  • I took a chance & bought a Mini Loader-But I never used one before- never even drove one. Today we really test it-Can it work without tearing up grass? What can it actually do? Is it worth it? And then Franky has a Hoarders farm to clean-up so we check out if the machine could maybe help there.

  • @wiktorlol9800
    @wiktorlol9800 3 года назад +23

    This type of machine dominates the market in europe, for this reason we do not see skidster loaders here, the main brands are Avant (made in finland) and Multi One (made in italy), both brands are known for the infinite number of tools available and their versatility if you deal with gardening, planting grass, small earthworks or agriculture and animal breedingin cramped conditions, it is an ideal machine, especially the largest machines of these manufacturers, although they are still small and agile.

    • @xenonram
      @xenonram 3 года назад

      You have multi one, but not cast? They're both from Italy.

    • @Faulpelz55
      @Faulpelz55 3 года назад +3

      We do have Cast, but they're not as common as Avant and Multione. There are several loaders of this size available. "Knickmops" from Belgium, little bigger "Weidmann", "Kramer" and "Schäfer" from Germany/Austria, several smaller European and a bunch of of Chinese manufacturers.
      Bobcat recently presented two smaller models which are not offered in Europe yet.
      You see them a lot here. Besides smaller streets, yards and work space in general one reason is weight. With drivers licenses for cars and trailer, we are limited to 3.500kg for each car and trailer. To haul machines without the need of a commercial truck license, they may not be heavier than about 2.700kg. So this size machines comes in handy.

    • @stuartandrews4344

    Great safety as an operator. You put that bucket flat and looks as if you shook out the pressure. Notice little guy jumps on the bucket just after 17:30.

    Occasionally turn over your manure pile. Gets air and moisture into the pile and speeds up the decomposition. Also run through it with a rototiller. This breaks up the clumps, aids aeration and speeds up the process. I rototill and move the loose stuff to a second pile.
