Love my Ego tools/ equipment. I’ve used the chainsaw more than my 4 Stihl saws in the last yr. The hand blower has more blowing power than almost all gas ones.
Howdy Brock! Wow what a show! I'd love to walk through that just to rubberneck at everything. The only brand you showed that I have any experience with is EGO. For the commercial market, probably not the best option, but for the regular Joe like me, they are fantastic. I have their string trimmer, leaf blower, chainsaw, pole saw, and self propelled walk behind. All of them have met my expectations. I have 3 acres on the farm, plus two other residential properties and they have held up fine. I've had the string trimmer for 6 years and my arms wear out before the battery runs out lol. This was my third season with the walk behind and I have not noticed any loss of battery life. I mow about 1/2 an acre with it weekly. As long as you sharpen the blade annually it makes a great finishing cut. So for their target market, they are cost effective and very good. Commercial - maybe not so much yet. I look at it as that is 5 gas motors I don't have to maintain 😁 Well done and thanks for sharing 🤠
That whacker brand they make a plate, tampers and plate rollers for construction. They've been around for a while. I believe that's what they're talking about.
Wacker Neuson is a big player in the construction industry. They are global. Invented the jumping jack. Also called “Wacker”. German company with manufacturing all over the world, including WI. If you drive by road construction you’ll likely see something Wacker.
We have a Kawasaki Mule side by side and it does everything we need. It's not fancy, just a dependable work horse. And It'll climb these steep Ozark hills pulling a log arch with a good size piece of tree in it. I see quite a bit of Wacker equipment on construction sites. I've never seen any sort of consumer versions of it.
Interestingly, when I checked the TYM website (as of October 27, 2024), the new T3025 25 HP cab model didn't appear. My son-in-law would have gone with TYM, but the closest dealer was just too far away, so he went with the local Kubota dealer and purchased the 25 HP cab model LX2620HSDC. He's very impressed and happy with it as he has 9 acres of lawn to maintain, and so far, it serves him well. He has also used the front-end loader to remove debris and fallen trees from the property. It's surprising how much you can do with a well-equipped 25 HP tractor.
We had a great time at Equip expo, I really enjoyed having the venue inside and out.. Tested alot of different equipment * Takeuchi / New Holland Skid Loader - Very quiet Smooth controls.. * Yanmar Tractors, Skid loaders, and compact Excavator have very smooth controls.. You know, it seems like every other manufacturer has Yanmar engine & hydraulic control? Very. Impressed * John Deere P60 Smooth has controls / Great hydraulic system which I believe it has a Yanmar engine in it .. Very impressed * Ferris diesel 6200 nice, & high price .. * Bad boy stand on / Exmark Was impressed with the controls.. Very smooth. * Kioti & TYM Always has great equipment.. * Greenwork / Kress Are coming out with some innovative products but kind of expensive.. Definitely will be back next year!! It was nice catching up with some of the youtube's..
Battery powered pole saw is excellent. Just bought one from Milwaukee and I would never go back. Also, battery leaf blower is good for light jobs around the house.
I am shocked that you’ve never seen whacker Newson. I think you must have and are just not recognizing it because almost every compactor you will see on a construction site is going to be whacker Newson and their skid steers have been getting pretty popular as well
I use that aspen fuel before winter storage. Here in canada all fuel has ethanol even premium. That aspen fuel has a great shelf life that wont gum up a carb over our long canadian winter.
Brock instead of a side-by-side check out a Japanese mini truck. All the creature comforts you would want plus a 6 foot long hydraulic dump bed, five speed, four-wheel-drive, differential lock, AC and heat plus a radio! Tim in northern TN
This is the first video of his that I have ever watched but for someone who talks a lot of bs about a battery mower, he sure didn't have anything bad to say about the battery tractor that is just a bigger battery mower but that might be because he gets a little bit incentive from yanmar to say only good things about it, so it makes it kinda hard to trust what he says about any brand gas, diesel or battery, but that's just my personal opinion from one video. I might be way wrong but I might not..
@drufuss1981 my opinion about the mowers and the Tractor’s is the same. They might be the future, but they are nothing I would buy today. I think that’s how I said it in the video. I have no affiliation with the Yanmar, but anytime a representative gets on camera with me, I give him the space to say what he wants to say. I’m going to be respectful.
@RockhillfarmYT to be honest if I was more on the ball and would start my own RUclips channel and post videos of the work and different things I did and I ever got a chance to go to a tool or equipment show I would probably let company spoke person say anything they wanted to because these days unless something goes against your religious beliefs and personal standards, free tools or equipment is free tools or equipment every little bit helps if they scratch my back I'd be honest about there product because I don't want anyone to be cheated or hurt because of false information I gave, but I would talk it up for them to scratch their back in return, ... I myself and my dad and my son have a lawn care company and we have just got a new Kubota excavator and dump truck to try and move into the dirt work type of company and here in eastern Kentucky gas and diesel equipment is not going anywhere anytime soon but I would like to get a chance to try out some of the battery mowers because when I worked in the mines some of the battery equipment had power to spare but some stuff was just plain POS, and since you replied to my comment you earned my subscription to your channel,
I love my ego pusher/bagger. Largest oldest battery lawn equipment. The best. I have the 56v leaf blower now. I am keeping buying their stuff. No issues that bother my whole lawn front and back has an hour of run time. I have never not finished it all with one charge. Only maintenance is the cleaning deck and sharpening the blade.
top link on that Yanmar Sm series is pretty common her in europe. We use those type off hooks also on the linkage arms as quick hitch system and it works pretty good. whats the Best point is thet those ball bushings can stay on the implents so you just need to back up to your implemnt raise your 3 points and pusch the top link into place and your good to go. in comparison to your us quick hitches you dont need taht extra frame to use the quickhitch the tractor always carry's it with him. You can also equip your front 3 point with those hooks.
Wacker Neuson is a German Company. Their website shows a fair amount of authorized dealers across the U.S. but I wouldn't call it extensive. Most states have one or two dealers in it.
Used to work for them (corporate) they have a network in the US. They even have a factory in the US (worked there). But they have more history with concrete and compaction.
Some times the crap is more fun to look at. Every once in awhile you will find some realy cool useful stuff. Other times like you said a gimmick! I found some stuff I thought I had to have that I bought got it home and wonder what the heck did I buy that for. All good in the end makes life more interesting.
I will be getting an electric log splitter because I don't want to maintain another internal combust engine. I will either plug it into an outlet, or use my portable backup generator.
One thing I really don't like on the TYM 574 is how the front grill guard is held in position. Everyone else seems to use spring-loaded pulls pins but the TYM uses clamp bolts. What a PITA. Someone needs to make a conversion kit for it. I'd buy it.
Sxs: go aggressive/tall golf cart with atv tires. Look at farm stores. Don't waste money on gas powered cvt or hydro, trail running machines. You will regret spending 20k on ice when electric would do for 9k to 10k.
Some of the hand held battery powered tools are pretty good, have their use and place, but until they come up with a Mr. Fusion (Back To The Future) for tractors I'll stick to diesel. 🚜⛽
Thanks Brock.. I was wondering why You had several Mic's clipped on. AHAHAH Those Shows are a real get together for RUclipsrs. I've seen several now...
I liked the LED TV attachment on the front of the ventrac mower (@4:56). I don't know If I'd get a lot of work done with it, but it was cool. Is it PTO driven? (Just a joke!!) Sounds like you enjoyed the show!! Best, -- J. Andre. / Old Iron Acres
I was gunna ask if it raised an swivled !! :) LOL HAHAHAHAHA :) and ''how long it run in battery mode'' ??? or do you have to have the engine running for it to power up .,oplollol hahaha HAVE AN AWE SUM EVERY THING !!
@@OldIronAcres bluteeth into the headset pertection eargear ya be wearing and just get into the ''GAME'' eh??? yea buuudy !! :) might get crooked lines in the yard tho when the good plays happen!! LOL or when they show the cheerleeders?? eh seems that it could be an ''issue'' lol hahahaahhahaahaha does the VENTRAC have ''GPS autosteer'' like those big farm tractors??? LOL is that an option yet?? LOL
we only have a tiny yard but WE REQUIRE IT TOO !!!! heck I would volenterr to cut peeps grass at the local VFW if I had one!!! :) well volenteer for donations ;) sniker
I checked the TYM and oh,it realy has the best in class lift capacity.impressive.More than the tractor weight. But i already have Solis,it is great mechanical little beast. If i would buy again,probably i get TYM.We also have dealer quite near.P.S. Im from country where is most tractors per capita - Slovenia.Its like some status if u have good tractor. Ok,but farms gettin closed every day....No logic.🙃
I disagree that there is no place for an electric mower. They work very well for small suburban yards. I had an Ego self propelled walk behind mower, It worked very well cutting 1/3 acre. Used about 1/2 battery charge on dry grass. It was lightweight, quite, and moved at a good pace. Folded up easily and compactly and was easy to roll around storing upright (no gas to leak). I do agree that an electric ZT would not work well.
Technologocal evolutions occur at their own speed & difficulty. Some take years to get a foot hold, some take decades. Interestingly, sometimes the intended market / sector / industry can shift to another as the technology continues to evolve through new discoveries in purpose, function & and efficiency. Of the already existing already; the world has a very big NOW problem to solve, of which some haven't accepted. Teamwork, attitude. Good day.
What I have never lied on those subcompact tractors is the steering wheel for me is too low comparison to where you sit in that seat I don’t like it on John Deere. I don’t like it on compotes or most any other residential riding mower they can’t do much about the stairwell. Maybe they need to build a seat lower.
I truly believe that electric will eventually be the future but for now it’s in need of more energy capacity and faster charging. By problem with ride on mowers isn’t the engine or transmission. My failures is always the cutter deck and lift system.
$7,000 for a zero turn consumer ? I can get one for under $4,000 and I run a that sub $4,000 consumer Zero turn commercially alll day long for 3 years now with zero problems
All these mandates on electric powered whatever, they need to mandate that all like voltage battery equipment should be interchangeable, PERIOD Example;20V Milwaukee,20V DeWalt etc should be interchangeable without adapters
The new Yanmar stuff is kind of disappointing. Instead of looking for price-minded equipment they should keep making them higher quality like the YT series. Keep Yanmar engines and focus on build/material quality. They won't break into the price-minded market going against the Koreans.
I agree with you on most things but not use of battery power for homeowner lawns. While at first skeptical, after six years of use, I love my 80V Greenworks equipment. It all works at least as well as comparable consumer power equipment. Additionally, I really appreciate never having to deal with finicky carburetors and mixing fuel. Additionally, I don't smell like a gasoline engine when done with a job. I even have a chainsaw and it always impresses the neighbors who have consumer grade saws. The equipment is also very price competitive with quality consumer gasoline equipment if you watch for sales on Amazon. Another point is the 40v equipment is light enough that it allows my father to continue with his yard work much longer than he could have otherwise.
wacker is a weird brand..... they maybe best known for their compacting equipment. they also have concrete saws rebranded from makita. maybe the skidsteer is just a rebrand as well? overpriced in my opinion they do smaller stand behind skidsteers as well. maybe they aim for the small contractor ?
Do you not think that is what the horse and buggy guy said when Henry Ford showed up with his model T. Do you not think that is what the first plumber said when the PVC guys showed up. Its called evolving and it keeps happening. It doesn't mean it is happening all at once, it doesn't mean it will necessarily be 100% electric, that is just what is trending. Are you old enough to remember what the first Makita stick batteries looked like, i am. I can tell you things have evolved quite a bit since then, and they will continue. Would you rather we still be stringing cords all over the job side and using corded tools, I dont. I'm not one to fall for the scare tactics that a group of people are trying to use.
I said in the video that I think the future involves electric tractors. I still think what’s available today sucks. I didn’t say don’t try or work on it. I said it’s not good enough today. I recently bought an electric chainsaw. It’s a toy. Every possible avenue for innovation does not lead to an improvement
Lots of "ideas" and very few real world machines. Battery powered farm equipment sounds expensive to buy, expensive to repair, and always dead when you need it the most.
Yanmar 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻. I had their small scale hay equipment. The baler had a part that broke. I ordered it through Asheville NC about 5 weeks later or more I got a call my part was in? I machined my own with hand tools to get up and running the next day. Ridiculous to wait for a part for that long. Buy from a company that can service their customers
The Yanmar guy tells you if you live in a subdivision and don’t want to bother your neighbors 😂😂😂. Doing all that late night subdivision tractor work….OK
The only good thing about the electric stuff is for dummy homeowners who know nothing about engines or taking care of them. Or dummy employees at a facility who use that stuff and break everything gas related. We have a Gator at my job for example. I showed the new kid how to start it using the choke and then shut the choke off after 30 seconds of running or you will foul the spark plug. Well after about 10 minutes of using it the dummy fouled the plug because he didn't listen. Then employees will store gas engine equipment without adding any fuel treatment to the gas tanks and nothing will start after it sits for a while. So my company is switching to everything electric unfortunately at our facility because they are tired of the idiot employees wrecking all the gas engines and having to send them out for repairs. They wrecked 3 weed whacker engines so the company bought an electric one 2yrs ago. So far so good with that. So electric is better for dummies. Gas engines are better for us with brains.
I have to ask, are you really 100% sure about your current opinion now that about electric powered devices for farms and homesteads are not mainstream in future? You said that it cost too much, it will not offer enough power to do the job etc and etc. If I could kindly say something about this and my opinion, it would be that in short, I will not agree your opinion for this. Your opinion seems to be like typical "USA people opinion about how stuff use to work and I will not change my mind now and ever" and not "how stuff will work in future and I will not understand this yet today but would like to know more and maybe this is the future mentality". The future is 100% electric (would you like or not) for farm and homestead devices of course too but it will not be 100% for all people YET. This technology will evolve and it will take more time.
I said in the video, but I think there is a future for electric tractors. You can believe that the technology has a future without believing that it is economical or efficient today. Last year I bought an expensive electric chainsaw. It is a toy, not a real tool. Last year at the same show one of the electric lawnmowers caught on fire when someone was trying to use it. It could be the future, but it’s not the present. I also think people are pushing for it based on a false premise that it is somehow better for the environment, as if they didn’t have to do strip mining to get the lithium and burn coal in power plants to get the electricity
@@RockhillfarmYT Thanks for your reply for this. Yes, you are correct but like I said, current electric devices for farms and homesteads are not for every use, for every situations or for every need YET, but it will be in future. Before things get better, things get always worse before it will change for better. It is same in technology and someone have to "pay" this that technology can evolve. Still electric motor is so much more powerfull and efficient than fuel or diesel engine + electic motor have so much less moving parts. Electric devices batteries will evolve too. Currently lithium is the number one but soon there is other options for example sodium batteries and others which will not need any lithium. It is better for enviroment. The second thing is tha power in future is not created from coal or oil or nuclear power, it is created from solar and wind. That will take time too but maybe between 2040-2050 it will happen at least (maybe not in USA if your people will vote person which will not understand this enough ;) ). Third the reason why I have watch your good videos is that I have look for information for small tractors because I need it for my future "small homestead" and it will be diesel engine for now because it is the best tech on the market.

You can't get a dixe chopper in Denver
why wouldnt they make a rolling stand for the handheld trencher
They do. Its a 2 wheel cart that takes the load of not having to hold and carry the mini trencher.

Interestingly, sometimes the intended market / sector / industry can shift to another as the technology continues to evolve through new discoveries in purpose, function & and efficiency.

Good day.
On the electric Yanmar tractor, 4 hour battery life is not half a day on a farm !
wait, every product isn't the perfect match for every use case? no way!

I’m not into the electric tractors. Probably a hybrid would be better. For me I’ll stick to diesel
That would be so good if they hitched a hand start Kubota engine to a generator for a diesel electric.
All these mandates on electric powered whatever, they need to mandate that all like voltage battery equipment should be interchangeable, PERIOD Example;20V Milwaukee,20V DeWalt etc should be interchangeable without adapters
The new Yanmar stuff is kind of disappointing. Instead of looking for price-minded equipment they should keep making them higher quality like the YT series. Keep Yanmar engines and focus on build/material quality. They won't break into the price-minded market going against the Koreans.
I agree with you on most things but not use of battery power for homeowner lawns. While at first skeptical, after six years of use, I love my 80V
Greenworks equipment. It all works at least as well as comparable consumer power equipment. Additionally, I really appreciate never having to deal with finicky carburetors and mixing fuel. Additionally, I don't smell like a gasoline engine when done with a job. I even have a chainsaw and it always impresses the neighbors who have consumer grade saws. The equipment is also very price competitive with quality consumer gasoline equipment if you watch for sales on Amazon. Another point is the 40v equipment is light enough that it allows my father to continue with his yard work much longer than he could have otherwise.
wacker is a weird brand..... they maybe best known for their compacting equipment.
they also have concrete saws rebranded from makita. maybe the skidsteer is just a rebrand as well? overpriced in my opinion
they do smaller stand behind skidsteers as well. maybe they aim for the small contractor ?
Do you not think that is what the horse and buggy guy said when Henry Ford showed up with his model T. Do you not think that is what the first plumber said when the PVC guys showed up. Its called evolving and it keeps happening. It doesn't mean it is happening all at once, it doesn't mean it will necessarily be 100% electric, that is just what is trending. Are you old enough to remember what the first Makita stick batteries looked like, i am. I can tell you things have evolved quite a bit since then, and they will continue. Would you rather we still be stringing cords all over the job side and using corded tools, I dont. I'm not one to fall for the scare tactics that a group of people are trying to use.
I said in the video that I think the future involves electric tractors. I still think what’s available today sucks.
I didn’t say don’t try or work on it. I said it’s not good enough today.
I recently bought an electric chainsaw. It’s a toy.
Every possible avenue for innovation does not lead to an improvement
EGO chainsaws and weed eaters are great.
Lots of "ideas" and very few real world machines. Battery powered farm equipment sounds expensive to buy, expensive to repair, and always dead when you need it the most.
Yanmar 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻. I had their small scale hay equipment.
The baler had a part that broke. I ordered it through Asheville NC about 5 weeks later or more I got a call my part was in? I machined my own with hand tools to get up and running the next day.
Ridiculous to wait for a part for that long. Buy from a company that can service their customers
The Yanmar guy tells you if you live in a subdivision and don’t want to bother your neighbors 😂😂😂. Doing all that late night subdivision tractor work….OK
Totally disagree on the Ev , time to charge n extra cost to buy one ! Would never buy a EV CAR or tractor!
The electric gets better and better each year. To say otherwise is willful ignorance
Tweels are no bueno
The only good thing about the electric stuff is for dummy homeowners who know nothing about engines or taking care of them. Or dummy employees at a facility who use that stuff and break everything gas related. We have a Gator at my job for example. I showed the new kid how to start it using the choke and then shut the choke off after 30 seconds of running or you will foul the spark plug. Well after about 10 minutes of using it the dummy fouled the plug because he didn't listen. Then employees will store gas engine equipment without adding any fuel treatment to the gas tanks and nothing will start after it sits for a while. So my company is switching to everything electric unfortunately at our facility because they are tired of the idiot employees wrecking all the gas engines and having to send them out for repairs. They wrecked 3 weed whacker engines so the company bought an electric one 2yrs ago. So far so good with that. So electric is better for dummies. Gas engines are better for us with brains.
Battery tractor..... 😂😂😂😂😂🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈
Just don’t buy Chinese equipment
I have to ask, are you really 100% sure about your current opinion now that about electric powered devices for farms and homesteads are not mainstream in future?
You said that it cost too much, it will not offer enough power to do the job etc and etc.
If I could kindly say something about this and my opinion, it would be that in short, I will not agree your opinion for this. Your opinion seems to be like typical "USA people opinion about how stuff use to work and I will not change my mind now and ever" and not "how stuff will work in future and I will not understand this yet today but would like to know more and maybe this is the future mentality".
The future is 100% electric (would you like or not) for farm and homestead devices of course too but it will not be 100% for all people YET. This technology will evolve and it will take more time.
I said in the video, but I think there is a future for electric tractors.
You can believe that the technology has a future without believing that it is economical or efficient today.
Last year I bought an expensive electric chainsaw. It is a toy, not a real tool.
Last year at the same show one of the electric lawnmowers caught on fire when someone was trying to use it. It could be the future, but it’s not the present.
I also think people are pushing for it based on a false premise that it is somehow better for the environment, as if they didn’t have to do strip mining to get the lithium and burn coal in power plants to get the electricity
@@RockhillfarmYT Thanks for your reply for this. Yes, you are correct but like I said, current electric devices for farms and homesteads are not for every use, for every situations or for every need YET, but it will be in future. Before things get better, things get always worse before it will change for better. It is same in technology and someone have to "pay" this that technology can evolve.
Still electric motor is so much more powerfull and efficient than fuel or diesel engine + electic motor have so much less moving parts.
Electric devices batteries will evolve too. Currently lithium is the number one but soon there is other options for example sodium batteries and others which will not need any lithium. It is better for enviroment.
The second thing is tha power in future is not created from coal or oil or nuclear power, it is created from solar and wind. That will take time too but maybe between 2040-2050 it will happen at least (maybe not in USA if your people will vote person which will not understand this enough ;) ).
Third the reason why I have watch your good videos is that I have look for information for small tractors because I need it for my future "small homestead" and it will be diesel engine for now because it is the best tech on the market.
