You nailed it with the mini skid as a tool to use year round . I run an old boxer 427 brute tracked unit with similar controls . Since I’m only a small operation I needed a machine to get in tight spots , and do a bit of everything. I have a grapple , a 54” material bucket and the backhoe attachment. The machine is basically a crew of 6-10 guys without the liability. I love you videos Stan, good material you put out .
Toro Dingo is very jerky as well, it’s a work out running a mini skid steer. Some jobs are made for these machines, had to move 12 yards of stone though a 5ft gate.. Perfect machine for the job!
As with all true experts your modesty shows through! A nice bit of kit but at my age a seat would be vital. Nice to see credits for the excellent music Stanley . Bless you fellow Brother Of The Land - your videos warm my heart on these cold winter nights!
When you ran it out of fuel you underestimated the Honda engine! They are SO reliable! I had a teeny tiny 38" mower, i never did anything but put an air filter in it, and gas, no oil changes or anything in about 12 years owning it! Not saying that this is a practice you should follow but Honda engines are so so reliable! Expensive but reliable! Love your videos as always!
Long comment alert!!! I own a 2018 Titan XD SV midnight edition diesel . I have owned it since new and put 30,000 miles on it. It’s my work truck and daily driver. I’m a full time firefighter/emt, so I never have the option to stay home from work for inclement weather ( snow/ice, flooding, storm debris) it never fails me. As far as a work truck, I haul an enclosed trailer about 3 days a week during the mowing season. With multiple mowers and handhelds I estimate 5k lbs. I also haul my Kubota Bx2200 with loader. It’s by no means a 3/4 ton but also not a 1/2 ton. It handles the weight of the trailers well and stays around 18 mpg. It’s comparable to 3/4 ton numbers of the early and mid 2000’s. I have also driven the truck all over the southeast on vacation. With family and a bed full of luggage it’ll get 23 mpg highway. It’s the family truckster as well, i prefer it 10 to 1 to my wifes 2020 Grand Cherokee Altitude. However it was Nissans best kept secret and the Cummins diesel was discontinued after 2019. ‘18 and ‘19 models are the most sought after due to having the bugs worked out.
So if you keep that machine within it's context you will have a better experience. Being brand new, those hydro's will be very jumpy until they break in. It is not like a piece of "heavy equipment". It is essentially a cracked out wheel barrow!!! (That can handle 40 + attachments) My Dingo 322 is one of the older series out there, and once you re align the expectations and get some time behind the controls, you will see that pound for pound they are very efficient, and when used correctly are also very low impact. Don't worry Stan there is a sharp learning curve!!!! Keep up the great vids
That would be great for cleaning out barns. The surecan’s are a great idea, however they let fuel out way to slow for me. I found myself using the fill hole to pour gas out. I myself prefer the race style cans like what VP or u line has.
We run Toro Dingos which are the same as that machine. Perfect for us going in backyards fits in most gates doing paver patios, grading, and even setting stone steps. Great video
We run a bobcat mt 85 with wide track option. I was on the fence and had my doubts even after an extended demo period. But now that it’s part of the fleet we couldn’t operate without it. Definitely earns its keep.
I had a ditch witch sk350 tracked mini skid steer and I bought a drop off bucket for it. I had a pick up truck with a steel dump body. With the drop off bucket I was able to unload the dirt to the apposite side of the truck. That style bucket is well worth the money.
That seems like a pretty cool machine. Skunks. I grew up where we adopted this dog that was being abused but ended up taking our other dog out on rainy nights coming back reeking of skunk. Still kept him and loved him, Tiny was his name. He would sit on his rump and drag himself along the rug a bit. I swear he knew how to smioe, too. He had a habit of passing gas right next to you, get up and move across the room and look at you smiling especially when you caught a good whiff. They were bad. If you were paying attention you might hear a lttle pfift sound. Aaah ,the things we remeber sometimes. Thanks for sharing.
That machine is essentially a copy of the "Dingo" that was invented in Australia in the 1980's. The hydraulic system is very crude compared to what you'd find in a modern skid-steer. Toro acquired the rights to the Dingo name for the Americas in 1997, and having briefly used a Toro Dingo TX1000, it's a much more refined machine.
Does the herkie jerky, have a power broom option for like sidewalk clearing and snow removal? maybe a salt shaker for the sidewalks? well everything has a learning curve. like every year first inch of snow find empty lot do a couple power slides, just to wake up the mussel memory. looks to be useful and more finessed machine.
I’ve been using mini skid loaders since 1996. It’s pretty much the same machine I’ve used and they are so versatile we used it for EVERYTHING. I was able to load 3 to 4 yards of fill, stone and mulch into dump trucks many times. There’s a certain way to do it but it can definitely be done. I’ve used about 10 or more different attachments. Love the Honda engine on that machine though. I like this machine and will check them out. You’ll love owning that.
Of all your great videos, my favorites by far are those where you try out a new piece of equipment. I love your comments; makes me so glad I subscribed.
I have worked commercial construction and logging and farm /ranch type work there are 2 type equipment operators those in hurry no patience and others take time not rush it The 2nd usually finish faster and no break equipment
Steel green manufacturing makes a snow plow that attaches to the front of their fertilizer spreader now you should check it out . Turns a summer rig into a year round machine like you were saying .
Seems like a give and take deal.. you get a small machine with a short wheelbase for tight areas and put up with the tipping and rocking. Like the old skidsteers. But that said I can think of hundreds of jobs to use it on.
Ha Stanley, great demo. I've only seen you do a couple videos with stand on loaders. You've got to try out Kubota's new SCL-1000 & Vermeer's new CTX-160 And ditchwitch's SK1550 & Sk3000They are all power house's . Keep up the good work and God Bless you my brother from another mother 👍👍
A Titan XD is not quite a 3/4 ton truck, it is often referred too as a heavy duty half ton. It has a 3/4 ton frame with most of the other components shared with the half ton titan. It can actually do quite a bit of work. It can run a full size plow and does have a standard gooseneck hitch although towing maxes out around 12k
@@Dirtmonkey Yes I would recommend it. It is a very confident/capable half ton as long as you do not expect it to do all the work of a 3/4 ton. Best truck warranty too 5 year/100,000 miles. There is speculation though that it may go out of production in the next few years due to poor sales. JD from Big truck Big RV has a good walk around here ua-cam.com/video/_Pdyl5TP5os/v-deo.html
Really enjoyed this video. I am considering buying a similar piece of equipment. I have looked at the single purpose sidewalk snow removal equipment. To me they are too expensive to only be used 4 moths of the year. So something like this would be more useful. I have a small mowing/snow removal business.
@@Dirtmonkey no more grease to tension it, instead there is a hydraulic ram that maintains the tension. When you turn off the machine it lets off the tension so your tracks arn't constantly under stress when you arn't using it.
Used a Toro Dingo for a few years in a cattle barn and loved it for feeding since we had to feed close to 200 head by hand carry 2 5 gal pails and it was a time process. Our Alley ways and doors were 60 inches wide and it was great we cut time from 5 hours down to one hour . We found it a bit loud but once all got used to it no prob . I got to play with a New Kubota SCL mini it was very nice with tracks and a diesel engine it was a little Brute..
We have a Bobcat MT-85 and a Vermeer CTX-160 and both have pilot controls and tracks like a full size skid loader and they’re much easier to use than the one you’re running Stan. They’re barely at the shop, since they’re so popular among the crews. Highly recommend picking up a mini skid
I think the Titan is considered a 5/8 ton truck so its right between the 1/2 and 3/4. Other than that, I have not heard if they are decent trucks or if they tow well. I would see if TFL Truck has some info on them.
I have a Titan XD with the diesel and I am very impressed with the truck so far only 56,000 on it in 2 years so far but it tows great and for the price is almost impossible to beat.
Had one of those, was awesome but the engine blew after a year, I believe it was deleted at one point before I got it and then was kinda out back to stock before I got it.
I loved it and I was warranty work, Cummins replaced the whole thing but had to move in because parts were back ordered 3 months and my business couldn't wait.
That's what I love about this channel I was really thinking about buying one but I was skeptical on I went with B I wanted to see what someone else couldn't do with it first
Put a tooth bucket on it and it'd be perfect for that. I'm intrigued by the possibility of using a mini skid-steer in underground mining, as some modern mines intersect old workings that larger equipment won't fit in.
I own a Toro Dingo 322 which is very similar. I have fixed gravel drives, trenching for buried power lines and phone lines with the trenching attachment. It is also great for moving trailers around. So this machine should do all that as well.
I learned how to operate on dinosaur mustang. Had the old t handle. They are great machines. Last I understood they are owned by Gehl now. Don’t quote me on that tho.
the ditch witch sk 800 is similar to the worky quad, but bigger, joystick controls, and on tracks insted of wheels. When we had our retaining wall replaced and yard re graded, that's what the guys used, i;ll love to see you do a review on it
We bought a Ditch Witch sk600 the level just under the sk800 The ditch witchs are a far superior machine compared to this. sk600 has a 25hp Kubota diesel, tracks and very strong hydraulics and it is fast. We use it almost every day and we have a jackhammer attachment as well, (we are in the concrete business) the jack hammer breaks ANYTHING we have thrown at it. It's a Wonderful machine for getting into back yards I would highly recommend them for a professionals like myself.
Ur going to town truck lol 😆 I had one of thoes till I blew my motor .... dont get an electric truck its seems wrong just wrong Stan ..... could u put a sweeper on that lil thing
In Australia where this type of machine was created it is called a dingo and they are a great little machine with loads of different attachments from tranches, 4 way buckets, cement mixes, forklift, rippers, ect. Anyone can use them
Toro makes these also and they are called dingos. We have an older one that has tires but also have a set of tracks that go over the wheels. We took a plow from a grasshopper zero turn, made a bracket of it to attach to the skid steer style hook up and use that for sidewalks.
I own a Titan xd diesel with platnium package. Platnium has 20 inch wheels. I tow a fith wheel toyhauler and Ive worked mine as well. The XD is a full box frame its considered a 5/8 truck. Fits nice in parking spaces.
You mentioned the Tesla truck. Pulling a trailer, the power will but phenomenal. But I think I learned in my years of working with battery powered equipment in a warehouse. The more of a load you put on the battery, the faster you drain the batteries. Any time you have to climb a grade will also drain the batteries. Temperatures are a huge factor with batteries in equipment, the colder the temperatures the faster the batteries will drain. And they take longer to charge in colder temperatures too. Speaking of charging, the batteries will take 8 to 12 hours to fully charge. If you short charge the batteries, it will dramatically shorten the life of the batteries. A word of caution, if a battery powered vehicle get in a accident. Batteries have a tendency to explode. These are some things that I learned being a forklift mechanic
Stan doesn’t look like you ran it to bad for the third time you ran it I have a tracked boxer it’s like riding a bull in a rodeo over ruff terrain. Your back and muscles feel it by the end of the day. As for snow the tracks make it useless to light slides around might be ok if it had a v plow. Looking at a s70 bobcat inclosed cab with heat for sidewalks.
My favorite part of this video was inside the dealership.... No masks and a handshake. How 2019 of everyone. Seriously, thanks for the video. I've been looking into a smaller stand on mini loader as an alternative to the dingo and bobcat
what about rollover backwards? How stable does it feel? Skid-steers are known for that. In case of this machine if rollover happens, the operator will get squashes. Should have somekinda safety bar behind the machine? Thanks for posting
I used to sell Nissan, the XD Titan is a heavy 1/2 ton. They have a 5.0 availible Cummins diesel V8 or the standard 5.7 L gas. They also have a non XD regular 1/2 ton.
I wouldn't recommend getting the diesel, we would always have major issues getting the started in the winter. (I live a few hours east of you in northern WI, I do snow removal, tree removal, landscaping) Granted those were 2017/18 models so maybe they have improved, otherwise they are awesome! The gas engine has been around for alot of years and is tried and true.
Also at the time boss nor western had figured a plow mount for either truck. I believe I saw a Titan last year with a boss plow, but who knows if the guy made his own mount or not?!?!
I would love to get my hands on a really cheap used mini skid steer and dump trailer that i could use to rip up the entire (cough) ‘lawn’ in my yard. The problem is - when youre broke, you cant afford things.
I have a kang 520 g with a 20 horse Honda pretty much made just like controllers you have on that it is awesome in snow moving mulch and other materials I built a larger bucket for snow removal
@@Dirtmonkey I bought the whole package it was about 7 years old for 12000trailer pallet forks trencher rototiller four in one bucket auger with 9 12 + 36 bits l
@@MrShaiker i do tree work with one full time now. The 100 comes with the counter weight kit and the whole back of the machine is speced out with i believe almost half inch. The metal on the outside of the machine where the top arm connects that whole back plate is all half inch I believe. Its beefy. Feels like a tank compared to the mt85. Doesn't mess up lawns anymore or anything. That's all in the operator of course. Only bad ive found if you work on some steep hills and don't have a good load on the front its prone to tipping back since its so ass heavy. Also the entire under carriage is all sealed rollers. So no more greasing daily! Which is probably my favorite thing. We use a crane to do tree work so we know what stuff weighs. I could pick up 2000 and get off of the machine the other day.
I have a 2019 Nissan Frontier SV. (I mainly mow). The frontier can do as much as a 1500 could do ten years ago. It tows 6,100, and I have a 7’2 plow on it. I would definitely like to try that new Titan XD though! And I am regretting getting a short bed!
something tells me the drive on the Worky is Not Hydrostatic. Just an engine driven gear pump. Most mini excavators are similar since precise motion is much less important than on a skid steer.
Good stuff man just last year my boss got a new one ton and not even 8 hrs into the first day bam his daughter bf backed into it then the next day he let some girl drive it and she was pulling up to the pumps and those steel hoops that protect the pumps boom right into it she rode to the homeowners house with me lol not a good day
Stanley I see something you miss when you loading your truck a cop will see it to your back license plate is block by snow. Went I live in the mountains I learn to clean off the snow headlights, tail lights and back license plate.
I have two regular Titans and thought about trying out the diesel. I have weighed out the rock qaury with the standard ones I have weighing 26 k total pounds. I pull equipment and dump trailers on a regular bases and really like my Titans. Only down fall is the gas ones have sucky fuel mileage but has the strength to do a lot more than your normal f150 or such. Plus DOT leaves us alone with our trucks, and yet we pull more than most them other bigger trucks.
Legally, a Nissan Titan HD is classified as a half ton truck. But you you research the specs, it's built like a 3/4 ton truck. And with the V8 Cummins, it'll run forever. I'm seriously considering getting one. And I'm a Ford guy. LOL
I would look in to a 5.7 liter tundra before a Nissan titain you can still get them in single cab long bed double cab long bed and crew cab short bed and you can still get them in a base modle work truck option id recommend trying one of those before nissan
Seems like a good little machine! But, I say that not knowing the price point.. that will determine my final opinion on it. Have any idea on a ballpark price point?
@@Dirtmonkey get another Cummins like the one in the background if you really want to work, and give yourself the option of towing trailers. Dont look back. And btw, this little machine is awesome!
You didn’t have to bleed it after it ran out because it’s a gas motor. I think you are used to diesel equipment where you need to do the fuel filter and get the air out of the system
I couldn't tell how difficult it is to use or what it sounds like, or how you work the controls because you sped up every clip of yourself running it. I guess it only runs in fast forward, lol.
What is the lift capacity? I am looking at renting a mini-skid to rip out some dogwood root-balls and wondering how big this is and if a 500 pound lift capacity would be enough to rip them out. Thanks!
@@Dirtmonkey I was specifically thinking about the video where you were fixing a double retaining wall behind a house and another were you were working between two houses. You guys had no way of working with skid steers and such.
Great demo Stan, I'm in the market for a stand on mini skid steer track machine. I'm looking at Ditch Witch Sk1050 Kubota SCL 1000 and Vermeer 925 as an all-around multi purpose machine at can do just about anything with the right attachment. Would be great to see you do a review on this style of machine. Thank you for doing youtube videos 👍👍keep up the good work and God bless you!
There's no point in calling it a 5/8 ton, as ton ratings on trucks are long outdated. It's been like 30 years since a 1/2 ton truck carried a 1/2 ton payload.
I wish more of the smaller skid-steers were diesel, maybe with something like a Deutz F2L511. Gas engines make them a non-starter for use in underground mines for both safety and regulatory reasons. Something else I'd like to see is cost-effective remote control options for them. Interesting that your dealer has multiple site dumpers. Those haven't gotten much traction in the US; it will be interesting to see if that changes.
They're used all over large cities. They built several 20+story buildings in Tampa and those things were buzzing all over. I see them a lot in Boston too.

That's what I love about this channel I was really thinking about buying one but I was skeptical on I went with B I wanted to see what someone else couldn't do with it first
That's why I'm here👍
Awesome video Stan, always enjoying hearing your experience.
Glad you enjoy it!
I like to see what it does with a set of the grapples on it picking up brush from like a tree trimming job
I used it for picking through scrap metal in the woods on my first hoarders video I did back in September.
that thing looks like it might be great for making hiking trails, single track mountain biking trails and stuff like that.
Probably would!
Put a tooth bucket on it and it'd be perfect for that. I'm intrigued by the possibility of using a mini skid-steer in underground mining, as some modern mines intersect old workings that larger equipment won't fit in.
or dirt jumps ;)
work for a hardscapes company and we mostly use the bobcat mt85 just because it can get in tight spots. i works pretty good
I've heard good things about those.
Toro dingo same as that equipment but they also have one on tracks. The tracks actually make for a smoother ride
I own a Toro Dingo 322 which is very similar. I have fixed gravel drives, trenching for buried power lines and phone lines with the trenching attachment. It is also great for moving trailers around. So this machine should do all that as well.
Those mustang skid steers are amazing definitely demo one if you can
will try...thanks
I learned how to operate on dinosaur mustang. Had the old t handle. They are great machines. Last I understood they are owned by Gehl now. Don’t quote me on that tho.
the ditch witch sk 800 is similar to the worky quad, but bigger, joystick controls, and on tracks insted of wheels. When we had our retaining wall replaced and yard re graded, that's what the guys used, i;ll love to see you do a review on it
Thanks...love ur idea's, keep them coming😉
We bought a Ditch Witch sk600 the level just under the sk800 The ditch witchs are a far superior machine compared to this. sk600 has a 25hp Kubota diesel, tracks and very strong hydraulics and it is fast. We use it almost every day and we have a jackhammer attachment as well, (we are in the concrete business) the jack hammer breaks ANYTHING we have thrown at it. It's a Wonderful machine for getting into back yards I would highly recommend them for a professionals like myself.
Yes their super nice
very good
Ur going to town truck lol 😆 I had one of thoes till I blew my motor .... dont get an electric truck its seems wrong just wrong Stan ..... could u put a sweeper on that lil thing
Thanks...I'll think on that😉
2.7l or 3.5?
In Australia where this type of machine was created it is called a dingo and they are a great little machine with loads of different attachments from tranches, 4 way buckets, cement mixes, forklift, rippers, ect. Anyone can use them
Ive got the concrete grapple for it. Its a handy machine
Toro makes these also and they are called dingos. We have an older one that has tires but also have a set of tracks that go over the wheels. We took a plow from a grasshopper zero turn, made a bracket of it to attach to the skid steer style hook up and use that for sidewalks.
I own a Titan xd diesel with platnium package. Platnium has 20 inch wheels. I tow a fith wheel toyhauler and Ive worked mine as well. The XD is a full box frame its considered a 5/8 truck. Fits nice in parking spaces.
You should do a review on the new 2020 jcb 1CXT backhoe loader
Why on earth is there no hip padding?
You mentioned the Tesla truck. Pulling a trailer, the power will but phenomenal. But I think I learned in my years of working with battery powered equipment in a warehouse. The more of a load you put on the battery, the faster you drain the batteries. Any time you have to climb a grade will also drain the batteries. Temperatures are a huge factor with batteries in equipment, the colder the temperatures the faster the batteries will drain. And they take longer to charge in colder temperatures too. Speaking of charging, the batteries will take 8 to 12 hours to fully charge. If you short charge the batteries, it will dramatically shorten the life of the batteries. A word of caution, if a battery powered vehicle get in a accident. Batteries have a tendency to explode. These are some things that I learned being a forklift mechanic
Stan doesn’t look like you ran it to bad for the third time you ran it I have a tracked boxer it’s like riding a bull in a rodeo over ruff terrain. Your back and muscles feel it by the end of the day. As for snow the tracks make it useless to light slides around might be ok if it had a v plow. Looking at a s70 bobcat inclosed cab with heat for sidewalks.
Good piece of equipment. Let me know how that goes for u👍
My favorite part of this video was inside the dealership.... No masks and a handshake. How 2019 of everyone.
Seriously, thanks for the video. I've been looking into a smaller stand on mini loader as an alternative to the dingo and bobcat
what about rollover backwards? How stable does it feel? Skid-steers are known for that. In case of this machine if rollover happens, the operator will get squashes. Should have somekinda safety bar behind the machine? Thanks for posting
Yes, just what we need more safety nonsense. Maybe a ROPS structure, air bags, and knee pads for the operator too.
@@xenonram Y stop there? Perhaps remote control from you're living room couch?
we have some bobcat mini loaders and we work them very hard. If you buy one just make sure its well built
agreed
Nice little machine to have around the property 😀 👌
Yes indeed!
That little thing is cool looking 👍🏻👍🏻
Right!!!
Way handy little power tools. Paint them to look like a Milwaukee "Fuel" hand tool!
Our toro dingo is the same, really takes some practice to run it smooth
Right!?!
Nice little machine.
It sure is!
Toro dingo has a 4 wheel very similar to that for the last 10 years
I used to sell Nissan, the XD Titan is a heavy 1/2 ton. They have a 5.0 availible Cummins diesel V8 or the standard 5.7 L gas. They also have a non XD regular 1/2 ton.
are they good trucks???
I wouldn't recommend getting the diesel, we would always have major issues getting the started in the winter. (I live a few hours east of you in northern WI, I do snow removal, tree removal, landscaping) Granted those were 2017/18 models so maybe they have improved, otherwise they are awesome! The gas engine has been around for alot of years and is tried and true.
Also at the time boss nor western had figured a plow mount for either truck. I believe I saw a Titan last year with a boss plow, but who knows if the guy made his own mount or not?!?!
The pucker factor watching you put that in the back of my dream Ute hahaha
😂
@@Dirtmonkey 😂😂
I would love to get my hands on a really cheap used mini skid steer and dump trailer that i could use to rip up the entire (cough) ‘lawn’ in my yard. The problem is - when youre broke, you cant afford things.
Stan have you ever run a Bobcat Tool at, we had one for snow and used it for parkway work as the dump box was a nice addition.
No ...have not run one
That's a half ton the new Nissan. You should take a new cummins and convert it to burn French fry oil. Love the vids
Its only a half ton-to bad.
I have a kang 520 g with a 20 horse Honda pretty much made just like controllers you have on that it is awesome in snow moving mulch and other materials I built a larger bucket for snow removal
How much did that cost you?
@@Dirtmonkey I bought the whole package it was about 7 years old for 12000trailer pallet forks trencher rototiller four in one bucket auger with 9 12 + 36 bits l
You should test out the bobcat mt-100
Good idea...keep them coming!!!
Bobcat mt100 is a beast. Got one at work and love it. Solid machine. Have 2000+ hours on the mt 85. Same thing just a little heavier
Patrick Morris - the MT100 is greatly improved ? I myself own a company and a MT85 ( I’ve spent well over 1000hrs on myself ) thinking about a 100...
@@MrShaiker i do tree work with one full time now. The 100 comes with the counter weight kit and the whole back of the machine is speced out with i believe almost half inch. The metal on the outside of the machine where the top arm connects that whole back plate is all half inch I believe. Its beefy. Feels like a tank compared to the mt85. Doesn't mess up lawns anymore or anything. That's all in the operator of course. Only bad ive found if you work on some steep hills and don't have a good load on the front its prone to tipping back since its so ass heavy. Also the entire under carriage is all sealed rollers. So no more greasing daily! Which is probably my favorite thing. We use a crane to do tree work so we know what stuff weighs. I could pick up 2000 and get off of the machine the other day.
That stand up mower next too the skid steer. Are those stock wheels, it looks awesome. never seen such thing.
Operator’s getting work by the equipment. Learning curve, working the tool, that’s what makes her happy, right!
I have a 2019 Nissan Frontier SV. (I mainly mow). The frontier can do as much as a 1500 could do ten years ago. It tows 6,100, and I have a 7’2 plow on it. I would definitely like to try that new Titan XD though!
And I am regretting getting a short bed!
Nice little machine there and also with scage would u ever own or demo one?? i love there v-ride2 best control's i think
Maybe one day!
something tells me the drive on the Worky is Not Hydrostatic. Just an engine driven gear pump. Most mini excavators are similar since precise motion is much less important than on a skid steer.
Good stuff man just last year my boss got a new one ton and not even 8 hrs into the first day bam his daughter bf backed into it then the next day he let some girl drive it and she was pulling up to the pumps and those steel hoops that protect the pumps boom right into it she rode to the homeowners house with me lol not a good day
oh man- thats a bad first day!
I want to see your Worky Quad in of your snowplowing videos. That will be the test.
You got to do a snow removal video with this.
So Right!
Stanley I see something you miss when you loading your truck a cop will see it to your back license plate is block by snow. Went I live in the mountains I learn to clean off the snow headlights, tail lights and back license plate.
you r sooo much better than me!
@@Dirtmonkey I don't want you to get a ticket and I am not better than you I am sorry
A bucket with teeth makes all the difference in the world
Love to see a video on your skunk fest. How much are the Worky Jerky? 20,000?
Man, I love it! I sure wish stand-on loaders were less expensive, pricewise along the lines of scut tractors. I'd would definitely get one then.
yes i love it too
I have two regular Titans and thought about trying out the diesel. I have weighed out the rock qaury with the standard ones I have weighing 26 k total pounds. I pull equipment and dump trailers on a regular bases and really like my Titans. Only down fall is the gas ones have sucky fuel mileage but has the strength to do a lot more than your normal f150 or such. Plus DOT leaves us alone with our trucks, and yet we pull more than most them other bigger trucks.
I love trucks, but I hate short beds, I have a 97 Ranger which has a long bed, which one of these days I'll get it running again.
Legally, a Nissan Titan HD is classified as a half ton truck. But you you research the specs, it's built like a 3/4 ton truck. And with the V8 Cummins, it'll run forever. I'm seriously considering getting one. And I'm a Ford guy. LOL
I would look in to a 5.7 liter tundra before a Nissan titain you can still get them in single cab long bed double cab long bed and crew cab short bed and you can still get them in a base modle work truck option id recommend trying one of those before nissan
Seems like a good little machine! But, I say that not knowing the price point.. that will determine my final opinion on it.
Have any idea on a ballpark price point?
in the 20's
@@Dirtmonkey better than I thought it'd be!
Nissan cancelled the Cummins option on that truck this year. The titan xd has been out for a few years now it is in-between a half ton and a 3/4 ton.
Kind of mixed reviews so far.
@@Dirtmonkey get another Cummins like the one in the background if you really want to work, and give yourself the option of towing trailers. Dont look back. And btw, this little machine is awesome!
You didn’t have to bleed it after it ran out because it’s a gas motor. I think you are used to diesel equipment where you need to do the fuel filter and get the air out of the system
Maybe so...better safe than sorry!?!
I couldn't tell how difficult it is to use or what it sounds like, or how you work the controls because you sped up every clip of yourself running it. I guess it only runs in fast forward, lol.
all those nice machines just sitting outside :(
@Chyna Mane Part of the reason the next thing I buy must be small enough to fit in the garage.
What is the lift capacity? I am looking at renting a mini-skid to rip out some dogwood root-balls and wondering how big this is and if a 500 pound lift capacity would be enough to rip them out. Thanks!
I didn't look into that-sorry
@@Dirtmonkey no worries, God Bless!
Might also work well in some of the tighter spaces you guys get into.
So true!
@@Dirtmonkey I was specifically thinking about the video where you were fixing a double retaining wall behind a house and another were you were working between two houses. You guys had no way of working with skid steers and such.
Great demo Stan, I'm in the market for a stand on mini skid steer track machine. I'm looking at Ditch Witch Sk1050 Kubota SCL 1000 and Vermeer 925 as an all-around multi purpose machine at can do just about anything with the right attachment. Would be great to see you do a review on this style of machine. Thank you for doing youtube videos 👍👍keep up the good work and God bless you!
Nice...keep checking things out...smart👍
I think the ditch witch or the Vermeer are great choices. What attachments that are available is something to definitely check as well.
I'd like to see you plow snow with that 👀✌️
Titan HD is a 5/8 ton. But I think they are 8,600 gvw, which is what the older 3/4 tons were. Don't have any personal experience with them
Good to know👍
There's no point in calling it a 5/8 ton, as ton ratings on trucks are long outdated. It's been like 30 years since a 1/2 ton truck carried a 1/2 ton payload.
I wish more of the smaller skid-steers were diesel, maybe with something like a Deutz F2L511. Gas engines make them a non-starter for use in underground mines for both safety and regulatory reasons. Something else I'd like to see is cost-effective remote control options for them.
Interesting that your dealer has multiple site dumpers. Those haven't gotten much traction in the US; it will be interesting to see if that changes.
They're used all over large cities. They built several 20+story buildings in Tampa and those things were buzzing all over. I see them a lot in Boston too.
Saw a Gt lawn truck with the mini loader today
Sweet!
