- I took a chance & bought a Mini Loader-But I never used one before- never even drove one. Today we really test it-Can it work without tearing up grass? What can it actually do? Is it worth it? And then Franky has a Hoarders farm to clean-up so we check out if the machine could maybe help there.

I'm liking all the new stuff you've showing. Have a great Christmas and a prosperous new year to all your crew
Those machines are amazing. My old boss was installing boulders for me on a job and it lifted a 1500-2000 pound boulder no problem. It’s awesome
nice yellow crooks in the shop!!! safety first! LOL
I liked this machine but I liked the most of the wide tires
3:29 ---- like a mini Nascar pit stop, in slow motion 😄
Love the videos
Interested in a long term evaluation of this type of leader. May want to purchase one
Sorry stutters don’t know what causes it keep up good work.
never would have thought to use a fence to grade dirt. huh
there is a way better brand that is basicly the same but better! They are called Avant!
AGREED! a lot better machine for the cost of it!
Yep! I'll take an AVANT any day over this.
What is the reason Avant is better?
@@eliasnull What is the reason Avant is better?
Is this air-conditioned?
Chicken feathers
You should do a comparison of a skid steer and that machine on grading. See which does better
Joshua Hedrick it’ll be really hard to be a skid loader for that. Not to mention a skid load is bigger and more suited to grading.
This type of machine dominates the market in europe, for this reason we do not see skidster loaders here, the main brands are Avant (made in finland) and Multi One (made in italy), both brands are known for the infinite number of tools available and their versatility if you deal with gardening, planting grass, small earthworks or agriculture and animal breedingin cramped conditions, it is an ideal machine, especially the largest machines of these manufacturers, although they are still small and agile.
You have multi one, but not cast? They're both from Italy.
We do have Cast, but they're not as common as Avant and Multione. There are several loaders of this size available. "Knickmops" from Belgium, little bigger "Weidmann", "Kramer" and "Schäfer" from Germany/Austria, several smaller European and a bunch of of Chinese manufacturers.
Bobcat recently presented two smaller models which are not offered in Europe yet.
You see them a lot here. Besides smaller streets, yards and work space in general one reason is weight. With drivers licenses for cars and trailer, we are limited to 3.500kg for each car and trailer. To haul machines without the need of a commercial truck license, they may not be heavier than about 2.700kg. So this size machines comes in handy.
Avant just superb,used the 635,like it's ability to be able to lift 2245 lbs (1.1 ton) loads & the bigger 860 is even better, can't fault them.
wiktorlol in the Netherlands we don't really come around these type of machines, but we regular see Weidemann, Giant, Schäffer and Knikmops much more often
I've got one built by EIMCO in the 80s for underground mines. It's a handy little utility machine; visibility, ground disturbance, and tire wear are all better than a skid-steer plus the bucket is giant. I'm renting it out to an underground gold mine.
I love your videos but a landscape guy let a pile of stone sit for 5 years...haha.
I guess that’s like a mechanic not wanting to work on his own car
Contractors spend all of there time doing work for other people, and often times dont have time to do work for themselves.
The old saying “A carpenters wife never gets new cabinets” is a philosophy that applies to most trades. Lol. I have done lots of remodels but put off my own renovations for years.
Very true, when I leave the shop. I'm done!!!! If I get a mechanical question outside of work or customer asks about there equipment.....well I don't bother the fello putting siding on my house, when he's done i get bill I pay
jeeze! I bet the 'snap-on ' tool chest cost more than the loader.
I bet it does
Guess there isn’t a harbor freight near buy.... lol
More than my house !
@@johnsteffen5908 gggf
Why does it matter how much the guys box was if he likes and is happy with it who cares
Looks like one of those cool toys that a small part costs twice what it should.
I’m sure of that
Stan can you please let people know how much equipment cost in the future!
Theyre about 20k usd depending on brand, and accessories
It’s very simple to look up how much equipment cost it all depends where you are so if your curious look the machine up yourself it’s better for you so you can get a mor accurate price
Good suggestion!
Hey Stan
Do you recommend this unit ?
Looking to replace my Steiner 525
Nobody is asking the important question. Who was the strange dude?
Let’s see how it does with snow removal in the winter
Stephen McGrath I’d be a little worried it doesn’t have the weight to push much. But I think with the locking diffs and turf tires it will surprise what it can do.
I use a much smaller one. An avant 225. I bet that cast loader can push allot of snow. My avant 225 can push some decent piles and very fast for sidewalks.
diego chacon, would you be willing to give me more info on your avant? I am trying to purchase a small articulated loader in the next week and would love some honest feedback.
@@peterchase5273 yes, i will tell you this. I love my avant, great little machine. It will out perform an mt55, dingo, and mostly all track machines this size. My workers have tipped mine over 2 times, and no damage. The panels are plastic, and they are held in by some screws. I haven't had too much damage in the 600hrs in 2 years i have put into the machine. We don't use it lightly. We use it commercially, we are definitely hard on the machine. We use it to move allot of landscape rock, dirt, some boulders. I can send you more info if you would like, so i don't write such a big essay on here. You can send me an email at Info@modernscapesllc.com and i can send you allot more info.
There are chicken feathers in the garbage bags!
I have 3 friends that all own a Avant for their Landscaping companies... They really are badass and super versatile....they make a ton of attachments for these mini's,too...Cool Vid👍
I think avant is original
I also love the Avants. Better designed than this brand
missing a spot lubing and working in crocks? stay away from that place!
Great demo Stan, ditchwitch sells a mini skid-steer adapter plate so as full size skid-steer attachment can fit on a mini skid-steer size machines.
its a toy, i hope it cost no more then 5000$?
Heck ya break it BEFORE ya buy it💪👍 that’s how I do it too!!
He already bought it, as he stated in the video. The other thing on the trailer is what he was testing.
This machine seems pretty awesome. Portability like a Dingo but has a cab. More cajones than a Terramite while retaining a low operating weight.
I have watched this part 10 times and it still is driving my crazy....my OCD (which I didn't realize I had, until just now) is going full-throttle......Tell that dude, that is assembling this equipment for you, that his sockets are upside down (1:50 into the video), the sockets are suppose to sit the other way......
The bottom of the studs in those trays have a larger shoulder that only allows the correct socket to fit. so that you can't mix them up (i.e. you cannot put a 10mm in place of a 12mm, etc.) and it allows the socket to sit lower so you can see the size (marking) on the tray studs
You can't put a 10mm in place of a 12mm because you can't ever find the damn 10mm.😁
@@MentalCatalyst TRUE!!!!! LOL
@@MentalCatalyst lmao
Growing up we always had this kid in the neighborhood, little rich kid. He would always come outside with his new 'whatever' while we watched. Kinda like you in this new video! I want a turn! Looks like fun and a keeper. Thanks. Sonny (CT)
I think that's far from the truth my guy , he has worked for all this money unlike a little rich kid 🤷♂️
So when did we hear the ungreased joint that the tech forgot to lube? You said we'd hear it... I was anxiously awaiting for that moment!
I wondered the same.
You can hear it when he goes over the wire at the farm
I heard it👍
Ok, it was at 20:12. Sounds nasty indeed.
Bradco makes a perfect adapter plate to be able to run full size attachments on the mini machines.
no offense the music you play in the background is annoying ..................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
1:50 sockets are all upside-down on the organizers
Yep that's how I had mine when I first got those organizers before I realized they were meant to go square up
@@towtruckaj I tried showing a couple guys I used to work with how they went but they just didn't understand 🤔
@@AndyFromm You showed them and they couldn't comprehend? Once you realize it, makes it super obvious because you can see the sockets drop a quarter-inch giving better visibility of the markings as well as the sockets are more stable.
@@towtruckaj exactly, some people are just stubborn.
Definitely recommend Avant any day over this!
We've an old avant 520 plus it is bullet proof
WOW, YOU LOVE BUYING JUNK, FIRST THE CHINESE PAYLOADER, NOW THIS JUNK. SOONER OR LATER YOU WILL FIGURE OUT, LONG TERM JUNK LIKE THAT COSTS YOU MONEY IN THE LONG RUN.
not to be a nerd or anything but where is the safety in this workshop for example the guy at 3:51 wearing crocks
Why is it not safe to wear crocks?
it would like to put this one against a avant loader, I think a avant will do a little better, it also got a lot of possible attachments (my englisch sucks but i'm dutch)
The Avant is definately a better machine
Thay make Adapter to go from the mini skid steer quick attach to the normal skid steer quick attach the right around $400 on eBay maybe a little bit more
Cool little machine and love the light weight. The most important question, how much does it cost??? Where are dealers, how reliable are they and parts/service centers? I see a lot of pages that say UK.
We're you about to find the cost on one?
LOL, at first glance about 25:02 I thought stan found a use for that popped off loader door. 🤯🤣
So this is what Ford means when they say there trucks are assembled in America?
Try the same machine but from 'kramer , weidemann, ahlmann or schafer they seem better than yours
Thanks for the Video...What song is at 21:15?
About how much does one of these cost?
I found one for $32k it looks like it’s the same as this one
i bought a bobcat t190 for that price.
David Silvia I’m not sure if that’s good or bad lol. Is that a skid steer?
@@aarondawesum yea ac and heat, with tracks, it will pick up over a ton. 66hp turbo diesel
Not sure but looks like it’s from Italy.
Can you teach me how to rip a door off of a piece and Equipment considering you have experience at it
I want to see a video of a walk around of this equipment. Like what engine it's running Kubota or what?
So uh, what were the torque specs again? 2 urgadurgas? 😂😂
Its ugadugas
I thought it was ooga doogas
Cool! The only thing I would have changed would be the tires and wheels. Big OL wide white wall tires with chrome spinners would set that off hahaha! OH, and a combo bucket.
Sam is gonna be bummed he didnt get to grease it first lol
Haha no kidding! I think he has a fetish for greasing equipment.
@@timmanus, best kind of employee to have !
august amen to that! Wish more people would be like that these days
what is the song at 21:29
I have no idea why anybody would want a machine with the cab on the front articulated frame on a loader. Not me. You can keep it. Horrible design.
Scott McQuarrie they work great
They keep you straight with your load when you turn. It also acts as a counterbalance when you turn as well.
Visibility is Way better than a machine you sit on the back. Go to Avants website and watch their comparison videos! avanttecno.com
I'm glad you guys like it. That's your prerogative. But I ran old case and Hough wheel loaders like that and I and every other operator that ever ran one, especially in tight city streets, think that they are horrible. I do not like cab forward design whatsoever. That's why Deere's high speed dozer failed and all full sized wheel loaders are rear mounted cabs. Giant makes a little wheel loader with the cab on the rear frame. That looks like a nice machine.
The Giant small wheel loader sucks. Yea you get to sit on the back but the frame flexes and it is really top heavy. They roll way to easy.
What machine is this? I’d like to check one out
If you realy want a good loader you have to try the ahlmann, i have workd with it a couple of times and its just great you can do so much with this machine you cant imagine it greetings from the netherlands
Btw,they do make a universal mini to full size adapter for these...but, definitely add some counterweight if you do that...it's a must,if you wanna run anything 72"..My buddy uses a 72" grapple on his and carries 24" x 84" solid pine logs,like it's nothing and leaves absolutely no damages to the ground.. they're awesome little machines
Seems like it’s lacking on power?
I have a multi one mini loader love great and handy machine around the farm
Every one of your videos are so interesting keep doing what you are doing because everyone loves it and can't stop watching
All I can think while watching this video is how great a Ventrac would be for this job lol
That is Frankalogic right there
It would be nice to see it work every day for awhile too see its durability. I don't like that the switch for the 4 wheel drive isn't on the joystick, it would make it hard to use.
Would prefer avant loader over cast, I hope you can lock that drive in to stop it skidding up the hill🤔 my avant locks the wheels in front to back so you can still turn and you need a 4 in 1 bucket my friend
You must have missed the part where he shows the switch for all wheel lock.
Yea Avant will do waay better than this machine!
@@eliasnull I will disagree with you on that. I was the first Avant dealer in the country. I have many years of experience on both. I have thousands of hours on them both in My landsape company.
How is Avant way better and what experience do you have to say that?
Guessing hockey might be a fella named Dustin ;-)
@@thephishh Hey Kye, you got it.😁👍
Could you tell me what song it is playing at 21:21?
Is it possible to make the pea gravel area a fire pit area?
I almost tipped one of those over at GIE. My friend was standing in line next to the reps and he quoted, “ Well that’s the first time that ever happened!” All I did was try to scoop dirt and lift halfway on uneven terrain and she all most toppled over.
We've one of the old avant 520s and they tip so easily
@@callummccann3747 that was what it was an Avant.
using chrome on that impact? isnt the "rule" to use impact sockets w impact wrenches? So I've been told
How come you didn't use any ground cloth before laying down that rock? Are you trying to prevent weeds from coming up?
I have a friend who used a chrome socket and almost lost his eye. Took a chunk of his upper cheek out.
@@kylejackson3076 that's horrible... chrome just shouldn't be used on impacts
Looks just like my Avant 420 ,awesome machine btw, now I see this and bobcat I think has a similar machine now.
How much does it cost?
Is it good to lease equipment i am 24 and thinking about starting my own landscaping business or fire break business
Some times yes, sometimes no. It’s situational. For something you’ll use a lot, sure a lease is OK. But other wise it’s just a long term expensive rental if you can’t utilize the machine enough and you’re left with zero equity in the machine. Personally I’d suggest starting with used machines and buying them outright.
The telescopic feature is awesome
Looks like it would make a great flower bed mulcher. Light weight, wide turf tires. and HUGE bucket. Perfect. Any thoughts?
That machine sounds like "Black Sabbath" playing to loud and too long.
idiotic statement
I wonder if that would work good on clearing sidewalks of snow.
Good views of what rural Minnesota lake country looks like!
Look at the Avant (green machine). Ran one for 4 years and it was the best machine I had ever used. Could lift 2,300lbs (full pallet of block), fit through fence gate openings, and didn't tear up the grass like a bobcat would.
Avant is from Finland!
What model did you have? I’m selling my DW SK1050 and want one of these bust same width to get in gates
Frank needs to get 4 trash dumpsters and 1 scrap dumpster and 3 laborers, for that hoarder job...
My only concern with those machines they can flip easily if you turn to sharp with a high bucket
All narrow loaders will do that on sloped ground.
@@Porty1119 but also on even ground,
@@jappiegamez Sounds like the bucket is too large for the material then, and the machine's articulated tipping load is exceeded.
Music??
My wife giving me that stop working and spend time with the family look. I've been there many times myself!
NEVER work under anything with hydraulics with out some sort of jack
Franky has found the candy store.
What's in the bags? Chicken plucker and chicken coop I'm guessing chicken feathers
Nice machine. Now I want one. It would be perfect for me.
I can tell you from 22 years of experience. Number one sign a tech has no clue what hes doing is a huge snap on box and snap on tools. Then he torqued with and electric impact with and extension. No wonder he missed a grease zert. Not a pro obviously hes a noob
If you like this you should check out the Avant's. Very Similar machine.
Looking at all of that $nap-on equipment in the shop looks like lost of pass-down overhead. Is there a compact loader that is under $20k other than used ones?
How much the payments On something like that? That’s really nice For a little landscape jobs
Have not finished the video yet so if this is covered my bad. Could you please do a side by side comparison of this and a skid steer? Pros and cons etc
Skip first half of video….just putting wheels on. Doesn’t even tell us what the machine is👎
Thanks. I'm looking to start a landscaping business and trying to figure out what I want as a first machine.
Did you look at the avant tecno loaders they look very similar.
Awesome rig. Thanks for the video.
Awesome machine. My research showes that It is a company from Italy. Where did you buy it and how much it cost?
What's your model.have you kept it? $75,000 ish?
Damn I missed this part where you finally got the rocks moved..
So who was the "strange guy"? Question the wife.🤣
4:40 no pride in workmanship, putting them weights on while still dirty, come on bud grab a rag first
Amazing what people do to save a buck lol... All that effort to relocate a battery to the crash bar.. Oh boy
What is the brand
Cast Loader
Franky should mounted the batteries in the bed of the truck and then ran one to the winch and one for the truck and then they would charge up but only one would run the winch
I like those yellow steel toe crocs!
Sorry about the door but thats what happens when you work with it open. If you snap the other one off you wont hav to worry about that problem again!😳😳
