now we're talking this boom is massive
it's Friday and you know what that means
hey everybody its Ryan welcome back to how Farms work today is day two of skit
scouting so in our previous video I had gone on Fastlane calm and I looked up a
couple of different pieces of machinery that I would be interested in purchasing
being is that I need a skid loader this year so this year I am gonna have to
purchase the skid loader by next fall I'm just kind of scouting around looking
out for what my price range would be see if there's any deals right now and there
is a bobcat s 650 that I think should be priced a little bit higher than it
currently is so I want to go check it out and it's currently priced at $29,500
usually they're priced anywhere between 32 and 34 for the same year and model
with similar hours now we're talking
I almost wonder if that's the one that drive was a little bit of a jog look at
that beast
oh man look at this puppy isn't that just cute here's what Ryan wants and
here's what Ryan can afford all right here's an S 650 she's got a
few thousand hours on her
this would be the dues and engine
the rust and oh yeah this is the one that I was looking online online it has
the rust spot up front but the rust on this would justify the lower price I
would I would think all in all it doesn't really seem like too bad a unit
I don't know what the price difference is for like a brand new one not saying
I'd consider a brand new skid loader but isn't there supposed to be a key on
these things about oh here she comes to life
so listens got four hundred and seventy four hours on her and she is pretty
rusty in some places 475 I can't remember if that's the one this looks
like the one that I was looking at online I'm not totally for sure though
rated operating capacity two thousand six hundred ninety pounds can we get a
whopper alright yeah it seems alright I don't know I need to go back to my phone
and look and see what else they have from their inventory I don't know if
those are new units and they only have used on their website but they have a
lot more units here than what they had listed so I'm gonna go back to the phone
check it out a little bit
never using dollar or wily gift card don't risk your safety for gossip or
visibility get all your blades at guaranteed low prices arise for places
every day turn it down east or for the turn oh okay well
O'Reilly just got a free advertisement on me I wonder why that doesn't work
all right well I guess we'll never know the rear ends not as rusty as I thought
it was I think that was just the picture but there's definitely some rust even
down here
she needs a bath wonder if the buckets included now a few things to watch out
for when purchasing us kids here when I was at the Scott auction I noticed a
couple things on those skid loaders that I had seen you got to watch out for
stuff like leaks you gotta watch for hoses that might be rubbed through pins
and bushings that are wore if you can get a demonstration of one of these
things on lot which I don't think I'm gonna be able to do because they're
pretty well closing if you can check to make sure there isn't a play in the
bucket you want to make sure that it drives good there isn't a play when you
go to steer I've been in a skid steer that had a lot of play in it before and
those aren't a lot of fun to drive another thing to watch out for is hoses
that are rusted
you don't want your lines to be in too bad of shape like the ones you're seeing
but depending on what they use it for I mean the you want to look for signs of
heavy usage in a short amount of time okay so you want a unit that is well
taken care of this thing has a lot of rust on it in some spots you never know
what the previous owner had done with it this one shows signs of pretty heavy
usage a short amount of time just from all the rust stains and bolts that are
rusted on it got some rust there under the cab even hopefully they didn't spend
too much time lifting that cab but it's just a few things be cautious about
well I've seen what I needed to see I'm not any more serious about buying it
then I was on my way here but it is actually in better shape than I had
thought it was so overall for me I would rate this one a me
I think this is the one with the 3,000 or so hours on it they want 25 grand for
she's got a key
we're waiting 3,300 hours and they want 25 grand for it tell you what if I'm
gonna paying 325 grand for a 3,300 our unit I might as well just go buy $20,000
you ending up with $3,000 on it this one's got about the same amount of rusts
and it's definitely showing use okay let's not do that again
so now here's one of their brand new S 5 70s
smells fresh this is in the new s 570 I would assume this has the newer drusy
that dews and motor in it and wait for the glow plugs to finish firing up
systems got seven hours on it this would be in similar size in comparison to the
773 that we have now similar lift capacity and I'm sure this is out of my
price range but I just kind of want to hop wanted to happen one of the new ones
and see what the prices were like I'm gonna do a few laps around the yard and
see what they have out here okay okay I'll get out have a look at
the deer so I think this one was listed for like 38,000 it should be it's pretty
well new we got
yeah it's obviously not a real heavily used unit now we're talking
like I said 38,000 is way out of my price range I still want to find that
Kubota hopefully it's here
now we're talking
speaking of trailers this is where my steel trailer came from it'll be time to
update that someday as well right now it's getting us by and that's
what's most important as long as it's serving serving the
function that we need it to it's good enough for me
unfortunately I don't think we're gonna find that Kubota that does look like a
telescope though so here's what I meant about the Telus kid they have the
extending boom this one looks like it's new
I don't really have much to say about JCB I don't really know that much about
him yet I have been reading up on them and people have said that they're pretty
reliable units and that the Telus kid is the bee's knees
mmm it's pretty easy to get into
handy-dandy
this thing has incredible visibility Wow it's pretty spacious now when I first
saw the one boom design the JCB makes I did have some concerns I'll be honest I
had worried that the there would be a lot of torque on the back end but I
guess that these things are built sturdy enough on the back end these days where
it's really not an issue I guess early on they had a problem with that
but they realized that it was a problem but this boom is massive so she's even
got a little nice rear view mirror up top this is the first time I've ever
been in a JCB something like this would be really really nice we have a lot of
grassy places that we can not reach well that's enough playing around for now I
guess it was nice being able to see what one of these things is like in person
well I guess I'll just have to keep an eye out unfortunately I didn't see any
real deal that s6 50 I mean I mean for what it was the price was rather
justified like I said it would have been priced around thirty to thirty four
thousand but with all the rust and stuff that's on it I mean
29500 isn't bad but I don't really know if that's in my price range or what I
would be willing to buy so I'll just keep an eye out I have plenty of time
it's not like I'm too hard pressed right now as long as I can make it through the
spring here and this summer should shouldn't be too bad anyway with that
that should be about it for this video thanks for riding along with me thanks
