- Small but mighty! When Blacktrac offered to lend us a demo Norcar to use on the farm, we couldn't turn down the chance to try it out. We love our tractor but sometimes you need some more muscle and this certainly gets the job done. 💪

#NORCAR #LOADER #FARMTOYS
Hi folks. As mentioned in the video, this is a demo machine on loan. We are not paid by Blacktrac or Norcar and have the machine at our expense, (insurance, fuel, attachments, etc). Therefore it means we will be able to give a real world test of the loader as we put it to work on our projects. Filming the full demo is as much for us to familiarise ourselves with the kit as it is to share with viewers, so thanks as always to Oscar for his time. 👍
Hats off to Blacktrac for their vision of hands on “advertising” (and customer support) and Norcar for their design and implementation. This is the kind of service and product that makes me wish I could be a customer.
Nothing stopping you
A friend of mine is running a similar machine as a groundsman on a big estate. It's crazy what they can lift. He's extracted very very large logs out of a pretty steep woodland, and it's pretty easy on the ground. There's so many attachments to, probably one of the most versatile machines out there. IMO
We have a large Manitou telehandler, primarily for loading grain wagons with a 3 tonne grain bucket and its the life of the farm. That little thing lifting your fence post stack was outstanding, what a machine for such a small footprint. Looking at your farm layout and what you need that thing is your perfect machine Tim. Always keep the boom as short as possible for each job and it'll serve you well for years and years and years.
I know it's not a toy Tim but I could play for hours and hours with that. Regards Jim.
Very interesting video! Great tool for the farmyard only, moving stuff around but then again so is a skid steer -which can turn on the spot. It can't compete with doing any normal tractor work either, -as many people incorrectly seem to think here, such as towing, cultivating, ploughing and seeding. For a start, the wheels are too small for wet field work and it has no rear three point linkage.
Boys and their toys, would like one myself but sadly don't have use for one 😐. Looks like an awesome bit of kit for your needs! Great video and thanks for sharing 👍
That is a much better machine for your application than a larger platform. You are both novice operators so having a smaller more capable machine is the right choice. With Jo getting confident operating this machine you'll be able to double team some serious work. I'd also definitely look at the fail mower attachment for the front. with the extending boom you will be able to mow the creek and pond edges more safely from a platform that can sit up on the edge of the bank and extend the mower over the edge and down the bank. A post hold knocker would be an interesting attachment, the bail grasp, as well as a small man basket for getting you to higher work areas. I'd use the hell out of this machine while you have it so you understand it limits. Take care D
Great support from Blacktrack and a highly versatile machine for your intended use around the yard. Impressive workhorse. 😎👍✅✅✅
I'm very impressed with the turning circle on that! Very nifty machine, I can see it getting a huge amount of use
So useful that tight turning circle,it's same with the Avant you can get in awkards area's with ease..
Fantastic piece of kit. Sounds like it's just what you needed.
Definitely looks like the right bit of kit around your compact farm yard. With a normal sized telehandler you'd forever be doing 20+ point turns.
And are you sure your dumper truck didn't have a little flirt with the neighbours telehandler when it came to visit? As it really is a baby cross between the those two.
That's a handy machine to have. Very versatile 👌
Looks a good peace of kit, you can't go wrong with plenty of training, thus prevents things going wrong and accidents happening, will make light work.👍🙂
I am sure Jo will love it😍
That’s a perfect addition to your build
Nice machine,i know a farmer that has got one but a different make he loves it for cleaning out small pens moving round bales into tight area,i think it's this is seconded one he had
Looks great fun. And notice you have been busy getting some OSB up on the cabin.
NorCar and Avant, both Made in Finland.
When moving a pallet, you want to put just a slight back tilt on rather than keeping the forks level, this is standard practice when operating a forklift, only time you have your forks level is when you insert or remove from the pallet.
Oh, and a tip I was given when I was certified is ‘low and slow’, keep your load as low as possibly can, and go as slow as you need, it’s better to take 2 mins a pallet than take the racking down, not that you need to worry about bringing 10m high racking down like I do 😅
@@almostanengineer are you sure you have got your numbers right there 5 m maybe as 25 m would be about 7 or 8 stories high and there is no forklift or telehandler on the planet that can reach that high and certainly no racking that high.
@@stanley626 yeah, I’ve got that wrong, bad estimating, it’s tall as crap, the plate on the forklift says max lift 10,400 mm 😅
@@stanley626 the guy who trained me was in his mid 50s, so perhaps he told me in feet and I’m rendering that 🤔
Looks like you have the perfect toy to deal with most if not all of the yard jobs. Another good vlog, thanks
I honestly think that for 90% of jobs this is far more useful than a small tractor, most jobs the Norcar can't do you would be better off with a full size tractor.
Great little machine alright.
I like tractors but they are a jack of all trades master of none. You will find yourself using the Norcar far more than the tractor. Tractors are not fun to use for loader work. It'll do it but it's not as easy or fast as something made to do it. With anything Hydrostatic is the way to go for speed and convenience.
Wonderful video my friend ＋👍🔔
Love to see the video where you do the school run with it ! - lol
The Norcar or Avant will do most if all the jobs your mini tractor can do any day all day
Fits the bill perfectly 👍🏻 from me
Looks brilliant, in fact if it was battery powered it would be perfect!
Battery would run flat
I love that thing, so versatile and nibble it suits the farm and looks really nice.
Looks good to me only time will tell 😁👍
It only versatile and practical but looks like a lot of fun…win win🤗🙋🏻♀️🇬🇧💕jane
Great bit of kit 😃👍
Love your work 👍
You might wear a lapel mic for better sound levels. The sound varies when someone is away from the camera.
Ah, yes all the audio equipment that went into storage in Feb. Hopefully find it all soon! 😬
I've been noticing the same. Normal volume for the intros, then up for the distance bits, then quickly down for the tractor/saw/nailer bits. Not a big deal, but food for thought Tim
@@adamconstable1377 I’m afraid it’s just how it is at the moment. Until this year we had multiple mics, studio speakers, editing desk. For now though we are back to a single camera and shotgun mic and editing on a laptop while sat in the car at the end of the day. So definitely room for improvement! 😬
@@TheRestorationCouple perfectly understandable and doesn't detract from the great content, just an observation. Nice to see the progress around the farm as well as the build. Carry on the great work!
What are your thoughts on Security for your farm and equipment such as your tractors and such, as your videos are seen by a lot of people ?.
You are number one culprit, I shall keep an eye on you, what is your real name please?
looks like a great piece of kit. would you be thinking of getting one of these and still keep the tractor, or would you need to choose between the two?
Tractor priority as we need it to manage the land, I do have arms after all so could still use good old elbow grease with most stuff.😂
@@TheRestorationCouple very true 😋
Although it articulates to a certain degree be very careful with a machine like that. The 'roll cage' is barely sufficient (i.e highly questionable) from a safety perspective. But if its just for material handling on a concrete surface then it should be quite a convenient machine (for a price). Its perfect for a small farm really (in and around the sheds) and far exceeds the capabilities of a fork lift in your use case context.
Lovely handy little thing. Just watch out with lifting heavy stuff: if you're maxing out and lifting high, then it could suddenly bend in the middle and no amount of steering will prevent that. It'll tip over very very quickly. Perhaps do some research on that
Dear Santa…
Still think a skidsteer is better, does alot more and so many attachments
Blacktrac Nice:)
Unusually when I came to watch the vlog
There was no sound !!!!
What a pity
For safety sake please get used to putting the forks down when they are empty and you get off the truck. Seen too many forklift accident videos, makes me shudder
For forklift safety videos, I must recommend Klaus!
Yeahhhh, another 24minute advert.
Then don’t watch, personally I’m actually quite interested in a bit of gear I’ll never need 😂
@@almostanengineer I didn’t watch, but hope you enjoyed it.
But at least you took the time to comment, Betty. Twice in fact. That's the main thing. 😄
@@jix177 3X now, it’s rude not to reply ; )
@@BettySwollocks13 it’s also rude to put a comment like the one you did.
Wow, over £30k, would get a top notch skid steer for that kind of money. Maybe get a demo on a JCB teliskid, a used one should be avalible for that kind of money.
Looks like a great tool.
