I've seen so many machines just sitting derelict at dealers. Lined up ready for action, but nobody uses them there. It's a shame...like a machine graveyard. Wonderful Marty could 'save' this one and put it to use! 😉
With the millions of worldwide viewers that your channel attracts…I can’t imagine that ALL the equipment companies aren’t fighting each other for the right to send you free equipment.
Hey Marty I’m a plant fitter in the uk have worked on most brands of machines big and small and I can hands down say that Takeuchi is the best mini ex on the market to my knowledge the build quality is unmatched and part prices are reasonable all the operators seem to much prefur them to other machine brands too. When you get 5 minutes take all the small screws out from the dash panels and controll lever grips and grease them as they can be a pain to get out 5 years down the line on the canopy models and keep the shaft that all the controll linkages work though under the floor clean and well lubed as the small bearings on the end can seize and give you sticky pedals after a few years also change the final drive oils every 500h not every 1000 especially of your doing a lot of tracking but there an amazing machine I will be very surprised if you ever need the warranty but like you say it’s nice to have happy digging !
I first watched your video when you converted a dead washing machine into a lifetime supply of free electricity and I hope that your YT work has helped you buy the new excavator - you deserve it !
Must be a welcome change to operate a machine with no slack or slop in the bushings! We all love your stable of well-used iron, but you deserve this - just slip it on like a pair of trainers and go! Outstanding brand, as well!
Mine was the Abandoned Excavator, my jaw hit the floor as soon as he got that excavator up and running. I subscribed immediately and have watched him ever since, has not disappointed me with any of his videos. He deservers all praise 😊😊
It's weird seeing you drive something new, but you deserve it. I never grow tired of your videos, Marty. Your knowledge of machinery, easy going nature and love for your family makes for great content. You are a true gentleman, and I salute you.
Well done Marty you deserve something new for a change. Not that we don’t enjoy you repairing old things it’s just nice to have something new for once…John
Nice score Marty. The first thing I noticed was the swivel bucket and expect it will be a godsend for the seemingly endless track maintenance work you have on your hands. Looking forward to seeing the track work up to the turbine. Thanks for sharing and cheers from across the ditch.
I'm fairly new to diggers and hired one for the first time last week to dig some trenches and some tidy up work at home. Super easy machine to learn on and very versatile. Money well spent mate.
The thing I find the most hilarious/intriguing is watching your equipment, vs your utes on the tracks... I would question taking my F-350 single rear up these trails... A huge part of why I watch! Glad youtube and life.are treating you this well!, but I prefer "pre emissions" everything personally.
This will definitely be the kids new favourite piece of equipment. I bet they'll be excellent operators before they even have a driver's licence...... Leave, Same or Better, Everything Be Kind ☮️🙋🏻♂️
My goodness! I was so surprised to see a machine with fresh paint. Well good luck with the new machine Marty...I'll bet you don't hear that phrase often. You have certainly earned a new machine by saving and refurbishing so many "Old girls" that would have sat and rusted away to nothing. Great video thumbs up.
I would of thought you found an old mini-ex in a forest abandoned and you get it running like a Dream. Bring it home and use it. But for all the old equipment you get up and running , as well as put back to work. You deserve this brand new mini excavator. I am surprised Takeuchi has not seen your channel and given it to you for free. 😂
Fantastic little machines those. Great to see wrapper fresh on the channel and that the channel is doing so well that your able to get stuff like this. 👏❤️
Congratulations, with new you get peace of mind and reliability. You work your machines hard but not recklessly, this machine ought to be a welcome addition to the fleet..☮️
Wow, a new machine. Usually see you dragging home some abandoned equipment and reviving them. Quite a departure from your norm. Congrats on your NEW purchase, nice one!
The grading Bucket on the taco suits this job well ,quite a nice new piece of equipment you deserve it and I know it will serve you well best of luck with
Imagine - Marty T with a brand spanking new machine!! Couldn’t happen to a more deserving man. The love you put into those old machines has come back to you and the machine gods have said ‘Give that man something new!’ Glad to see you have that.
7:39 I've rented a few of these excavators for some small projects around the house. They're pretty decent. Pulls out small stumps and rotted material pretty well.
Congratulations on the new toy. To clean the uphill side of the road, you can rotate 30-40 degrees the arm with respect to the platform and have a better angle of attack of the bucket so that you attack parallel to the road. Thanks for the videos.
Nice machine Marty, now all it needs is a thumb. I love the viteos on rescuing old equipment . cant believe some of the things you go through to retrieve equipment. but at the end the effort was well deserving. take care Brother
Nice piece of equipment Marty, I have always thought that you needed a better access to your turbines. That will be an interesting video, thanks for sharing.
We used this model excavator at the Council works - awesome little machines, especially with the tilt bucket. They do like to throw their tracks once they get a bit worn though.
I hired one of these a couple of years ago, and got the auger with it to do some shed pile holes. The guy showed me somewhere on the software program settings how to slow down the oil feed to the 3rd service. That may be the case with this model too.
...Buying? Who are you and what have you done with Marty? 😅
👽 🤖 🤷♂️
Nah, he buys all the time. It's the "new" that confused me. 😁
lmao
The tetanus must’ve got him
😂😂😂
*_You mean to tell me that for all these years he ain't "bought " a "New" piece of equipment...??!!... Haaaaa...!!!...Ain't no way...!!!..._* 😂😂
I'm so glad you could rescue this machine from the dealer. ❤
😆
I've seen so many machines just sitting derelict at dealers. Lined up ready for action, but nobody uses them there. It's a shame...like a machine graveyard. Wonderful Marty could 'save' this one and put it to use! 😉
It's part of a long project. He's going to abandon it in the trees for 30 years so his kid has something to restore.
@@ncot_tech 😂😂😂😂
@@ncot_tech 🤣🤣🤣
Can't think of anyone more deserving a new piece of equipment more than you Marty.
Totally agreed. The effort and work he's put in it's so good to see him able to get a return on it all.
Amen!
It made me so happy lol 😭😍
With the millions of worldwide viewers that your channel attracts…I can’t imagine that ALL the equipment companies aren’t fighting each other for the right to send you free equipment.
Well said sir
This video has 15k viewers
Well there is a difference between sending a 4000 euro laptop to someone, or a 3000 euro camera, versus a 40 000 euro excavator.
@@gs1100ed just wait
@@gs1100edProbably didn't mean just this video
Good for you Marty. Must be a breath of fresh air to have something new
Bet your son is ga-ga with your well earned acquisition! Best keep the keys in the wall safe. 😂

Thanks for the tip, yes it is a very nice machine to operate, I did a lot of research and couldn't find many bad reviews
The tilt bucket is a game changer 😊
I wonder if he'll put a thumb on it?
Yeah need more info on that
Definitely need a good hydraulic operated thumb if available for this excavator. I don't like the "mechanical" thumb adjusted with a pin.
Is certainly a game changer, especially if you've never had the option 😅
I first watched your video when you converted a dead washing machine into a lifetime supply of free electricity and I hope that your YT work has helped you buy the new excavator - you deserve it !
Thanks mate
holy shit me to, how kool was that!!!
Takeuchi is really good stuff. I had one of their skid loaders and it was great. Never had a problem with it. Enjoy your new machine.
I did a lot of research and couldn't find many complaints
These takeuchi's are still one of the best minis on the market, extremely smooth and quick machines and just a joy to work with
Yes it is fast without being jerky,. Very nice to operate

Good to see that you reward yourself with new machinery 👍😁
What a difference in that road.
Congratulations. All the best from CANADA.
Well, Marty, if anyone deserves to enjoy a bit of new excavator smell it's you.
May this little champ serve you well for decades at least.
Fr 💯😍
Maintaining those roads kinda looks therapeutic in a way. Good buy
Is this click bait?! Was it a scratch and dent discount?! PURE MADNESS!! Seriously though you definitely deserve a new machine!
I remember finding this channel from a search of eel video's. Glad I stuck around. New Zealand is nice and comfy.

Thanks!
Thank you!
Every man should take notes. Marty T is a master of his own universe. Everything he touches becomes better than it was before
Congrats Marty. Cheers from this side! What a sweet machine!

Nice acquisition Marty-you certainly deserve it!
Congrats Marty. I know that lil machine will have a well maintained and never abused life.
Well done Marty you deserve something new for a change. Not that we don’t enjoy you repairing old things it’s just nice to have something new for once…John
Glad you finally got new. But I do love the repair videos too.
Nice to have new things sometimes. You kiwis love your takeuchi's!
They really are damn good machines.
Takeuchi are to compact excavators like Sony is to portable CD players, the OG
Europe/scandinavia loves takeuchi too. They are top of the line, user friendly and hold the value!
Great video. Love to see you make the track to the turbine.!
Thanks mate
There is nothing like a new Takeuchi. That machine will likely outlive us both.
The grading bucket with tilt is so useful
Good choice Marty. I have found Takeuchi are easy on operators , very capable and reliable strong workhorses that punch above their weight.
Marty,
Very cool handy machine. The operator did a nice job as well. Thanks, Boe

Wow, that is Sweeeeeet! You have earned that. I have watched you cobb together broken machines for years., it is nice to run a new machine!
Great job renovating this excavator. You did such a great job that it looks like new.
Can't wait to see the Mrs. take a turn. It's hard not to smile when you run a miniex.
Nice buy, Marty.

A huge part of why I watch!
Glad youtube and life.are treating you this well!, but I prefer "pre emissions" everything personally.
I'm impressed by the small size. No more raking leaves forever!
Nice to see you with a new piece of gear. Taking it home and going right to work without having to sort the issues which parked it so long ago.
Sweet little rig, and with the tilting grading bucket! Great for road and ditch maintenance.
This will definitely be the kids new favourite piece of equipment.
I bet they'll be excellent operators before they even have a driver's licence......
Leave, Same or Better, Everything
Be Kind
☮️🙋🏻♂️
May it run long and strong for many years.
Congrats on the new excavator, Marty! It looks like just the right tool for maintaining your roads, etc. Enjoy!
Excevator footage in time laps always looks so cute
What a lucky little Takeuchi! It's gonna be used as intended, and maintained so well
My goodness! I was so surprised to see a machine with fresh paint. Well good luck with the new machine Marty...I'll bet you don't hear that phrase often.

Congratz. The rotor tilt is a handy thing ☺
The new machine is a beauty! Good luck with it.
7:39 I've rented a few of these excavators for some small projects around the house. They're pretty decent. Pulls out small stumps and rotted material pretty well.
Hello Marty. Congratulations on the new buy. I do enjoy watching you take an older machine and bringing it back to life. Have good days!
Glad to see you treat yourself to this little gem Marty, with your attention to maintenance, I have no doubt it will last generations. Enjoy! ;)
Nice piece of equipment. Seeing you on something brand new is different but it sounds like it was a good deal. I'm glad you got it.
Its awesome to see you with some new stuff you work so hard good job
Congrats on the purchase! Well deserved.
Congratulations! Looks like it will be with you for a long time. It will be nice to have the right machine for the work you want to do!
I was kind of thinking....new, well that's good. Hope you enjoy the excavator, well done.

So stoked for you Marty, That clean up bucket is just the ticket, and then I saw it was a tilt bucket. You will be set mate. Very nice machine.
Love it!!
Moves my soul to see you "treat" yourself to a new machine ❤️❤️🥰
OMG. Something NEW in the parking lot!
This one will go in the shed ;)
Nice piece of equipment Marty, I have always thought that you needed a better access to your turbines. That will be an interesting video, thanks for sharing.
Congratulations! Must be a great feeling operating nice new reliable machine!
Good for you! That little machine is perfect for the narrow tracks around the mountainside. Enjoy the rest of your week.
Nice purchase….good solid machines, I’ve use a 14 tonner in the past, great bit of kit, very reliable 👍👌🇮🇲
We used this model excavator at the Council works - awesome little machines, especially with the tilt bucket. They do like to throw their tracks once they get a bit worn though.
You are an "Ace" at everything that you do! Fantastic Marty!!!!
That brand is very popular in the states--Very well made and last a long while !! Good purchase !!!
Nice machine, You earned it!! The tilt bucket is really nice!
They make a truly great skidsteer . Good luck with it !
Mazel Tov Marty. May your new machine bring you happiness and joy!
To be fair,Takeuchi machines run very nice.we had 3 ton in our hire fleet,nice roomy and quiet cabs and traveled along right smoothly
Dude this is some top quality digger ASMR, thank you 🙌
Very satisfying and relaxing road maintenance. On a new guy no less! Nice.
I hired one of these a couple of years ago, and got the auger with it to do some shed pile holes. The guy showed me somewhere on the software program settings how to slow down the oil feed to the 3rd service. That may be the case with this model too.
Marty, I not used to seeing you operate a brand new mini excavator! Best of luck on that shiny new digger.
A new excavator doesn't need repairs. But there's plenty of ways to modify it. Congrats on the new purchase.💪
Happy to see you get this new piece of equipment Marty! It looks like a very useful addition to your fleet. Cheers!
Marty... new stuff.... I love to see you work the oldies
