They came on this model from the factory, if you actually look closely the cut outs are the outline from the freightliner symbol, they look good polished but they only look good on this model
I ran both cat and new Holland skid steers but I fell in love with a Takeuchi! It to me was more powerful and for sure more responsive that the others. Definitely it was faster speedwise . Be a machine to look into yourself before you totally commit to buying a loader.
Hey you might want to take a look at a Takeuchi before you buy. A RUclipsr in Ca. Vbelt & Son clears land and they say it has been the best machine they have ever used.
Those rims with a good polish, the chrome and paint is going to look incredible!! I can't wait to see this!! Air Force truck, Rooster, The Classic and W9 😍
You are the man Tim! FYI I’ve had Covid twice but no vaxx. America’s Frontline Doctors got me a script for HCQ and antibiotics for pneumonia. It knocks the crap out of it and I keep my immunity!
I'd look into a kabota svl95. Incredible machines, hydraulics feel great and they are really easy to work on. Cabs are pretty spacious for a skid steer. I like cats but they are a real pain to work on if anything happens. The high flow on the kabota is really nice and powerful as well
Take it from a guy who used to work at the plant where the CAT skid steers where built, I say go with CAT all day. They put them through the paces before they send them out to the customers and make sure that there is not going to be a defect if they can help it. There performance is even better. If I were you, I would wait just a little bit longer because CAT is coming out with an even bigger machine in the near future bigger than the 299D.
When you felt like you had food poisoning that is also one of the symptoms of covid. In my case l had covid pneumonia which put me 2 steps away from meeting Our Lord. He decided otherwise and allowed me to stay here. This covid can be a wicked adversary so l hope you get back to good health soon.
John deer is overpriced junk. Parts are so overpriced .about the best you can get is a kubota or Yanmar .Yanmar are my favorite tracked machines they are where you get the most bang for your buck.
Well it's nice to catch an updated vlog ,but I'm glad you're over the COVID and doing better. I'm retired and drove for 47 yrs now on disabled what a life , just wanted to rant , great channel I love it
I feel like if they do that they will have to buy out all these old trucks. Or their will be grand father clause. Just like normal cars/trucks fall under.
What color you thanking for the Freightliner, now that Kenny moved out of the 379 and doing some RGN runs I’d look into putting a 4th air lift axle on the Pete
Love the freightliner classic good looking truck. Love the peterbilt ole rowdy rooster hope to see more of her. Awesome job Tim. Glad you're feeling better.
299 all the way. Fast quiet comfortable. Grab some forks for it and it'll handle all your shop needs. Love the classic. Can't believe the interior. Would make a great truck to have for yourself and Brax to run. Big bunk big power
I have been operating equipment for 30 years haven't been on a cat but I love a Takeuchi. But what ever you decide on get it with high track wide track.
Those curly cords n hoses are past their lifetime, I'd junk them n replace before hitting the road. The Shaker Tomahawk wheels look real good polished up n have personality. On a Shaker they rock, on a unshakeable their dumb.
Check out the case track machine the big one the good machines my boss said eight of them and never had a problem with not one of them and they run great don't matter what how cold it is and it started up and run every time I love the machines the great machines try the case
Looking so forward to seeing the Classic finished. Love your vids. I truly appreciate that you are taking these older awesome trucks and giving them a new life. Done right they are much more reliable than the new ones (my opinion). Keep safe and keep trucking 🚚.
I’ve ran them all cat to me is the best you have really good support for tech and part’s kobuta there service sucks well now John Deere has good service like cat I guess it comes down to what you can afford and what you like I just like the way the cat is set up and runs opinion is like a holes everyone has one and there all different
that's a QUIET TRUCK till you hit the JAKES LOL HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA ... no RATTLES noticable heading out your ''driveway'' like ya hear in lots of other trucks...... ;) I concure with the masses, NICE TRUCK!!! GOOD JOB on gettin it back on the road!!! :) CONGRATZ!!! :) it's gunna be AWESOME!!!
Is TAKEUCHI a good brand? Takeuchi has a half-century of experience making heavy equipment for the construction industry. This long track-record has earned the Japanese company a well-deserved reputation for offering machines that meet high standards for performance and operator comfort while also being reliable and durabl TRY IT BEFORE KNOCKING IT BE SURPRISED👍🍻
15 speed with the horseshoe tranie !!!! nice had one just like her!!!!! had one with a 13 speed with the 500 cat man i loved that motor almost as much as my 4 1/4 !!!!! 425 oh ya !!! had one that was running around 750-800 horse!!!! just say'n !!!!! oh and if ant a CAT sand it back !!!!! just say'n !!!!! Detroit sires 60's are all right !!!! 10-4 kicker back my mommy said i would be a super trucker some day !!!! just say'n !!!!!
Ole skool aint shifting up, with that jake poppin off like that. Just sayin' Also... On initial take off. It sounded like a fresh motor. That is a nice house. (Your buddy just complimented the jake BRAKING. It is not a jake shifter and that is the reason why toggle switches ended up long. Used to be. You had one long switch. Night jake in darker cabs. Then... Big pimpin came in.
Awesome content.... Cat skidsteer cab is to narrow inside, and the front bucket cylinders don't have bushings in them. Cat said to just change the $900 cylinder when they get loose... wtf. A Gehl rubber track Skidsteer us where it's at, or a Takeuchi, they have a tip in door/window (like and excavator front glass) that you don't need to have the arms all the way down to get out. Deeres arms seem to block a lot of you view
I'm 24 this year and am mechanically inclined I've done hot shot trucking with wedge car trailers. I want to get my CDL and do trucking I got 3 kids and a wife to provide for but I simply can not get anyone to help me get the CDL (need trucks and shit to get the CDL). Look like you run a good company with good employees. Good luck on your future endeavors.
4-5 days? Dang dude. It’s knocked me out for a week and a half. Got dehydrated and passed out once. But ya. Felt like hell. Been pushing electrolytes and vitamins ever since. Hopefully none of the fam gets it.
Had them all.. I purchased a new jcb 300 or 325 t.. I got a 2008 cat and its it's a pos.. leaking out of weed very orface.. I go through half the diesel I use to since switching.. do a jcb demo and you will see. Plus the cab is huge .. ex yo get in and out of.
Hey, ive watched alot of videos and you and your family are always getting better and better at trying to whats best for yall and the channel. You and your wife and kids are awesome. Hey, just a little challenge between you and Brax. Who can back a trailer up the best. Oh sorry Tim. All i can say is good luck. My money is on Brax.
Tim if you want the best stay away from Cat and Bobcat, look at Kubota SV95-2, great machine so is the 75-2 they will out work all the rest and you can get out of the machine if the bucket is up.
You gotta love the XL Classic ( long hood).... You may want to check out the king pin bushings on the steer.When it's done that's going to be bad to the bone ' Freight Shaker' - Fruit Can
Great video!! You need to check out V Belt &Son and Upstate Brush Control for some mulching and skid steer videos and reviews. I can’t wait to see how the freightliner will turn out!!!
I have owned Kubota New Holland cat pretty much all the big names skid steers over the years and I will say that John Deere is by far the best there is actually RUclips videos of skid steer races it's basically like a course they do of lifting and going up hills check it out but I will say for sure I am a John Deere skid steer guy I like other machines with like my excavators and graders and dozers but for skid steers John Deere all the way
& would u ever consider stretching the frame & adding a "" SUPER- SLEEPER"" to the existing sleeper integral cab set up,, & all's iam saying is that it would look awesome with a S.S!!!
Why use Jake's when you are nor hauling nothing. Zero load why use Jake unless it's only cause your addicted to the sound. And it makes you feel cool. LOL
Yes sir sound good except 1 lil pet pee turn jake off when you up shifting I hear truck drivers doing that in truck stops I know you was just playing with it and it does sound good that’s just my pet pee lol
my dad has the 333g he loves it i have not drove it too nice for me we use case skid steer at work and have used a Kubota ssv75 wheel model at old job don't get a bobcat test out a jcb look at Ryan's on how farms wok RUclips channel i want one a jcb
If you need skid steer attachments my brother is the largest Jenkins Iron and Steel dealer in the US, he has around 400 attachments in stock at his Megastore in Oklahoma
I worked for a deere dealer n I personally have ran a 299 at a cattle sale barn with a decent set of tracks n I would choose cat any day. Biggest issue with any brand make sure you can get parts from a local dealer. Had a few Kubota come threw the shop and we had to drive a hour each way just for parts.
Buy the Kubota with the roll up front window you can get out if you have the bucket off the ground , you can't with the machines that the door opens out
I didn't like those condo trucks til I drove one.. I always thought the extra height wasn't needed with the flatbeds and it would cause air cavitation behind the cab.. but found out the ride was worth it though!!
I used to polish big trucks and that paint would buff out also the tanks if there isn’t to much chips in it would polish to it would probably take a day or 2 to get it nice
if you drive always wear your Seatbelt no if ands or buts unless you wants end up 6 feet under you will get thrown out and you will regret it always wear them no buts about it I rather have whiplash than be in a casket
Could be the boost signal/pressure sensor….had that happen about 15 years ago on a 1999 Century with an S60, pulling a hill with 7800 gallons of jet fuel…thought the turbo took a powder on me.
I can't help but say that I love that classic....I drive one back in 2000 and loved it then too...now I drive local...but still reminisce I suppose...some day I'm gonna buy me a ole classic n just drive er around .
I like the wheels on the Freightliner. They just need a good polishing they are different!👍🇨🇱
Same. They arnt what you see all the time. Maybe another truck will get them instead if he takes them off.
They came on this model from the factory, if you actually look closely the cut outs are the outline from the freightliner symbol, they look good polished but they only look good on this model
@@kylefitzherbert9381 you don’t see them all the time because they’re ugly 😂
I actually think they look pretty cool as trailer rims
Had them on a 95 fld new in 95.
I ran both cat and new Holland skid steers but I fell in love with a Takeuchi! It to me was more powerful and for sure more responsive that the others. Definitely it was faster speedwise . Be a machine to look into yourself before you totally commit to buying a loader.
Takeuchi is a good machine, ASV or JCB I'd take over $$$ Cat n Communist Deere and their "proprietary BS"
Man that freight shaker sounds good and brings back memories from the nineties, the 3 stage Jake's are killer.
You can still get a 3 stage jake
COVID and then using that vap...... Come'on Tim !?!?
It's like all the other BS he brings up,. Channel is getting worse .
Hey you might want to take a look at a Takeuchi before you buy. A RUclipsr in Ca. Vbelt & Son clears land and they say it has been the best machine they have ever used.
Takeuchi certainly makes a great machine, but what they really struggle with is dealer support.
Those rims with a good polish, the chrome and paint is going to look incredible!! I can't wait to see this!! Air Force truck, Rooster, The Classic and W9 😍

Bigger than the 299?? Jesus! What’s it gonna weigh? 14,000?
@@chevyon37s I don’t know🤷🏻♂️I left CAT before I could ever get the chance to see it. I just heard from the uppers it’s gonna be massive😂
I've had them all and by far cat is the the only way to go. Been watching you since day one your by far the best youtuber. Keep doing you brotha

John deer is overpriced junk.
Parts are so overpriced .about the best you can get is a kubota or Yanmar .Yanmar are my favorite tracked machines they are where you get the most bang for your buck.
Really enjoy your content tim. Thanks for what you do rolling these trucks down the road stay safe much respect to ya bud.
Well it's nice to catch an updated vlog ,but I'm glad you're over the COVID and doing better. I'm retired and drove for 47 yrs now on disabled what a life , just wanted to rant , great channel I love it
What happens Tim when the government says you can’t operate trucks without DEF on them in the next 5 yrs . ?
I feel like if they do that they will have to buy out all these old trucks. Or their will be grand father clause. Just like normal cars/trucks fall under.
@@joshallen7169 they won’t buy out if anything they will give a year or 2 notice but it’s coming .
SO WHO WHERE YOU AROUND BECAUSE THAT PERSON HAS COVID AND NOW SPREDING TO OTHER PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE IT THIS IS WHY WE CANT BEAT THIS
watch dirt perfect you tube channel he has a kabota
I love those wheels on the ole freight shaker Tim. I’d paint er Metallic Cherry Red. With metallic glossy jet black front fenders
Should take your pete and the Freightliner and Cabover to MATS 2022 if your able to
What color you thanking for the Freightliner, now that Kenny moved out of the 379 and doing some RGN runs I’d look into putting a 4th air lift axle on the Pete
Love the freightliner classic good looking truck. Love the peterbilt ole rowdy rooster hope to see more of her. Awesome job Tim. Glad you're feeling better.
I had freight liner wheels shaved from 20.5 to 20” for my old f350. With low pros. Loved the look
299 all the way. Fast quiet comfortable. Grab some forks for it and it'll handle all your shop needs. Love the classic. Can't believe the interior. Would make a great truck to have for yourself and Brax to run. Big bunk big power
I have been operating equipment for 30 years haven't been on a cat but I love a Takeuchi. But what ever you decide on get it with high track wide track.
Tim amazingly awesome first drive on the classic
Love the videos Tim keep up the good work, have a good day!

Love the content and can’t wait to see how the Frieghtliner turns out. Chomping at the bit to see the W900 progress and see it finished.
Case just came out with there biggest on the market today
Those curly cords n hoses are past their lifetime, I'd junk them n replace before hitting the road.
The Shaker Tomahawk wheels look real good polished up n have personality. On a Shaker they rock, on a unshakeable their dumb.
Where's that big as r leak coming from?
Check out the case track machine the big one the good machines my boss said eight of them and never had a problem with not one of them and they run great don't matter what how cold it is and it started up and run every time I love the machines the great machines try the case
I'd like to see one truck finished.
Looking so forward to seeing the Classic finished. Love your vids. I truly appreciate that you are taking these older awesome trucks and giving them a new life. Done right they are much more reliable than the new ones (my opinion). Keep safe and keep trucking 🚚.
That classic has got one hell of an air leak

20 yrs of equipment experience in dirt work. Ran every brand my opinion is can’t go wrong with Kubota. Stay away from new Holland/case

buy a TAKEUCHI SKIDSTEER or CAT only much less headaches all around.
Thanks for the updates and keep up the good videos . Stay warm and get to feeling better. 👍🖐
oh what a surprise a NEW BUMPER.......not! every truck gets a new bumper first lol every single truck you get haha
Can I work for you guys I have been driving trucks when I was 17 years old and I know how to hook up to the trailer and back up to the loading dock

Cat is great Deere good also not as nice as cat no Kubota not very reliable from what I've heard that's just my opinion
Takeuchi are the best skid steers around, way WAY more reliable than any American skid steer brand.
Tim why don't you use the clutch when you change gears it makes it smoother and it's better for the gearbox
The current destopo regime wants to kill all of these old rigs. Thanks for your hard work keeping these alive.
Buy the Kubota with the roll up front window you can get out if you have the bucket off the ground , you can't with the machines that the door opens out
Kubota all the way.
JD overrated
Cat maybe overpriced but #2 if not #1
I didn't like those condo trucks til I drove one.. I always thought the extra height wasn't needed with the flatbeds and it would cause air cavitation behind the cab.. but found out the ride was worth it though!!
Hey what happened to Brax's little Ford he got for that beetle? Would love an update on that lil truck. She had a lot of potential.
HOW are you coming along on fixing your friends truck, ? the one that got scammed ?
Don’t waste your time with a kubota they are gutless no power either deere or cat only way too go.
I used to polish big trucks and that paint would buff out also the tanks if there isn’t to much chips in it would polish to it would probably take a day or 2 to get it nice
if you drive always wear your Seatbelt no if ands or buts unless you wants end up 6 feet under you will get thrown out and you will regret it always wear them no buts about it I rather have whiplash than be in a casket
dont you think it will be time to finish at least one of your projrct truck dont know ... like the army truck look more and more like Bruce wilson
Later model John Deere skid steers are my favorites not least because they have excellent accessibility to the engine bay and accessories.
Tl12 best machine. 299 and 333 would be my second and third choice
What is you main line of work out there I'm a trucker here in the uk on bulk work carting grain etc would love to come out there driving them rigs
Wow, First owner, operator for the company,,, NICE.....
Could be the boost signal/pressure sensor….had that happen about 15 years ago on a 1999 Century with an S60, pulling a hill with 7800 gallons of jet fuel…thought the turbo took a powder on me.
Where was that place you picked up that trailer it looked like some pikey place in England?
Tim where is the k100 love that truck have a good week end buddy
That old pumpkin truck should be twisting 900 ponies now.
Bobcats are toys
Deere and the Kubota 75-2 are wicked machines
Stupid RUclips unsubscribed me from your channel !!!
How much did it all cost to get the truck up and going and how did you buy it for if you don’t mind me asking?
Get what ever has the best dealer support in your area. No sense getting a cat if you have no dealer support in your area..etc
I can't help but say that I love that classic....I drive one back in 2000 and loved it then too...now I drive local...but still reminisce I suppose...some day I'm gonna buy me a ole classic n just drive er around .
Kubota svl95-2 is roomier for a big guy and you have to be comfortable
I’m definitely a Cat 299 fan. Hard working machine

Thanks you for watching

Takeuchi is what you need, trust me you won't regret it. The bottom of the list is the Kubota.
