I love that machine and I’m glad u traded for the tach, David seemed like a really good son/ friend I know you care a lot about him and his legacy, your a really good guy wish more people were like you God bless u friend
I really appreciate that! I thank God every night for giving me the best son anyone could ask to have for the 1527 weeks & 3 days until he took him home🙏🙏🙏...God Bless you too!
Iv come across your channel couple weeks ago . Iv been in the dirt business with my dad since I was able to walk and I see then end of your videos about your son who has passed. I’m sorry for you lose , as I’m a father of 2 boys myself. Didn’t want ti be disrespectful but May I ask what happened to your son? Again, I can’t imagine but keep up the great work you do and I’ll keep watching!! God bless and proud American !!!
Thanks BJ, my son worked for the SCDOT, on July 25th, 2022...166 weeks today he and his coworker were killed while working on the side of the road by a truck driver who fell asleep 🙏
Nice tribute to your son. Very tragic circumstance to his passing, my condolences. I just retired from the NYSDOT and many people have no idea how dangerous it is working in a roadway. God bless, take care.
Wow! Nice new machine! My gooseneck is only 14k. That’s why I’m sticking with Gehl RT 210 behind my 18 Ram 3500 SRW manual transmission truck. You bigger guys are a great source of information!😃
Congrats, I also have the same Takeuchi TL12-V2 High Flow , couple years older. Powerful machine, don't want DEF crap, but always fun behind the controls
“If you want eco mode, buy a Prius” 😂 Loved that! Great video. Very informative. Just purchased a used tl12v2. Nowhere near the condition of that beautiful thing! Awesome machine. I’m sure you’re still pleased with it. Thanks for sharing. Condolences on your son.
Man what a nice unit. I wish i had a need/use for some equipment. I can barely justify my riding lawn tractor lol. That inside does look hue compared to the other one. Do you foresee adding the tilt bucket attaching plate like dirt boss uses?great video thanks for sharing. Stay dry durning the storm.
Thanks Robert, I do love it! Tilt bucket would be nice but I'll probably just use the Grading Bucket on the Yanmar for the tough areas...at least for now 😄
Thanks Robert, it's over now, lost power for about an hour so I didn't need to get the generators out 😁...lost the roof panels in the greenhouse and a few limbs down so I call that fortunate 🙏
I have to ask. I am a Canadian and appreciate your willingness to share. What do you do for a living to be able to afford all these nice machines/toys? Do you make money with them?
Retired, Own Construction Co I started in 1981 when I was 17. I only do charity work now...other than what I make from TH-cam...but it's a stress reliever for me...
Love the visibility of this machine. Being able to see the cutting edge of bucket is great. How high does the lift go - high enough to load (some) trucks? Thanks for such a good video from a new subscriber in New Zealand.
Thanks Bob and welcome to the Channel...yes it lifts high enough to load a triaxle...th-cam.com/video/B7rgnsd5vS4/w-d-xo.html here is is loading my 5 ton...

Man, I wanted one of those small toys! When I bought my TL12V2, I didn’t get a my own little toy I could play with on my desk! I want one! Do you think for the $89,000 I spent on it that I’d get one for free! My big wide bucket that I got with mine broke apart after 9 months and my dealer was changing to be a deal of a different brand, so they would not replace it. Clearly, Takeuchi has someone else build their buckets.
Hi mate .please stay safe with hurricane Ian coming , don’t take chances, anyway I like the new skid steer, I ran a 4 1/2 tonne excavator for 3 years and really liked it, never had any problems with it. Your like me if I don’t like it it’s best take a loss and get the things you like 👍maybe Volvo instead of kobelco ? 👌Kev 🇬🇧
Probably worked out cheaper buying/ selling and at the time there was no time frame given for how long the Takeuchi would take to be made and delivered 😀
@@southernhomesteadtransformatio What I thought…..same engine , it’s all in the turbo adjustment. I bought new ,and still have, the older SVL 90-2 ….been a great machine for my weekend warrior stuff. Even with running the fecon mulching head . Only thing I ever had to address was the hydraulics overheating in the summer months. Fixed that with a “loftness cool flow” cab mounted cooler last year. I hope the newer models of all brands have addressed that. I do like that new Tak too…..👍
@@southernhomesteadtransformatio You think $88,000 is about where the high flow machine is at? A good price for a 2023 high flow 12V? Thank you so much for the videos you put out on it.
Greetings.... how are you. A couple of questions.... you have been working here for months if not years, what exactly are you doing here,is it your property,is it some one else's, how do you make a living if I may ask. Just curious is all....By the way... for your son....RIP.
Howdy, I'm good, hope the same for you!...we bought the property in 2015, started on the lake in 2019, 4 months before the tragedy hit us...I could not really focus on finishing anything here for a few years after (still not really ready but...)... Had a construction company since i was 17, i am fortunate to not have to worry about working anymore...thank you for thinking of David 🙏
Congratulations on all your new equipment! More out of curiosity and don’t feel like you have to answer but are you able to afford that stuff with money you make off of the channel ? I’m trying to build up my channel which is just RC diggers :)

Stay safe during Hurricane Ian. Nice looking new Takeuchi.
Thanks Kirk! Hopefully it misses us 😁
Great vid! I get my new 2023 TL12V2 in three days after waiting a year. Excited!!!!

That Manituu is a death trap with that tipping point!

Their engineers need to address that for sure...

Looks like a nice machine, I, too, would prefer a Tak but GEHL is a close second.
Chris will be jealous of your hi flow
Good video
Thanks Tugboat, after chatting with him I, I would suspect we will see him with a new one too 😁
Now see if I bought one of those I probably never get out of it even though I have no use for it.
That moves the dirt very quickly!!!
Yes, it's a marvelous machine!

16hrs???? you should have rented until the tako came in. I have 4 machines and have used dozens of skid loaders. Takeuchi makes one of the best.
Probably worked out cheaper buying/ selling and at the time there was no time frame given for how long the Takeuchi would take to be made and delivered 😀

How many hours you got on it now ?any problems?
150, no problems...I love it!

The best thing you can do for that machine is to delete the emissions and get it tuned.
Nothing like instant regrets…..

Takeuchi does make a wheeled machine
Not anymore, just articulated wheel loaders.
@@southernhomesteadtransformatio Haven't seen one in a while but yes, they make a wheeled machine for USA.
Not on their website of machines they make...
And they talk about the children and their new toys........

Funny how people in the know always have Takeuchis
It's true 😁
