I went through the same exact hunt and search a few months ago...Sorry to say you missed out on the best one of them all! Takeuchi TL12 (either V2 or R2) hands down beats them all in every category. When I finally tested the TL12V2 after testing the other ones my spreadsheet got completely lop sided. No contest, it was the clear winner. I have had it for 6 months now and couldn't be happier. I have thrown every job at it and it handles it with no effort. CAT & CASE have no cabin room, Kubota technology is stuck in the 1990s, ASV tracks/suspension is too flimsy, Deere price/performance doesn't add up, JCB missing power for real work.
I'm so proud you bought a JCB, their factory is located approximately 20miles from my home. Joseph Cyril Bamford (JCB) started the company in Uttoxeter Staffordshire in 1945 and invented the backhoe loader In 1953. They've done quite well since. They do a lot of engineering training of young people which is admirable. ...and now they have a tiny little outpost in Iowa!
When I saw the title I immediately said JCB. It’s just so easy to get in and out for your cemetery work and the visibility around the stones is also second to none.
The hydraulic hose you were concerned about being busted is actually an electric wire. Deere uses an electric system to connect and disconnect attachments instead of hydraulic like most companies. They just use a super thick protector sleeve that makes it look like a hydraulic hose. Just wanted to let you know I learned that from a video I watched and thought that was super cool!
I'm watching you just North of New Orleans on my phone, sittingin frontif a fan using generators. Having all the essentials except electricity. I enjoyed the little escape to Iowa. Grew up most of my younger years there. I would ask that you pray for others who have it much worse than I do. 🙏
Hi Cornstar Family. We are praying and sending get well wishes for Momma and Daddy Cornstar as well as Nave and her family. Please keep us updated as you and your family along with Nave and her family are so loved by so many.
Great stout machine just to many problems with the def system on them and to work on them costs so much because it’s pretty much dealer proof I work on them and they are a pain ! But a very nice loader
@@jake34578 it's the same engine, emissions etc as used in several different machines including the Cat. Tak is still probably the best value, and one of if not the strongest machine out. Anything newer is going to have electronics though, just the way she goes.
A tl12 would be way kout of the spectrum compared to the skids he tested in the video. I agree though, Takeuchi and kubota are my top 2.. we do landscaping and currently have svl75 but have also had a tl8.
A majority of the rental companies out here use take's. Strong and durable, they tend hold up to the abuse of inexperienced operators day in and day out.
@@ITubeTooInc , we heard it from Cole on his Instagram, and Summer has been giving a nightly update. I know this video is a day old now, and DC had a little appearance at the end of todays video (Sunday) which was great to see him :) Summer updated tonight (Sunday night) they were hopeful he'd be home tomorrow.
Nothing beats having a great relationship with your dealer. If a dealer supports his equipment and is there when you need them and go out of their way to keep you up and running, that’s the one you deal with. Chances are, if the machine goes down, they’ll even give you a loaner if you’re in a bind.
My Bobcat T 870 is the best I've ever owned. I've had Cat, JCB, Deere, and other Bobcats. The T 870 is hands down a powerhouse and make light work of anything ever attempted with it.
DC is in the hospital, however Sumer posted yesterday on her Instagram a picture of him he was giving us a thumbs up and a big ole 😊 smile. She said he’d had some home made pancakes , so it sounds like he is on the way back to being his laughing old self. Momma CS & Neiva were also not feeling very well but as far as I know from yesterday they are all resting and getting well at home.
Pretty good review and I don't disagree with much. I own both a 259D and a Volvo MCT125 (which is a JCB with a single arm). I hope for your sake that they've improved the machines. A rash of issues came along with my Volvo that mostly revolved around hose quality. My Volvo and the Cat now have the same hours (right around 2500) and the Volvo pins tilt pins on the quick attach are completely wore out despite daily greasing. The boom pins are starting to go as well. The Cat is almost as tight as the day we bought it. Man I love that side entry, and that's the only reason I'm even considering repairing the Volvo at this point. Next one will be another 259D3 or the Kubota SSV75,
Cole some of us do not use fakebook, instrash or any of those platform. We would like an update on what has been going on? I see that DC is in hospital and several are sick. Will pray for you but would love to know what we can pray for specifically.
I bought a new JCB 320T about 5 years ago. I just use it on the farm for moving gravel/dirt around, landscaping, and pallet fork work. I love it! The side door was the deciding factor for me. And yes, it's very quiet and the visibility is great. It has a ton of hydraulic power too. I've dug out a few rocks that I probably shouldn't have with this size of machine....😅!
For the Deere, the Wiring harness is ran through that hydraulic hose, the quick attach is self contained with its own little electric over hydraulic style jack for the locks, just needs power and control. still gets caught on stuff if youre not paying attention.
Hi Cole, Saw your Dad behind the one skid loader, filming, so this was before hospital. Hope they are all doing better. You all are in my prayers. Seems there's a lot of followers that are concerned and praying. Hang in there!
@@gamerfarms9362 , he's in the hospital, Summers been giving an update every evening on her Instagram, her latest was tonight Sunday night that he was hopeful to be home tomorrow :)
I'm with U about being able to get outta my recliner and having visibility safety issues .. The side door access , side window , comfort and ease of operation are worth the extra cost .. The noise and operating stress will wear U down fast and even a couple of hours can suddenly becomes a long uncomfortable day instead .. The track life and undercarridge maintenence ,, ease of repair,, and cost wood be a big factor to me also .. Everybuddy has their own opinion and I charge $ for mine due to high cost of medical insurance nowadays ;-}
Cole... I just found out about your dad's medical problem. He will CERTAINLY be in our prayers. He's a strong man and a good man. He will come through this fine. You know, as I do, the power of prayer. Your entire family is in our thoughts and prayers.
it was a bummer not seeing daddy cornstar at farm progress show but still happy I got to meet the rest of your awesome family. cornstar family will definitely be in our prayers!
Thanks so much for showing us all the differences. Wow, the JCB blows me away with the visibility, single arm lift, and the door entrance. They took a new approach to an old concept "skids steer", and really gave it an amazing update. I'm a John Deere fan, but after seeing your JCB I'd switch.
Don't do it. The least reliable machine I've ever owned. Owned 2 teleskids. Sent number 2 back with 150 hours after 7 service calls and a worn out boom pivot.
@@mattywho8485 paid 99k for our second one. They gave me the whole check back and I bought a bobcat t76 platinum. So far it's boringly reliable. I miss the boom on the JCB, but I'll live. Only reason to buy a jcb is for the teleskid. But they're trash machines and the company won't take care of their customers.
WHY, go JCB fixed boom,mad, idea,didn't even know there was a fixed boom, would have included JCB Teleskid with teleboom, (not familar with USA models).
@@stuartandrews4344 Well the Teleskid is about $20k and 4,000lbs more; since they want it for cemetery work the extra weight would just tear up the ground and maybe collapse graves (that would be a bad conversation), also some States have more restrictive rules for hauling heavier machines (might not be the case for where they are) and the extra equipment needed to haul it (bigger trucks, heavy duty trailers; which they probably have) it might not be worth it. Also supply could be an issue, with the pandemic there just might be any available.
Hey man, Praying for you and your family to beat this stuff!! Cornstar Nation Strong. Godspeed to DC, your mom, Nave, Nave's family, you and Cooper. Stay Strong!!!
You did a pretty good evaluation Cole. We have had our first JCB teleskid for 6 months now. It's our first JCB product, but I am VERY impressed. We have always had Deere and Cat loaders but our County Engineer bought a few JCB's and was telling us how happy his dept was with them so we tried one out and bought one. We have been EXTREMELY impressed with it. It has all the power we will ever need and I personally think it's the best ride of all the ones we tested. I think you will be happy with yours. One thing tho... if daddy cornstar is going to be using it much, may I suggest the heavy duty windshield? I know he has a " history".
At the Ky state fair I saw 6 brand new JCB skid steers tele-handlers and forklifts that the midway company were using to set up and tear down their rides. I was thinking about Cole when I saw them. They looked like very high quality pieces of equipment to me.
@@joefudd As we've seen on this page, just hope they don't have a DEF problem and need to contact customer support. Did they ever get that figured out or are they still driving it around in limp mode?
Love your videos and the JCB is a awesome machine I think I would of probably went the same way. But the ASV 75 max is amazing as well and would of been a great contender in this. Nonetheless great video, keep it up.
Great video Cole. My dad had a couple of CAT skid steers and we were very pleased, don't remember the model numbers anymore. I've liked the JCB side door myself and will look very close at the JCB when I purchase my first skid steer. Prayers for you, DC, mom, Hneive, and her aunt. Please let us know how their doing.
I’d take a Takeuchi over a JCB. But at the end of the day they are both poorly built and do not last. And IF you can get parts? And that’s a big if. They are not cheap.
Great choice Cole, love the fact that you gave us your opinion on the multiple aspects. Can't wait to see a longer review, and maybe a POV timelapse of you working with your new machine ! god bless
With the 325g I was worried about the hoses but I’ve yet to pop one. The visibility also took a bit to get used to but the camera helped while I was getting used to it. All in all it’s my favorite skid so far…minus the broken fuel gauge that idk why never gets fixed
@@georgedavidson7986 details are kinda limited, but I think he (along with several of coles girlfriends relatives) got pneumonia and the rona…. No idea how they’re doing sense coles Instagram post the other day
Summer had a update tonight. Dc is still in the hospital with low O2 levels. Momma Cornstar is getting her appetite back and Nave is out and about but still feeling sluggish.
One of the number one things to consider when buying equipment should always be parts availability. John Deere and Cat have sales and service centers in pretty much every freaking town in America. I personally own a Deere skid loader and a mini excavator and I have to say that I’ve had great performance out of both of these machines. My 333g is an absolute work horse. It’s incredibly easy to maintenance and has tons of power. My little 50g is a great little mini and again is definitely a little work horse. For me personally I’m not brand loyal to anything. Just so happens that like most people there is a Cat dealer and a Deere dealer within 45 minutes of my house. I’m 6’3” so for me the Cat was out of the question I ran it and just way to small inside the cab. That JCB looks great I do love the side door. Love the visibility for sure. I would however be skeptical about that boom. Just from an engineering and physics standpoint it’s built to fail. I could be completely wrong but I don’t think I am. Side loading that boom has got to be incredibly hard on the pins and bushings. A simple at home experiment can demonstrate what I’m talking about. Grab any weighted bar and hold it with both hands. Then let go with one hand and notice how your arm wants to roll in now need much more strength to hold the bar. Same principle with that single boom. Again I could be way off but I feel like there is a reason you literally do not see these machines anywhere ever.
@@NakedDave100 Yeah because we all know Toyota and Lexus's are nothing but junk compared to good old GMC vehicles. Buy products from Mexico, not Texas and Indiana.
Thank you for taking us along! I loved seeing them all and you guys testing them all out. I was surprised by how much of a price difference there was. And I have always heard of John Deere and Case, and thought they would be the best in all fields. Learn something new every time I watch your channel! Nice choice, buy the way.
In order to properly get a scoop of dirt or gravel, what you do Is once about 1/4 of the bucket is in the pile you then lift the boom about a foot or so which will put weight on the front end and then slowly curl the bucket as you continue into the pile, you do this all in one smooth motion, doing this you can get a full bucket of whatever you want with pretty much any loader. This is how you get a scoop of gravel as opposed to running into the pile and spinning your tracks like a goof.
Have 2013 JCB 135 I keep around for odd jobs I do by myself. (I don’t need a skid loader )The side entry is hands down the best feature of this very small 49hp machine. I had a friend get crushed under a loader when he crawled out of the cab with a loaded bucket. For me, it’s a simple choice.
Congratulations on the new machine. I've ran bobcat for most of my life and recently have been running a deere. I completely dislike the joystick (iso) controls. The deere cab features that I like are the air ride seat but knowing the harsh environment that probably wont last. the rest of the buttons on the deere over complicate it.
How could he not test a bobcat, it’s all I have ever run. I like manual over hydraulic controls also, not a big fan of pilot controls. The reason I stay with bobcat, they hold there value, and parts availability. We had a Volvo and it’s a nice machine but when you need parts it can be sidelined for a while.
I’ve got a New Holland, identical to the Case IH. Yes, they have more technology in the cab but 1,700 hours in and it’s CONSTANTLY throwing codes or has loose wiring connections. I’m looking to trade after harvest and would love to try a JCB, but don’t really know of any dealers in my area which is a setback. I like the power and lift capacity of the New Holland 238 but it just hasn’t held up great. Mechanically it’s been fine, but electrically it’s been a nightmare.
The JCB might be a side-entry machine for now, but after Daddy Cornstar have used it, it will become both a side-entry AND front-entry machine 😉😂🤣 Best of both worl's I guess 😎
JCB have really knocked it out of the park with their latest design. The great thing about the JCB is if you drop something onto the cab you can still get out. As a engineer it always surprised me they placed the door on skid steers right up front where debris can block a quick exit..
IDK Bro, I don't think you even tried the #1 & #2 track loaders IMO. Why no Takeuchi or ASV? That's all they run on them there BIG jobs, but seriously my TL12 pushes dirt like a new 450 and haven't had a single problem in two years with it and handles the mulcher and brush cutters like a boss with the high flow.
I believe the nearest asv dealer is about 4 hours from him and the closest Takeuchi dealer is about 45 minutes. I'm from roughly the same area as him and I don't see too many Takeuchi skids running around.
Just a FYI the hose by the quick attach plate on Deere isn’t a hose with fluid in it. Just wires in it and you never catch it on anything. Also if ya raise the arms up like 6-8 inches you have great visibility, which is where ya carry most loads anyways. But to each there own good luck with JCB
Came here to say the same thing, minus we have ripped it out a few times, and it’s a pain. You can’t access that plate without taking the attachment off. Can’t take the attachment off without the wires hooked up 😂. If you stay out of the woods and clearing trees you’ll be fine. I’ll take the single valley drive wheels over cats duals all day long tho, definitely faster on the Deere to get a track back on and going. So far I’m liking the Deere’s over the cat we had, but time will tell. I used the cat heavy for 5 years, we only have been on these Deere’s a little over a year but so far so good.
I bought a RT 215 after demoing a T66 Bobcat and a 325 Deere and experience with a 340B Case. Nice no frills machine with flip up door and a reasonable price
@@CDFJCB a lot of there equipment is built in America there still a British company and that's all that matters because British is best no matter where it's built
I work for a case dealer and it was a good call not going with the case but the only thing. I don’t see Takeuchi on the list. That is the best skidsteer on the market. Hands down
I didn't know what a "skid loader" was till I started watching your channel, along with the various car channels I watch from N. Dakota, Iowa, Minnesota, etc. We call them all "Bobcats" in Texas, no matter who makes them (except John Deere, those are sacred). Kinda like we call all carbonated canned beverages "cokes". 😂
I would have liked to see how the bobcat compared besides price wise, that's all I've ever run and that's all we have bought historically (currently have 5 of them) but now that they are moving away from foot controls who knows what we will buy next.
The line on the bottom of the boom of the deere you pointed out that leads to the quick attach is actually electrical wires encased in a hydraulic hose . They can be ripped off none the less but it surprised me that it's in fact not a hydraulic hose ..
No a bad choice. Have used that machine before with good success. Only regret is you will miss the tele boom. That is what really makes the machine. Enjoyed this episode.
@@Saeglopur89 I don’t think we know if they were all vaccinated, but I think right now we need to focus on sending well wishes and hoping they get well soon. Plenty of time to discuss the other stuff later.
@@matthewtaylor3308 we’re not guinea pigs, we have a choice over here in the UK, getting vaccinated actually makes sense to us cos it allows us to go do what we want in society due to the government’s allowances, it’s also harmless may I add at least for someone like me at 19

@@thenorthernhandyman I know that,didn't know JCB did a fixed boom option, I'm use to tele boom here in UK.
@@joefudd As we've seen on this page, just hope they don't have a DEF problem and need to contact customer support. Did they ever get that figured out or are they still driving it around in limp mode?

what happend?
@@gamerfarms9362 daddy corn star is sick in hospital and momma corn star and nave are sick at home.
At least it happened before harvest. Last year it was the wind damage.

@@ytgc14544 last I heard he was in hospital with the Rona. Cole did a story on IG a couple of days ago.
I asked this week and was told heat stroke.

Poor guy. I'm praying for him, too.
Great choice. Love the single side arm lift
I love this humor. It's deadly
Keep the cornstar family in your prayers hope everything gets better ❤️
Great Information.... now to the important stuff... hows the family doing Cole??
Also I’m praying that everyone is ok

What happened?
@@jodiewilcox6772 it was one of those posts that last a short time
Pretttty sure we all knew where this was going to end up. That JCB looks like the hot ticket!
Takeuchi makes a great reliable product Cole I wish you would have done a review on one ... Great videos keep up the great work ....
I prefer those over all of them
Local support for that one may not have been available.
Without a local dealer it's a moot point.
Japaneese owned company!!
@@KameraShy they have dealers in the iowa area
I would have choose the jcb as well, really nice machine
Love your videos and the JCB is a awesome machine I think I would of probably went the same way. But the ASV 75 max is amazing as well and would of been a great contender in this. Nonetheless great video, keep it up.
Great video Cole. My dad had a couple of CAT skid steers and we were very pleased, don't remember the model numbers anymore. I've liked the JCB side door myself and will look very close at the JCB when I purchase my first skid steer. Prayers for you, DC, mom, Hneive, and her aunt. Please let us know how their doing.
Hope everyone is getting better. ♥️
I don’t know why but I got excited when you opened the door on the JCB.
Awesome purchase, Cole! How's the family doing? I've been praying and concerned for you all.
JCB’s visibility alone makes it one of the nicest units I have run.
Sending positive thoughts and prayers for all the family
How do you know something is wrong with DC?..did I miss a video or something on this one????
So sorry about your grandfather Cole it's sad but your a stronger man for knowing him and respecting him keep the good work going have a splendid day
Ever think of the Takeuchi? JCB is also worth it. Love it worth the money and ease of access for repairs and the side door is the best feature.
I’d take a Takeuchi over a JCB. But at the end of the day they are both poorly built and do not last. And IF you can get parts? And that’s a big if. They are not cheap.
Great choice Cole, love the fact that you gave us your opinion on the multiple aspects. Can't wait to see a longer review, and maybe a POV timelapse of you working with your new machine ! god bless
Praying for the Cornstars. Get well soon.
What happened?
What happened
@@dennis4679 corona I'd say ,and most likely forgot to take the vacine ,
With the 325g I was worried about the hoses but I’ve yet to pop one. The visibility also took a bit to get used to but the camera helped while I was getting used to it. All in all it’s my favorite skid so far…minus the broken fuel gauge that idk why never gets fixed
The JCB Teleskid seems worth it, I’d love one for lifting pallets and maintaining my driveway.
Got to play with a AVANT 760i, other week, it's a mono boom,it's nice,but JCB's Teleskid is superior.
I'm glad that jcb is finally taking off in the US
Look at JCB's 1CXT, great bit of kit.
Hey thanks to all you guys iv watched you all from ireland the past 3 years god bless you say hello to daddy corn star for me …
Prayers go out to Daddy Cornstar and the Cornstar family! I hope to see you all at the Farm Progress Show next year!
Can you tell me what happened
@@georgedavidson7986 details are kinda limited, but I think he (along with several of coles girlfriends relatives) got pneumonia and the rona…. No idea how they’re doing sense coles Instagram post the other day
And the JCB looks like Wall-E! Nice video on the comparisons.
Praying for DC and Nava and the rest of your family! So sorry to hear this on your Instagram story.
I looked on instagram to try to find it, but couldn't. Hope everyone will be ok soon! 💖
@@Sheryl777 yeah he posted about it a few days ago so it’s gone now
Summer had a update tonight. Dc is still in the hospital with low O2 levels. Momma Cornstar is getting her appetite back and Nave is out and about but still feeling sluggish.
@@bryannewburn7891 Thank you for the update!
@@_lucas_1k_ Ok thanks! 😊
One of the number one things to consider when buying equipment should always be parts availability. John Deere and Cat have sales and service centers in pretty much every freaking town in America.
I personally own a Deere skid loader and a mini excavator and I have to say that I’ve had great performance out of both of these machines. My 333g is an absolute work horse. It’s incredibly easy to maintenance and has tons of power. My little 50g is a great little mini and again is definitely a little work horse.
For me personally I’m not brand loyal to anything. Just so happens that like most people there is a Cat dealer and a Deere dealer within 45 minutes of my house. I’m 6’3” so for me the Cat was out of the question I ran it and just way to small inside the cab.
That JCB looks great I do love the side door. Love the visibility for sure. I would however be skeptical about that boom. Just from an engineering and physics standpoint it’s built to fail. I could be completely wrong but I don’t think I am. Side loading that boom has got to be incredibly hard on the pins and bushings. A simple at home experiment can demonstrate what I’m talking about. Grab any weighted bar and hold it with both hands. Then let go with one hand and notice how your arm wants to roll in now need much more strength to hold the bar. Same principle with that single boom. Again I could be way off but I feel like there is a reason you literally do not see these machines anywhere ever.
How about a Takeuchi? Yeah I know, it sounds like a sneeze , but hey whatever. How goes the bin site so far? God bless.
They are tanks
Best out there at the moment.
I was looking for this comment. Takeuchi makes a excellent machine and it seems like it will outperform all the others.
Thats it counterfeits, support Japans economy, they are about as useless as their junk cars and trucks!!
@@NakedDave100 Yeah because we all know Toyota and Lexus's are nothing but junk compared to good old GMC vehicles. Buy products from Mexico, not Texas and Indiana.
Love seeing that Nava is wearing revoultion race! As a Swede it's awesome to see that more people enjoy them :D
Thank you for taking us along! I loved seeing them all and you guys testing them all out. I was surprised by how much of a price difference there was. And I have always heard of John Deere and Case, and thought they would be the best in all fields. Learn something new every time I watch your channel! Nice choice, buy the way.
Trust in Jesus Christ--
Good choice on the skid loader 😃👌 Can we please have a brief update on Daddy CornStar - thinking of you all ❤️❤️❤️❤️
The man cave should be called "the cornhub"🤟
In order to properly get a scoop of dirt or gravel, what you do Is once about 1/4 of the bucket is in the pile you then lift the boom about a foot or so which will put weight on the front end and then slowly curl the bucket as you continue into the pile, you do this all in one smooth motion, doing this you can get a full bucket of whatever you want with pretty much any loader. This is how you get a scoop of gravel as opposed to running into the pile and spinning your tracks like a goof.
Have 2013 JCB 135 I keep around for odd jobs I do by myself. (I don’t need a skid loader )The side entry is hands down the best feature of this very small 49hp machine. I had a friend get crushed under a loader when he crawled out of the cab with a loaded bucket. For me, it’s a simple choice.
Congratulations on the new machine. I've ran bobcat for most of my life and recently have been running a deere. I completely dislike the joystick (iso) controls. The deere cab features that I like are the air ride seat but knowing the harsh environment that probably wont last. the rest of the buttons on the deere over complicate it.
How could he not test a bobcat, it’s all I have ever run. I like manual over hydraulic controls also, not a big fan of pilot controls. The reason I stay with bobcat, they hold there value, and parts availability. We had a Volvo and it’s a nice machine but when you need parts it can be sidelined for a while.
I’ve got a New Holland, identical to the Case IH. Yes, they have more technology in the cab but 1,700 hours in and it’s CONSTANTLY throwing codes or has loose wiring connections. I’m looking to trade after harvest and would love to try a JCB, but don’t really know of any dealers in my area which is a setback. I like the power and lift capacity of the New Holland 238 but it just hasn’t held up great. Mechanically it’s been fine, but electrically it’s been a nightmare.
Contat JCB, they will find you a dealer.
Hope your Dad and Hneiva's Aunt are doing better, and your Mom and Hneiva are feeling better. Prayers for all of them.
Excellent presentation Cole, thank you. We're you guys still considering a mini excavator too?
The JCB might be a side-entry machine for now, but after Daddy Cornstar have used it, it will become both a side-entry AND front-entry machine 😉😂🤣 Best of both worl's I guess 😎
Takeuchis are my favorite compact track loaders. For me they're like a mini upgrade over Kubotas.
JCB have really knocked it out of the park with their latest design. The great thing about the JCB is if you drop something onto the cab you can still get out. As a engineer it always surprised me they placed the door on skid steers right up front where debris can block a quick exit..
IDK Bro, I don't think you even tried the #1 & #2 track loaders IMO. Why no Takeuchi or ASV? That's all they run on them there BIG jobs, but seriously my TL12 pushes dirt like a new 450 and haven't had a single problem in two years with it and handles the mulcher and brush cutters like a boss with the high flow.
Dealer locations are important when considering purchases.
I believe the nearest asv dealer is about 4 hours from him and the closest Takeuchi dealer is about 45 minutes. I'm from roughly the same area as him and I don't see too many Takeuchi skids running around.
Just a FYI the hose by the quick attach plate on Deere isn’t a hose with fluid in it. Just wires in it and you never catch it on anything. Also if ya raise the arms up like 6-8 inches you have great visibility, which is where ya carry most loads anyways. But to each there own good luck with JCB
Came here to say the same thing, minus we have ripped it out a few times, and it’s a pain. You can’t access that plate without taking the attachment off. Can’t take the attachment off without the wires hooked up 😂. If you stay out of the woods and clearing trees you’ll be fine. I’ll take the single valley drive wheels over cats duals all day long tho, definitely faster on the Deere to get a track back on and going. So far I’m liking the Deere’s over the cat we had, but time will tell. I used the cat heavy for 5 years, we only have been on these Deere’s a little over a year but so far so good.
You forgot gehl skid steers. I spent lots of time in a 5640 and a r220. With a little practice you can work miracles in a machine
I bought a RT 215 after demoing a T66 Bobcat and a 325 Deere and experience with a 340B Case. Nice no frills machine with flip up door and a reasonable price
Cole, thanks for your ratings. Very helpful info.
Still praying for you guys. Get well soon!
Great seeing Daddy Corn Star at his old house.
Awesome Cole, thank you for buying British
British company but the skid steer line is built in U.S.
@@CDFJCB a lot of there equipment is built in America there still a British company and that's all that matters because British is best no matter where it's built
@@bigdaddigaming British aint the best bud chill out and go get some A/C oh wait
@@nsg3968 that's ok as long as Cole bought British that's all that matters
I can’t deny how sweet those jcb’s look but I absolutely love our Deere machine and all the power it has.
Glad you picked the JCB.
Didn't know about JCB. Looks like an awesome buy
Prayers for the family.
I work for a case dealer and it was a good call not going with the case but the only thing. I don’t see Takeuchi on the list. That is the best skidsteer on the market. Hands down
Hmm, wonder if Nava thinks a smart car is a motorhome. "Its roomy in here"
I didn't know what a "skid loader" was till I started watching your channel, along with the various car channels I watch from N. Dakota, Iowa, Minnesota, etc.
We call them all "Bobcats" in Texas, no matter who makes them (except John Deere, those are sacred). Kinda like we call all carbonated canned beverages "cokes". 😂
I would have liked to see how the bobcat compared besides price wise, that's all I've ever run and that's all we have bought historically (currently have 5 of them) but now that they are moving away from foot controls who knows what we will buy next.
The line on the bottom of the boom of the deere you pointed out that leads to the quick attach is actually electrical wires encased in a hydraulic hose . They can be ripped off none the less but it surprised me that it's in fact not a hydraulic hose ..
We've been thinking of getting a used JCB for our farm. The safety of being able to exit the side of the machine is unbeatable.
Side entry & the excellent visabilty, nothing better than JCB.
Also have a look at used Volvo's then, as they are just rebadged JCB's made at the same factory.
No a bad choice. Have used that machine before with good success. Only regret is you will miss the tele boom. That is what really makes the machine. Enjoyed this episode.
So, handy teleboom,like being able to offload load a trailer all from one side.
We have been watching Summer’s IG and we are praying for everyone while they’re sick!!! You’re our second family 🥺🙏🏻
They were all not vaccinated? I'm big fan from Europe and in shock that they are handling it so bad even now :O
I couldnt see anything on IG. Can someone please fill me in ?
@@Saeglopur89 I don’t think we know if they were all vaccinated, but I think right now we need to focus on sending well wishes and hoping they get well soon. Plenty of time to discuss the other stuff later.
@@Saeglopur89 Not everybody wants to be a guinea pig, bub.
@@matthewtaylor3308 we’re not guinea pigs, we have a choice over here in the UK, getting vaccinated actually makes sense to us cos it allows us to go do what we want in society due to the government’s allowances, it’s also harmless may I add at least for someone like me at 19
Nice purchase. You won't be disappointed. Prayers for DC and nave and all the family ....oh and momma too
Prayers going out to all y'all get better
