever ran or had a takeuchi? I run a tb153fr excavator. I love it. it pulls hard it does everything I ask it to do.
I've run mostly Takeuchi's great machine.
so what model case is this one ?
I'm kind of late, but, its a CX55R. Lol 😃

I am picking up a CX55 tomorrow morning for a week long demo, plan on putting it through the ringer. Solid review, keep up the good work!
+SummitLandscapingLLC Let me know what you think of that one.

Reminds me of my old case backhoe days. Simple but effective
Great review! I work for that dealer in a different area. You should ask the guys about Leica machine control.

Sounds cool😄👍
man thank you for sharing all your videos it's teaching me a lot
I cannot see any reason why CASE would not hook you up with a discount after this review!!! Fun to watch you guys have fun doing what you love, thanks for sharing!!!
+Ring Lawn Care It was great just to test this equipment out! That was awesome!
The new cx57c case excavator is an amazing machine, we use one to clear land and it never fails to impress us everyday, we use it almost everyday and it has an amazing breakout force and like you said, its almost to much power for the machine it is
Awesome review man. Always getting into new equipment, and getting straight to work, don't need a 4 inch manual, to read twice to understand all the buttons and knobs, as you explained.
+djflexmaster79 Exactly- I hate overcomplicated machines and functions that don't really improve the experience-only make for eye candy.
So what model was it? Couldn’t tell from the video and never heard it mentioned?
I know right? The guy is a total Nimrod. Who does a review and never mentions the model? But hey, that's why he needs YT money to offset his dirt business. Now, YT pays him more than his Dirt Monkey side hustle. Go figure. Lol!
Great review ...but cant tell what model it is? Is 8t a CX50B?
THANKS

Bill-one of my new Holland skid steer loaders was a total Lemon just like yours. My Case Equipment on the other hand has been awesome.
What year was new holland and model ? what was wrong ?
+Bill Dolan I think it was an L180? It was bad for the first 4 years and then finally we got all the bugs fixed. Something like $17,000 in warranty work
Jk
Five years later are you still recommending this Case Mini ? Please let me know, I am looking to buy now.
they are made by different companies this one is a kobelco.
Awesome review. I been trying to get a yanmar for a year their customer service is terrible been lied to and gave the run around. Going try get a min case.
Any advice for someone that hasn't run an excavator smaller than a john deere 200?

Thanks, love the channel BTW.
Yeah they are going to be much quicker by comparison and the side swing power is little to none when compared to forestry equipment.
Machine looks similar to kobelco. Whats the seat like. Been operating a kobelco.3.5 t machine. Dont know if same seat or different. ThTs my one complaint. Sore back a little bit.
Does the blade have the float option?
Stan 2hat size machine is this one ?
Hey Stan! Always like your video. You Know that Case and New Holland is the same thing and I really like new Holland's actually owned buy the Italian Fiat. Really good machines and is telling you a guy with over 20 years of experience on heavy equipment operation. 👍
Thanks for watching Frank!
have you ever used a case 1085C wheeled excavator! My friend used it. It's his first time to use it and When I was spotting for him, I thought it's going to tip sideways! Will it?
Have you used any cx33 or cx37 from case? I'm looking at buying and seeing if they're any good?
Case skid steer hand controls = best of the best !
I gave you a Like!👍👌. I have loved it.. I clicked on your advertizing on your page. Good work deserves it!
Beautiful machine
hey there, just wanted to let you that the case, new holland and kobelco mini excavators are all the same. same with the new holland skids and case skids. awesome review tho! just makes me want to buy a kobelco

Can you do a review on trucks? I just bought a 2015 Chevy 3500 HD with a dump bed. It has the 6.0 gas engine. This is the first year plowing with it.
+CapitalandLawns I will. I have a diesel versus Gas video in the planning.
What is the Case model or size of this excavator?
Something that could us Noob dirt movers is to put the nomenclature or advertised name i the title so it would be easier to find, thanks for the great review!
Can you review the cat excavator and the cat skid steer looking to purchase those thanks
I am also a fan of there mini's and there "midi" size class (the cx75 and 80). But I will say the at 4:45 when he says its at full throttle it was actually at the lowest idle speed. That lever in the back is the idle, and the one in front of it is the blade. If it were at full idle speed then it would have been pushed in the opposite direction. Can't full the people who have the machines.
What model of case is this
Any Gehl reviews?
How about a review of Wacker Nueson ST45 track loader & a mini excavator. Maybe even a review of a wheeled excavator.
Did you end up buying the excavator? I would like a comparison of the big 3 backhoes Case 580 vs Cat 420 vs Deere 310
+Primo Landscaping I didn't buy it- only made arrangements to review it for you guys. Backhoe review huh- can do.
What size boom would you recommend, medium or long, for best "all around" use?
Have you operated the CAT 305.5 E2? I'm wondering how this machine compares.
+Lsatq Medium- it has a good power and balance. I have snapped a boomed on a n excavator-so be careful with the long booms. Never ran that Cat machine 305
I would like to see a review on some more snow equipment you use. Good video very informative
+Devin McGrath You got it- I will do some more.
Can you do a review on a cat 242d and a 259 skid loader please?
S usually stands for sport. Guess it unlocks the mini x full potential just like in cars.
Ha maybe😄👍
if you enjoyed the case, you will love an LBX (Link-Belt), since there the same machine.
Cool😄👍
No they aren't, this mini is made by Kobelco not Link Belt. CX75 and up are Sumitomo built.
I'd like to see a takeuchi tl12 review
+William ahrensfield jr Sounds good- I will contact that rep ;)
Have you ever tried a Kubota mini excavator? They are top notch, way better than any i have ever operated including case, deere, cat, and bobcat.
Awesome video lol why did you re-post it?
+J.L. Landscaping and property maintenance I had to change some content so I removed the old one.
All case mini excavators upto 5 ton are made by kobelco that's why they are an awesome machine
😄👍
small case machines are just a new Holland/kobelco
How much is this machine off the lot?
Not sure on the price
Hcan you do a review on a jcb skid loader and an excavator
I sure can!
when
A review on the cat 257D would be great!
+Tyler Katzenmaier I am working on it. I contacted CAT yesterday :)
Please tell me the song name from 5:20 till end of video. Much appreciated
you should do a review on a bobcat e85 mid size
+dumbassgaming79 I will look into that.
i run one in real life they have very good 3 way power
57c case is nothing but problems, have it for 3 years and just now my digital screen quit working, guy at case dealership told me this machine is one of the worst
U left out the most important thing what size is this excavator
Get a Komatsu, any age, any size.
Talk about an eye opener. Always found
Case to be a good solid machine, they
also make one of the best backhoe/loader
on the market. But Komatsu is just
unstoppable, a life long love affair for
me. But any machine nowadays is good,
especially any made in Japan. John Deere
are rubbish though and the company should
change their name to the Deere John. Make
lovely looking machines, but otherwise are
fuel guzzling mechanical disasters.
my case 580 super N got 340 hrs on it and having issues with the loader not holding the load, slowly it drops and wont hold unless u pull on the control to stabilize it should of got the extended warranty.
Try a Kabota
Why the repeat?
+omnimous69 I had to change the original video to correct some content for the review. The old video was removed.
This made my day!!! "It's like my ex-wife, works good with everybody" LOL
+Irish Eyes John is something! Always cracking jokes.
Stanley "Dirt Monkey" Genadek year and model it is
A cub cadet bagger
Deere skid loader and mini excavator.
+jonservice Oh- I love it! I will contact them.
I would take a takeuchi mini over a case mini any day of the week, and I've ran almost everything under the sun.
no auto idle, that's pretty average, why don't you guys wear any hi vis clothing? is there no safety standard in the states?
Case has an auto idle.
New Zealand Earthmover no safety gear required on private property
case skid steere 90xt!
Awesome equipment!
well then you have never ben in kubota
I have
Problem #1 with machine. no hydraulic thumb.
case= can't always start engine.
michael kane Can't Afford Serious Equipment

Case flat out sucks. Worst equipment ive ever operated.
Get it, not in this case.🤣
listen im a fan but lets be honest your payed by case so plz say listen im payed by case but there great. i know your honest and wouldnt lie to us but plz be honest i live you channel i hope this dont come across the wrong way. i might be wrong but plz be honest i believe if its the honest truth
Case has never paid me a dime. I have had amazing experience with their equipment. Owned lots of it and always been rock solid.
