- I didn't want to spend an arm and a Leg on a wheel loader just to wreck it snowplowing. Then I heard Volvo has a brand called the SDLG. I've been in the Volvo factory and I know there quality. So when I heard the SDLG was part of the Volvo family- I jumped on it.

Seems like he’s convincing himself that he didn’t just buy a POS... the salesmen’s facial expressions say it all
You couldn't be any more right, I'm thinking same thing. Just because he says its Volvo backed doesnt make it true.
These loaders are total garbage.
@@barder194 SDLG (Shandong Lingong Construction Machinery Co., Ltd.) is a leading brand in the Chinese construction equipment industry. Founded in 1972, the brand, now a part of the Volvo Group, promises "Reliability in Action" with reliable products and services that maximize productivity and lower operating costs to deliver customer value.
Most china equipment stuff is junk. I bough a excavator bucket in a Ritchie bros auction brand new. Turns out it was chinese and basically made from wrought iron. We worn it out in the rock in 1 month lol. China is throw away crap, but it for one job then scrap it
@@ChuckBeefOG A lot of it can be junk. I have a 8100 Sany crane we use for sheet piling/hoisting/ caissons. North American Cummins, Kawasaki pumps. It has 5000 hours on it now of tough work and it has been a great machine- even compared to 218 HSL Link Belts. Not everything CHinese is junk anymore.
I was at the Volvo customer center a few weeks ago. They straight up told us these machines are designed for 3-4 years of use then melt down for scrap. Almost exclusively sold in Asia.
You believe that? The salesman is paid according to the total bill. Smaller price means smaller commision . Salesmen almost always push the most profitable product to you. I guess we will see.
For accounting purposes, can you depreciate them over 3 to 4 years and then sell them on the secondary market?
GratefulSledHead : It may take 7 yrs to depreciate, then you could sell it. But you have to claim the selling price as income !
Yeah it looks like
Certainly depends on how it's being used, loading rock all day every day it probably wont have a long life but a few hours a week pushing snow it will probably hold up ok. The big issue to me is its underpowered, just slip it into neutral to pick up the bucket of snow?? What's going to happen in the summer when you're running the a/c and trying to load stone? I would have taken that 68k and bought a good used deere.
I know blokes who have been running these machines on farms in outback Aus for years and love the simplicity of them. Minimal down time, a couple of them have several thousand hours and their owners are still happy. People need to remember when Komatsu came on the market people said they are junk and will never compete with or do the work of the Cats, how wrong they were.
Dame with Yanmar and Daihatsu.
Good point! I look forward to seeing how it does. I think he will be happy with what he's using it for. I wouldn't buy one to load out trucks with every day but it's not designed for that either.
The komatsu we had out at the pit was the biggest pos I had ever seen ( open cut mine) my Cat 980h would run circles around it thing had so many hydrolic problems
@@craigjb That is their biggest drawback, creates the most downtime
I bought one of these companies small excavator, it runs the same engine, pump, swing motor and drive motor as all the same in the 1.7 tonne from other dealers. Parts are easily sourced across the country (AUS) and easy to get service gear but no break downs yet and it’s running in the desert.
Lenny & Squiggy are selling heavy equipment now?
😆
good one
Super sketchy looking dudes. :)
Jason Krisiak 🤣
😃😃😄😄
I would be afraid that I bought a wheel loader for the price of a skid loader and in a few years sold it for the price of a wheelbarrow.
Hahahahaha best and most true comment on here lmao
At the end of every work vehicles life it’s worth nothing so I can understand him taking the chance on a new piece of equipment
He does mention this in the video. For the cost of the cheap one it can be scrapped at the end of its working life and still be quids in from parts, fuel economy etc etc in comparison to the pro machines. Better than buying the Case for example and using it for its working life and selling it for the price of a wheelbarrow. You don't buy these new to sell them 3 years down the line like a car, you buy them new and run them into the ground.
Then save your money and wait several more years for your CAT loader. And add a huge monthly mortgage payment to your budget for years to come.
@@aarons4996 100%. Write the price off over the contract.
"I don't need bells and whistles..."
Couldn't agree more. The more "accessories" if you you will, the more complicated issues you will encounter, the more expensive the repair(generally). One thing I've learned from your channel is that one must pair the piece of equipment/ machine with the correct operator to achieve maximum efficiency and productivity.
Thanks for the comments Austin!
@@Dirtmonkey hey mate how can i get in contact with you? Im in Australia would like to have a chat
We have an old Deutz tractor on are farm now it is out dated and OLD, but it does get the job done it’s a great tractor last time I checked I think it had 8,000 hours on it with no issues. It is also a 5 cylinder air cooled engine the Germans really now how to build engines that last
Lucas Danz same here those deutz
We have a wheel loader (FAUN) with that air cooled 5 cylinder Deutz
I doubt this is a German made deutz.
Perkins made the mistake of a Chinese partnership and production over there, quality issues caused them to end the agreement but the Chinese manufacturer still uses the Perkins name without permission, could be a similar situation with deutz as their equipment is so expensive I can't see it being installed on a budget loader.
Turbo Conquering Mega Eagle I’m pretty sure it’s actually a deutz engine I wouldn’t think they would allow it to be imported with counterfeit parts
@@georgebanuelos1 I was curious so I looked... Deutz were partnered with a Chinese company from 07 to 18 when they withdrew completely and are still looking for a new Chinese partner, I'm not saying it's a counterfeit engine, just that there are probably still boxes of deutz stickers in the factory which are being stuck on the engines.
Actually, “SDLG” is an acronym of sorts for Shandong Lingong Construction Machinery, a Chinese manufacturer
This video does not do anything positive for your image and the perception your followers have of you. Definitely a bit off the rails here and not your finest moment sir.
Maybe he is laughing as he made it clear SDLG were NOT Volvo and yet you seemed convinced that it was.
2am watching a UA-cam video about a snow plow in a country that doesn't get snow. UA-cam recommendations on point.
Thank you for watching !!
Wow, at under 15k lbs, you can tow this with a 35' Gooseneck (9-11,000lbs) behind a newer dually pickup.
Big Truck Big RV - Like the new Limited trim Ram 4500/5500 chassis cab that we don’t yet know if there’s a mega cab configuration?
;)
Hmmm , depending on the deck height the loader is 9 '7" so would a gooseneck trailer make it too tall to tow

you can come back and talk when youre grossing 100k or 120k like we do all the time.
Big Truck Big RV is spot on. I love his channel ^that is the name of it. He does his research well. He studies the various trucks, trailers, and RV's.
Go watch, use the search bar on his channel you'll see.
I had studied up on them before because I saw Tony Beats (On Goldrush) use a mid size SDLG loader. The article said that Volvo was catering to the people who want a more simple robust Loader without a the technology. Also have been around since the 1970's. From sounds of it they are not knockoff at all.
Dude was laughing because volvo is an importer/share holder not the manufacturer and they way you were describing it makes it sound like volvo is producing them and doing quality control
volvo definitely doesnt manufacture those things. but china as a country makes foreign companies partner with local ones if they want to operate there. so the "big" ones get cheap labor, and the local ones get the know how for free. and, when the designing company stops making one product. ofthen the chinese company will start making it with its own brand.
it happens with this things. it happens with motorcycles as well. i remember working on a friends CFMOTO 650nk, and the fking engine is the same 650 twin as the "old" kawasaki ER6N.
Ive seen even some forklifts with deutz engines from china. i cant remember the manufacturer. but theyre the exact same thing as the post 2000´s water cooled 4 cyl deutz.
These are the two sketchyiest looking dealers I've ever seen lol
cusefan75 lmfao was just thinking that had to see if someone commented
They dont seem to confident on repping that turd
Were near the cuse you at?? Im one county north
Bwhahahaaaa! I'm not saying this is the case, but their body language is like they just sold him a turd and now they know their faces are forever captured on the internet.
They never admit it's from China, just unable to spit it out

@@fuzion430journey3 they look very shady
Total greasy salesman. Chewing gum, slicked back hair. Where’s the cigarettes and clicking pens
The salesman said Volvo owned part of the company, facilitate the importing and servicing. Your imagination got carried away implying that Volvo engineered or manufactured it!🤣
True
My thoughts exactly. He gets all horny about the Volvo factory floor but in no way is this actually made by Volvo
Just another idiot with more money than brains. This wheel loader is made by Shandong Lingong Construction Machinery Co., Ltd., out of Linyi, Shandong. Volvo is just the parent owner of the company. Volvo has nothing to do with the company at all, other than being a shareholder and helping import their products to the US market. It is the same way that Fiat owns Chrysler and Tata Motors owns Jaguar and Land Rover.
This machine is Chinese, Volvo is Chinese... enough said..
@@R.E.HILL_ Volvo isn't Chinese. It's from Sweden. They have factories in a few countries now but only one in China that makes the S40 and S80
I recently plowed and moved snow for a contractor near me. I worked for 32 hours,no breaks but coffee once,shoveling and snow blowing and still havent been paid. All his equipment was not maintained properly and i was put on a new contract that was one of the larger ive ever done in an old bucket truck with a hydrologic bottle for the controller and it only went to the left. I have never truly noticed the difference of good and bad equipment and when i started for the new guy i plow for our jobs are getting done faster, more confidence taking on larger accounts and less time not pushin snow due to breakdowns. Just thought id say thanks for all the videos. It does help. I am only 22 but ive pushed snow since i could reach a clutch and in and on just about anything with tracks and wheels. Nice machine and great investment i might tell my boss about one
Thanks Evan and hope it all works out for you !
Their snow lease program is where it's at. It actually cost us less to have the machine for the year than to rent a skid for 5 months during the winter. We decided to try one of the exact same machines last year, this year we got two more with the 2 yard snow buckets and will probably get another one or two next year. What made us try them is the cost. We couldn't see spending twice the money on the premium brand loader that will only be used to push snow,load mulch and rack up only 200-300 hours a year. I can run two of these machines with metal Pless plow maxx 10-16 for the same price as a 3 yard loader with a 16 foot standard pusher. Me and the other operators love them, they may not have the bells and whistles like a premium loader but what do you need other than the camera which stays on at all times a plus, radio and heat, They push snow just as well as my cat 420e backhoe. Only things that we would add would be faster road speed so we could drive them from site to site more often they top out at 15mph and a little more hp (74 hp so you don't need def) for our long pushes when we get heavy wet snow. We couldn't not be happier with our machines so far and our local Volvo dealer has been great.
Thanks for the comments Darren and glad it working out for you !
Stan....you spent too much time convincing yourself that you made a good purchase (which I doubt you did) in the mean time, those two Guido's you call salesmen just dumped a body they took out of their trunk into a local lake. Congrats
It's not made in that "eat of the floor" Volvo factory. It doesn't make Volvo look bad when it goes to crap. (That's WHOLE point. It doesn't have Volvo's name on it, specifically for that reason.) And it is a "grey market piece of crap. It's not a Volvo "sister company," Volvo just brings them into the US. Nothing about it is Volvo. And for $70k, that's a lot of friggin money for a Chinese loader. Talk to me in 100 hours and then in 500 hours.
Thats what I was thinking. For just doing snow... probably better off just buying a 30 year old machine like a hough or michigan.....
big d Chinese parts means cheaper parts plus the motor is amazing
@@georgebanuelos1 If you can get the parts! Tommorow yes, but in 5 years? The problem with Chinese manufacturers is many are pretty 'fly by night' companies
Galaxy no. It honestly amazes me how little people know and yet how smart they think they are these days..
@@carterk116 So much so it's even got it own name in psychiatry now - the 'Dunning-Kruger effect'. The more stoopid you are, the more you think you know 😂.
So this is what beavis and butthead are up to these days.
It isn't a Payloader, that was a product made by International... the SDLG is just a wheel loader, kinda.
One of those salesmen looks like a younger Fred Gwynne.
Dang...people getting riled up over this one. You do you. Guess time will tell if this was good move or not.
How are you doing
I wouldn’t buy anything from those sketched out Weasles😂😂
That machine or even a skid loader is EXACTLY what I need for my business! Love the channel I watch it a lot. This is my first season ever in the snow plow/removal business, I’m running an 08 Ram 1500 with a 7’6” 1st generation minute mount plow. This storm we just got was pretty cool to be a part of cleaning! 2 feet of snow in some places around me, 16 inches where I live! I’d love to meet you one day I’m in New Hampshire!
This will make a great yard machine when not moving snow or sweeping streets
Those two guys are as untrustworthy as they come. It wasn’t awkwardness in front of the camera. It was used car salesmenship. Also that thing is more Chinese looking than a happy ending massage.
Gerard Lieb Cuz it’s not Thai?
I think they were uncomfortable with all the talk about how cheap it is. You could tell they were worried about saying the wrong thing.
I agree
maybe they are more uncomfortable that stanley isnt letting them do their job as salesmen
Josh B I thought they looked more uncomfortable when he was saying how good it is and that it’s Volvo quality.
You kept talking Volvo quality and backing.. those two guys sure steered away from agreeing
Those sales men looked sketchy and looked like they were hiding something
That is so much like a Vovlo loader doors with grease fittings, battery boxes in the same place, same windows, same arm rest. We run a Vovlo L120 for moving pulp wood and loading chips.
That's the way of the world nowadays everything is cheap and throw away.
its the only way to make money now
having had to dig batteries out of some tough places, where they didn't really benefit from any practical warmth, I like the battery box on the outside
WTF...A mid-size tractor would do the same with the front loader for half the money he paid for this loader...
That's what I was wondering too.
I was thinking to myself, I could buy 3 used john deere 410 backhoes for 68 grand!
I love the grease fittings being easy to access, but at the same time they routed them with hard lines in some areas that will be easy to get hit with sticks and rocks and damage them.
I thought the same thing when I saw that too. If you are just moving snow and dirt it probably won't be an issue. But yeah, anywhere else and that line will get mangled.
Same with the fuel filler, I thought.
I thought the fuel filter was more inside the engine bay, but I don't remember and don't care to watch again lol, but I had a tractor where there was some electrical stuff that was sort of near the PTO at the back. I was tilling one day and a stick or something must have shot up and severed that line. Needless to say, any of my equipment now a days, I make sure has all the cords or whatever out of harms way, even if I have to extend them.
This is also a loader, not a bulldozer, these typically dont spend their time in those parts of the jobsites
Old School equipment ....since 2016
Does your twin brother Richard Rawlings build these?
Well at least there no def to worry about! I like the mindset behind it! If he can make double the money for the same price as a skid steer it may pay for itself before major repairs happen it may go a long time before issues! And remember every equipment has issues no matter what the make. We’ve had brand new dump trucks have nothing but trouble with emissions not a cheap fix. I’m excited to see how it works out for you Stan! Hope the best and it makes you the money your looking for! Keep up the great videos
Thank Alex and thanks for the comments!
After being in the snow business for 16 years this is a fantastic unit that can make you a ton of cash. Nice job Stan, this is some super good info. Keep bring that valuable content.
Thank you !
This loader seems to have more pros then cons and I'd definitely consider it if I needed to purchase one
I've always heard the line "Buy once cry once" when you spend the money. I hope it pans out for your sake.
Salesmen love that line!
@@jay90374 People that sell junk hate that line. They love you buying their #1 Best Shenzhen junk once a year.

This is just a first impression. He cant give a 1000 hour review until he has used it for 1000 hours.... and im certain he will do that because that is basically what his channel focuses on. Buying machinery/tools and reviewing it over a long period of time.

Oh before I forget your video music is kick ass!! Thanks for the great tunes!
You're welcome Greg, thanks for watching!
Oh gawd, it doesn’t have a heated seat, no Bluetooth hookup to the digital screen, however will it push snow or move dirt. Always apply the kiss principal. I’ll be willing to bet at a 1000 hours the ride control computer doesn’t go out of it, the particulates filter doesn’t need changed, or the ecm in not throwing error codes due to a faulty ground or moisture in the harness. There is a difference in paychecks I like to sign the back and not the front! I cannot fault your buying decision one bit, keep on rolling Stanley!
hope you got 2 of them so you have spare parts when this thing goes south in the middle of a snow storm because my best guess is volvo isnt going to stock parts for this pos.
Parts will be an issue. This will fail in the "machine down" I need a part catagory
You must of missed the part where they said Volvo is dealing them an stocking parts for them.
That little machine is a great idea Thanks Stan for finding new ways to spend my money
Lol, thanks Rodney!
Check out Kubota as well they have a loader about this size as well that's very nice

I think it looks cheap, those two guys who sold it look like they are shady used car salesmen but I hope I am wrong and its works out great.

Lolololol they do look super shady.
Kind of.
Definitely not CAT salesman type.
In that’s a good thing MM
U can tell the salesman is a bullishitter by the closed eyes every time he had to answer a question
Let’s see an update on this to see if it’s really that good!
I could see this being good for certain things.
Also, I've been an operator for 20 years. I got my start on loaders and soon became a finish loader operator and moved on from there. Never have I used that feature that kicks the transmission into neutral when you hit the brakes, I never switch the machine into neutral while raising the bucket either. Theres really no point in doing either. Since you're typical running in second gear, if you have too, hold the brakes hard and push down on the go pedal.
Anyway, best of luck with your new machine!
Everytime he said Volvo this and Volvo that about the machine, those guys faces were saying not even close bro... XD
Hey that thing actually sounds like a diesel! i like that, call me old fashioned but i love listening to the engine noise! How loud is it in the cab?
i remember you trying out a wheel loader on the channel
They are a deutz diesel engine. It's not too noisy in the cab either. I believe most volvo dealers would sell and repair these loaders if your ever looking for a cheap loader....
In the beginning these guys look like they pooped their pants and are trying to hide it.
I'm assuming they are not used to being on camera
😂
especially when he called it cheap they seemed kind of embarrassed.
American Appreciation hat. "Makes video buying knock off equipment." Love it!
I bet that little guy is a blast to operate on small jobs like that.
I don't think this has even SEEN a pic of the Ovlov factory. It is made in JINA!
Those salesman 😂😂
That's just a knock off of my Swinger 200 that I've had for 25 years except mine is hydrostatic and shuttles real fast. 2200 lb payload and a snow bucket twice that size. It was used for years in Worcester MA for snow removal. I use it for just about everything from snow to logging. Hauls a darn big log. Ok that one is bigger and shinier. Sweet machine bud👍😎👌
Being able to observe equipment from inside and outside I like it so far thanks !
Time will tell. Looking forward to the one, two and three yr reviews and maybe the 5 yr review. Does it still run, did the dealer fix it when it broke, if it did? could you get the parts you needed when you needed them? Don't matter how cheap it is/was if it conks out when the snow is flying and customers are calling?
Thanks Robert, I appreciate you watching!
Any update?
its concerning that you think that because volvo partnered with company this a quality machine.
The worst part is the salesmen very specifically said its not made or designed by Volvo at all, they are just imported by them . I assume to compete with the other throw away chinese equipment coming on the market in north america .
@@chexlemeneux8790 Sounded like Volvo handles servicing and warranty too.

Man, you made me jealous again. Good job. 👍
Love to see a lineup of all your equipment
U can always pick out a bullshitter by the eyes! The salesman cant talk to you without closing his eyes! My old boss that lied to me every day was the same way
I love watching you guys plow circles lol hahaha
Finally someone agrees with me, I had a 100 HP Cummins loader from China for $25,000 CDN dollars 3 years ago. It was cheap but a great value, built cheap, but it had a Cummins! 100HP! My $40,000 Kubota just had a wiper motor replaced and the connector bracket on bucket lever broke, 2 years old. I don't see why pay $40,000 more for a nice cap. service parts I always have to wait regardless its its green, orange or red. Pro Tip: Drill holes in bottom of battery box so that water doesn't get in and freeze or soak battery!!!!! I'll post a video of it soon.

(edit) Doesn't the guy with the slick hair look like a smaller John Travolta to you too?
Now make a triple size bucket on it since snow is never as heavy as the dirt and stone it could be moving.
Always informative and entertaining. Good vid.
Appreciate that Jim, thanks !
Looks like it's struggling to pick up snow whilst moving, doesn't seem that efficient. Hope it holds up for ya!
Did anyone notice the truck that hauled it in was a TITAN???? These are incredibly rare... He's going to be disappointed just like the company that purchased the MP10 powered MACK...
We just got this same loader. Gotta say the price surely reflects what it is. Seems to do okay with what we throw at it. I would suggest changing the fuel dump valve under the back. Somebody will hit on a snowbank and it will turn pink!
Thanks Danno!
I had a Volvo L40B with a Deutz, I loved the crap out of that little machine. This reminds of it, dam I want one! Nice find Stan!
Thank you Santiago!
I’d call this a compact payloader and not a payloader.
Up here in Alaska,it'd be called a loader...
Only Stan would make a video how he is ripping off his clients.
It's not a ripoff to charge what is costs to remove it. If he can remove it faster, then he should charge a higher rate for his efficiency.
@@fraidykat he is charging some customers by the hour. Skid steer gets one price front end loader gets about double an hour. He bought a mini front end loader that is only marginally more capable than skid steer. No where near as fast or can move as much snow as full sized. If he feels his guys are faster than competitors then he should negotiate the hourly rate.
@@guyod1 It's not marginally more capable than a skid steerloader, though...it has the capability of the larger machine with a smaller more maneuverable footprint and a much lower purchasing cost than the larger machines.
He'll be quicker than he was with the skid loaders and at a lower cost than with the larger loaders...sounds like a win to me.
@@guyod1 I bet it could move your old fat ass lol
I agree it’s a great value , however , how you can charge a 2.5 cubic yard loader price with a 1 yard loader . If you charge a flat fee for a wheel loader and that little thing shows up with a big boy price tag you will find yourself out of work pretty fast. FWIW I operate a 4 yard wheel loader at work and it will burn about a quarter tank of fuel in 12 hours of hard running loading probably 1000 plus yards of sand salt mix and plowing several lots during that time.
The salesman had me at 8:17 mins with his knowledge🤣

Volvos name isn't on it ...it's gonna be a pos after 200- hours
Issues such as?
mlyniecm Most likely electrical. Fly by wire systems are complicated. Not something i would trust 6 year old kids in China building.
It will last 200, I just put 200 hours on my new holland in a year at home. It's the 1000 to 2000 hour mark that thing is done
Have two of these loaders that run everyday at a stone yard. For the money a good machine but you get what you pay for. Not as comfortable for the operator as a more expensive loader, but get the job done. Bulky machine but once you get used to it not bad. Not bad mechanically, have 2000 hrs on both machines only issue so far is that the brake pads wear out quick, and fall out of the machine when they are gone, causing a hydraulic oil leak. great if you aren't going to use everyday, as the comfort off the more expensive machine is noticeable, but great to get the job done plowing.
Thanks for the comments Joe and for viewing !
Loved the videos and having good talk through
Thanks Brent!
Local contractor buys all Doosan, only problem after 3yrs hes gotta buy new ones again cause they are completely worn out junk not worth repairing. We still have excavators from 96 that are CATS they've been thru 4 machines to our 1 what did u save?
Had Hyundai and Case before doosans
It's always a gamble, but generally in the long-run a well designed machine still outlasts. It's a gamble with main-brand stuff too because sometimes they just happen to have defects and end up being money pits unless you have a really good lawyer.
In fact, at one point in time, China bought some American made diesel-electric locomotives (6,250HP each!!!) instead of having some Chinese company make them. At least here in the states, with good maintenance procedures, there are thousands of 40+ year old diesel-electric locomotives still in operation. They don't have a mileage counter (some new ones do), so it's hard to know how many miles they've done, but I'd guess like 20 million or more!!!
I know one historic-trust railroad that has a diesel-electric locomotive made back in 1939. It's not much, only 600HP, but it still works. LOL. (It's an "SW-1" with a V6, 2-stroke diesel!)
How much do you bill out for a skidsteer? How much for the loader? Does this loader do as much work as the big one? Seems like there might be a potential for the customer to be getting a raw deal if this wouldn't be able to work as efficiently?
21:55, WTF man, Capitalist pig. Fuk the Customer some more, because you can!
Stan, love your new loader. Can’t wait until I can own something like that !
Thanks Patrick and thanks for watching!
Hey Stan thanks for the FYI...... I like this SLDGL918F your right for what you pay for a skid steer ..... they couldn't pick up almost near what the SLDG COULD!!!!!! YOUR paying the same money the only drawback is going to have your HEAVY footprint 14,000 pounds almost 15,000 pounds!!!!! Would be great for snow!!!!!!!!!! If you were building walls Block pallets and stuff like that!!!! It would be great,,,, but for snow yeah!!!!!! super thanks,,,, for the heads up,,,, great little machine,,, like it,,,, thanks for doing the review take care stay warm junkman do
Thanks for the comments Samuel , stay warm too !!
