As a loader operator here’s a tip. Don’t always trust the grapple to hold heavy material as you work around it. That log could have slipped out for whatever reason while you were in front of it. Also roll the material all the way in the tines and tilt the forks back. This will also shift weight to the rear of machine.
True other day had big log and it slipped closed to hitting a car
We own a tree service and this little machine is the best thing we ever purchased for the company.
How much was it?
Your 36'' Mini Root grapple was made where I work.. in the Litchfield MN plant. The MT was made in BMK ND. Glad you love our product! its one tough animal!
I own a tree business and we already have a full size Bobcat for moving the big stuff, but getting into back yards and working in tight spaces isn't always possible. I've turned down jobs because I just don't want to deal with the added manual labor and time it takes to move wood by wheel barrels and handcarts. I just started looking for a mini loader and there's so many choices. This video was helpful.
I’ve used them for my tree service for years started with a 4 wheel unit 322 toro dingo and now have 2 tx1000s they are awesome, I like all brands but I have only had Toros , I think all are great though
Ditchwitch is no greasing except the tracks..to take on off..have always liked them..the vermeer is best but it's way high in price..Bobcats are nice to..but Ditchwitch has been around longest. In mini category. The 1550 1050 sk 850 and sk 3000
One of the best videos about mini skids, I've seen. Thank you for the thorough and concise demo.
Very nice man. My dingo changed my business forever, I don’t know how we worked with out one. Good luck
Thanks for watching
I have 2 tx1000s and a 322 dingos love them ,use them for tree work, and everything else
Boooom, you get a subscribe from me just for making this video alone. Everything you said in your opening statement was spot on. My company focuses on Property Restoration and Recovery from storms or the unlikely event of a domestic emergency. With that said, storm damage and fallen trees are generally what we come across. There are issues with debris removal and other assorted tasks where reliability and capability are critical!
The MT-100 has it!
Great video. Keep up the great content!
So the Bobcat S70 is very similar in a wheeled skid steer for size and specs. I have a much older but similar Bobcat 443 machine that I have had to work on a lot because of its age and condition. The advantages to one of these is the tracks and ease of maintenance as well as the noted operational benefits. Easy to jump off and do work, jump back on. The smaller bobcats with a cab can be really hard to lean in and do anything. Also short wheeled skid steers are really tippy on hills. Have to back up if bucket is empty. So I am not tree guy but I am thinking of this category for my replacement. Once you have powered equipment to do work you can never go back!
That looks like a real work saver. Back saver. Nice. Thanks
Looks like a very versatile unit
Great video the first that shows what it can do more in-depth than others. I’m on the waiting list here in NC bobcat they are about 1-1/2 months behind on orders
Thanks for watching. My machine took nearly two months to get to me as well. It's well worth the wait!
"BAM... You can feel it in your brain" Fantastic review Eddy. No BS. Just the facts as you see them. I absolutly appreciate the honesty and the concern for this thing potentially damaging you in a number of possible ways. You make this clear, which is refreshing on UA-cam. You're not just another yahoo looking for a promotional call from the Bobcat marketing dept.
Just got my new mt100 , 1 month ago , havent had time to use it yet , really looking forward too it though ..its gonna be a game changer in my tree business in arcadia , fl.
Good for you!
I'll confirm that about the going downhill backwards with a mini track loader. While backing dingo down dump trailer, I did not lower grapple and weight was not evenly distributed and the machine tipped backwards. All I could do was jump off and watch in horror.
Very expensive mistake!
Great presentation without wasting time. Keep it up.
Thank you!
It is indeed a powerful tiny machine! 👌🏻
I have a mt 55 and with owning a tree service its invaluable !!!! Love it ......
Its a different feeling when all the cleanup is done with so little exertion. But now we have a lot of wood to process back at the property.
Very nice machine.. I have an ASV RT-40 which is a sub compact track loader with a 48" width, an enclosed cab, and a little bigger, about 4100 lbs w/ bucket. One thing the MT100 can do which standard cabbed track loaders cannot is exiting the machine with the bucket up. Holding up the tree while slicing off logs is very useful. The RT-40 which requires the bucket on the ground and the Grapple closed for the operator to exit the machine. Safety First!
Yeah that electrical crap is annoying.
Cant wait to get my mini .. absolute game changer
Fantastic rundown Brother. I am waiting for delivery of a Toro TX1000 in a few weeks and after 10 years I the business I am stoked!!!!
I just bought a new Tx1000 I have another one it just getting a lot of hours and figured I buy a new one , I started with a 322 and it still runs I think it is like 15years old and runs great
Love this video, great job!!! I'm an arborist and the outfit I work for has 2, the MT 100 & 85
We have all attachments: bucket, bucket/grapple, ditch witch attachment, we even got a drill....lol
These are perfect for tree work. You have the grapple attached the amount of brush you can pick up is awesome. If the tree is 2 big for 1 and you don't want to cut it for logging purposes,, IF you have 2 both will pick up a massive log together. Thes machines or even a walk/ride behind TORO are absolutely perfect for tree work!!!
And if I may add never turn especially on hard surface, drive ways, roads, parking lots with the lift up. Makes it TOP HEAVY and adds a bad shake.
Excellent Video man thank you!!!
Thanks for watching
I just subscribed, look forward to seeing more with this machine and where else your business goes 👊
Thanks!
Excellent review! Great info
Thank you!
You sold me on my dads birthday gift. Just subbed💪🏼
Thanks for the sub!
Great Video!! Thank you!!
Love your videos 👍
Thanks man. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks and i've subscribed
That was great info and an awesome video bro!
I am fairly new to this type of equipment as well. I ordered one a few Weeks ago and it should be coming in next week. I’m so excited !!
Thanks for watching!
thx for the video thumbs up for your first statement
Thanks for video 👍🏾
I myself use a kubota r410 articulating loader. Much larger then that machine there but can certainly see the reason for the bobcat.
I own an ASV PT30 which is the same class but with a cab. There is nothing more valuable in a landscape or tree service company than these units. Since purchasing my full size track skid steer sits 60% of the time. Bobcat has good equipment I just like the over premium prices on attachments
I probably would have been fine with a small ride-on skid steer but I couldn't have any of my guys sitting down in a machine or they'd never get off it and help out with the actual work. Then they think they're a hotshot because they get more work done than everybody and don't have to sweat.
Nice unit.
I'm amazed at the design it doesn't tip over
It can be scary at times. But the usefulness is unmatched
Of course it can tip over
Good machines for what they are. We just got one at work for landscaping
Yeah it's built to be compact, which is exactly what I need for back yard use in my business.
@@easyeddystrees yup. Painfully slow and weak when you are used to a full size skid steer but it is what it is when you are faced with tight spaces
ua-cam.com/video/OnwoodMVrnM/v-deo.html
You’re grapple opens and closes backwards. Mine did the same thing when I picked it up. I told them I wanted it switched so I had them switch the ends of the hoses on the grapple. I think you’d like it a lot more!
My friend who's a heavy equipment operator told me that same thing. I might have to try that out
@@easyeddystrees well worth the effort in my opinion
Hardly the whole tree, but impressive. Very impressive. Also, u need a machine that cuts and splits the trunks. Your body will play out. Plus this labor is exhausting. Check out some videos where the log is placed on a skid and an electric chain saw wacky off a piece, then a hydraulic cylinder pushes the chunk thru an apple core type die. Boom....out comes the firewood.
Thank you
Have one coming. Estimated delivery time is around five weeks. Cant wait!
Congratulations on the purchase! It's tough to wait but the machine is great to have around and extremely versatile. I'm waiting for the stump grinder attachment for mine.
Hey man if you don't mind me asking how much where they asking? I got a quote but it seems a little high $37,188.00 in PA tax included MT100 wide track with teeth bucket.
@@EliteSoul92 little lower but we didn’t do the wide track version. That’s a fair price. 95% of their orders on machines now are not on the lot. Even if it’s a touch higher than you want to spend will easily make it back quick.
@@EliteSoul92 I think it was around 35,000 with the grapple but they gave me a discount
Thanks for the response guys.
Appreciate your sharing and comments. When you moved distances, video was too choppy. Oherwise your demonstration was interesting and informative. Look forward to your next video. I can see how this equipment would save from physically lifting and speed progress on the job. Be safe, strong, healthy, discerning and successful in Jesus's Name. ☝🙏🙌💪
Great video
Nice equipment!
Thank you for watching!
I eventually will get some kind of smaller tractor like that for my business in the near future
As far as turning I will put plywood at all of my turns in the yard. When moving straight wet or dry there’s not impact so no plywood there. Usually 2-3 pieces per job and I walk them in as I go so no manual handling. This machine will change your life and you’d never go back after it.
Thanks. It has
We had a mt52 and upgraded to a mt85 and the only regret is not going to the mt100
Nice I need one
Can you do a video of how to do when you need 2 attachments to be taken with you on your dump trailer please
I may be able to get one out this year for you. Basically we place drive up the ramps forwards(which is a little scary) and place one attachment all the way at the front of the trailer. Then spin the bobcat around 180 inside the trailer to then drive down the ramps safely and get the other attachment. Once that attachment is on the machine we drive up the ramps backwards and park it close to the other attachment so it can't move around while driving.
nice video
you should get the bobcat skid steer s70
Do they make the attachment with the cii mount and not the bobtach?
Can you buy extra counter weight plates and run them in both places plus maybe an extra set for the rear?
Idk how good it is to hammer it wide open and listen to the relief valve rip wide open haha!
I'm a novice, but lots of good advice is coming my way :) thanks for watching!
Cool dog
You positively need to move those counter weights to the rear for stability.
I would but I haven't reached the point where I needed additional lifting capacity. The machine is well balanced for all around use with the weights centered
how big is the bucket for pushing soil or compost? 1/4 yard bucket 6.5 cubic feet?
Wow, I want!
From what I see on the comments and your video, it sounds like the width of this machine was one of your primary factors. I know bobcats new SAL LS23 and LS28 wheel loaders are not very wide and a lot of people were getting them for landscape work in tight areas. I thought the price on the LS23 was similar to your machine? Just curious about what you thought as they used the same type of bobcat attachments.
I'm not sure about the other models, I selected this unit because it's a stand on which is way easier to mount and dismount. To keep my workers out of the lazy chair during work, and yeah the size was a big deal. The track allows it to make very light impact
This would be perfect for my land. What was the cost for that setup?
I wana see a video about an mt100 doing concrete
There is a channel out of Indy called shotts services. He does quite a few concrete busting / hauling jobs with a mini skid.
We like ours
6:49 is why i subscribed
What you can tell me about mini machines CUBOTA.
WHICH IS BETTER
Good video! How much will this thing lift.
1000 lbs is the rated capacity
Awesome! We just ordered one last week! Do you load it into your dump trailer?
Yes. It fits in there nicely
@@easyeddystrees would love to see a video of you loading it! We have a similar dump and I feel like the gates going to be too steep for it to go up!
I will try to show that in one of my next videos. Thanks for the suggestion.
ua-cam.com/video/3tf2DsE2ozM/v-deo.html
I feel like the hydraulic flow speed could be slowed down a bit looks really jumpy
I see this is two years what was the price tag on the unit
Hi I like your video, how much you pay for the machine?
What's the price on that beauty?
How wide is this machine
35k here in Hou Tx.
I may have gotten a small discount on the unit
Has anyone else bent the grapple breaking trees smaller?
I've not had a problem yet with that but the grapple is more of a carrying and manipulating implement, it's not intended to break anything really
whats the hydraulic cylinder on top of that grapple?
That cylinder opens and closes the grapple
Yeah but what about the price with log grapple
The log grapple is around $3000
Price?
What's the lift capacity?
I use a jd 3025e
It's 1000 lbs rated work capacity but that's just a fraction of what it can lift.
Whats the price on mt100
Where is the whole tree? Thats like 14ft of a small trunk.
How much did it cost with everything?
Something like $32,000 but I did get a nice discount
Sold mine, had to go with a Vermeer 160
Why?
Hydraulics look quick & responsive. Nice machine. I've heard the Ditch Witch & Vermeers are better machines but it's probably same BS talk like comparing Ford, Chevy, Dodge.
That's exactly what it is. They are all about the same price, all about the same performance, so go with the dealer that is closest. I would love to get the Kubota mini skid, cause the dealer is real close then bobcat is the other side of town and toro and ditch witch are over an hour away. Vermeer is maybe 30-45 minutes.
Is this wide track?
No I have narrow tracks on mine. It has 36" clearance.
Great video, dangerous machine. You would been better off with mini excavator, e32 is less than 5ft. Wide. I understand it's only 36 inches wide but removal of 1 fence panel is simple. We own e50 r2 . T595 , t66 , s76 . Love bobcat machines
I'll have another video up soon showing the mini on a real jobsite that wouldn't fit a larger machine at all
ua-cam.com/video/OnwoodMVrnM/v-deo.html
The mini is a rediculous tool. Our mini kx040 has more hours than our wacker compact wheel loader wl38, svl95-2 and l6060 tractor. However we still want a mt100 or scl1000
A mini ex would not handle logs the way this does. This is a much betterchoice and piece of equipment for his line of work. He's not trying to dig, he needs something to move those big ass logs.
@@pillaryclinton6187 a mini ex would lift way bigger logs than the stand on.
Keren gan senggol dong 👍👍🙏
They need to have a helmet or laser that wont drive until you duck your head bellow the overhead abstraction a specially backing up lol
Don't you lose your knife a lot wearing it outside your pocket like that?
Yeah haha I do
@@easyeddystrees Thanks for the response lol. I always carry my Leatherman and I've lost one already. I can't afford to keep replacing them. Goes in my pocket clipped every time. Awesome video!
Would be great to plow thru a B.L.M ANQEEFA "mostly peaceful protest"
In my opinion a mini excavator with a grab is a better option.
Seems like the excavator would be awesome for some other projects I have going on too
Put a better grapple on that machine and you'll like it even more
I like my grapple. Which one do you prefer?
@@easyeddystrees go to my page and check out the ershkine grapple I run on my MT100
Very good machine..needs a seat .
No my workers do not need a comfy chair to excuse them from working
@@easyeddystrees wait till your workers get worn out knees,hips,ankles,from standing on moving equipment and you'll understand my point.i did it for years,but it caught up with me at 55..moter grader op...
@@olivertaylor8788 that might be, but you're not comparing the wear and tear to what happens to a man's body when he does that all by hand one piece at a time. That's what we are up against. And believe me, the stand on is better
You get just as beat up operating a full size skid. If your in good shape, it's not a problem.
@@justpalms9978 You're correct,if you're in good health. I ran heavy equipment my whole life thinking the same thing.Now I'm 65 and disabled.joints worn out,you'll get old and wish to God you had taken better care of your skeleton.
U can throttle down some so your not that jerky guy out there running a skid steer
Also buy some weights
Start up and wide open, cylinders crying for oil. 🤦
Its too light.
You talk too much I just want to see what this machine can do is pretty much self explanatory ``
