- At Tractor Time with Tim, we listened to our viewers who commented that we should test drive a Skid Steer. We visited a Case Construction dealership to find out just what a Track Loader and Wheel Loader can do and if it would tear up turf like people say they do.

I like how Christy is fearless and willing to jump in and operate the equipment. She's a keeper.
Skid steer are a very handy machine to own. I owned a Case 1845C for 18 year's. The only faults I had was visibility when backing and having to haul it everywhere . You both seemed to catch on rather quickly to the different operating controls !! I know God has a special plan for you all !! Please be safe and God bless you !!!! Eddy
I really enjoy these videos I learn a lot from them They have really come a long way with the attachments available for the skid steers and that helps to make them a lot more versatile machine. They are a little pricey on the front end buying one but they will last for thousands of hours. Thanks for taking us with you. Have a great weekend. God Bless!!!
Man that looks like a lot of fun! I'm telling you the list of things i want to buy is growing thanks to you. I have not had any experience with Case equipment at all. I really like what i see from Casey and the skidsteer. I didn't think i would have a use for something like this until spoke to a friend of mine (and watched this video) that told me his company owns a lot of Case equipment and that it's their go to brand. He works for a large road construction company here in Michigan and invited me to the yard to take one for a test drive.
Thanks again Tim and family for the very informative video. I always smile when my phone lets me know you have posted a new video. I will pray for continuing prosperity for you and your family.
I'm old school and always found it more comfortable to use the hand controls forward and reverse and the foot petals for boom and bucket,I found that I wasn't as sure of myself with the joystick controls,just me,have run them both, I worked at a landfill for 24 years and ran a lot of equipment all of ours were wheeled skid steers loaders,separating debri in the demolition area and at the transfer station,all had demolition packages,FUN TIME WAS had by all,love your videos and christy is every mans dream for a partner and wife ,God Bless,Happy Easter
Very informative video! Thanks tim and christy! Keep up the good work!
Really enjoy watching your guys’ search for a new machine. Thanks for taking us along for the ride! God bless.
Thanks for your comment.
Tim ....
ANOTHER layer of difficulty has just been added .....
I wish you luck! >8^)
Tim, I bought this house three years ago; it sits on a 1/10th acre lot. Immediately we removed three of four trees. They were two close to the house, the roots of the native red maples were going under my side walk and they were planted shallow due to a 7,300V line under them. Then I planted a white oak, burr oak, and two ornament crab apples. The new oaak trees were about 20' tall and more than 5" in diameter; the crab apples were a little smaller. Someone asked me why; I'm 74 and have had three different kinds of cancer. I want to enjoy them. We used a skid steer to move the trees. They were dug the morning they were planted so the balls were big, wet and heavy. We planted the trees and mowed the grass the next day - no problems. Those tracks really spread the weight; I would advise the treads over the wheels. We also had had the stumps ground but it was not smooth and we used tth skid steer to grub the srumps. One man's opinion.
Great video. Proud of you Christy for getting in and trying it...did a good job too! Dad says he has always wanted to operate one. Hint, hint.
These reviews really show an interesting approach to equipment. You uncover lots of interesting points while you are looking over the machines.
Thanks much!
The 310 is an awesome machine, I think it would enhance your business greatly!
Great video once again
God bless
I see a skid steer in your future! Clifford is big enough to pull him around and all the applications you do it looks to me a skid steer is right fit!
Just picked up a low hr case tr310 and love it. I haven't had a case in 25 years
Hi Tim and Christy nice video Christy you done very well for your first time driving one your a natural
Very nice and informative video. I've used primarily Bobcat and Deere wheeled and track steer machines. If you do get one, I think you'll be amazed at the jobs you'll be able to handle with it. The attachments vary greatly with these, just as implements do with Johnny. From a forestry mulcher to the forks. These are the big boy toys, for sure. Good luck and God bless.
Forestry mulcher ..... MMMMMMMMMMMMMM! >8^)
I have the old school Case 1845C I have owned it for 20 years and it has been a tank. I recently got a Case 445ct tracked loader and it is a great machine as well. I know some people swear by tractors but it really is hard to beat a skid steer for landscaping. One thing to keep in mind is the forward tipping point is a lot better on a track machine so if your loading material on to a truck or trailer it will be less likely to tip forward than a wheel machine. I rarely use my wheel machine to load my truck anymore. I am a big fan of John Deere but when it comes to skid steers and backhoes I think Case has a better product.
Cool video, I think it would be a good addition to the equipment you already have
Tractor Time with Tim
I love CASE Skid Loaders.
Plus the hydraulics on these newer models is so responsive - They are awesome!
Did you buy one Tim ?
I used to be a Case CTL operator here until i tried out the Kubota SVL and just fell in love with it and from my past experiences the Kubota is much easier to operate and the Cabin has much more room over the Case and Compare the SVL 75-2 to the 310 the Kubota is close to 1000 Lbs Heavier so it it will push and handle much more. And Kubota now has high flow pump options and Shockless Ride Feature and less Electronics to deal with.. The Kubota also is much more quiet in the Cabin as well plus you have a ton landpride attachments. Ane there are a few other ss/ctl on the Market Still Running Kubota Engines
I’m sold Tim you know me I JD all the way ,, however that is one hell of a machine you should definitely get it
The fellow who removed the tree roots in my front yard used one of those. We had to reseed the area when he wa done only because he tilted the bucket full forward and then regraded the front yard, but the soil was NOT compacted. The next fellow brought me in two 4" oak trees with large balls. He had first used an excavator to dig two holes 8' x 4' deep which we partially filled with good composed top-soil. Then the trees were brought across the lawn and placed and soil added. NO damage to the lawn, he had the wide agricultural treads. Get the teeth for the bucket and it is wonderful for grading.
That was informative as usual... And another great Bible verse! Thanks for sharing
I have driving skid steers since I was 10 and it's still a lot to learn
I was still a virign when I learned to drive one! Love skid steers.
I don't know a lot about skid steers, but it looks like a great machine!
look good all the work geting do god bless you
hi guys, great video. thanks god bless
That is a very nice machine Tim i love the little bobcat 463 skidsteer we got about 15 years ago but if you get a skid steer you do want high flow hydraulics ours is just 10 gpm like Johnny and our Kioti we can still run a lot of things on it but it is best to get hight flow but we love the forks on it we use them to move every thing just like you do with Johnny but they are nice to use with the bucket you can see so much better than if you are on a tractor ! but looked like you guys had fun ! take care and have a great weekend ! God bless ! Kioti Curt :-)
We recently bought a Kubota L2501 with 80 hours on it for $14,000 and it has amazed me with it's capabilities.
Wow, that was impressive. You changed the grade on that slope like it was cake! You made me a believer on the Skid steer. This search gets better all the time. What's next!
Yea, and I wasn’t comfortable with the controls yet. No telling what we could accomplish after I have some practice time.
One of the best thing about the track loader, is that it is very gentle on soft ground. my neightbor brought his over to work in some very soft terrain where anything else would have sunk and stuck.
I've done some work with both a skid steer and a track steer, and BY FAR the track is the best for me. Depends on the work you're doing, and if you were on gravel or hard top most of the time I think the skid steer is faster, I just love the track machines. Now, if they would only cost a heck of a lot less!
Oh my, my, my. That would be dangerous for me. I would leave with a CASE being hauled behind my truck (smile). Thanks for taking us along. Thumbs up.
That is why we took the Ridgeline and left the trailer at home :-) Thanks for watching!
My sister purchased a Case TR270 earlier this spring for her poultry operation. Primary use as of now is loading manure and mowing, but will likely get a blower for winter. Tracks make it feel extremely stable mowing (not a Case mower) in the Orchard even on side hills, no teetering like the wheeled models. Only drawback to it so far is I’m not allowed to borrow it until the newness wears off.
Thx for comment!
I have the bobcat 870 and I love the suspension tracks and the ease of maintenance on the bobcat. It does loose a little power when doing two to three things with the hydro. But as you told me it is all about service it can be a great machine but if you can’t get good service after the sale you got nothing.
another tip, get buckets designed like that for your tractors and wheel loaders. make grading a lot easier. we even have one for our volvo 220H loaders.
My ag chapter just bought a new Holland skid steer for use stuffer the shop. Sadly I just graduated in the spring so I won't get to play with that much. I have ran it for about 15 min and was like a kid in a candy store. As soon as the the new toy isn't so new anymore they are going to try and let me take it to my farm and hey don't much needed work done. I can't wait
Great machines just depends on size and what all you do , for what you guys do a nice compact track loader might be perfect or a bigger one just depends
Much like you Tim I was surprised at how smooth the track loaders operate. I did end up getting a bobcat t650 so I'm putting it to use now. I'll have to keep up better on your channel to see if you ended up getting one or we'll get one? Thanks
If your looking for something this size, you could check out the bobcat 5600 tool cat.
A skid steer is on my wish list, it would make a great tool!
I enjoy your clips ( cool work )
Can’t go wrong with case, cat, bobcat, and kabota just depends witch one fits your needs better
I know you already know this; but I see a lot of comments on what you should do. A lot of opinions here and good ones too but I believe you should do what YOU think is best for you. You’re going to be paying for it and using it so it should be something you want/need. But I’m exited to see what you end up with and upcoming projects!
Shawn
I'm of the same mind as your good self Shawn .... We ALL put in our two cents worth ..... And I leave Tim to work it all for himself ..... There are other things going on in Tim's world we aren't meant to know about .... He will be OK in the end .... :)
Tim, i would highly recommend a skid steer (tracked preferably much more stable) they are hands down one of the most versatile pieces of equipment. It seems like you have good service at your Case dealer but you should strongly consider Kubota. Every part of their machine is well designed and built, and of course their engines are 2nd to none. Great video as always.
Tim, if you want to stay green, I would recommend you look at the avant Loaders. They are light weight, compact front end loaders.
Hi Tim, just my thoughts skid or track loaders are nice just very pricey. The attachments are even more pricey than attachments for Johnny or a bit larger tractor in the future for you. Stick with the tractors, be safe out there and keep the great videos coming.
Thanks again,
Jeffrey Misch
I have been looking at the tr310 It probably is the perfect size machine for what you guys would do the next sizes up are pretty big.
My dad put lots of hours on case skid steers absolutely loved them but in 2007 we went to a tl150 takeuchi a 98hp tracked loader and we use it for everything we have over 10 000 hours on the one machine the main use in loading manure as that is what the main income is but in the winter its used for feeding hay and pushing snow and when we go to the off farm bale yard with it we put 3 6x5 round bales and go down the road. The only issue is that its tracked and its rough and loud down the road. But in the pens in mud it cant be beat
Skid steer time with Tim!
Love the channel tim keep it up
Thanks for joining us, and for the kind words!
I remember at work a guy was using a rubber tired skid steer and raised bucket up so high full of dirt. When he dumped it over he went sticking up out of the ground like a duck in a lake. It was so funny when they pulled him out, the look on his face
We have two cat skid steers with tracks would definitely recommend going and taking a look at the cat track loaders we like them more over the competitors. They are built like a tank compared to others
Nice. You operated it very well.
the case TR310 runs with 74 hp kubota 3 cylinder diesel tier 4 final
I challenge you to make one comment here without using the word Kubota. I don’t think you can do it! :-)
Without the foot print of a bigger tractor the TR310 looks like the perfect compliment to Johnny and your business. Since your not farming. Not to mention the power jump and attachments that are available . Let me know when it arrives so I can test drive it in your backyard.
Ha! We’ll see about that!
Tim you guys should look at at compact wheel loader because they are narrower than some mid size skid loaders and are the same price maybe cheaper only disadvantage is the height. But I would always pick a skid loader or loader over a tractor. I think you will find loads of uses for it. Thanks. Btw check out the Kubota r530 compact wheel loader it's a great little machine.
I have 3 skid steers tim and I have to say I wouldn't clear land, install driveways, drains and whatever else I find them to do as quick as I do now! I will say you do tear up more yards than a rubber tire tractor. But if you keep the deere you would be set. I have every attachment well I think I do you can buy and that's alot. Let's list them for you. 4 and 1 bucket,forks,tiller,fecon mower,brushhog that cuts anything, landscape rake for soil prep,auger,tree setting attachment,fence pile driver,rock bucket,root rake, whatever you can think they probably have one. Y'all have a great day if you have any questions feel free
My dad has a Kabota SVL 90 skid steer
I'm glad to see this video. I think a skid or track machine would compliment what you already have. Only you know what you want accomplish work wise. Only the finance committee knows what you can afford. It seems Case likes how you do things and the Casey videos.
We have a great relationship with Case Construction.
Work with them Tim .... You are a great advertisement for their products ..... :)
One of the mistakes I made when I started my business was not getting the equipment I needed. Money is always a reason however, In my case I tried to use one machine to do everything. You can say I learned the hard way. I always used Case equipment. I had two 580K’s...850C..and. 888 ..Along the way we used other equipment as well. Unfortunately,back then, there was very limited skid steer availability, and practically no mini excavators.....Good luck...
Love the vids
Getting into the dirt moving business. Cool I'm third generation digging holes and filling them in.
Seems like we do lots of dirt moving.
Tim. I have thousands of hours on a skid loader with tires. Work at a car dealership with lots of pavement. We use 2 new hollands for plowing. So much better than a plow truck. I Only a handful of hours on a track loader. Wish we had a track loader.
My new holland workmaster 25s tractor is great. But i struggle knowing it takes me forever to do tasks that our skid loaders will do quicker better faster easier. Good luck. You will not be disappointed with a skid loader/track loader. Power to push through dirt or snow piles like nothing you’ve experienced.
Tim. My Name suggestion would be Tracey If you get that. TRA for track loader and the rest a play off of Casey and case.
Well, that is interesting idea.
tracked one for sure if any, its a hunny.
This was an awesome video. Are you seriously thinking of one of these for your business, looks like you could get a lot done with the big attachments.
Tim, Have a look at the Avant loader. the loader is a articulated machine. i think the 700 series would be best for you
If your worried about damage to the yards try out the bobcat a300 or a770. It’s a wheeled skid loader that also has steering wheels
great machine and well put together video Tim, Wife, Roger is a smooth operator and knows his stuff. way to go Roger.
Did Tim count his fingers when he shook hands ? ROFL!
71k MSRP for just the machine... I always recommended one for your line of work, but forgot about the price tag! Lordy!
I know this is an old video but still loved it. I work in construction. Most of my co workers are also farmers and have skid loaders instead of loader tractors. I run skid loaders on a daily basis and while i feel like they have a place an a farm Ill just say a skid steer will NEVER replace a loader tractor......for me anyways
Keep on it will be "Construction Time with Tim".
"Construction Company Time With Tim" ......
Cue the Cat D10 ..... >8^)
If you get the v model with some practice you can scoop material out of a dump trailer or dump truck
Nice commercial, pretty awesome. Opposite of cheap. I like the serious consideration it seems you’re making. This other guy I watch on TH-cam. Wouldn’t consider unless it was blaze orange
WOW WHAT A BIG MACHINE
Tim you need to get one
You also you should the H pattern controls your able to make smother turns that way controlling each track
I love case never had a bad one get one with tires
Seems like that is going to be more useful than even a bigger sub compact.
Yes, potentially. Very nice machine. Lots of flexibility.
So y'all are working on hard turf and did very little damage, so no test on wet or damp sod. I'm positively sure that it will do alot of damage. I would say in the jd 2r or 3r range.
The 2r is a bit wider than the Johnny but can lift more and move more dirt or gravel. The 3r is bigger and can lift more than the 2r. And I do like the look of the Case. Might have to get one for a future farm.
please check out the Bobcat A770 it is 4 wheel steer it does not destroy the turf.I own an older A300 high flow it does well in the snow it also is powerful enough to run any attachment If you have any questions i will be glad to talk to anytime.GOOD LUCK!!!!!!! You inspired me to purchase a little Johnnie
I have a 2017 case sv 185 use it at home and to plow my parking lot for my business love the machine I prefer a vertical lift keeps the bucket away from the machine all the way up I just traded my 2014 same machine love it the fit and finish inside and out on a case is hard to beat like the kubotas interior rattles more engine noise no finish panels inside I like my case great machine
Tim you really need to check out the Kubota skid steers. Easy entry and exit to start with and pivot point and arm lift seems better
You need to try CAT. I have 3 and I love them. Try the 257D and 259D from CAT
Marcus Cardinali they more expensive and your paying $2000 per maintenance
My 259d.
Has sensor codes come up all the time.
Way for them to get more money
I’m 13 and operate a skid steer (2007 Bobcat S250). It takes nothing to learn my first time in it I was cruising around moving everything perfectly. My 11 year old brother could learn in 15 minutes it is really simple and easy to learn. Ours is tracks and much better for us even though it is a bit jumpy. The tracks tear up any land (gravel, grass, etc.) and are really only good in mud. We drove on lots of gravel and move around pallets of upwards of 4000lbs (very low moving around) just as any loader if you hold it low you can lift a lot more than rated. Ours is rated at 2500lbs but we can move a lot more if needed.
The bobcat a300 may be a machine to look at. The 'a' stands for all wheel steer. It can steer like a skid steer or you can hit a switch and the tires will turn when steering the machine.
Skid Time with Tim
Try out the kubota svl 75-2. Its very easy to service. The cab models have a door that slides up, and can be locked up so you can communicate better with people your working with easier when working in tighter quarters. Kubotas controls are way more responsive. 2 bolts and the the cab can lift for servicing the hydraulic system. All the filters are easily accessible. Kubota has a different type of lift so your bucket stays farther forward. Than some of the competitors. That makes it easier to load a dump truck more closely towards the center. There is way more information. That I could give about them. But by far out of all of the skid steers I've ran. Kubota is in my opinion the easiest to operate and the easiest to service
Thank you I’m looking for a tractor was first looking at a skid steer . Problem with skid steer is it’s heavy if your doing lawns it will make Ruts really badly . I was looking at a Subcompact tractor but think I need a compact due to a lot of brushogjng a few times a year on about 5 acres one is kinda sandy it’s the 3.5 acre lot the other two are more hardpacked it’s all weed abatement the fire department is all over it they just wait for rain the send out letters to cut our lots lol .. other than that will be for horse arena conditioning and rotate the dirt outta the stalls into the sun to keep stall soil clean and dry . And loading of course Gannon , rototiller etc .. also moving some logs into a trailer once in awhile and loading firewood . Just starting out and need to buy my tractor ASAP have jobs lined up trying to figure what to buy
I would look at the vertical lift path loaders, therefore if you ever had to load a dump truck you would have enough reach to do so.
Tim .....
Add a dump truck to the list .... Better make it a BIG one! ROFL! >8^)
Tim Christy its your decision sorry for my mispel cause im french from Canada but love your videos .
Thanks Leo!
You got your message across mate .... That's all that matters ... :)
I have a case 60 xt with a norm 4 in 1 bucket
You should look at bobcat skid steer
Tim, with a track loader, you would be able to do better clean ups with Danny. Clear snow in the neighborhood with a broom, drill post holes better without fear of breaking Johnny, grind stumps, and more.
Tim, first few implements might be a broom, grapple (root or scrap or skeleton bucket), 4-in-1 bucket, and maybe a leveling implement (land plane, SR3, Harley rake,).
Tim just some advice if you decide to go this route-I ran a Bobcat brand with the bushhog and it seemed to make the machine nose heavy and was hard to keep cutter level-not a very consistent cut. Johnny would do a much better job. Otherwise, awesome machines. I had a Case 850D dozer, 1987 model, solid machine, very reliable.
The dealer r commended front gauge wheels on the mower. Would that help in your opinion?
Yes I think it will help significantly. Also make sure glass is shaterproof in case debris hits it. I think you are heading in the right direction with the skidsteer.
Fun to play with, but for the part time project worker I would want to stick to tractors. Tractor wise, go bigger, but expect to have to compromise on the really small projects. Yards don't really require construction equipment. Can you really afford to switch over all of your implements? On another note, I bought the Edge Tamers you recommend (and the H.F. quick hitch) and I'm sure they will be fantastic on the yard this winter.
Thanks! You'll love the edge tamers.
I knew that the price of the track loader was going to be high, but my jaw still dropped!
This is MSRP...long ways from selling price.
You should make a video comparing ask the machines you have tried
Great machine you should get a demo machine on one of your jobs
I don't like case BUT with a week in the seat and you will be very comfortable. Track skid steer are very smooth ride
Yes, very smooth ride.
Rodgers was picking on Jonny lol they came a long way since the 90s use to run one at waste management here in town preparing landfills for hydroseeding back than I believe it just was the name brand bobcat but ran the bush hog rock hound and soil provliser the most of the time but a few years back ran one with a backhoe attachment and snow blower on a cat brand and that career I was a body man, jack of all trades master of none lol
That tracked loader is a lot fancier than my old Bobcat 753 that I had before I got my Kubota L3301. They both have the same kind of quick attach as that Case, though I have to get out to move the two lock levers. Wow, air conditioning! It looked like whoever adds the captioning had a couple of strokes there.
Did we make a mistake in the captions?
The caption @2:45 is much too accurate to be a mistake.
Yea. Technical difficulties apparently! We should have a contest for folks to guess what it was supposed to say!
Be VERY careful here Tim ..... >8^)
