Gliderider I thought the same thing. How often does someone forget to fuel up at the end of the day because they want to get out of there. Now someone doesn’t plug it in oh it only needs 8 hours to charge instead of a 5 minute fill up.

@@hpkntnw Day off without pay!?? I bet they will never forget that detail again! lol

😂😂👏🏾👏🏾👌🏿

Philip, Man thanks so much for the comment. I totally understand where you're coming from and I agree. For most folks, this machine probably isn't ready for primetime. That's why Case is only making them as they're bought right now and they're primarily aiming them at utility companies rather than customers that are going to need to run a lot of attachments. Thanks for checking out the video and thanks for weighing in. We love hearing from the folks who are actually working in the cab day in and day out. Wayne

Omg priceless! Granite! Yeah lem'me hammer a couple hours then while I grease the point the service truck can swap out the battery! Ok ok just kidding and I get it too...and Case while you're at it lets please finish up the Model N emission upgrades & wiring harnesses-(especially in the all electric model??) In all seriousness it'll be a blast to run those when they actually hit the streets...dirt so to speak, Liked & sub'd. Thanks!

@Bobsyouruncle Wilson i may not understand about why they did electric only but the machine sounds like it would be useless on a realworld job

Bobsyouruncle Wilson here is the issue I see as someone who owns about 25 pieces of equipment. This seems nice, however I am supposed to haul this piece of equipment to the shop every night to charge it? That seems counterproductive. Most of the job sites we work on do not have any electricity at all. So this might work good for cities and other situations where the machines are able to be charged every night but the majority of machines sit on job sites for a few days to a few months.

@@pedrogunner9750 i agree or what if you are snow plowing and need to use it for 20 hours straight. it might work if they made the battery pack easy to swap out.

True

Jlg did that boom lifts Small Honda recharged battery when low.

Denny Little for those remote job. Gasoline and diesel will never be replaced. But let’s be real. These would work for 99% of municipalities and utilities

Devin Bender that machine is too fast for municipal work

OffRoad RiverFishing 🤣🤣🤣

my only thought for remote operation is to bring out a Diesel Electric generator, but you can see the irony in that.

Exactly

This is a gimmick to get government contracts

You switch with a fully charge battery duhh

@@mrdoctor3496 This is not a tv remote u can change battery duhh

John Melhuish most municipalities and utilities only need that. In the future (near future) batteries will easily make 10-12 hours of solid use

Russ Weir RPM of the PTO

Bob Earl this battery is very similar to most EVs. Costing about $10k and lasting about 200k miles. And those number get better and better every year. In about 10 years solid state batteries are coming. Not any cheaper but last long and higher capacity

Phone batteries and vehicular batteries are built with vastly different tolerances and management systems that affect useful battery life. Keep in mind that while a battery will eventually wear down, you don't have oil changes to pay for, and electric motors often have 1-2 moving parts rather than thousands. Massive reduction in maintenance costs.

@Bobsyouruncle Wilson I dig it!

If you work in areas that don't have access to electricity you would buy the diesel version...

This application would work best for the farmers since they are able to plug this machine in every night.,not so great for construction companies.

Yes, Thank-you!

They developed the first worthwhile backhoe, JCBs are junk.

Jcb é uma porcaria

Bobsyouruncle Wilson : Case invented the backhoe, plain and simple. The first integrated tractor/hoe/loader(what the world knows as the backhoe) was in fact a Case machine. All previous designs were impractical and utterly useless. JCB should thank Case for showing them how it’s done or the dummies would still be hanging a shovel on the back of a damn farm tractor.

JCB is pure junk

I agree but don't think it's a realistic idea yet, I bet that batterys weight and placement in the machine (because of it's weight you can't just put it anywhere without ruining the workable balance of the machine) makes it so un- handleable that it will remain fixed in place for a generation or two. I do think your idea is for sure in the future. Multi pack recharge ability is what would make diesel a dirty smelly thing of the past.

300lb.battery pack ! ? I'm not changing that !!!

Rowan Killough it not going to work because a lot of stuff I know is going to have and a lot of jobs r going to die if they make this

Clearly this isn't a machine that fits every single need of every single customer. Yes battery powered equipment will never be able to "refuel" as quickly as a diesel machine. However, development of new technology takes time and there always has to be a first iteration that will lead to even better products down the line. As for the price of the machines increases its pretty much just inflation... 70K in 1998 is 111K in 2020 dollars.

Snow clearing is where I'd expect this thing to preform the poorest. Your average power consumption plowing is likely to be much higher than digging. Throwing a boom around running two cylinders at a time isn't going to use anywhere the power of constantly driving back and forth plowing snow. Loading trucks with snow isn't going to as hard on battery as clearing lots. This eventually will be the future. At some point oil is going to get too expensive. That might be 50 years away yet. It might be far sooner. Right now oil is dirt cheap but that is going to cause many oil producers to go out of business. So when the economy cranks back up there will be shortages causing the price of oil to spike. Electric does have many advantages and there are solutions to the problems. The savings from running electric are significant. But the upfront cost needs to come down. Maybe they could make the hoe detachable and it gets an interchangeable battery pack in its place. So for plowing snow you have a battery truck that delivers battery's rather than a fuel truck. Have an option to detach the loader bucket and attach a battery for extended hoe operations. Loading a battery should be no different than changing a bucket/attachment. My view is that interchangeable batteries are a must on heavy equipment. In many cases you need to run 24/7. It's also going to be much cheaper to charge when the sun shines. So having batteries you can cycle from charging off the solar array to running equipment is a must. The batteries also need to be standardized. The backhoe, the skid loader, the mini all need to run the same packs. So for small operators you can have all 3 machines and only need 4 batteries. Each piece of equipment should have a smaller on board pack with enough power to run the machine for loading a new battery pack, getting on an off the trailer, etc.. The farming and mining world is where this stuff really needs to be deployed. Places where they can have big solar arrays to produce their own power. The panels are getting dirt cheap. The batteries are the only thing holding the change back.

Bid 10-4 on the 410 brother Case N series have nightmare emissions & main harness issues. Impossible to maintain. Cheers!

Do you think it would be more efficient if every home had a diesel generator powering it or if there was one central plant powering the entire neighborhood? Its always more efficient to have one central generation plant than thousands of individual generators... However its only truly produces zero emissions if your power comes from renewable or hydro...

Nothing to work on its electric. Change the light bulb and GO

So... recharge in the hour of lunch. I hope they develope a portable recharge.

Good to see another Case guy comment. I believe this a market that will grow, however till they develop better batteries that will hold longer charges or smaller size with high capacities it will be a limited market. They need to put a small high output diesel generator to extend operating times. Also what they don't say is that the charge is for optimal conditions, the charge will be less in colder climates or other energy sapping conditions. Or how long the actual battery life is. At least they are trying to be part of the new market, instead of waiting and and coming in late to the market only to loose more market share.

Andy Knight that’s few and far between. Most municipalities and utilities don’t drive that far and only work 8hr days maybe 10s on long days. This would be perfect. Now In the near future batteries will be better to allow for the hardcore 12+ hour operators

@@devinbender8428 that may be the case where you are but ive been on hire to utility companies for the last 25 yrs . Including travel time id average 12 hrs per day but as stated its nothing unusual to be out for 20 hrs on a burst main . 24 hrs in my mind is the minimum you need to be offering . Otherwise its a very small market .

Andy Knight **** local utility and municipalities will benefit from this. Yes lots of larger utilities that are out in the boonies will not be able to use this. Also I agree around 24hr run time is need to be a truly viable. Figure on a busy day your working 10-12 hours then if there is an emergency you need another 8-10. Then add a 15% cushion. That’s roughly 24hrs. Which is very viable once solid state batteries hit the market in a couple years

ISAFMobius18 definitely geared to light duty utility work. But near future will have faster charging and longer life

Jordan Broadhead most municipalities utilities go back to the shop at the end of the shift

I've replaced everything you mentioned. Upper and lower wiring harness cost me 2 grand. Bushings on dipper and king pins spin and caused a bunch of damage. I had to tack with a welder to keep it from happening again. I've always loved my case equipment but the last 10 years their equipment has gone down hill. Don't even get me started on the DPF system.

So I can avoid getting dirty checking my machine in the morning. Guess it doesn't need grease ? 🤔

Well when it comes to digging and loading it should perform the same as a backhoe with a Diesel engine. Instead of a Diesel engine turning the hydraulic pump a electric motor is. A hydraulic pump just want to be turned at a certain rpm it doesn’t care what you turn it with diesel or electric. It should perform the same. Only difference is the length of time it will turn it. Diesel engine will turn it indefinitely where the electric battery will need to be charged. Obviously.

@@Hesthegreatest1 they do run out of diesel as well ?

HE CAN SELL THEM TO MOVE STARS .

not if you think long term

No No No the guy said it was created in one of case's "secret labs"
