  • A quick walk around of my new Takeuchi TB260! Finally after 3 months the excavator is ready, I briefly go over some of the features and buckets I got. I am planning on doing a more in depth video after I run it for a bit. I'm very impressed with machine, it's quick and smooth and has tons of power. Very excited about this, it's my first brand new equipment purchase. Thanks for watching! #EliteEarthworks #Takeuchi #TakeuchiTB260

    I can definitely tell that this excavator has got a little bit more power to it. It is actually a little higher pitch than your other one. It seems like a nice excavator. I still got to work on finding me a new RC one because the one that I showed in the video in January lost all four of it’s hydraulic hoses and I don’t think I can get it fixed.

    Congrats on the 260, and you stumbled on a Great Truth; when a guy spends a lot of time on older, looser, semi-worn out equipment, getting into a new, tight machine makes the whole day a breeze. My '99 KX161 is fairly tight for it's age, but when I jumped into a new Gehl Z80 and JD160G last year to help friends out, my work looked above my actual skill level. Cutting/leveling grade and a level trench was a lot easier, more fine control, of course ergos and cab vis better. Finger actuated thumb control made brush clearing and moving objects so much easier/quicker than my foot control.
    At the end of the day, tho, my Kubota is still getting the job done and best of all, paid for, Tier 2 and I can work on the thing when I'm out in the sticks.

    Very nice machine. Once you own machine with a hydraulic coupler you will never go back to a mechanical. It is hard to tell for sure but it doesn't look like there is any hose guard on your 2 coupler hoses that run from the block to the coupler. If there isn't I would recommend getting some on those asap.

    • @eliteearthworksllc
      @eliteearthworksllc  5 ปีที่แล้ว

    • @natewarner392
      @natewarner392 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Elite Earthworks LLC I would just use nylon hose guard on those. On my machine they seem to rub against the cylinder rod and bucket linkage as the rod becomes fully retracted with the bucket in the dump position. They don't rub anything very hard but over time it can become an issue.

      That's awesome that you get a 3 year warranty. Ya I've heard that Case had the 3 year 3,000 hour warranty too, I think most of the others only had like a 2,000 hour warranty the last time I checked. It's crazy that construction equipment only has a 2 to 3 thousand hour or 2 to 3 year warranty but farm tractors that get their guts worked out pulling heavy implements their whole life get a 5 year 5,000 hour warranty. And matching equipment does look nice. Isn't it about time to trade your little loader in now?? ;-)
