Thanks for this video bro. We have a Giant sk252D and I kick myself every day for not choosing the mt100 instead. The Mt100 is King in my book. Pros outweigh the cons heavily.
We got about the same hrs on our first set of tracks the original bobcat ones suck we got camoplast i believe they were and they are way better. Great machine super simple and no electronic crap to break. We are about 350hrs now and no issues with it
I have yet to see any vieos of this machine driving on hills and am very curious to see that and hear about your experience on hills especially wet grass/ ground. Also curious to know how it does on snow plowing in tight spaces, etc.
Great review, been in business 30 years own full size track machines. Only needed to rent a mini skid once in 30 years of business . To fill under a deck.
I have a Vermeer S800, OK machine, but the dealer in Perth Western Australia are full of themselves and offer shit service/ warranty, so I'm looking at other options, Kubota looks good but has an electronic dash which doesn't enthuse me, , I will likely go Bobcat. Thanks for the review. Also, when you're back blading/ levelling, use the cutting edge which is hard and replaceable. The back of the bucket will wear out doing that.
@@EliteLawnCareLandscaping I ordered at the end of March, was told July... Now early Q4. I've heard of guys getting them sooner, must be a dealer relation thing?
1200 hours on our MT85. Kept waiting for something bad to happen but rolled the dice and came up lucky. Just added the 100 to the fleet and am looking forward to not having to grease the rollers - what a pain. Hope Bobcat fired that designer. Love your channel.
@@EliteLawnCareLandscaping thanks! Yeah I might get forks or a rigging system for my excavator. Once you get into the 1550 almost worth getting a full size any way.
@@EliteLawnCareLandscaping I didn’t have a good solution for that. I just moved it forward so it rested on the metal that separates the park brake from being engaged or not. Not sure if that makes sense but 🤷🏻♂️
Good video. Love my MT100! I also have a hydra bucket, and while i like the soil conditioner, the bucket itself isnt very usable because the drum teeth dig in.. do you find this to be an issue as well?
Yes we do - you have to have the bucket raised a bit then tilt it down to the ground so the drum isn’t rubbing. Kind of annoying but still way better than having to unhook a designated soil conditioner to switch out to a bucket, and vice versa
They really don't last long my machine at 295 spit a lug out of the track internally had a ton of meat on track but that's it would of failed shortly after.
Thats funny. Telling your guy to just run it through the paces while you go do some paperwork. Couple minutes later machine's in the office...your guy says "you never showed me how to stop it. Sorry boss, my bad. Where do want the key?"

This was super helpful. Especially the commentary at the end. Thanks man!

Great video. I will be picking my new one ( wide tracks 2023) in one week. I like that lighter weight bucket.
Congrats! You’ll love it. The 52” light material bucket is awesome. We use it for a lot more than what they it’s meant for 🤣

I figured Bobcat would have done away with the parking brake pin when the mt55/52 were replaced. That pin was always getting stuck. Great review video
Just gotta wiggle the the joystick and take the pressure off the park pins

We use it daily. Makes our lives 1000x easier and we do thing way faster. It does the work of 4 guys easily

Great feedback. Crazy how backordered these are...
What’s the timeline right now?
I just recently ordered a ditch witch sk1550 and the sales rep said to expect it in 12-16 months 😳

Do you have a video about installing the lights?
Great review. Thanks for sharing.
Only a 1/3 pallet? Was really hoping it could do a half pallet… our pallets are about 2500 lbs the extra counterweights won’t push it to 1250?
No, ours are typically 2500lbs too
Full size machine or a ditch witch 1550 is what you want to move a full pallet

Great review
I really like the z pattern tracks on a skid steer, can you get them for the mini
I’m not sure - I wanted multi bar tracks but they didn’t have them
I was just looking at machine MT 100 2022 last week they want $42,000 out the door. City of Ventura
Wow they’ve gone up a lot. It’s def a money making machine though. We use ours daily
They should be around $32,000-$35,000 right now.
Price gouging frfr
You get alot of people that just want that hydrabucket service
Just bought one in 2024 for $41k. Attachments for another $12k.
I had the same clicking of the parking break with my MT100 as well!
Great review!
What did you do to fix it?
@@EliteLawnCareLandscaping I didn’t have a good solution for that. I just moved it forward so it rested on the metal that separates the park brake from being engaged or not.
Not sure if that makes sense but 🤷🏻♂️
@@jaredrobinson3019 we couldn’t fix it either. I just have a small bungee cord holding the brake up now lol
There’s a cable inside the back hatch where u stand that u adjust to fix parkin brake mine done same thing
@@jasonprevatte8789 have you adjusted it? Was it hard to do?
How big is that Hydra bucket? Are you happy with that size?
52”. I love it
How’s the top speed forward and reverse on it? I have a mt 55 but grading is slow
I’m not sure on the exact speed but it doesn’t feel slow
@@EliteLawnCareLandscaping oh cool, thanks!

@@EliteLawnCareLandscaping I agree. Its a shame the drum isnt retractable or something because the bucket is insanely nice and way overbuilt!
Is your fuel gauge broken or are you actually running the machine that low on diesel?
@@davekushman2363 it’s works when it wants to lol almost always shows empty
Hi, how wide is your 4 in 1 bucket? thanks
@@biszooka 42”
You know where I can buy a bigger bucket for the mt100 ?
I have a 52” 1/2 yard “light” material bucket I got from blue diamond. It says it’s for snow and mulch but we literally use it for everything lol
@@EliteLawnCareLandscaping thank you for the reply I appreciate, do I need a universal quick attatch or bobcat gives you it alresdy
@@hazzurs it is part of the machine
@@EliteLawnCareLandscaping do you have link brother, I wanna get one before the spring
Btw where are the uploads?
how much was this?
New tracks at 280 hrs!!! Yikes!
Yep they were pretty bald
They really don't last long my machine at 295 spit a lug out of the track internally had a ton of meat on track but that's it would of failed shortly after.
Why not just buy a regular skid steer
