You nailed it with the mini skid as a tool to use year round . I run an old boxer 427 brute tracked unit with similar controls . Since I’m only a small operation I needed a machine to get in tight spots , and do a bit of everything. I have a grapple , a 54” material bucket and the backhoe attachment. The machine is basically a crew of 6-10 guys without the liability. I love you videos Stan, good material you put out .

Stan needs to invest in a garage to keep all his equipment out of the snow and rain

That machine is essentially a copy of the "Dingo" that was invented in Australia in the 1980's. The hydraulic system is very crude compared to what you'd find in a modern skid-steer. Toro acquired the rights to the Dingo name for the Americas in 1997, and having briefly used a Toro Dingo TX1000, it's a much more refined machine.

Toro Dingo is very jerky as well, it’s a work out running a mini skid steer. Some jobs are made for these machines, had to move 12 yards of stone though a 5ft gate.. Perfect machine for the job!

Awesome video Stan, always enjoying hearing your experience.

As with all true experts your modesty shows through! A nice bit of kit but at my age a seat would be vital. Nice to see credits for the excellent music Stanley . Bless you fellow Brother Of The Land - your videos warm my heart on these cold winter nights!

When you ran it out of fuel you underestimated the Honda engine! They are SO reliable! I had a teeny tiny 38" mower, i never did anything but put an air filter in it, and gas, no oil changes or anything in about 12 years owning it! Not saying that this is a practice you should follow but Honda engines are so so reliable! Expensive but reliable! Love your videos as always!

Of all your great videos, my favorites by far are those where you try out a new piece of equipment. I love your comments; makes me so glad I subscribed.

Great content. Thank you for taking the time.

Long comment alert!!! I own a 2018 Titan XD SV midnight edition diesel . I have owned it since new and put 30,000 miles on it. It’s my work truck and daily driver. I’m a full time firefighter/emt, so I never have the option to stay home from work for inclement weather ( snow/ice, flooding, storm debris) it never fails me. As far as a work truck, I haul an enclosed trailer about 3 days a week during the mowing season. With multiple mowers and handhelds I estimate 5k lbs. I also haul my Kubota Bx2200 with loader. It’s by no means a 3/4 ton but also not a 1/2 ton. It handles the weight of the trailers well and stays around 18 mpg. It’s comparable to 3/4 ton numbers of the early and mid 2000’s. I have also driven the truck all over the southeast on vacation. With family and a bed full of luggage it’ll get 23 mpg highway. It’s the family truckster as well, i prefer it 10 to 1 to my wifes 2020 Grand Cherokee Altitude. However it was Nissans best kept secret and the Cummins diesel was discontinued after 2019. ‘18 and ‘19 models are the most sought after due to having the bugs worked out.

So if you keep that machine within it's context you will have a better experience. Being brand new, those hydro's will be very jumpy until they break in. It is not like a piece of "heavy equipment". It is essentially a cracked out wheel barrow!!! (That can handle 40 + attachments) My Dingo 322 is one of the older series out there, and once you re align the expectations and get some time behind the controls, you will see that pound for pound they are very efficient, and when used correctly are also very low impact. Don't worry Stan there is a sharp learning curve!!!! Keep up the great vids

That seems like a pretty cool machine. Skunks. I grew up where we adopted this dog that was being abused but ended up taking our other dog out on rainy nights coming back reeking of skunk. Still kept him and loved him, Tiny was his name. He would sit on his rump and drag himself along the rug a bit. I swear he knew how to smioe, too. He had a habit of passing gas right next to you, get up and move across the room and look at you smiling especially when you caught a good whiff. They were bad. If you were paying attention you might hear a lttle pfift sound. Aaah ,the things we remeber sometimes. Thanks for sharing.

Perfect machine for startup companies. Gets the job done. Nice demo!

I had a ditch witch sk350 tracked mini skid steer and I bought a drop off bucket for it. I had a pick up truck with a steel dump body. With the drop off bucket I was able to unload the dirt to the apposite side of the truck. That style bucket is well worth the money.

Used a Toro Dingo for a few years in a cattle barn and loved it for feeding since we had to feed close to 200 head by hand carry 2 5 gal pails and it was a time process. Our Alley ways and doors were 60 inches wide and it was great we cut time from 5 hours down to one hour . We found it a bit loud but once all got used to it no prob . I got to play with a New Kubota SCL mini it was very nice with tracks and a diesel engine it was a little Brute..

This is old school content... And I love it!

Looks like a fun new toy To add to the growing collection

We run Toro Dingos which are the same as that machine. Perfect for us going in backyards fits in most gates doing paver patios, grading, and even setting stone steps. Great video

I’ve been using mini skid loaders since 1996. It’s pretty much the same machine I’ve used and they are so versatile we used it for EVERYTHING. I was able to load 3 to 4 yards of fill, stone and mulch into dump trucks many times. There’s a certain way to do it but it can definitely be done. I’ve used about 10 or more different attachments. Love the Honda engine on that machine though. I like this machine and will check them out. You’ll love owning that.

Very cool....I'd love to have something like that to build trails on the farm!

Ha Stanley, great demo. I've only seen you do a couple videos with stand on loaders. You've got to try out Kubota's new SCL-1000 & Vermeer's new CTX-160 And ditchwitch's SK1550 & Sk3000They are all power house's . Keep up the good work and God Bless you my brother from another mother 👍👍

Nice little machine to have around the property 😀 👌

That little thing is cool looking 👍🏻👍🏻

I own a Toro Dingo 322 which is very similar. I have fixed gravel drives, trenching for buried power lines and phone lines with the trenching attachment. It is also great for moving trailers around. So this machine should do all that as well.

after watching this last month, I got myself one from BDI Equipments, the price and quality are good

The pucker factor watching you put that in the back of my dream Ute hahaha

Thanks for taking chances and restinga new equipment. It phelps to see if at work

That would be great for cleaning out barns. The surecan’s are a great idea, however they let fuel out way to slow for me. I found myself using the fill hole to pour gas out. I myself prefer the race style cans like what VP or u line has.

I love you hard work man great job my favorite bro 😎 👍 ✌

Great video dude.

I really like the little mini loader

Relatively new to this channel but I love it. Stan, how many pieces of equipment to you own/lease for your year round operation? Are they all stored at your farm? Or do you have a large shed/lot somewhere else?

I really enjoy using a mini skidsteeer. The dingo 1000 with tracks is nice

i would love one of those

Operator’s getting work by the equipment. Learning curve, working the tool, that’s what makes her happy, right!

Love the video!! Looking to buy one 💪

does this have any kind of pitch on it and enough HP to do a little digging? im only talking about 1/2 foot to a foot or grass / dirt

Really enjoyed this video. I am considering buying a similar piece of equipment. I have looked at the single purpose sidewalk snow removal equipment. To me they are too expensive to only be used 4 moths of the year. So something like this would be more useful. I have a small mowing/snow removal business.

Does this machine use standard mini-skidsteer attachments?

Great video

A bucket with teeth makes all the difference in the world

Way handy little power tools. Paint them to look like a Milwaukee "Fuel" hand tool!

Holy crap! Those worky jerky quads are a bundle of loot!! I can't see that price not by a long shot.

That's what I love about this channel I was really thinking about buying one but I was skeptical on I went with B I wanted to see what someone else couldn't do with it first

Do these work with standard skid steer implements or are they cast specific?

Man, I love it! I sure wish stand-on loaders were less expensive, pricewise along the lines of scut tractors. I'd would definitely get one then.

Nice little machine.

Curious as to whether you think that the cast loader (big one) is suitable to take out on jobsites?

Why on earth is there no hip padding?

this machine is very good

I have a Titan XD with the diesel and I am very impressed with the truck so far only 56,000 on it in 2 years so far but it tows great and for the price is almost impossible to beat.

I have worked commercial construction and logging and farm /ranch type work there are 2 type equipment operators those in hurry no patience and others take time not rush it The 2nd usually finish faster and no break equipment

Wondering if you could turn down the flow on the hydraulics a touch? Make it a little slower but more controllable?

You mentioned the Tesla truck. Pulling a trailer, the power will but phenomenal. But I think I learned in my years of working with battery powered equipment in a warehouse. The more of a load you put on the battery, the faster you drain the batteries. Any time you have to climb a grade will also drain the batteries. Temperatures are a huge factor with batteries in equipment, the colder the temperatures the faster the batteries will drain. And they take longer to charge in colder temperatures too. Speaking of charging, the batteries will take 8 to 12 hours to fully charge. If you short charge the batteries, it will dramatically shorten the life of the batteries. A word of caution, if a battery powered vehicle get in a accident. Batteries have a tendency to explode. These are some things that I learned being a forklift mechanic

Nice little tool

During the video a couple of times you mentioned "extending the season". What did you mean by that? Is this equipment able to run in some weather when other equipment can't be used?

Have a great Thanksgiving .... and stay safe.

Will this work perfect for a backyard hill that I'm trying too make level with the concrete?

Nice one👍

Hope you had a good Thanksgiving! Busy doing home improvement so I'm watching this a little too late.

Pretty dope

Toro dingo same as that equipment but they also have one on tracks. The tracks actually make for a smoother ride

Would a small power rake work on this for those tight areas? Would it be a good use or is it too Jerky?

that thing looks like it might be great for making hiking trails, single track mountain biking trails and stuff like that.

We have a Bobcat MT-85 and a Vermeer CTX-160 and both have pilot controls and tracks like a full size skid loader and they’re much easier to use than the one you’re running Stan. They’re barely at the shop, since they’re so popular among the crews. Highly recommend picking up a mini skid

Solid.

I used the tracked one and its amazing

Thanks for your videos.. Unrelated question, I see the rider next to this has those run flat tires, what are those called? Looking to get them for my Toro rider. Thanks

Very small unit but it has its uses. Might work well for for mulch jobs. Add a wind shield and i bet that would do a great job on sidewalk snow jobs..

That stand up mower next too the skid steer. Are those stock wheels, it looks awesome. never seen such thing.

Legally, a Nissan Titan HD is classified as a half ton truck. But you you research the specs, it's built like a 3/4 ton truck. And with the V8 Cummins, it'll run forever. I'm seriously considering getting one. And I'm a Ford guy. LOL

I'd like to see you plow snow with that 👀✌️

Thanks. Have a good day.

How does it work on a small Trench 18” deep for Water Lines? (Options on a cutting blade) Do you know how deep it’ll go? Compared to a DitchWitch Walk behind trencher.

all those nice machines just sitting outside :(

I own a Titan xd diesel with platnium package. Platnium has 20 inch wheels. I tow a fith wheel toyhauler and Ive worked mine as well. The XD is a full box frame its considered a 5/8 truck. Fits nice in parking spaces.

Great demo Stan, I'm in the market for a stand on mini skid steer track machine. I'm looking at Ditch Witch Sk1050 Kubota SCL 1000 and Vermeer 925 as an all-around multi purpose machine at can do just about anything with the right attachment. Would be great to see you do a review on this style of machine. Thank you for doing youtube videos 👍👍keep up the good work and God bless you!

what about rollover backwards? How stable does it feel? Skid-steers are known for that. In case of this machine if rollover happens, the operator will get squashes. Should have somekinda safety bar behind the machine? Thanks for posting

In Australia where this type of machine was created it is called a dingo and they are a great little machine with loads of different attachments from tranches, 4 way buckets, cement mixes, forklift, rippers, ect. Anyone can use them

I have two regular Titans and thought about trying out the diesel. I have weighed out the rock qaury with the standard ones I have weighing 26 k total pounds. I pull equipment and dump trailers on a regular bases and really like my Titans. Only down fall is the gas ones have sucky fuel mileage but has the strength to do a lot more than your normal f150 or such. Plus DOT leaves us alone with our trucks, and yet we pull more than most them other bigger trucks.

I have a 2019 Nissan Frontier SV. (I mainly mow). The frontier can do as much as a 1500 could do ten years ago. It tows 6,100, and I have a 7’2 plow on it. I would definitely like to try that new Titan XD though! And I am regretting getting a short bed!

Those mustang skid steers are amazing definitely demo one if you can

on the nissan titan truck nissan is not selling titans in Canada for 2021 so is America next ?

We have used similar ones work ok on flat ground any mud and your done. WNR.

Steel green manufacturing makes a snow plow that attaches to the front of their fertilizer spreader now you should check it out . Turns a summer rig into a year round machine like you were saying .

work for a hardscapes company and we mostly use the bobcat mt85 just because it can get in tight spots. i works pretty good

No problem seeing the bucket edge.

My favorite part of this video was inside the dealership.... No masks and a handshake. How 2019 of everyone. Seriously, thanks for the video. I've been looking into a smaller stand on mini loader as an alternative to the dingo and bobcat

we have some bobcat mini loaders and we work them very hard. If you buy one just make sure its well built

Any ideas for sometjing to plow snow with in the winter but mow in the summer?

I wish more of the smaller skid-steers were diesel, maybe with something like a Deutz F2L511. Gas engines make them a non-starter for use in underground mines for both safety and regulatory reasons. Something else I'd like to see is cost-effective remote control options for them. Interesting that your dealer has multiple site dumpers. Those haven't gotten much traction in the US; it will be interesting to see if that changes.

What does something like that go for?

I have 2014 Boxer 322D Has the two drive levers , two outside levers boom and bucket. Point being yes it took me 4 ,5 hundred hours to perfect the machine. It's like a stick shift truck , nobody can borrow it 😃

Does the herkie jerky, have a power broom option for like sidewalk clearing and snow removal? maybe a salt shaker for the sidewalks? well everything has a learning curve. like every year first inch of snow find empty lot do a couple power slides, just to wake up the mussel memory. looks to be useful and more finessed machine.

Those XBox skills will finally be useful in real life for me LOL

I would love to get my hands on a really cheap used mini skid steer and dump trailer that i could use to rip up the entire (cough) ‘lawn’ in my yard. The problem is - when youre broke, you cant afford things.

Better than shoveling snow or gravel by hand....

I think the new F-150 Hybrid will be a good option for a work truck with the 20A 120V and 240v ~7k watt outlets.

A Titan XD is not quite a 3/4 ton truck, it is often referred too as a heavy duty half ton. It has a 3/4 ton frame with most of the other components shared with the half ton titan. It can actually do quite a bit of work. It can run a full size plow and does have a standard gooseneck hitch although towing maxes out around 12k

I want to see your Worky Quad in of your snowplowing videos. That will be the test.
