deere... ehhh... thanks for the video dave!
900 hours on that and it's in that shape?! wooof...
That thing was beat on
they're crap out of the factory@@LaLaLucky7777
It's a good thing that you know someone with dumpsters.😁
Thanks for the video mate, anything that has the least complicated electronics and Def system would be something to consider. But anything Andrew Camarata owns and hasn’t killed yet would have to be on the top of the shopping list. Cheers from down under.
HI Dave Its Super COOL Video
We have kubota SVL75s at my work and they have been a remarkable machine. We wanted to try the Takeuchi but the dealer is a little over 2 hours away. So we are staying with Kubota.
It looks like a handy machine, and driver too👍
Hey Dave! The block heater has to do with what engine is in it. You can put either a aftermarket block heater right into the built in port on some diesels, or they sell aftermarket magnet block heaters that you can just stick on anywhere that is flat on the engine, usually the oil pan.
Appreciate the info,
Tracks are the way to go. Have you looked into the rubber or metal tracks that go over the tires? Maybe save some money since you already have a wheeled loader!
Thanks for the video!
3/3/24..JD 323D Track Loader/SkidSteer with Bucket & Grapple. Looks like you love this machine, can do lots of different projects then load up debris into your Dumpster & off you go! You did diagnostic on fuel, no rev increase & fixed it & off you go...So Dave get this machine, you will use in on your new property, it wont go unused with your work ethic🔧⚙️🔩👍😊
I don’t like Deere myself. We had a 323D at work and it was junk. Traded it for a new 325G. The 325G has been fine so far but it just doesn’t feel as good as other brands. I’ve ran Deere, Cat, Case, Takeuchi, and Kubota. Cat is definitely the strongest but has the highest price tag. No complaints on the Case other than I didn’t like the layout of the controls. My personal preference is Kubota. Price is fair, controls are laid out nice, plenty of power, easy to work on (if you ever had to) and I have 3 Kubota dealers within 45 minutes of my house.
Thanks for info
I'd say that machine needs the glow plugs/glow plug controller/relay replaced, but then again given those electrical issues you encountered, who knows. Also from what i've seen on youtube so far, it seems like people often have problems with newer John Deere equipment right outta the gate.
Cool video to watch Dave. Everyone has a different opinion on these but ive been operating skid steers since 1982 back when Bobcats were called Clark. I used to live, breathe and bleed Bobcat. When Caterpillar came out with them i switched to them and i only recommend them now. I dont like JD because i feel like im sitting to low in them. Same with Kubota and they are hard to see out of. The best tracked model that Cat made was the 277B series. That machine would go anywhere d3 or d4 dozer would go. If you could find that model in good shape would be a good one to have. Dont go any smaller than a Cat 289 size. That size is perfect for what you do.
Thanks for info,
277b has a very weak and problematic undercarriage
Never have had a problem with mine. 6k hours and still going strong.
Find job is always Dave you done a good job brother now you need to get you one but hey you still got that John Deere sitting back there you want to get rid of it
It’s always great watching Dave. Hey sometimes that mail(person) has to get out of the truck. What can you do?
Peace
He’ll complain about my mail box again if he has to get out lol
I don't know jack about these but what I do know is that Andrew is a good friend of yours... if you buy what he has you won't regret it. And, you won't get the dreaded "...its garbage..." comment from Andrew. Have a good one!
Lol
Newer machines = bigger problems!!!! You know we like our old school machines! As much as I love my 6675 though, tracks would be nice!!!!
Yeah definitely, my 2000 John Deere has less issues
Hi I run a 2016 john deere 333E I love it has tons of power no issues in the cold but I have a 2014 Takeuchi tl10 and it's bullet proof I love both but Takeuchi is bare bone for cab wise both good skidsteers
👍
Another thing if your starting out on a skidsteer you will be more smooth on it if u use the throttle knob up on the side n leave the pedal alone constantly on & off the gas pedal makes u more jerky n them lil engines like constant rpm
Before you by it have it check before for the Électronique first .
Dave when you’re going to purchase your next skid stir to me support availability of parts were the most important things when you buy a piece of equipment you don’t wanna be spending an hour each way to go get parts I started with a case 1835 hand control my next machine was a bobcat 773 year was 2001 and got a back up machine I bought a little less 130 bobcat skid stir two of the machines were ihand control one was pedals the only thing I could ever do with pedals is write a bike but I needed it for a small job.. That why I purchase the machine…..I’m a bobcat guy but I probably look at case cause they close proximity in the area .. I’m about ready to purchase another machine in the lead to be bobcat an intermediate machine like an S 64 I don’t know what the case compatible is and I’m gonna go rubber tires……. I got steel tracks to go on my machine you wanna demo business trash business I’d probably go tracks or go steel tracks over the rubber tires you have a lot of options but the John Deere machine did impress me at all take care junkman do
Dose it have def ?
takeuchi anyday
Now you gotta wash it
Takeuchi seems to be unanimous, everyone who has one seems to be absolutely delighted with it.
Yeah I ran one it was super nice
I hate them with passion
@@MattyDardaniwhy? Specifically what’s your thing you don’t like? Only legitimate complaint I’ve ever heard was they cab door rattles like hell. True. But I’d rather have that than a swing out doos
@@DieselCreek
Can is a problem
-The controls on all the ones I have run are just off. Like the response is slow.
-The power is light.
-They are really loud. This is a me gripe because I have really good hearing so I pick up a lot of background noise that other people can’t hear. So listening to everything on the machine rattle with no sound proofing is annoying.
-A pain to work on
-Cab is cheaply made
-Seats are uncomfortable. Which may sound dumb but we have guys in machines for 12+ hours at a time so that matters for employees.
What I have found a lot of people coming from very old machines to a newer tachashitty or people buying their first skid love them. But guys coming from new main brands Cat, Deere, Bobcat and Kubota usually don’t like the tachashitty. But everyone is welcome to their own opinion. My autistic mind is sometimes not the popular opinion.
I will say they do hold there own in head to head match up and the cab door sliding up is amazing. It is a big gripe I have with my Cats because sometimes you need two people just to unload stuff since you can’t get out of the cab.
@@MattyDardani I’ve run every brand, cat cabs seem to be the best but in my experience the takeuchis have always seemed the strongest and most rugged. Old bobcats seemed decent but whenever doosan bought them out I thought they felt very cheaply made, I had a wacker neuson st45 on a job once and it was a very bare bones machine but honestly surprised me how stout it was and access was amazing. Deere and ASV also have the access thing down but I don’t care for their operation. Haven’t spent a lot of time in a kubota but I’ve seen working on them is a nightmare
2014 with low hours ridden hard, put away wet, ridden hard again...$38k. The world has lost its damn mind.
Every skid steer ive ever operated has always had some weird electrical quirks, like how are you supposed to depend on a basket case machine.
Is that thing hand foot controls or joystick?
Joystick lol
Not liking the cab design. Quite obscured vision. Could become dangerous if working around others or on an enclosed site
Probably my least favorite machines
I went to get in the machine yesterday and it was soaking wet. Apparently the roof leaks to. for a low hour machine. It seems to have a lot of issues.
Did you buy this John Deere skid steer
No, I wasn’t crazy about it
Machine don't look that old and seems to have some electrical gremlins already.
We have Takeuchi tl12v2 the only machine that can mulch without external cooling system . Alot of people talking about service . Learn how to work on your machine and save money and down time .
Shame that its been abused and neglected. John deere makes an excellent machine imo.
Truck skid steers are much better especially on muddy grounds.
I have 35 years old Hydra Mac 20cv that's in better shape than this and starts on first try lol, crazy how these new machines are made now, also got it for 1/10 of price of this John Deere
Andrew hates John Deere stuff, doesnt he? Maybe he's right
he said they always break, yanmars with 20,000 hours still run
Doesn’t the new John Deere’s have the yanmar motor?
I think so@@Dumpster_Dave
John Deere NOPE ! Not what it once was.
Buy a Kubota
Don’t waste your money get a Takeuchi or kubota
Bro what's wrong with kubota
@@apexgaming4306you misunderstood. They're saying don't buy the JD and to go with a Takeuchi or Kubota.
You need to learn ! Stay away from John Deere! Stick with Takuecihkiiiii Kubota ect Japanese baby
Second this Taka or Kubota
