300K Chevy? 🤣 Man, I sold my Chevrolet Silverado after 90k miles. Those MFs drank gas like it was nothing and broke every after 10k miles. My Toyota Land Cruiser is 6 yrs old. No issues at all at 490k miles.
Fendt is all the luxury, the rolls Royce of the tractor world, but the one tractor brand everyone uses to drag everything else out? That award goes to Case IH with the 9380 quadtrac, and basically any Steiger or quadtrac you can find otherwise, stuck a quadtrac? Just get another quadtrac.
ViceGrip was famous for making locking pliers. Same for Crescent was famous for making adjustable wrenches. Each one us just a brand, that was recognized for making 1 thing better than most so that tool got a nickname of the brand. In ViceGrip's case, they are actually made by Irwin tools, and they named their particular tool branded as "vice grips" but the same tool made by other companies is just considering locking pliers.
Past 1995... Chevy's transmission will blow up before 300k unless it's the 4l80e, a Ford's engine will blow up before 300k unless it's the 4.6 2v, a Dodge? That things whole drivetrain is dead in the water before 80k or it ain't dying. Fords are for working men Dodges are for godfearing men Chevys are for feminine men...
My favorite part of having equipment was always the luxury interiors, cause as operators we all know they NEVER get filthy and are always pristine as fuck
Y’all believe this… buy one and drive it instead of listening to car and driver.. also look up recalls for Toyota and search Toyota Camry transmission issues.. lol work on cars before deciding what is reliable or not. 20-30 years ago your assumption would’ve been close.
@@charlesseitz1366 There are hundreds of studies online, and almost every one has Toyota and Lexus (made by Toyota) at the top.

My grandfather gets the hardest hard on you can possibly get when it comes to John deer. Out of my 19 years of living not one time I ever seen anyone other then him and me use his John deer to mow his lawn which gets done every week. The only reason I was aloud to touch it for 1 summer was because he had to have a leg amputated and wasn’t able to balance properly on the tractor. After that summer I’ve never messed with it again except for when he specifically asks for help changing the oil or something like that.
I worked at a new Holland dealer and it was pretty comparable to the deers selling Dow the street. The combines had a fridge microwave and coffee maker option ac and gps to either set the unit to follow or for you to manually follow. I’m not saying there better but at least you have a right to repair your own equipment and it’s gonna last.
our Garden Building company has two 5,5t Zettelmeyer Loaders 1996 and 1997. They are bare minimum, pure practicality and not comfortable at all but after all we rarely use them for more then 1 or 2hours at a time. They still do the job they are supposed too. I also much prefer our 5.5t Volvo or Komatsu loaders compared to similarly sized CATS. The CATS have a very bad visibility of your lift arm. Our rented 1.9t CAT Mini Digger is amazing tho
Worked for JD as a contracted engineer. Honestly, John Deere CUT (compact utility tractors) copies some of their cab designs from Kubota until you get into the larger 7000-9000 UT ,series tractors. When you get into the 5000+ series JD CUT/UT those are all "customizable" and you pay high dollar for it! John Deere is honestly just valued because of the brand name, but Kubota CUT are better!
I remember one summer working a field that had a skid steer. I mentioned I knew how to drive them and it was a John deer. I had to open the windows every so often on a 90 degree day because the AC made the cab too cold 😂😂😂😂
Dad has work for Deere for 35 years. Sitting in the cab of a Deere at this point might as well be classified as a man cave. I know a farmer who put the biggest iPad models on mounts as well as portable wifi in all his tractors. Seeing as they mostly run themselves, you're basically a babysitter.
Unfortunately for the line about “cat” being generic for bulldozers, there really IS a Caterpillar dealer/distributor ship about a mile from my house. Christmas, they have a display with a D-9er (the big thing from Killdozer) with Santa aboard, “pulled” by eight little bobcats.
I prefer Deere excavators, more speedier digging wise and nice balance on the tracks. Cat does have good digging power though, slow when you attempt three different functions/movements.
Back when I was around 3 - 6 (he's been working with CAT and mines almost he's whole life so probably longer) years old my dad use to fly out to South Africa to work on CAT and has saved the company Millions of dollars he's now 66 years old and is retired I'm very proud of my father
I live next to John Deere each harvester is worth $800,000, last year they had to halt production because they couldn’t make computer chips and the harvesters didn’t have any manuals with them. Plus they don’t like farmers repairing their own stuff, even tho most John Deere equipment is pretty cheap locally.
That is called genericization, where the brand becomes synonymous with the item. Other examples are allen wrench (hex key), Philips screwdriver (cross head), skill saw (circular saw), etc.
I work for the company that supplies all the tractor companies with their seats. I've built seats for Deere, Case, and CAT and Deere is by far the pickiest when it comes to their product. They want everything to look the best and perform the best or they will not accept it

I just put the things I want cold in the toolbox on the deck of my my snowcat. The weather keeps it cold for me! 😂
I was like John deer is a taxi service now? Then realized I'm pathetically stupid. Lol
If you want a fridge in your backhoe, just get a cooler😂
John deere doesn't have the best cab try a claas or a fendt
That's what I was gunna say... get in a Fendt and you won't want a Deere any longer.
Yea claas is awesome
Wer Fendt fährt führt.
Ya I have to agree. We have both claas and fendt there's nothing like them
Now compare fendt and John Deere tractors
Fendt is all the luxury, the rolls Royce of the tractor world, but the one tractor brand everyone uses to drag everything else out? That award goes to Case IH with the 9380 quadtrac, and basically any Steiger or quadtrac you can find otherwise, stuck a quadtrac? Just get another quadtrac.
I really like Volvo cabs in loaders and excavator
Fendt cabs are horrible. looks like a preschool playhouse
That "damn" with a smile on the dudes face was priceless
ViceGrip was famous for making locking pliers. Same for Crescent was famous for making adjustable wrenches. Each one us just a brand, that was recognized for making 1 thing better than most so that tool got a nickname of the brand. In ViceGrip's case, they are actually made by Irwin tools, and they named their particular tool branded as "vice grips" but the same tool made by other companies is just considering locking pliers.
Ever driven a Fendt?
I have, they’re cushy but man they’re complex lol
They’re 100% the nicest tractor money can buy
I had this video liked until you said a Chevy will get 300k miles😂
Past 1995... Chevy's transmission will blow up before 300k unless it's the 4l80e, a Ford's engine will blow up before 300k unless it's the 4.6 2v, a Dodge? That things whole drivetrain is dead in the water before 80k or it ain't dying.
Fords are for working men
Dodges are for godfearing men
Chevys are for feminine men...
I have to say John deer has all of the bullshit but CAT performs waaaayyyyyy better
I worked at John Deere in their cabs division at Davenport. Every single cab for every single type of equipment is super luxury.
My favorite part of having equipment was always the luxury interiors, cause as operators we all know they NEVER get filthy and are always pristine as fuck
Chevy...no. Toyota.
yeah this guy dumb with his chevy
True, chevys are known for being unreliable, especially the new ones.
Y’all believe this… buy one and drive it instead of listening to car and driver.. also look up recalls for Toyota and search Toyota Camry transmission issues.. lol work on cars before deciding what is reliable or not. 20-30 years ago your assumption would’ve been close.
@@charlesseitz1366 There are hundreds of studies online, and almost every one has Toyota and Lexus (made by Toyota) at the top. The difference is that nowadays, every car brand is making more reliable cars, so the gap is closing, but it is still there. And if you have ever worked on a Toyota, you would have noticed how neat all of the electricals are...they just simply have amazing quality control.
@@charlesseitz1366 mate I’ve got a Toyota hilux and Land Cruiser Ute that I uses to chase cattle with and they get bashed around and still go I’ve done more damage to a Toyota Ute than any other vehicle and it still runs like a champion
Volvo has some pretty nice cabs also!
If he wants to talk about a brand they not the most luxurious out there but will get u 300,000 miles. He should of said Toyota
my mind was blown the day I learned about the vice grip & locking pliers thing
Gotta keep the beer cold man 😂
Neither of these two have ever operated anything
😂😂 truth
The whole cab is decked out because they want to screw ya on the repair cost
This is the example of “not everyone needs a podcast”
😂😂.
Omg no way.
Omg wow.
That’s amazing.
Oh wow.
My grandfather gets the hardest hard on you can possibly get when it comes to John deer. Out of my 19 years of living not one time I ever seen anyone other then him and me use his John deer to mow his lawn which gets done every week. The only reason I was aloud to touch it for 1 summer was because he had to have a leg amputated and wasn’t able to balance properly on the tractor. After that summer I’ve never messed with it again except for when he specifically asks for help changing the oil or something like that.
I worked at a new Holland dealer and it was pretty comparable to the deers selling Dow the street. The combines had a fridge microwave and coffee maker option ac and gps to either set the unit to follow or for you to manually follow. I’m not saying there better but at least you have a right to repair your own equipment and it’s gonna last.
Until something breaks and you literally can't fix it because you don't have the software
This feels like I'm watching AI make a podcast.
Lost me at "she'll get you 300 thousand"
our Garden Building company has two 5,5t Zettelmeyer Loaders 1996 and 1997. They are bare minimum, pure practicality and not comfortable at all but after all we rarely use them for more then 1 or 2hours at a time. They still do the job they are supposed too.
I also much prefer our 5.5t Volvo or Komatsu loaders compared to similarly sized CATS. The CATS have a very bad visibility of your lift arm. Our rented 1.9t CAT Mini Digger is amazing tho
Same thing with channel locks, but I still call my knipex channel locks haha!
He didn’t know Vice grip was just a brand? And you call yourself an equipment operator? 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
operator not a mechanic lmao
Vice grip is a brand?..
The real name for a pair of vice grips is a pair of needle nosed pliers or locking pliers.
@@SurprisinglyDeepLong nosed, not needle nose.
Needle comes to a fine point, the long nose locking pliers are anything but precision.
@@autumn5592 Thanks for the info. I stand corrected.
Calling John Deere operator friendly is like calling Biden mentally sound and capable to run a country
The glovebox in my mk6 VW GTI has a ac beverage cooler too
Worked for JD as a contracted engineer. Honestly, John Deere CUT (compact utility tractors) copies some of their cab designs from Kubota until you get into the larger 7000-9000 UT ,series tractors. When you get into the 5000+ series JD CUT/UT those are all "customizable" and you pay high dollar for it! John Deere is honestly just valued because of the brand name, but Kubota CUT are better!
"Vise Grips" are actually called adjustable locking pliers.
To some people yws to other people they are mole grips
Essential Workers!!! Appreciate you fellas.
VICE GRIP ISNT THE NAME OF THE TOOL??! ok, i’m subbing 😂
Work on a golf course, got John Deere mini ex and a skid steer. Love them both, total workhorses
I remember one summer working a field that had a skid steer. I mentioned I knew how to drive them and it was a John deer. I had to open the windows every so often on a 90 degree day because the AC made the cab too cold 😂😂😂😂
Dad has work for Deere for 35 years. Sitting in the cab of a Deere at this point might as well be classified as a man cave. I know a farmer who put the biggest iPad models on mounts as well as portable wifi in all his tractors. Seeing as they mostly run themselves, you're basically a babysitter.
Construction equipment vs farm equipment
Unfortunately for the line about “cat” being generic for bulldozers, there really IS a Caterpillar dealer/distributor ship about a mile from my house. Christmas, they have a display with a D-9er (the big thing from Killdozer) with Santa aboard, “pulled” by eight little bobcats.
The cat next gen cabs are the best on the market right now
I prefer Deere excavators, more speedier digging wise and nice balance on the tracks. Cat does have good digging power though, slow when you attempt three different functions/movements.
Back when I was around 3 - 6 (he's been working with CAT and mines almost he's whole life so probably longer) years old my dad use to fly out to South Africa to work on CAT and has saved the company Millions of dollars he's now 66 years old and is retired I'm very proud of my father
Right to repair >>>>>>>>
"Seriously!!"😂
We just bought a 680 John Deere and I was like what the fucks under the buddy seat then I realized it was a mini fridge
Well, valtra has refrigrators too in their tractors, and you can work on them yourself without getting sued 😂
Nearly every brand had fridges now.
I live next to John Deere each harvester is worth $800,000, last year they had to halt production because they couldn’t make computer chips and the harvesters didn’t have any manuals with them. Plus they don’t like farmers repairing their own stuff, even tho most John Deere equipment is pretty cheap locally.
That is called genericization, where the brand becomes synonymous with the item. Other examples are allen wrench (hex key), Philips screwdriver (cross head), skill saw (circular saw), etc.
Skill saw, SAW Zaw, Hilti drill, shop vac
Velcro and bandaid are also companies, the actual products are called hook and loop and adhesive bandages
I work for the company that supplies all the tractor companies with their seats. I've built seats for Deere, Case, and CAT and Deere is by far the pickiest when it comes to their product. They want everything to look the best and perform the best or they will not accept it
Deere sprayers have a massage seat option. Needless to say, heated and cooled seats as well.
