Good video. Thanks tim.

I had an articulated loader for years, i preferred it over a skid steer for many applications, in particular lifting pallets and loading trucks, they dont screw the ground up and dont become useless when its muddy.

Thanks Tim, brilliant video, just looking at the bank account as I type this. I have previously mentioned that I have an all singing and possibly dancing large tractor. But its difficult to use on the small jobs. I have toyed with the idea of a Bobcat and now that I have seen this unit. The Bobcat is now off my list of toys. Thanks again, great video.

I am pretty sure it is the same as my Everun EREL 1000 loader same specs and spongy brakes.

Man I wish they had an electric tractor equivalent to the 35hp uhi tractor. Although not sure I could put up with that pump whine.

That joke had me in stitches 😂

So Tim what are your own capabilities for fixing and repair? You take a risk from purchasing off-brand, and another risk by purchasing electric/battery (for this use case, and in this time frame). I imagine if there is a problem, you're not even going to get support from the factory (which even if you did, would not really be a "support" network). Would this be something you only recommend to those experienced in both electrical troubleshooting and mechanical? How is tihis holding up after one season? Cheers. (and I'm in the USA, can not locate these..)

Wondering what it would be like lifting round bales through softer sand, all my property is sand during summer it can get fairly soft.

Nice loader try to buy one today but no one wanted to sell me one why uhi not good

No mention of duty cycle. How long can you be using this before it needs a recharge. Obviously it depends on use but some ball park idea dealing with typical applications.

how much does a replacement battery cost?

Proof

Your concerns over lithium batteries are laudable but somewhat misplaced: Electric cars use 2% of globally extracted cobalt. 95% of extracted cobalt is from ordinary industrial mines. The "artisanal" mines in Congo are abhorrent but they are neither necessary nor can they supply the amount of cobalt needed anyway. As EV demand increases, newer mines in places other than Congo are already opening up. Indeed half of Tesla's batteries are already cobalt free despite the relatively small chance of the cobalt being from unethical sources. So the issue is declining, isn't being driven by EV production anymore than industry in general, its scale is limited and its overall impact is very small when compared to the hundreds of thousands of preventable deaths from respiratory illness caused by burning fossil fuels. Direct parallels could be drawn with the enormous crude oil spills in Nigerian wetlands that have made local farmers destitute and caused the deaths of thousands of children due to pollution. I say all this not to be cynical, nihilistic or belligerent, but purely to place the issue in context. Hopefully its useful information.

May be you can know YUCHAI electric skid steer loader

Thumbs down. This is a promo, an ad, right, with ads added... I dislike the ads, many are outright offensive. Anyway, wanted to comment on loader. Braking could be improved by a regen charger, so you charge batteries going down hills etc. Also, they could install a good solar panel on roof to keep battery topped up and could boost recharging off mains/solar. Dual charge feed. More teeth on larger buckets, replaceable cutting edges. They must also fix dangly cables, poor fitment, alignment asap. Single point greasing? Cages for ROPS for scrub work, hoeing blackberries. Has it got auxiliary hydrualics to boom? A hydraulic chainsaw would be good. What was lighting like? Must have great 360 deg lighting. An optional rack on rear to fit extra batteries? 10 hours run time minimum, with lights on and radio blaring tsunami warnings etc. Needs fast charging, up to 30 amps would be good too.

The comment about "torturing African children" is both ignorant and wrong. I assume that you are referring to the use of cobalt, which is only used in a small number of chemistries of lithium ion batteries. Use of children in artisanal mining in the Congo, is effectively non-existent these days. This sort of comment perpetuates myths that hamper the essential electrification of transport and I expected better of you to be honest.
