Great video Michael. As others have mentioned banter is good. I first came across Takeuchi in 1985. A friend of mine worked for the BOBCAT dealer and they sold the Takeuchi. I believe Nissan then did a licensing deal to sell them here in North America as a Bobcat but not up to Takeuchi standard. There was a French machine PEL JOB, which my father used to come up against in demos in the early mini digger days 1982 onwards with the POWERFAB 1200x 360 With offset digging. It had the Kubota engine and was an excellent machine with 1.2ton of tear out force and dug to 6’6’’. Prior to the POWERFAB 1200 they manufactured the 125W walking and 125 WTD walking, trailing and drive machines which were great digging machines. A 180C tracked excavator with off set digging and sliding tracks (width wise) was added to the line up. These machines were ahead of their time. 👍🏴🇺🇸
Great video Michael, love the brilliant banter. Gary's comment about the pound had me in stitches because I'm sure you don't pay your A Team in small change. 😉🤣. 85% tonight especially after your brilliant post.👍.
Ive got a friend who's an ag contractor. Once he designed a dump trailer that was also a silage/compost trailer. He designed his silage sides as an all in one minus back door where it was lifted off via fork slots on fork extensions, just had beefy bolts to bolt the top down. This was built by Triffit trailers. He did design a 2nd version. Might be one on FB marketplace. I will look
Great video Michael, from a mechanics point view Takeuchi was one best to work on for easy access to stuff, their tilting cabs was game changer, also good resale value once finished with them, I worked for a early user of them uk spec machines when they set up uk hq. I’m pretty sure mr Takeuchi himself came to do photo shoot on first uk spec TB075 think it was in 1990s they’ve soon built up great following against all established makes.
Good morning, where is Tim and Micheal there no longer in your videos and just seen video of JCB mini tracked with back ho, looks like a good revenue erner.
It increases the tipping height in sheds. Not all farmers have high sheds. Also there would be a lot more overloading plus a lot have sheets fitted for grain
Nowt wrong there pal. Good stress relief driving diggers. Can abuse the earth to within an inch of it's life without anyone saying anything. You should get on one more often 😂
I think Amy like myself would ask, why did you drive on the grass and not on the soil when planting the trees lol You seem to know your way round that digger How are you doing Michael hopefully your positivity is still climbing Take care Geoff
Michael seems like you got your groove back! great

Great video Michael. When’s the cat dumper been added to the hire fleet. That’s my kind of gardening using a digger 😂

Kubota would be my go to for the mini diggers. Well built and great on fuel. Plenty of dealers about if you need them.
They are a good bunch of lads u have there Michael. I wonder would a person know if they weren’t in the best of form. Rather than been told so. ?

Tim left our employent t over a year ago
Hi Michael, great therapy doing digger work . If you hire that digger, does the driver come with it 😂😂.
Maybe
Get silage sides ordered for that big CAT dumper 😎👍
Michael My Favourite Mini Excavator is Kubota,,,Then Second Takeuchi,,,Then Third Yanmar ,,,The Fourth Doosan
Nice one Michael Takuchi spelt that wrong good diggers Thanks again
Why don’t you leave the silage sides on for grain harvest Michael?

@@GCSMachinery thank you.
More interested in the 13 tonner to hire but probably can’t smoke in it !, so I’ll more than likely have to buy myself one at some point soon 🙄.
The digger girl would have used the amazing rota tilt bucket and it would soon be raining as it usually does in her videos but that is Argyle weather.
She is amazing with that rota tilt bucket
Nowt wrong there pal. Good stress relief driving diggers. Can abuse the earth to within an inch of it's life without anyone saying anything. You should get on one more often 😂
