Hi, my name is Kevin Dotterer.
I'm a salesman with Messick equipment
here at the Abbottstown, Pennsylvania location.
Today, we're going to look at the New Holland L218
Skid Steer Loader.
This machine has many nice features
beginning with the design.
The New Holland has created with the super boom design
gives a vertical lift
that when the lift raises up, it keeps the boom straight,
still tilting back.
Also, the newer design machine,
the New Holland now has
has more visibility.
You can see out the side windows much better.
You have more visibility at the front.
The entrance into the cab
is lower so that you can see inside better.
This particular machine has a cab enclosure,
has the heat and air-conditioning option on it.
Other option that you can get with this skid loader include
a single or two-speed transmission.
With the single- and two-speed, you can get the hand controls
for forward and backward motion, with the feet control
for the lifting up and tilting of the bucket.
Another option is the pilot controls.
Pilot controls allow the operator to use a joystick control.
The left hand go forward, backward, side to side.
and the right hand will raise your boom up and down and tilt the bucket
forward and backward.
It's also switchable.
You can change at between that design
as well as what we may call the case controls,
which both levers will go forward and backward.
The left lever can be used to raise the boom up and down and the right lever
to tilt the bucket up and down.
This particular machine has
a hydraulic bucket coupler,
which is very handy, especially with the cabin enclosure.
From inside the cab,
you can lock and unlock the bucket or other attachments.
This is particularly handy when you have
several implements that you're taking on and off
on the skid loader during the same day.
You can pull into an implement,
hook up to it.
right from inside the cab,
you can hook and unhook from that without getting out of the cab.
With this newer design machine that New Holland came out with a few years ago,
the cab will flip forward.
Makes it much easier
to work on anything underneath as far as hydraulic lines
or other maintenance equipment to get into.
All you have to do is take two bolts loose
near the back of the cab.
The whole cab flips forward.
Makes everything very easy to access that way.
Around behind the machine,
you'll notice that it's very easy just to lift the lid up,
then this back door opens up.
That way, you can get to everything such as your hydraulic filter,
your fuel filter,
air filter,
radiator,
oil dipstick,
oil fill.
Everything is very accessible from the back of the machine.
It also has the oil cooler up in the lid,
so it gives you more access to things around the engine.
This has a metal rear grate on it
to protect from any damage.
It does have a place that you can put a lock here if you're out on a job site.
You can lock that so no one can get into that area.
This particular machine has the heavier duty
12 x 16.5 tires on it.
That is an option. 10 x 16.5 is standard.
We typically stock the heavier duty beefy baby tires.
They have longer lasting treads than the standard tread is.
The auxiliary hydraulics is standard on this machine.
It also has a case drain.
If you're using an implement that requires drain
back into the oil sump, that is standard equipment on this machine.
The cab enclosure, as I mentioned, does have
heat and air-conditioning as an option.
This particular one has the leather seat,
also has a drop-down bar.
The drop-down bar can be used
as a safety device.
The same as the older case skid loaders have always had.
New Holland now has that as an option.
Still has the seat belt.
The radio is standard equipment on these machines.
The side windows will slide open and close.
They have halogen lights on the front and rear,
so you have plenty of bright light
as well as flashers.
This particular one also has the beacon light on top.
There's a variety of buckets,
other attachments that you can put on the front.
This is a light material bucket
with a bolt on cutting edge.
You can get a variety of low-profile buckets,
standard material, light material
as well as all kinds of other implements, grapples, etcetera.
That's the New Holland L218 Skid Steer Loader.
