one thing we are good at is breaking things ow wow that that like actually hits you in the head wow everything's easy that's what she [Music] said morning good evening good afternoon 1 and all Zach and I are off to top-notch equipment we're going to be testing out some new loaders today but I want to show you something yeah my experience with Bambi twice oh you hit some deer why do you think in I have it patched like that what the this is do approved this is a do approved patch if if if if it was my other van the blues would match so when did you hit the Deer uh that uh that Monday or whatever when I went and did all that the fueling and all that stuff when it was super cold right before Christmas yeah came coming home back home from her family or whatever smoked one and then 5 minutes from home another one came running across the road and took everything else out you know deer are actually listed as one of the top animals that killed the most people did you know that yeah cuz they run out in front of the cars yes that is exactly it Hipp us uh crocodiles Sharks Only kill 22 people a year what do you think the most dangerous animal on the planet is the most dangerous I'll give you the number one and two you guys guess two the most dangerous I'd say would be maybe like a dog or something dogs were actually on the list of the top 10 but they were like seven or something like that so the most Dain the second what do you think I'll tell you what the second most dangerous animal on the planet is humans humans on on average kill 425,000 people per year this is just an average stat so humans are the second most dangerous you'll never guess what the first one is bees wow that's a damn good guess mosquitoes mosquitoes kill over 700,000 people per year because of the diseases they transmit oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yep um so there we go I bet you didn't know that all right let's go up to topnotch equipment and let's go test out some new loaders guys this is Dustin he is the owner of topnotch and uh hey I'm Brian I was just watching your video last night actually nice nice to meet you nice to meet you too he's buying a uh Nifty lift yeah oh hey Ryan do you know that I used to have a deal worked out with these guys where if you said dirt monkey he got a discount on all of the equipment they sold [Applause] great yes I got to step outside I just lost signal oh no there we go that's awesome now I think I got a signal that's way better thanks appreciate it uh the swing steers yeah now you guys are one of the few that are actually selling this and this is a really unique machine yeah very unique it's one of those things where I saw it and I'm like oh this is this is something cool it's going to take a while to for people to catch on but I think over time it's going to be a good a good uh option yeah 100% how is the so a swing steer is think Carry's going to pull one out how is it on S Hill stability very good is it yep a lot of we posted a video and people are like oh that thing's going to tip over great like I could just look at it and spin a tip over I'm like okay so let's make a video and we just I put a grabbed a bucket with uh put a bucket of dirt in it and I kind of side hilled this Steep Hill went all around up and down and yeah yeah so it handled pretty good what um what's your two cents on how they're built and where are they built do you know all right they're built in North Dakota okay and yep the guy that designed them was an engineer for Case IH um and the other guy that partnered with them was one of the uh owners or partners of uh tipan Machinery oh that's right I can't hear that okay what about tipping not side to side but front front end and back end TI front end the back end is 2,000 lb but articulation when you're fully articulated it's 1,500 lb perfect yeah, 1500 so um after this warmed up carry will you give us a demo of it just so that these guys can kind of see it's very unique I'll get to warm up a little bit yeah it's a little cold it runs up a 38 horsepower colar engine the guys that make the sinks colar they make the sinks and faucets oh yeah yep those col yep yep how do you go from sinks and faets to engines or vice versa engines to sinks and doing what you know put put your Faucets in but I actually have uh my multiforce has a colar engine in it and that's thing start up at any temperature right yeah I've never had an issue with that I'm like I got to give them a little bit more respect CU I always threw them on yeah one thing about these guys too is we could prob show you on one that doesn't have an attachment so they make their own plate for mounting their own attachments but you put two slides on the top of the of their attachment and it turns it in so you can use regular like skid steer attachments oh good yeah cuz I was going to say if they make their own proprietary attachments and it's not Universal get rid of it yeah their idea was they don't want anybody and if you guys are wondering why I have a camera in front of my face it's because I started to shoot some of these videos live raw unedited and taking you guys along for the ride letting you see absolutely everything I see but that also requires me to have a camera stuck in my face so uh if you guys want the long versions just look for my live versions I'm going to start to do these more often for you guys so that you can just get it straight the way I got it it's like drinking raw milk instead of having it Ultra pasturized and Ultra filtered you can go to my channel and also get the raw version so this runs off from a colar gas powered engine it's not diesel powered and the company making these has actually been in the heavy equipment industry for many decades so this is the the founders of this company are not new to heavy equipment operation design building or manufacturing but this design is absolutely new and unlike anything that I personally have ever witnessed before so it's definitely worth giving them a test run and finding out if this could be right for you before you go and pull the trigger on something like this but I also feel that it's worth the investigation all right here your steering wheel forward and then pedal down here pedal reverse forwards a steering wheel here all right let's go for a test drive yeah you got to release the steering wheel to go back up otherwise it will not do it filter controls right there looks like wheel spacers I don't know if you can see that or not there's youres give me that YouTube camera I want to film this yep wow push button start okay and press to operate when you got your lap arm bars up yep for fat guys broke in the middle for f guys so there's your press to operate now this is neat so put your look at the screen okay soon as you pull back on the joystick the backup camera automatically comes on your screen reverts to the camera nice visibility is good too yeah they really visible all the way around throttles [Music] here what is this uh that's the easy manager I I can read that har so that's going to be a different code this one it's not turned on okay so the machines will have one code that you could set okay and and that you enter through this when it comes up okay when you activate easy manager yeah which this one's equipped with uhhuh you can have up to 10 separate codes for 10 operators for 10 operators and then it'll give you a report on hours and on the telematics it will give you a report on if he's 11111 Zach started the machine at 10:00 at night oh Zach shut the machine off at midnight oh for man if you're 1 2 3 4 Stan got in there at 2:00 in the morning yeah and ran till 600 oh that's beautiful and that's that's going to be on an app on your phone okay but this easy manager it's a manitu thing so it's not just is it it's telematics is it but is it a is it a manitu thing or is this an aftermarket thing that's a it's a manit toe thing but it's probably made by an aftermarket company supplier four okay so but is this could this be on all of the loaders not just skid loaders it's probably the same company that makes the telematics for Bobcat and caterpillar and everybody else okay they just all name them different things okay but that that's an option for if you've got like the snow guys like it cuz they can give you a code him a code right and then if you happen to fire a guy or he quits you can log right into your phone into that guy and hit dis disable his code yeah so if he goes and try and steal your machine in the middle of the night his code doesn't work in bad guys do that so Manito has a fold down windshield meaning it actually has a fold it's an overhead windshield well it's not a windshield it's a door it's a fold down door so the door actually has that crack that's what you see 24 hours a day 7 days a week while you're running it you guys let me know what you think of that just say no to crack or are you good with crack you let me know so whether you like crack or not here's a different question does it concern any of you guys that maybe you could get a little tiny Rock in between that crack and when you go to slam that door down instead of the two pieces of glass coming together it's coming together on a rock which could create an issue I don't know it was brought up to me on a different video and I'm like that's a good point all right so you're not a fan of the crack no not the crack and when here went to drop it it like dropped right on my head it's like if you're not if you're not paying attention that sticks way out into the cabin and when it's coming down instead of like the kotas where it's a roll up so at least you know it's up above your head and then you're going to come down in front of you not right in your face basically yeah but you know what somebody's got to be the first person to try something new oh I know you know when it boils right down to it somebody's got to be the one that goes hey let's do this and see what the audience what the what the response to it is well one of the other things they did is is the cab is glass is tilted okay so that it's not FL so you don't get all that ice build up right here when you're plowing so you're saying the whole Cab Top is tilted you jump up on the track you'll see it oh yeah all right so it sloped back and then it sloped forward so you don't get that buildup so as your machine sits there's a relief valve once you shut the engine off and as soon as you turn the engine back on they're self tensioning and they'll come back on right now I'm manually over ring it again if you watch this button watch tracks so get uh wow that is that that saves tons of time of greasing and and grease everywhere and it keeps your tracks at the proper tension all the time so you don't have to lose tracks or overtighten tracks so you're not stretching your tracks decreasing their life yeah according to Man 2 that adds 25 to 30% track life with the self tensioning system so the self tensioning system according to Manito will add 25 to 30% more track life because it's never loose it's never loose and it's never too tight yeah that makes sense that makes sense and it goes as soon as you shut the machine off Zach got it earlier we shut this machine off once it's not under pressure there's a relief belt these tracks will actually go slack overnight so you're not stretching your tracks so they're not if the machine's not running the tracks are not under tension that right there is probably one of the best track patterns out there I think ASV has probably the best track pattern because their entire undercarriage was designed by stob manufacturer uh but the tracks themselves are huge for your absolute performance of of a machine let's go to the back end here real quick okay then real quick got talk louder here these guys so if you take this out yep that's your stop so when you go to have to change the tracks on these you come to the back [Music] look at that so when you take that stop out that front wheel actually comes much further back what is the benefit of that you have to change your tracks my guys can do a whole set of tracks in about 30 to 40 minutes Alex can do less right wow you might get the grease bled out of them than that but there's no grease they it sucks back guys in the shop did you just say that Manito sucks suck all right so there you go he just hit the magic button any tracks just tighten up the new ones everything is very easy access filter over yeah to an extent but that's every machine it's good enough to get a wrench in there if you have to right just like all the other M must G in the past our engine Ming this way pumps directly m to the engine kabot engine uh Yanmar Yanmar okay Yanmar and our pumps are direct mounted like the transmission is on the TP your engine there's no belt there's no gear literally direct the crank and no power loss from a belt what are we looking oh yeah had anybody P one of them pretty pretty it's not it's not like it's plastic not plastic that's metal I'm sure someone will find away maybe I just need to get better operators and don't bang up my back doors hey that wasn't me I know so are the lights on the back supposed to look pissed off here or to deal with that so Manito has revamped their design and they've taken it the side pillars down so that you have much better visibility and I have had a chance through Harry and topnotch equipment to test out a Manito and they are phenomenal machines so well balanced very responsive as much as I may not like that Overhead Door the rest of the machine is phenomenal and that overhead door is just an option it's not mandatory you can get it without that door you can get a different door fourways true fourways which is actually pretty cool [Music] w I am not running in full snow gear in booths at 14° weather she survived yeah she survived good deal yeah did we scrape it just the top of the camera I I I figured I after like you were that close coming up to I'm like oh crap that pumpkin's going to HP but you I think you cleared it and then it just went like that so you got the whole under camage nice all right well you want to hop in and give her a test run yeah all right right here is your brake yeah your emergency brake emergency brake you've got three speeds single speed and then two speeds here's your throttle here yeah here's your forward and revers is on the stick right there yep Mount the camera up there and let these guys go for a ride to what's the price on that one uh that one is right around is that a s thought it was six yeah you're prob right uh right around 95 95 you know what the warranty is on it uh 1 year $1,000 standard uh um if you got a trade in they'll give you an extra an extra year um I believe it's a threeyear inurance mar oh okay that's not too bad yeah why why why do you like this one everything's easy that's what she said pumps are online your motor's right there you know as far as Serv access accessibility it's got live hydraulic pilot control just like the SK Motors okay so there's no electric over it's just you're right on it [Music] okay but that's all there is to it for service ACC you can get at everything then yep it's all right there now you said good things about the skag in general like you went to the factory and the owner knew everybody I mean to me that's kind of a huge thing oh yeah for sure so yeah tell me about your visit with the skag Factory would you Harry no I mean I'm not worried about what they did for you guys I mean how are they with their employees and they their own people with their own people they're they're uh awesome So Randy the owner of skag and okay of paraphrasing I was talking to him at a skag event I go to a lot of the races with them with C Racing okay at danry drag races and uh he got upset with the health insurance companies and what they did yeah so he basically created uh his own in-house healthc care system for all his employes really huh but I mean just stuff like that it's like that goes a long way that goes a long way man it's all about how you treat your people you know we're all coming to the end of this race at some point so we got to uh I say while we're in it we got to treat everybody [Music] I don't think it would be very good on I don't think the skag would be good look at the trash those are dirt trap all day and night I don't think it would be good on slow and Ice long tracks could be got to switch them up all right go backwards go go backwards and turn go back it is this is a twom man yep two man up to uh 450 lb do it have foam fil tires Dustin uh not this one you can foam them they say don't fo them them all though cuz it gets it really heats up the Hydraulics cuz you're put I mean those those tires foam with why would you want to foam tires on a Nifty lift better balance so when you're up higher stability more yeah well not necessarily uh cuz when you're flying it anyways you got the downriggers and the wheels off anyways right yep y but you know it depends on what kind of you're working in construction and you're hitting nails or uh oh okay okay little little bit of stability it's just so it is just a puncture proof thing but I wouldn't think that'd be a big deal if tree guys are doing it I mean normally you're just going on you know grass right right and I I probably wouldn't you you are going to get a little stability for like when you're on a side Hill or that type of thing but other than that for going up in the air it has no effect so yeah are we heading up um no cuz it's not working probably need to put the stabilizers down to activate the safety Swit yep you got to get it off the ground okay what do you say you sell the most of Dustin uh there's a good it's probably about the same between a CMC spider lift and these a lot of guys like these because they're a lot quicker uh on the ground and uh Turf friendly okay but guys like the spider lifts because they're uh you can get longer reach uh higher higher height and you can get into tighter spots with them okay and you sell and rent these right sell and rent yeah this is a rental somebody bash them B yeah the basket's $5,700 you're wreck it see the look in his eyes that means he doesn't yeah that's that's the look of oh that hurts that hurts I know that look I know that look just because I I'm assuming we we didn't catch it when the customer dropped it off and we probably didn't charge it for the damage right it can be really expensive cuz there is a lot of risk now are there safety valves cuz these are small hoses with one of these ruptures while we're up there will it automatically lock out or do we get to go for a free ride all free ride there every every cylinder has a locking belt on the cylinder itself the Nifty lift is for treor tree work construction guys will'll use it for like painting and uh buildings um all that kind of changing light bulbs and Christmas doing Christmas lights Christmas lights y lots of different reasons to do it now is it supposed to have that bend in that that's another customer damage thing so you pick the most damaged one to send this up in oh that's just the plastic housing dust that yeah right oh that no it is right is that a metal rod yeah yeah that's just a that's a metal rod no that's is that oh yeah maybe it is I'm looking at that curve right there oh left get my hand bre what do you do more of rentals or sales uh these things are constantly rented out uh we have four of these sides that go out almost every single day um this is the only one that's not rented out right now that's a guy that's one that just got traded in uh the only CMC that's a rental is at 75 L okay so we have four cmc's out right now and uh three three Nifty LS what does a unit like this go for for rental for a b this is 5 and a quarter a day and uh smaller the equal comparison CMC is 6.95 okay well hope you guys enjoyed going along for the ride today I had a lot of people on the live stream it's awesome to…
