I’m looking into a 2TS-7T in the spring, thanks for these videos you’ve helped me out a lot already. Never owned a skid before and I think it will take us to the next level
Love the JCB brand they think out of the box , I know they have some draw backs but over all I think I would still rather have one than any other brand !
How is JCBs service department? I think talking about how reliable a companies parts availability and customer service is equally important. What experiences do you have with JCB in that aspect. I could have missed it in your review. Thank you for taking the time to review the equipment it is very helpful information.
You can "tune" your 74HP 3TS-8T to 99 HP with a $1,400 engine tuning tool from GPT Consulting. It plugs into your ECU and downloads a reflash of the code bed. The engine is intentionally detuned down to 74HP by JCB to meet the USA maximum HP requirement of 74HP to avoid the need to have a DEF system.
With the 74hp you have the same lift capacity as many other machines that are using DEF and having to regen. In my experience selling these units I have customers try them out and see if they really need that extra HP. I still haven't had one say the 74 wasn't enough. Unless you are doing heavy mulching, you dont need anything more than 74. We ran 25, and 50hp skidders for decades with zero issues.
@@rportugal89 not talking about lift capacity. plowing up hill and pushing dirt pile is where you have the engine issues. Would love if it was 100 hp. But yes no def is nice.
Not sure why but jcb mounts a single flange track roller in front, that's what causes vibration when carrying heavy loads. All other manufacturers except for case have triple in front. Roller rides on rubber part of track instead of steel inbead
I agree wheeled 270 and 3tsw have enough power to weight ratio. 3ts track needs more power. Demoed 2ts had enough power but it was tippy and hard to grade with .
Yes and I will probably be getting it! But I can tell you right now it won’t be as good with a dozer as cat, kubota, new Holland or Deere because they all have big 95+ hp engines with there 12,500 lb machines.
I’ve been watching lots of review videos on JCB teleskids - I’m hoping to buy a track skid in a year or two, and it seems like a good fit for my work. It is probably a silly question, but does the machine have a float feature? I would just assume it has the ability to float… but no one has mentioned it in any videos, so I’m wondering if that isn’t a stock feature?? Thanks for the review, very helpful!
Does anyone have any experience using these in less than stable/tough conditions? I'm looking at this and an ASV 75HD. Both have their pro's and con's. I'm leaning to this, but I'm concerned about it's ability to operate in deep snow/woods/mud and slight hillsides. ASV's seem to have no problems. I'm located in North Central MN.
I would like to say this to help you if you got it slow your camera down you’re twisting and turning on everything else and it’s making people dizzy. I’m enjoying what you’re having to say about that tractors because I’m interested in it, but I can’t watch it because you’re moving the camera too fast

defintly will they can get a lot of work done fast
Love my 2023 3T teleskid, real game changer for how a skidsteer should be designed.
Sure is glad to hear that you like it!!
Love mine. Can’t live without it
Same here!

Thank you sounds like we agree!!
There are aftermarket ECU tunes out there for the Eco Max engine that will add 25hp, 😊
Woah….. really!? Can you send me a link?
@@tandtlandscapeandmasonry look up a company called gpt-consulting, 😎
Is there any tunes for the 215t kohler?
ECU tunes? Do you have a link for this? I would love to check it out. I have a 3t teleskid.
@@nathaniellyon4855 hey Nathan , last I saw, a company called gpt-consulting made them
Thanks for sharing your experience with Teleskid!
No problem!
@@tandtlandscapeandmasonry We don’t have them in India yet; hope to see them soon so that I can review it for people over here!

@@dustup2249 ik. I will be definitely doing that once the warranty is up

Wish they didn’t do that

Can you get the grader attachment for the 3's ? Like Cat has.

@tandtlandscapeandmasonry still trying to decide which skidsteer is best
@@dougferguson5581 really depends what u use it for

Not a bad question yes they do have float! Right joystick bottom button on the top side. Believe it or not I have Never even tried it
yes float and ride control, for smooth rides
Blue locktite on those latch threads done.
115k and they still cant get the f*cking door latch right
At least it is on the side
I am interested in this machine .. is it all hand controls ?
Yes iso
@@tandtlandscapeandmasonry thank you

Asv is pretty hard to beat in the woods. This is good for landscaping, hardscaping and snow plowing
Is it 2022? 21?
22
Cost?
Shitload…. 112k
Yeah they aren't cheap. Eye popping 118k here last I looked

@@dandannels8821 thanks for the advice I’ll work on that
If you own the machine. Own the trailer. Own the truck. You do not need a "class A".
Being over 26k you need a class a.
Tell that to rv owners or farmers. If its not commercial no cdl. They try to give you a hard time but lose in court.
I knew was something wrong with this machines😂
