As an equipment operator from small to large, common since is key. If you are a fly by the seat of your pants type of person, keep off my equipment. A real operator is a smooth operator. Any other is a driver.

common sense is the key, but even a "real operator" has to learn my friend...I'm sure you'd agree

There is a bit of a learning curve for any equipment. You have to get used to the sensitivity of the controls. The mechanical lever throttles on older tractors are easy enough to run smoothly. The hydrostatic drive tractors are a bit different. Those can be unbelievably sensitive.

@@StoneyRidgeFarmerNot everyone will be an operator. It does take a bit of talent and want to. I started when I was a little boy cutting grass for extra money. My mama bought me a lawn mower, gas can and a quart of oil to go with my mower purchased from the A&P food store. I am on my way. When I became a young man I applied for a job building a huge lake near my house. With NO experience, I was put on the hood of a CAT 631 earth mover with a D-9 CAT pushing me to load. That was an awesome machine, huge and would haul over 80,000 pounds of earth with the sides built up. Later I learned to operate a bulldozer. State with a 305 Case and on up to the big boys. My favorite overall was the Allis Chalmers Dozer. Came from the 70's but one nice machine. Later while in construction of many buildings including Nuclear Power near my house in Irmo SC I was introduced to crane operating. I has the oportunity to run a Manitowoc 4100 Vicon. The crane had 300 feet of main boom and 40 feet of jib. I retired about ten year ago after 45 years in the construction business. Today, I miss those days of equipment operating. When I see someone on a job site dogging a machine, I want to snatch their ass off and make them walk home. I also had one of the first NCCCO operators license. Yes, I know a little about equipment.

You guys are two of the best folks on KZread to enjoy watching.

Hey so cool to see my two youtubers together!!!!

Awesome as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along

Josh, great collaboration with Dirt Monkey, great Video.

That’s like having a side by side with a bucket on it ❤❤ I would love one 😊😊

Love to see Josh and Stanley united!

Stan is a great man! I have learned so much from Stan. Thank you Josh for allowing The Dirt Monkey on your channel!🇺🇸

Dirt monkey is one awesome guy he has always been right about all equipment

Articulating loader just right for cleaning out stalls and barn stuff. Getting around in tight places is the challenge, which this little beauty knows how to handle.

I love both of you and both of your channels. I've been a fan of the Cast loaders ever since Stanley got it, they are just SO handy on a jobsite. No I don't have one but if I WERE a Dirt Monkey I would. Have a safe trip back brother. Best to you both.

Stan did his own stone coat counter tops. Get the epoxy hookup and save a fortune on counter tops and floors. Great farm implement protecting grass. Great channel coop.

Looked like you two had some fun 🙌

DUTCH!! Good to have ya here buddy!! Hope you're staying cool out there in OK

That’s right. That’s a very long O in MinnesOta.

The cast loader is mint u need one. Love these guys been watching both channels for 7plus yrs. My dream has gone from a dairy style to a regenerative style like ur hopefully I can gat started in the next 3yrs. I'm Just a Canadian lawn guy

My favorite farm/equipment Chanel are together 😊

Of course a mini loader is a farm tool! Anything is an expense on a farm!!

thats great and all infact i watch dirt monkey, im in minnesota, so i already knew about them. but for the home jobber, honestly a simple compact tractor is all you need to not tear up turf and load a dump truck. just takes longer at half the up front cost. love the videos, keep it up. i will say the boom is a cool plus. but will it last as long as a iseki at home like 4 decades worked hard weekly (idk how long it will last, still haven't worn it out yet, and its a hydrostatic drive ) or a bobcat worked hard daily for a decade or 2? idk. they look cool, but cool usually costs big dollars. not 30k like a small tractor or 60k like a skid loader. both at the low end. my tractor has no cab, not heat, no ac. but starts at 0F and doesn't complain 3 cylinder diesle.

This was a fun collab to watch. I think the small articulated loader market should be one that the larger companies need to look in to if they aren't in already. Makes me curious what he'd think of the Bobcat competitor to those Cast Loaders. Best of luck on the discussions with your finance committee in hopes you get one.

I pwn a landscaping company, and think this would be an awesome asset. Mulch jobs and grading seem like it would be a breeze with this.

Holy crap this video clip was tense. For a second I thought a fight will start

Josh and Stanley,beer and fishing time ❤😮🍻🐠

Yes, they make an eletric version and a stand on version

Hey Josh thank you for the video and I think you and family the dirt monkey did a great job working together there and those tires that he has their I think you should get yourself a set and put them on your skid loader to woo

Great content!!! Except for the top heavy aspect, it seems like an awesome tool for those elderly or disabled that can’t get into a skid steer! Just Say’n 🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸

I love this, but idk what I would use it for. I do landscaping, so a Ventrac would be better for me.

I've ran a lot of equipment, but I tend to think wheel loaders are the way to go.

I think it depends on the application, for what I’m doing right now which is clearing hedgerows and leveling ground mostly in the winter when it’s wetter, tracks are far superior, a wheeled loader would just get stuck too often! And yes these machines would not tear up the turf but when the ground gets soft tracks would not compact the ground as much, my machines ground psi is about the same as me walking.

Nice equipment review approximately what does small loader you like run-cost. Thank you David

Great video guys! #CastLoaders

Can it get equipped with dual wheels to improve stability on slopes and traction in mud?

Great video and nice for u to get away once and a wile to unwind.

Awesome info thanks for sharing

Great machine there 👌

Yankee trying to convince a rebel 😂

Sweet machines; I'm going to buy one to put my Christmas lights up! WOOO!! J/k about buying one. 🙂

Looks identical to old bobcat first few edition.

I think these machines need a tooth bucket

Articulated loaders are all a bit "tippy". The way the geometry changes when you turn sharply makes them all more unstable than conventional tractors or skid loaders. And the warning about the load and cabin turning together is important to keep in mind if you are used to a loader where the cabin is located on the back so you can see the way the load swings out to the side when turning. I can't say anything about the quality or usage of this particular brand. I can just talk about articulating loaders in general. I like them, but there are disadvantages. You just have to be aware of them.

Do they make an electric version?? :) Keep up the great videos!!

I’ll e asking this on Stan’s channel also will these loaders have enough hydraulics for a snowblower. I do know you wouldn’t have a need for one I live quite a bet farther north than Stan

Soon to be seen on this channel😂

What’s the gpm on these things?

Honestly, those things are junk. Can't even get a full bucket,, even when back blading the pile of loose dirt... Two wheelbarrows and a couple of shovels might have even been faster...

Those are light material buckets for mulch. These would have performed better with a dirt bucket. We have been using Articulated Loaders for over 20 years for our landscape business and these machines pay for themselves.
