Built in us , there goes quality control. Sad but true. Best equipment is built in Japan.

I agree with you sir, but… let’s pray that attitude in this country of the new generations WAKE UP!!! Instill sense of pride in what Americans can do! Looking of course to our forefathers for guidance, we used to make the strongest the fastest! Remember WW 2 generation..

Working on a radio controlled model of a legally distinct "red track loader" and it has been great fun. Our Caterpillar at work just isn't as refined. Takeuchi (say it with me Brian: "ta kay oo chee") practice your Japanese syllables 😂. Real talk though, great video, can't wait to see more of Tak's full lineup hit our shores, and really miss those live streams.

Great to have the jobs in the US. BUT some businesses are just going to wait a couple of years to see how the quality and reliability of these of US made machines hold up before purchasing.

@KD-ss7rf I recently got a tb53fr I really like it but having some overheating issues in the summer wondering if you have had any issues or fixes for this? It kind of sounds like this could have been a common issue but nobody at the dealer seems to know anything any input would be appreciated thanks

They have a new pulley kit that allows the fan to spin up to 300 rpm’s more and belly pan with more holes to push the hot air out quicker. I put the kit on my 260

There goes the quality and the pricing. American quality control and work ethic is garbage.

Compact equipment is better if it is smaller. Smaller, powerful equipment is better with all the job sites getting smaller and smaller.

Better keep a sharp eye on quality control.Does'nt take much to destroy a solid reputation.They make good equipment,hope it stays that way.Japanese workers are much more disciplined and committed.

If they can now go back to Yanmar engines then I’d be excited. Until then we switched to Deere. The Kubota engines are failing at a high rate in the Takeuchi’s and even when under warranty still, Takeuchi is denying warranty. It’s a shame because we love them and they have been great until the TL12R2’s started having engine failures.

Any idea why?
