What can it do? Testing a new mini skid steer
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 июл 2024
- Its called a Worky Quad by cast. Can it load a trailer, spread soil or finish grade? Its a Mini stand on skid with 4 oversized wheels & a bucket & I HATED it. I was expecting it to run like other equipment- it doesn't. It Took a FULL day then I started to get used to it. First I test it by moving(loading and hauling) a pile of rotting material, Then attempt to spread material and end with seeing if it can finish grade.

You nailed it with the mini skid as a tool to use year round . I run an old boxer 427 brute tracked unit with similar controls . Since I’m only a small operation I needed a machine to get in tight spots , and do a bit of everything. I have a grapple , a 54” material bucket and the backhoe attachment. The machine is basically a crew of 6-10 guys without the liability. I love you videos Stan, good material you put out .
I know it’s a long shot but I’d like to ask ya a few questions about your boxer
Stan needs to invest in a garage to keep all his equipment out of the snow and rain
Awesome video Stan, always enjoying hearing your experience.
Glad you enjoy it!
Toro Dingo is very jerky as well, it’s a work out running a mini skid steer. Some jobs are made for these machines, had to move 12 yards of stone though a 5ft gate.. Perfect machine for the job!
Right on- these are great fro small spaces.
When you ran it out of fuel you underestimated the Honda engine! They are SO reliable! I had a teeny tiny 38" mower, i never did anything but put an air filter in it, and gas, no oil changes or anything in about 12 years owning it! Not saying that this is a practice you should follow but Honda engines are so so reliable! Expensive but reliable! Love your videos as always!
As with all true experts your modesty shows through! A nice bit of kit but at my age a seat would be vital. Nice to see credits for the excellent music Stanley . Bless you fellow Brother Of The Land - your videos warm my heart on these cold winter nights!
Thank you kindly!
That machine is essentially a copy of the "Dingo" that was invented in Australia in the 1980's. The hydraulic system is very crude compared to what you'd find in a modern skid-steer. Toro acquired the rights to the Dingo name for the Americas in 1997, and having briefly used a Toro Dingo TX1000, it's a much more refined machine.
Perfect machine for startup companies. Gets the job done. Nice demo!
You got that right!
Of all your great videos, my favorites by far are those where you try out a new piece of equipment. I love your comments; makes me so glad I subscribed.
Awesome, thank you!
This is old school content... And I love it!
I know...I'm Old school😉
Great content. Thank you for taking the time.
I had a ditch witch sk350 tracked mini skid steer and I bought a drop off bucket for it. I had a pick up truck with a steel dump body. With the drop off bucket I was able to unload the dirt to the apposite side of the truck. That style bucket is well worth the money.
Used a Toro Dingo for a few years in a cattle barn and loved it for feeding since we had to feed close to 200 head by hand carry 2 5 gal pails and it was a time process. Our Alley ways and doors were 60 inches wide and it was great we cut time from 5 hours down to one hour . We found it a bit loud but once all got used to it no prob . I got to play with a New Kubota SCL mini it was very nice with tracks and a diesel engine it was a little Brute..
So if you keep that machine within it's context you will have a better experience. Being brand new, those hydro's will be very jumpy until they break in. It is not like a piece of "heavy equipment". It is essentially a cracked out wheel barrow!!! (That can handle 40 + attachments) My Dingo 322 is one of the older series out there, and once you re align the expectations and get some time behind the controls, you will see that pound for pound they are very efficient, and when used correctly are also very low impact. Don't worry Stan there is a sharp learning curve!!!! Keep up the great vids
Looks like a fun new toy To add to the growing collection
Its an interesting machine that the more I use it seems to come in handy
Long comment alert!!!
I own a 2018 Titan XD SV midnight edition diesel . I have owned it since new and put 30,000 miles on it. It’s my work truck and daily driver. I’m a full time firefighter/emt, so I never have the option to stay home from work for inclement weather ( snow/ice, flooding, storm debris) it never fails me. As far as a work truck, I haul an enclosed trailer about 3 days a week during the mowing season. With multiple mowers and handhelds I estimate 5k lbs. I also haul my Kubota Bx2200 with loader. It’s by no means a 3/4 ton but also not a 1/2 ton. It handles the weight of the trailers well and stays around 18 mpg. It’s comparable to 3/4 ton numbers of the early and mid 2000’s. I have also driven the truck all over the southeast on vacation. With family and a bed full of luggage it’ll get 23 mpg highway. It’s the family truckster as well, i prefer it 10 to 1 to my wifes 2020 Grand Cherokee Altitude.
However it was Nissans best kept secret and the Cummins diesel was discontinued after 2019. ‘18 and ‘19 models are the most sought after due to having the bugs worked out.
Thanks for that & thanks for all you do!!!
We run Toro Dingos which are the same as that machine. Perfect for us going in backyards fits in most gates doing paver patios, grading, and even setting stone steps. Great video
Thanks for the info!
We run a bobcat mt 85 with wide track option. I was on the fence and had my doubts even after an extended demo period. But now that it’s part of the fleet we couldn’t operate without it. Definitely earns its keep.
Very cool....I'd love to have something like that to build trails on the farm!
Then I think you would like the Mini wheel loader a bit better on the farm its perfect.
Time for a dual creator video!!! Maybe? Lol
I’ve been using mini skid loaders since 1996. It’s pretty much the same machine I’ve used and they are so versatile we used it for EVERYTHING. I was able to load 3 to 4 yards of fill, stone and mulch into dump trucks many times. There’s a certain way to do it but it can definitely be done.
I’ve used about 10 or more different attachments. Love the Honda engine on that machine though. I like this machine and will check them out. You’ll love owning that.
Yeah...it's pretty awesome so far
That seems like a pretty cool machine. Skunks. I grew up where we adopted this dog that was being abused but ended up taking our other dog out on rainy nights coming back reeking of skunk. Still kept him and loved him, Tiny was his name. He would sit on his rump and drag himself along the rug a bit. I swear he knew how to smioe, too. He had a habit of passing gas right next to you, get up and move across the room and look at you smiling especially when you caught a good whiff. They were bad. If you were paying attention you might hear a lttle pfift sound. Aaah ,the things we remeber sometimes. Thanks for sharing.
Dogs sit on their butt and drag across the ground because they have worms. (Most of the time.)
Nice little machine to have around the property 😀 👌
Yes indeed!
Ha Stanley, great demo. I've only seen you do a couple videos with stand on loaders. You've got to try out Kubota's new SCL-1000 & Vermeer's new CTX-160
And ditchwitch's SK1550 & Sk3000They are all power house's . Keep up the good work and God Bless you my brother from another mother 👍👍
That little thing is cool looking 👍🏻👍🏻
Right!!!
That would be great for cleaning out barns. The surecan’s are a great idea, however they let fuel out way to slow for me. I found myself using the fill hole to pour gas out. I myself prefer the race style cans like what VP or u line has.
Good to know....thanks
I hate buying a $10 gas can. $50 is way too much for a sure can.
The pucker factor watching you put that in the back of my dream Ute hahaha
😂
@@Dirtmonkey 😂😂
I own a Toro Dingo 322 which is very similar. I have fixed gravel drives, trenching for buried power lines and phone lines with the trenching attachment. It is also great for moving trailers around. So this machine should do all that as well.
Thanks for taking chances and restinga new equipment. It phelps to see if at work
Sorry I did not edit before posting.
I meant, "Thanks for taking chances with new equipment"
You bet!
after watching this last month, I got myself one from BDI Equipments, the price and quality are good
I really like the little mini loader
Me too
Great video dude.
Really enjoyed this video. I am considering buying a similar piece of equipment. I have looked at the single purpose sidewalk snow removal equipment. To me they are too expensive to only be used 4 moths of the year. So something like this would be more useful. I have a small mowing/snow removal business.
i would love one of those
Pretty Awesome!!!
I love you hard work man great job my favorite bro 😎 👍 ✌
Thank you so much 😀
That's what I love about this channel I was really thinking about buying one but I was skeptical on I went with B I wanted to see what someone else couldn't do with it first
That's why I'm here👍
I have a Titan XD with the diesel and I am very impressed with the truck so far only 56,000 on it in 2 years so far but it tows great and for the price is almost impossible to beat.
Had one of those, was awesome but the engine blew after a year, I believe it was deleted at one point before I got it and then was kinda out back to stock before I got it.
I loved it and I was warranty work, Cummins replaced the whole thing but had to move in because parts were back ordered 3 months and my business couldn't wait.
I really enjoy using a mini skidsteeer. The dingo 1000 with tracks is nice
Yeah...me too
My favorite part of this video was inside the dealership.... No masks and a handshake. How 2019 of everyone.
Seriously, thanks for the video. I've been looking into a smaller stand on mini loader as an alternative to the dingo and bobcat
A bucket with teeth makes all the difference in the world
I have worked commercial construction and logging and farm /ranch type work there are 2 type equipment operators those in hurry no patience and others take time not rush it
The 2nd usually finish faster and no break equipment
Nice little machine.
It sure is!
Man, I love it! I sure wish stand-on loaders were less expensive, pricewise along the lines of scut tractors. I'd would definitely get one then.
yes i love it too
Operator’s getting work by the equipment. Learning curve, working the tool, that’s what makes her happy, right!
Love the video!! Looking to buy one 💪
Great video
Thanks for the visit
A Titan XD is not quite a 3/4 ton truck, it is often referred too as a heavy duty half ton. It has a 3/4 ton frame with most of the other components shared with the half ton titan. It can actually do quite a bit of work. It can run a full size plow and does have a standard gooseneck hitch although towing maxes out around 12k
Thanks...so u recommend it?
@@Dirtmonkey Yes I would recommend it. It is a very confident/capable half ton as long as you do not expect it to do all the work of a 3/4 ton. Best truck warranty too 5 year/100,000 miles. There is speculation though that it may go out of production in the next few years due to poor sales. JD from Big truck Big RV has a good walk around here ruclips.net/video/_Pdyl5TP5os/видео.html
Steel green manufacturing makes a snow plow that attaches to the front of their fertilizer spreader now you should check it out . Turns a summer rig into a year round machine like you were saying .
We’ve got one on our z spray and it’s a very productive sidewalk machine.
Very cool!
We have a Bobcat MT-85 and a Vermeer CTX-160 and both have pilot controls and tracks like a full size skid loader and they’re much easier to use than the one you’re running Stan. They’re barely at the shop, since they’re so popular among the crews. Highly recommend picking up a mini skid
Sounds like a good recommendation
@@Dirtmonkey Thanks! Keep up the good work, Stan! Love the vids
Holy crap! Those worky jerky quads are a bundle of loot!! I can't see that price not by a long shot.
What is the price on it ?
Nice little tool
I think so too!
Relatively new to this channel but I love it. Stan, how many pieces of equipment to you own/lease for your year round operation? Are they all stored at your farm? Or do you have a large shed/lot somewhere else?
Great demo Stan, I'm in the market for a stand on mini skid steer track machine. I'm looking at Ditch Witch Sk1050 Kubota SCL 1000 and Vermeer 925 as an all-around multi purpose machine at can do just about anything with the right attachment. Would be great to see you do a review on this style of machine. Thank you for doing youtube videos 👍👍keep up the good work and God bless you!
Nice...keep checking things out...smart👍
I think the ditch witch or the Vermeer are great choices. What attachments that are available is something to definitely check as well.
Hope you had a good Thanksgiving! Busy doing home improvement so I'm watching this a little too late.
Thank you! You too!
@@Dirtmonkey you mentioned wood chips, I got a 55 gallon drum filled with wood chips from my last chipping session. Currently getting "seasoned", gonna burn nice though.
that thing looks like it might be great for making hiking trails, single track mountain biking trails and stuff like that.
Probably would!
Put a tooth bucket on it and it'd be perfect for that. I'm intrigued by the possibility of using a mini skid-steer in underground mining, as some modern mines intersect old workings that larger equipment won't fit in.
or dirt jumps ;)
Way handy little power tools. Paint them to look like a Milwaukee "Fuel" hand tool!
Very small unit but it has its uses. Might work well for for mulch jobs. Add a wind shield and i bet that would do a great job on sidewalk snow jobs..
Great point!
In Australia where this type of machine was created it is called a dingo and they are a great little machine with loads of different attachments from tranches, 4 way buckets, cement mixes, forklift, rippers, ect. Anyone can use them
Ive got the concrete grapple for it. Its a handy machine
Toro makes these also and they are called dingos. We have an older one that has tires but also have a set of tracks that go over the wheels. We took a plow from a grasshopper zero turn, made a bracket of it to attach to the skid steer style hook up and use that for sidewalks.
the ditch witch sk 800 is similar to the worky quad, but bigger, joystick controls, and on tracks insted of wheels. When we had our retaining wall replaced and yard re graded, that's what the guys used, i;ll love to see you do a review on it
Thanks...love ur idea's, keep them coming😉
We bought a Ditch Witch sk600 the level just under the sk800 The ditch witchs are a far superior machine compared to this. sk600 has a 25hp Kubota diesel, tracks and very strong hydraulics and it is fast. We use it almost every day and we have a jackhammer attachment as well, (we are in the concrete business) the jack hammer breaks ANYTHING we have thrown at it. It's a Wonderful machine for getting into back yards I would highly recommend them for a professionals like myself.
Yes their super nice
very good
Nice one👍
Thanks ✌️
I bought a mustang skid steer from them this year, it's awesome in the snow! You should check out their self tensioning track system.
I didn't know they had that.
@@Dirtmonkey no more grease to tension it, instead there is a hydraulic ram that maintains the tension. When you turn off the machine it lets off the tension so your tracks arn't constantly under stress when you arn't using it.
I think the new F-150 Hybrid will be a good option for a work truck with the 20A 120V and 240v ~7k watt outlets.
Good input...thanks!
Those mustang skid steers are amazing definitely demo one if you can
will try...thanks
I learned how to operate on dinosaur mustang. Had the old t handle. They are great machines. Last I understood they are owned by Gehl now. Don’t quote me on that tho.
I like to see what it does with a set of the grapples on it picking up brush from like a tree trimming job
I used it for picking through scrap metal in the woods on my first hoarders video I did back in September.
Our toro dingo is the same, really takes some practice to run it smooth
Right!?!
Toro dingo has a 4 wheel very similar to that for the last 10 years
"Wish I had a long box" he says while the work truck sits behind him. lol
Well that truck has the fifth wheel system for the pull plow so you can’t really slide pallets unfortunately
@@Chris-gk9ng yeah I know I was just poking fun.
@@Chris-gk9ng pallets will slide over reese rails no problem. A friend has 2500hd gmc he used to get a skid of 5 gallon cartons of damaged ice cream from his work every year ruffly. And if you still have problems you could take some sort of stiff mat/plywood and set over the rails first
Nice pfp
@@tj_the_sloth 😊
this machine is very good
work for a hardscapes company and we mostly use the bobcat mt85 just because it can get in tight spots. i works pretty good
I've heard good things about those.
I wish more of the smaller skid-steers were diesel, maybe with something like a Deutz F2L511. Gas engines make them a non-starter for use in underground mines for both safety and regulatory reasons. Something else I'd like to see is cost-effective remote control options for them.
Interesting that your dealer has multiple site dumpers. Those haven't gotten much traction in the US; it will be interesting to see if that changes.
They're used all over large cities. They built several 20+story buildings in Tampa and those things were buzzing all over. I see them a lot in Boston too.
Have a great Thanksgiving .... and stay safe.
all those nice machines just sitting outside :(
@Chyna Mane Part of the reason the next thing I buy must be small enough to fit in the garage.
Toro dingo same as that equipment but they also have one on tracks. The tracks actually make for a smoother ride
You got to do a snow removal video with this.
So Right!
we have some bobcat mini loaders and we work them very hard. If you buy one just make sure its well built
agreed
You mentioned the Tesla truck. Pulling a trailer, the power will but phenomenal. But I think I learned in my years of working with battery powered equipment in a warehouse. The more of a load you put on the battery, the faster you drain the batteries. Any time you have to climb a grade will also drain the batteries. Temperatures are a huge factor with batteries in equipment, the colder the temperatures the faster the batteries will drain. And they take longer to charge in colder temperatures too. Speaking of charging, the batteries will take 8 to 12 hours to fully charge. If you short charge the batteries, it will dramatically shorten the life of the batteries. A word of caution, if a battery powered vehicle get in a accident. Batteries have a tendency to explode. These are some things that I learned being a forklift mechanic
Those XBox skills will finally be useful in real life for me LOL
Ironically he actually hires only gamers to operate these machines for his company
I have two regular Titans and thought about trying out the diesel. I have weighed out the rock qaury with the standard ones I have weighing 26 k total pounds. I pull equipment and dump trailers on a regular bases and really like my Titans. Only down fall is the gas ones have sucky fuel mileage but has the strength to do a lot more than your normal f150 or such. Plus DOT leaves us alone with our trucks, and yet we pull more than most them other bigger trucks.
I just traded my 2016 Nissan Titan Diesel. I would say stay away from that diesel. There are some issues and it is not as good on fuel as the Ram 6.7. The Titan is a "tweener truck". It is between a half ton and 3/4 ton. Amazing brakes. Gas engine is fairly reliable. Seats are amazing...the HD version has a different frame and larger brakes, axles etc. If I bought another, I would get the gas. They have discontinued the diesel. Hope that helps ya Stan!
I like the wheels on a WorkyQuad but I despise those controls. Toro really has the controls down much better on their new Dingos. The reason I don’t like the forward/backward lever control with handles to rest your palms is it makes it hard to use the loader while also moving the machine at the same time, whereas Toro Dingo one hand is for steering and the other is for the loader so you can run the loader arms while also moving the machine. But to my knowledge the Dingo only offers tracked machines. Overall they’re about the same size and you can use the Toro Dingo year round as well.
I have 2014 Boxer 322D
Has the two drive levers , two outside levers boom and bucket. Point being yes it took me 4 ,5 hundred hours to perfect the machine.
It's like a stick shift truck , nobody can borrow it 😃
are you telling us you missed the skunk story on video? :) man what a video that would have been! haha
does this have any kind of pitch on it and enough HP to do a little digging? im only talking about 1/2 foot to a foot or grass / dirt
Solid.
I want to see your Worky Quad in of your snowplowing videos. That will be the test.
I own a Titan xd diesel with platnium package. Platnium has 20 inch wheels. I tow a fith wheel toyhauler and Ive worked mine as well. The XD is a full box frame its considered a 5/8 truck. Fits nice in parking spaces.
Why on earth is there no hip padding?
Diamondback cover holds over 1,500 lbs I love mine on a 150 w/ 8’ bed
Sweet!
You should do a review on the new 2020 jcb 1CXT backhoe loader
Pretty dope
You used this thing in large areas where a regular Bobcat would be the tool of choice. You should do a video of it in tight spots where you cant fit heavy equipment. That is where this would really shine.
Think I know how the drive system on that loader works they have a fixed displacement pump on the motor and a fixed displacement motor on each side. Basically it is the cheap way to make a skid steer. Instead of the right way. The right way would be 3 pumps on the motor 2 variable displacement and one fixed. Like any heavy skid steer has.
I don't know how its set up -sorry
Wondering if you could turn down the flow on the hydraulics a touch? Make it a little slower but more controllable?
I used to sell Nissan, the XD Titan is a heavy 1/2 ton. They have a 5.0 availible Cummins diesel V8 or the standard 5.7 L gas. They also have a non XD regular 1/2 ton.
are they good trucks???
I wouldn't recommend getting the diesel, we would always have major issues getting the started in the winter. (I live a few hours east of you in northern WI, I do snow removal, tree removal, landscaping) Granted those were 2017/18 models so maybe they have improved, otherwise they are awesome! The gas engine has been around for alot of years and is tried and true.
Also at the time boss nor western had figured a plow mount for either truck. I believe I saw a Titan last year with a boss plow, but who knows if the guy made his own mount or not?!?!
Thanks. Have a good day.
All these new tires that come on new machines never seal correctly on the rim bead. Gotta pour slime or the like right off the bat. Not a huge deal, just remember this before you send it
I have a 2019 Nissan Frontier SV. (I mainly mow). The frontier can do as much as a 1500 could do ten years ago. It tows 6,100, and I have a 7’2 plow on it. I would definitely like to try that new Titan XD though!
And I am regretting getting a short bed!
We have used similar ones work ok on flat ground any mud and your done. WNR.
Love this machine The one we use here in NY our one has tracks We recommend that... cool video better
Thanks for the tip!
Stan doesn’t look like you ran it to bad for the third time you ran it I have a tracked boxer it’s like riding a bull in a rodeo over ruff terrain. Your back and muscles feel it by the end of the day. As for snow the tracks make it useless to light slides around might be ok if it had a v plow. Looking at a s70 bobcat inclosed cab with heat for sidewalks.
Good piece of equipment. Let me know how that goes for u👍
Honda engines seem to always fire right up. I have never had issues with them. .....so far🤣
Nice!
Sure beats a shovel and a wheel barrow. Reminds me of John deere gator tires (always flat after a couple days) I could see if it can run a broom and grapple then it could be an awesome machine.
it does run a broom and a grapple.
So funny I drive by this dealer every day and see that little red tree lift every day
