I love videos about small electric machines. I'd love to have a small or medium electric articulated loader. I'd want: Attachment: scoop, fork, digger Winch, 50mm trailer ball
G'day Tim. Love your work on tips and tricks for the novice/ hobby farmer. I note in this episode you indicated you had a mate make slabs out of some of the larger pieces. I have lots of trees falling over since fire came through our property at Clifton Creek in 2020. I am wondering if you might do a segment on milling machines designed for chainsaws. I don't have the money to get a Lucas mill and think the portability of a chainsaw mill might help the hobby/novice farmer, just a thought.
Hope more of those come up on the market so improvements are made. The flaws are unfortunately too great in my opinion but it’s great to see it out there and it’s a step in the right direction. Thank you Tim for sharing.
$16k according to the importer. You could get a new Mahindra e25 for a few more $000. Electric is the way of the future but not quite there yet for me to spend those $$$.
Hook the machine to the front of the trailer & angle it up while giving it a shimmy & a shake & w/ practice you'll be seeding your driveway like a pro w/o a shovel. Alternatively, Jack the front of the trailer up so that the rocks slide down while also affectively shortening the length of the trailer allowing you to reach in further.
The only reason it could pick up the brash branches were the buckets fault. Ylu could easily have a lightweight grapple custom made to fit it which opens wider with tines rather than a solid bucket. Abd it wohld be perfect for picking that brash up all day long
Won't sell my 45hp small tractor just yet. I am, in general, a supporter of electric vehicles and tools. Our next town vehicle will be an EV. I love my battery powered tools, including the makita chain saw. However, the small tractor has so many advantages in having a larger 4in1, a slasher, a ripper, plough, disk harrow etc. Sure it is more expensive and requires more maintenance, but it is all in one vehicle. If I get an electric farm vehicle soon, it is more likely to be an ATV of some sort to support weed spraying.
An interesting machine, a preview of what is to come. I guess it is Chinese made? Would wait until companies like Kubota make electric powered, then I know I am buying quality equipment.
I was hoping for a little better lift. Like to see a scale on that wood crate. My 23hp bobcat tractor will lift a nicely stacked full crate. Needs some counterbalance or the rears will lift. Nice little loader though.
Many will see this and dismiss it because it can't work for them. Thing is it will work for some in a niche market, the next generation will be better opening up to other niche markets and soon it's got a toe hold in mainstream. A very similar thing is occurring in electric cars, twenty years ago sure they were pretty useless, then came Tesla. Tesla was laughed at for years, too expensive not enough range, build issues and so forth. Jump forward to today and the Model 3 & Y are although still expensive up front over their lifetime are relatively affordable. These cars have a margin of ~30% so once demand starts to be filled then prices can drop considerably. Out sold the Toyota Camry in Australia last month. I have a first generation electric zero turn lawn mower. For sure it's not perfect but already the second generation is out and is far better. At present working with heavy machinery a lot and am often laughed at when I say these will be electric. It will take time and early versions will have issues (problem is lack of top engineers in this field and they are paid big bucks which means smaller industries will have to wait) but economics will win the day and that means electric. Also point out us drivers will soon be unneeded which makes electric even better but thats another story.
I was keen to see a review on these, thanks so much!! And as a few others mentioned, I think the flaws are still too much of a dealbreaker even though there are some surprisingly strong features. We do have a farm and will lay out quite a few contours as well as driving uphill with wood branches everywhere ... an environment where I can't see the U50 but maybe an improved version in the future. Great video!
Have a problem with a 100 y/o mine that's being rehabilitated. They put waste rock down the abandoned ore chutes instead of hauling it to the surface. It has to go. Many many tons of it. This machine would be small enough to sneak between the mine timbers to get to the face. Of course can't use diesel or gas underground. The roll cage would have to come off probably because of limited overhead clearance. Do you know if these are available in Canada? Would fill an ore cart much faster than shoveling by hand. Wacker Neuson makes an electric loader on tracks, but not available in North America.
@@FarmLearningTim Whane about pricing as of Sept 2022? What about specs? rated lifting capacity? how powerful is/are the motor/s. Rated battery life vs real word experience? etc How about a link in the description to the manufacturer and/or dealer website? Did you get given the machine or was it just for demo purposes? Standard sort of review info that was missing.
@@zebby264 I agree with zebby here Tim. Your reasoning for avoiding prices is somewhat valid but some specs would be handy. You went into a fair bit of detail about lifting the IBC cage with wood when a rated number would have been easier. Most importantly I want to know if this is a paid review. Did you buy this for your own use? Was it supplied to you for the purpose of a review or was it gifted to you for review?
Early days as long as you expect to live for more than ten years this sort of machine will be far superior to diesel. Used to work in the nuclear industry back in the old country and they used to laugh at wind turbines, they aren't laughing anymore, technology moves on.
Diesel $2.20 a litre and going northward fast. I tried very carefully to make the point that this machine is for intermittent use. I got two weekends of intermittent use out of it on half a charge. I’d like to see a 3 tonne machine with lithium…..
Great video tim, what a capable little loader, maybe uhi can make a electric wood splitter for you too try out, I love your ibc wood crate idea? Do you have a place around the Yarra valley you know that sells these cheap, reackon I’m going to invest in some 👍

Uncouple trailer, and tip out last bit of gravel, instead of shovelling. Impressive loader.

Who is the factory of this one, Everun?

Great ideas mate. Well done.
drill a hole in the lip of the bucket, 50mm towball. job done.
or get a trailer which can tip. some trailer makers in perth make them. i have one, its great at the tip.
The only reason it could pick up the brash branches were the buckets fault. Ylu could easily have a lightweight grapple custom made to fit it which opens wider with tines rather than a solid bucket. Abd it wohld be perfect for picking that brash up all day long

Electric is coming….. I tells ya…. It’s coming…..
@@FarmLearningTim It's here already.
Yeh nah
I wonder if the electrics people can come up with a system to “lock up” the drive system to discourage one wheel skids and attain maximum drive force?

i am impressed. i'm not easily impressed. i'm looking forward to your update on the next model with those minor problems ironed out.
cannot wait for more electric machines on the farm, with a shed full of solar pv we have free fuel

Blimey….. that’s an interesting use. I’ll forward your enquiry mate.
turf tyres not much cop, needs all terrain tyres.
The manufacturer website says battery lasts 8 hours, you say 4 I suppose? Why is it so different? Different usage?
I got about 6 hours of use until 30%, which I would not go beyond for battery life.
I ran out of fuel on my ride on mower about 250m away from the shed - how will this situation work for an electric unit?
If you ignore a flashing red light for 15 minutes then I guess you’re stuffed mate.
People don’t buy ugly and that thing is fugly. Interesting review none the less Tim
Awww I thought it was cute…..
why don't you include pricing?
What if you watch this in a year’s time? I avoid prices.

@@FarmLearningTim If you are generating enough power to charge free from solar power and small usage yes it's practical....
@@FarmLearningTim for a hobby farm I recommend a Kanga loader. mini skid steer most versatile machine...
Plan to upgrade the old David Brown Case 995 to electric in around 5 - 10 years
Two electric cars towing our produce 5 days a week has been gold.
Do tell about electric cars???
@@FarmLearningTim have a 2012 & 2019 Leaf
12:14 yep
New Toys
At 7.03 did you forget the handbrake or did it just roll on it's own accord??
Nah forgot the handbrake. Too busy filming
@@FarmLearningTim Awesome review mate. Keep up the good work and try to get better at safety hahaha 👍🏽
Great video tim, what a capable little loader, maybe uhi can make a electric wood splitter for you too try out, I love your ibc wood crate idea? Do you have a place around the Yarra valley you know that sells these cheap, reackon I’m going to invest in some 👍
Most growers buy fertilizer in them. Then have to dispose of them somehow....
Ah beauty, any particular farms that have plenty of surplus?
Marketplace on Facebook have the for sale quite often. Anywhere between $80 & $120.
How much
Link to seller in description.
Yeah nah. I'm not ready for this, the world has gone politically correct stuiped (two thumbs down) .... 💯😡🤬
