that man works so hard time and time again thru injury no matter what jus flat out works. so happy to see him happy ina diesel i was the exact same way. good job stan taking care of the ones who take care of you! sweet video
Alex has come a long way since I first started following your channel Stan. He was always quiet and not sure of himself, and now he's become quite the mechanic and more elaborative.....is that even a word? Thumbs up!
Stan has the best guys man, I think it’s because Stan is a stand up guy of guy they all seem like they absolutely love there job which is what you want
I'm so very happy to see you rewarding your hard-working & loyal crew members with new tools like this. Good job, Axle & Congratulations on the new truck.
Alex will treat that truck as his own lil babby for sure stan. I see that in him. Ive seen that many times. You get emploey his own equipment .speacial to what they want. It becomes a part of them. Just like family.
Exactly why I was surprised a guy running an excavation company has never seen an exhaust brake on a pickup 😂. Been on the dodges 15 years, ford's 7 years, Chevys for like 12 years
@@devvoid1312 haha i thought the SAME exact thing and not in a bad way towards Stan i was just surprised he’s never seen it before especially since he owns a few dodges
John deere 333g very rarely see these in the shop where I work at. Also congrats to Alex on his new truck. Would love to have an old school 4x4 shift in a newer truck.
You’ve really crafted a great team of guys. I would give anything to find a company like yours to work for. Hope those guys know how lucky they are to be working with you.
For the best visibility in skidsteers, I suggest you test out a JCB. Possibly the Telehandler model which can pile snow up far further and higher. The JCB also has a side door, so no climbing over the plough linkage.
He’s not going to do that I agree with you but jcb make all Volvo skid steers because Volvo doesn’t care about the skid steer market at all and volvo doesn’t enforce quality control on jcb (kinda like the Chevy vs Gmc quality control) or stock parts so for it so it became a hated piece of equipment in his company because of breakdowns and maintenance
I have a 2017 f250 6.7 and I love it. The only aftermarket part you need to install on that truck is the s&s disaster prevention fuel pump bypass. If the high pressure fuel goes out on that truck it will send metal through the hole fuel system.
Been a Cat man for over 20 years, and they are the very best in my opinion. Power, dealer back up, and ability to take abuse and keep running make all the difference. Branding doesn't matter when the job needs to be done. Cat typically outperforms everybody. Price is typically higher than off brands but try to fix them when they're broken. The best value for the dollar come from a more expensive machine's performance in the long run. Parts price can be prohibitive to some contractors, but longevity in the long run can make a difference.
All the new trucks have the exhaust brake feature I think. Some work better than others. I have a 2020 Denali and it works great with or without a load behind me. Damn space ship, so many buttons!
I get cold just watching. Love the new truck. Down time is a real expense. Glad you have the ability to repair the lines with your crew. Having that fixed by an outside source would really hurt the pocketbook. Good to see there is good employees still willing to work hard and long hours.I like the ASVS due to visibility but the over all performance and cost might be a factor. Still waiting for our fist measurable snow In Topeka Ks.
Cat makes a debris guard kit that covers the hoses going to the finals, it’s a must have. The reason they’re exposed is to be the flex point going to the suspended undercarriage
Hey Stan you should look at the case Minotaur way overkill for your applications but it’s a very impressive machine. My vote is for a takeuchi very nice machines and very simple.
We have a 325G John Deere, we use it to push chicken litter, bushhog, and do other small things around the farm and I love it, but we don't have very cold weather or snow so don't know how they work in snow.
Not to be pedantic, but technically not a Jake brake. Jake brakes float the exhaust valves to interrupt the combustion process. This truck has an exhaust brake, which is a butterfly similar to the throttle body of a gasser behind the turbo in the done pipe, which restricts exhaust gas from exiting the engine / turbo, effectively slowing the engine down. Super cool tech regardless. I'm not much of a truck dude, but I've towed a few things in my life. By far the biggest and heaviest thing I ever towed was a 26 foot enclosed race trailer behind a friend's 2014 chevy 2500hd. This truck had an exhaust brake, the Allison 5 speed with transmission braking, and trailer brakes. Was exiting interstate 70 at 75mph, signaled, lifted off the throttle and by the time I was at the end of the ramp for the traffic light, the truck had stopped itself without me doing anything. Was an amazing towing experience, and no heavy duty work truck should be any different, in a perfect world. Congrats on the diesel, Alex. Super nice truck you got there. Thanks for sharing, Stan.
we run all Takeuchi machines, there track loaders are great try one out you will like them.Good luck with the new ford diesel.The exhaust brakes on the diesels are a game changer !
I work for Ziegler the drive hoses have always been a problem so Ziegler made there own upgrade one were we put a other thicker hose over top to help with the rubbing. I don’t know if you guys went that way but Ziegler does have the upgrade. Have had quite a few machine have zero issues afrer
I have a new CAT skid 239D3 machine. So far after 2 years love it and they do have that hole plugged up now with a rubber blocker plate that stops the hoses from rubbing too. I’m a CAT guy but then again my area they are the closest dealer to me out of any of the brands and that’s still a 3 hour drive for me. Any other dealer is a 4 plus hour drive so I unfortunately don’t have much choice in brands.
The 2011 Chevy’s started having exhaust brake. Cummins pickups had exhaust brakes for awhile. I will say Alex needs to turn the exhaust brake on whenever driving the truck not just for trailering. So hey in the truck, hit the button, make it a habit! It keeps the vanes in the variable geometry turbo moving otherwise they stick and you have to replace the turbo sooner than later.
Before they built the swing wing blades there was a guy building back blades like that snow pusher in the 80's, with the extendable wings. Wasn't the best, sure they got it figured out though.
Awesomesauce video Stan. Congratulations Alex on that new Powerstroke! No worries Stan, I was right there when you said, "I have never heard of a Jake Brake on a pickup." It's about damn time.
The exhaust brake on the Ford, in effect does the same as a Jake brake, but isn't a Jake Brake. Jake brakes use the compression in the engine to slow its rotation. Exhaust brakes basically plug the exhaust.
If your going to plow with that make sure you have a dealer turn on manual regen and dpf % if the emission equipment are on the truck. Also my friend has had a really good experience with his bobcat equipment for his excavation business.
I love all your videos, this pass snow storm in New York I lost my only plow truck and because we haven't had much snow in the area I live in western NY, I don't know what I am going to do to finish the season out. But I like what you do and find it inspirational.
Stan I would love to see you run a deere 325g. It would probably be you new favorite machine. They are unmatched in power compared to other brands and are not so stupid designed like that cats hoses are!
I'm a john deere fan. They r way over powered. I'm never asking for more power. I'm more asking for more weight. Lol Is that new diesel Alex's personal truck or it is a company truck
Alex stan dont use that engine brake / jake break when on ice .or slick surfaces. It will send you into a slide or jack knife you. Just old truck driver lettin you know
Yep that transfer case is the best idea because you don't have to worry where is it not working the switch the fuse the other fused or the motor in the transfer case or do I have a wire broke somewhere
Stan, im very curios as to why you dont run deere skid steers or mini loaders? I see you have a CAT that had another busted line, have you considered at least trying a deere skid steer or mini loader? If not why?
I've run alot of different skid steers and have found they all have their problems. Track loaders are more maintenance intense than their wheeled brothers. Some guys get hung up on brand loyalty, which isn't a bad thing because they get very familiar with the equipment. Familiarity helps with maintenance and repairs. Not having to have a service truck come out because you can do your own work saves money, as long as it is done right. Personally, I run New Holland because I am very familiar with the product. Is it better than other machines? Not really. I prefer the ergonomics of the CAT and ASV. My thought is run what keeps you productive and as comfortable as possible. I still use my old LX885 on occasion because I know that thing inside and out, have replacement parts on the shelf and it has been very reliable.
We have an older Case 75xt and I love that skid loader! It is a wheeled machine but I do prefer wheels, at least for my application on the farm. The hoses are a lot simpler than that caterpillar and it seems to be a well-built solid machine. I will never buy anything other than Case, as of now.
I'm excited to see you review this Ford diesel. I hope you you have success with it. We use them at my job and they have held up under some real abuse.
Stan if you ever get in that 6.7 you will totally fall in love with it they are amazing motors and I'm not a fan of all the epa crap on them but ford did a great job . The cat 289 blowing hoses is totally neglect from the previous owner , ours has 3000 hours and only 1 hose has ever blown on it , it was the small one that is for the hydraulic quick attack , it was a super easy fix down for maybe an hour......I think you are forgetting the ford backhoe when you're saying that cat has blown the most hoses 😆🤣😂
All trucks with vgt style turbos have exhaust brakes. 03-10 & 16+ fords have them but the turbo design in the early 6.7’s didn’t allow for them. In the earlier trucks it automatically engages in tow/haul but the newer trucks have the button. That’s for all 3 brands
@@johndeereboy1998 I think you should double check your information. The only thing they share is the center section, literally everything else is different.
@@psdleach that's what I'm referring to my dude. The cartridge is the same for the gt37 across the board. Only difference is the covers and pedestals. Wheels, bearings/bushings, and nearly everything else is the same. Including the vane cage and vanes, depending on the exhaust housing size.
@@psdleach the cartridge makes the turbo. A 3788 is a 3788. Just like a s300 framed turbo is an s300. The cartridges are the same. You tell me how this is relevant, you replied to me trying to correct me. Fords have the button from 2015. Not 16, not 14. 2015, with the gt3788. Duramax from 2011 and ram from 2007. Ironically, ford used the same turbo as a Duramax, the gt3788. It's the same frame, with different covers. Go look up a 10 blade turbine and 6+6 compressor from a Duramax and then a Ford, same P/N. I daily drive one
Wow that's really cool. Since my daughter passed away I have been just watching you guys work. I really don't like to play in the with you guys but I sure miss you guys. Alex that's great to see you get what you work for. Dirt monkey's I am glad to see you prosper
Bought the same skid steer but brand new in 2021, CAT did fix the hydraulic line glory hole issue witch is great. Zero dirt can get in there and the lines are nicely held in place. absolutely love the machine . I do find my self relying on the back up camera alot (I do commercial site work so always working in tight areas) unfortunately the back up camera only comes on 80% of the time .. and i always thought other skid steers had much better backwards visibility. othe then that absolutely love it , never ran a higher quality skid that performs on point 8hrs a day every day. Seems everything you don't like about your year cat has been improved! If you grab another skid steer go cat and get the cva service package. It'll be considered a cat certified used piece come time to trade it in . The send all the maintenance parts to your front door when the machine rolls a certain amount of hours.
Also found the cat 259d3 is the top pick when it comes to fincese work in a skiddy. Others are great as well at moving dirt and running strong . But the cat is top dog when it comes to finceseing grades when forward grading vs just backdragging. Its bites and holds its ground and is super smooth .
Just an idea on stopping mud from getting into the hose area on the cat Try using foam like the dirt bike racers use around suspension stuff the foam in the hole and it will be easy to remove when you need to and won’t stop hoses from moving.
I had a 2013 f250 with a 6.7 and it was hands down one of the toughest and most efficient pickups I've ever had and the most comfortable

Dirt Perfect has thrown Kubota in the trash can, same issues with buried hoses, He is demoing a Case I believe that is a beast.
Ever check the pressure relief valve. it is possible the prior owner cranked it up. causing extra stress on the lines.
I love my Cat 259 track machine we have 2 of them bought new they have 300 hours used hardscaping and Snow plowing
Manual locking hubs and an actual lever for 4x4. They're learning.
I’d position the hoses just right and spray foam them in place. It’d be a bear to replace. But you can always cut out the spray foam and replace it

My 2020 Silverado has the exhaust brake. I love it, especially when I'm towing my trailer.
Just an idea on stopping mud from getting into the hose area on the cat
Try using foam like the dirt bike racers use around suspension stuff the foam in the hole and it will be easy to remove when you need to and won’t stop hoses from moving.
Bobcat makes a good Skid-Steer
Sweet plow!
See if different companies will let you be a tester for their new and upcoming skid steers !!!
Stan now you have to get a 2020+ alumiduty with a 6.7 and the diesels will get you back to diesels.
