Watching your videos as searching for ideas on using and review of mt100. Just got mine delivered here in Los Angeles. Thanks for sharing your experience
Congrats 😎👊👊
Just picked up a used MT85...love it so far!! Your videos were a big help with deciding to get a mini skid.
Awesome!! Congrats!
Love watching because you have the most mt100 footage on youtube!
Thanks brother
Yea his the reason why I even know about it. I saw when he first got it.
The tracks are not hard to tighten. They have a adjustment bolt. The tracks are only coming off because they are not tight enough.
False track can pop off riding on uneven terrain. Going over broken concrete.
Nice review stud - enjoy the day!
You too brother
Hey James, picked one up used with 300 hrs. They are going used for more than new...about 6 grand. They are really hard for Bobcat to get in. Had an order from Nov 2021 was supposed to be in this month but dealer said maybe not till Aug now. So had to jump on a used one (which move fast). Now waiting on attachments (trench, stump grinder) . Rest will come when biz starts making money. Keep up the vlogs, great inspiration! Thx!
Congrats man! 😎👊👊
@@JamesMoVlogs Thx bro! 👊👊
If you search MT 100 on TH-cam your channel is the first one to come up that's bad ass bro I need to get on your level
Thanks brother!
Can’t wait to get my hands on one of these!
Heck yeah
They’re handy for sure. I just don’t like how loud the hydraulic drive is. Real whiney. Other than that great machine. I have a 2021 55hrs now.
I do tree work with one of these and it’s a beast. Those counterweights can be moved to the back btw. Only complaint we had was the hydraulic lines on the inside rub into each other and we blew a hose that way from all the friction. It’s fun doing wheelies with it too
That’s awesome 😎👊👊
We also have one for tree work, use the grapple but wish we would have gotten a claw. Also think the hydraulic lines need to be different.
Getting one in a few weeks to go off on my own. Jumping off the deep end , and your information has been a real help man. Nice mullet 😂
Nice! How much are you paying for the machine?
@@jrush5907 I’m still shopping around. Waiting for my llc papers to come back so I can get serious in negotiations. Looking like with the attachments I want; somewhere in the neighborhood of ~$50k
@@tylerbryant4373 I was 52k otd with all my attachments 😎👊
@@JamesMoVlogs I’m copying your attachments 😂
@@tylerbryant4373 I paid 35000 with tax and only a tooth bucket. I already had several attachments I didn’t want to buy again from my ditch witch. I also opted for the common industry interface. So it’s like a toro Vermeer ditch witch.
I enjoy this content
I have the same machine with 350 hours on it. It’s a beast for landscape and Hardscape work. Only problem I’ve had is the tilt cylinder bushing seem to be wore out already they have quite a bit of play..Seem like from the video yours has play in them as well, Mine have been greased every eight hours just like every other bushing on the machine.
I have about 50 breaker hours on it so bushings will be on the shelf in my garage soon lol
In the U.K🇬🇧 MT100 is not available yet so I hire MT55. I think the MT55 is awesome but the only think that lets it down is the speed and power of the stump grinder. What do you think of the MT100 on the stump grinder? Have you got a video of it working? Many thanks Harry from Fife Scotland 🏴
Love your Videos! I would love to see your opinion on how the new Bobcat L28 would compare... 1,500 rated capacity, 3000lbs tipping load but is ten inches wider that the mt100. The wheels would not tear up yards as bad and would last much longer vs tracks on paved surfaces. I am honestly between these two machines they essentially can run the same attachments doing the same job. The mini wheel loaders are popular in Europe but here they are foreign and not many have experience.
Depends on the job application. I use the mt100 for trenching, stump grinding, concrete demo, post holes everything it does everything fine but not great. It’s a small machine which gets anywhere I need to in real tight spaces the L28 next to houses and trying to get out of some situations will be crazy
Any reviews on the orange grapple attachment?
You can unbolt those counterweights on the bottom. And move them the rear section you pointed at.
Yeah but I just bought more weight 👍
Hi James, Awesome video! Any recommendations or cautions in buying a used MT100. How many hours is too many for a machine like this?
I’ve seen a few north of 2000 hours still running strong. They have a Kubota motor that is pretty stout. 😎👊 I’m at 760 and awesome unit
I’m from MN and last year was my first season running my business, and right now I’m wanting to buy one of these. I got a quote for $33,700 and June delivery. A machine like this would be invaluable. Hopefully I can get approved for the loan!
Call Riley Ness at Lano equipment in MN.
I just received my Mt100 from him and he said they had an extra one that came in. He just called me this past week to see if I knew anyone that wanted to buy it.
Small world!
Heck yeah
@@Demoman973 Really cool connection on here if they can make that transaction happen!
@@JamesMoVlogs especially since I’m in Southern California. I had it shipped from that dealer in MN here to me in California.
Would you use this on a gravel path installation - roughly 9 cubic yards of material? Deciding between this and the L28 for a rental. Could either fit this in a shorter distance or the L28 at 3x the distance around the house. But I feel this would take too long.
it would take me 20 minutes to spread 9 yards
I welded The Parking Brake got tired of always getting stuck😂
Yeah it’s annoying jerking it back and forth fighting it lol
Hey man is the tilt deck trailer able to be locked and used like a normal flat deck?
Yes absolutely
Question, what's the most profitable job that you come across with the mini skidsteer? Is it concrete removal? Trenching? Just curious
Just machine alone trenching
@@JamesMoVlogs thank you for the quick response!
I dont know if its been asked, but it would be cool to see a break down of fuel costs for the 300 hours on this and possibly the big boy... also thank you for the updates like this, i've been looking into getting one of these more so than a 10k CTL. Keep on keeping on!!
😎👊👊
He has said in past videos it sips fuel. So it’s very fuel efficient
Did you try any concrete mixer attachment with your MT100?
Nope I have a mud mixer machine that I use
I got a ditch witch 40hp . 1,000 hours never one problem work horse also!
That's awesome looking forward to operating a Ditch witch see what its all about!
Super Bowl weekend and wearing a short sleeve and shorts. That’s crazy
San Diego lol
Are you guys paying MSRP for these? Currently on the market for one, but not sure what people are paying.
Prices are absolutely insane on mini skids now this machine was 28-29k 16 months ago now people want 35-45k 😮😮
@@JamesMoVlogs got a quote for one at a Bobcat dealer last week and it's 38k here.
Edit: also a 3-4 month wait for it to come in.
@@JeseMdeO sounds about right… sucks
Running a stump grinder all day, wide open throttle---- does the hydraulic oil get hot?
Never gets hot
10 dollar hooked in the land, what's up my guy?
😎👍
Ive had to put a track back on 3 times a real pain in the ass fix dont be in a rush 1st time took 45min and happened at a customer’s house and had to borrow his tools😀 After 3 times and a year owning I know now what angle the tracks come off and just dont do that now. Also running over rocks in the woods I would say stay away its a track thrower for sure! Im dealing with it running hot now and not looking forward to taking to bobcat and not having for 2 weeks. Hopefully nothing serious cause im at 173 hours now
Also dont buy the log grapple with the orange claws it was designed poorly and the hoses get pinched and bust. Bobcat dealer even said poor design hoses are not heavy duty like on my bushmaster bush hog attachment
Keep me posted on what the dealer says your not the first to mention it running hot
@@JamesMoVlogs Mine is right around your hours too and was running hot, noticed its losing coolant slowly but no obvious leaks. What did they tell you?

@@user-wc9ok8hr4m they said it may need radiator flushed but with only being a year old I doubt it. It has since not done it since then so maybe something was clogged in radiator tubing 🤔
can you do one on maintenance?
No because last time I did first maintenance I was swearing the whole time… you need to have tiny hands to work on this sucker it sucks
What Diesel Cans do you use?
The VP cans for quick stuff I have a 118 gallon transfer tank I use as well
Hey James, I would be interested in your comments on Kubota's SCL1000. Not sure if you have had anything to do with one but it would be good to know your thoughts compared to your MT100. Cheers from down the bottom of the planet in New Zealand
Same motor, and I still to this day can’t find a SCL1000. Supply and demand wasn’t going to wait for a machine. 😎👍
Ha, interesting. I rang my deal here to ask about the SCL1000 and his answer was "what is it". If you guys can't get them we don't stand a chance down at the arse end of the pacific. Thanks for the reply
Can you operate the machine without having to be on the platform?
Yup
Thanks… That made my decision a whole lot easier!
@@rileycheeks4758 😎👊
Are your machine 35.6 inches wide?
Yes
How does it do on hills
great
Bro you’re supposed to switch the weight to rear when lifting heavy and keep it in front when digging.
I’ll just add them to the rear.. not gunna switch weights around every 10 minutes for a different task..
@@JamesMoVlogs I also have one. I don’t switch either but if you needed a counter weights for a certain task you could move them to the back like hauling your pallets of sod to the back… it only takes 5m with an impact..
@@terryburgess6637 I’m just gunna add more to the machine..
@@JamesMoVlogs gotcha.
We have owned the mt52 55 85 and the 100 never again the biggest pieces of shit bobcat ever produced.We own a rental company .We converted all to ditch witch
You can’t say biggest pieces of shit and then say we own a rental company. It’s all in how you take care of the machine
@@JamesMoVlogs over the course of 10 years we have owned about 10 Mt machines and every single machine had service every single day it went out from washing to greasing to repairing.The undercarriage of all the Mt brands are a joke grease every single roller every single day and we still ended putting in thousands into the units.The mt100 seemed to be a little better with the sealed rollers but undercarriage still a problem with these machines.We swapped over to the ditch witch SK models and have never been happier.Ditch witch undercarriage is light years ahead of bobcat.also the tensioning on the ditch witch is a lot better than the screw type on the Mt brands.speed no comparison the Mt feels like a turtle after owning a ditch witch.And also look how strong the machine is built especially the arms.bobcat has a long way to go in the Mt market
@@jrac863 what's the Ditch Witch equivalent to the MT100?
Looking for a small size skid steer for residential work.
