three two one let's go [Music] all right you guys we're off to con Expo where we're gonna be touring the entire show and looking for the absolute coolest heavy equipment that we can find today's video is sponsored by a SV and they've got a brand new machine coming out called the RT 50 and the RT 50 is like that perfect landscaper size machine it's not too big to get into tight sites but it's not too small that it can't accomplish something and it's something I'm actually thinking about buying myself so we're gonna take a closer look at that along with all of the other cool equipment that we can find at Con Expo so let's dive right into things with the track design and I think we need to point out yeah so the undercarriage is really a shrunken version of our very successful s VL undercarriage what makes this different from everyone else we have the 9.8 inch wide tracks and yet the entire machine will fit through a 36 inch gate for opening so the machine didn't widen out but we were able to widen out the tracks yeah take the widest possible traction teach me through the muddiest conditions look without sinking down but now is this pure Kubota or I'll build this we disagree so this is 100 cent designed and built by Kubota it's actually in a new facility we have down the Kansas City you're actually Abilene so I asked John a very point-blank question this looks like it's just going up against the Toro dingo or a ditch which what makes this better so how does it outperform it we have a higher lift in a hinge pin height so we can dump into a higher trailer because it's a vertical lift linkage we can dump the further into the trailer travel speed fastest in the industry 5.1 miles an hour not only forwards but in Reverse where some competitors limit travel speed in Reverse so that cycle time of going to the trailer for load mulch getting in the yard we will get it done quicker [Music] here's a sneak peek and one that I'm working on currently it should be coming out within the next two to four weeks so make sure you guys subscribe and come back I think this was probably one of the coolest demonstrations at all of con Expo and I'm going to be bringing it to you from start to finish so look for that one coming pretty soon [Music] but we still got more cool equipment coming up like this very next one check this one out you guys all right guys this is actually a dressed-up bulldozer let's take a walk around it real quick and then we'll do a tale of the tape for you so this was prior to the opening of ConExpo and nobody was around to ask any questions but the next day I met the engineer this isn't working this is a prototype I can't take the working prototype all I know it's a working prototype so at this point that's the most information I know but I later learned on that this won multiple awards for this design so let's take a look at it we've got 170 horsepower 2000 rpm automatic infinitely variable dual path hydrostatic transmission 6.2 miles per hour comes in at 42,000 90 pounds and this is where the most awards were won the view from this cab is amazing so you guys tell me in the comments down below would you like to see the interview I did with the engineer that actually designed this bulldozer I actually stumbled across in while he was cracking open a beer in celebration cuz he just won the award for it alright next you guys let's go check out the RT 50 this is a new skid loader that's coming out by a SV and I'm actually pretty excited about this one I think it's the perfect size at least for myself right here one of the first things you may see is that as I'm standing next to it it's a midsize compact machine so we wanted to go with the machine that was from the weekend warrior who is out there but also provide a machine that had enough grunt to help somebody who was in commercial residential site development something like that so at fifty three hundred and fifty pounds on a fourteen hundred pound rated operating capacity now this is the same chassis and frame is the party for deal yeah that's correct so what you'll see is you've got a lot of commonality in the chassis what that means for the customer or the dealers is there's a lot of parts that are interchangeable but at the same time you've got a larger track base which is really where we're gonna get some of that performance improvement that you get as you step up in a higher operating pass there's a track wider and longer or what's the difference between the track and this one of them yeah so this does have a wider track so what you see here this is going to be a 15 inch track whereas that one over there is going to be more in the 12 inch track range but at the same time you're also getting more ground clearance what is this been covered by so this has got a 49 horsepower Kubota and/or 50 horsepower Kubota then as you move through the lineup we've also got perkins we've got Deutz and then we've got coming here also if you look at the engine compartment this has got a three side engine access engine compartment so something that's neat you can actually take this it's got clips here you can unclip it swing this shroud down to almost 90 degrees and then you can even clean your coolers and everything from standing behind it one thing worth noting this does run a 60-inch wide track base so what we're learning is things go along as Real Estate's increasingly at a premium right job sites are getting smaller residential commercial doesn't matter so this gives you a machine that can still fit into tight spaces but at the same time get work done that you may see from midsize to larger class machines and at the same time isn't a heavier product so it's easier to transport get on and off your trailer and burns less fuel so next let's jump over and meet Marc and check out the hut ik the purpose of this machine is to actually split this up so you actually have a multi-purpose payloader versus a backhoe typical backhoes you're only your limited is kind of what you could do off the front end of them and you're limited to what you can do off the back end this takes a normal style backhoe and kind of wraps it up a little bit the heart of this beast is being able to run hydraulic attachments and a high rate of speed so this particular forestry head that runs off of it is around 40 gallons a minute to run this this machine can run this all day long no problems no what we're eating no issues from that matter to the front you have a we could say kind of like a 930 size wheel we loader seismic machine the rear you have more along the lines of a 311 excavator size four boom what's up with the bucket yeah so this is a full man lift that's also associated with the 45 foot man lift that goes with the machine this machine actually it's a figure so that you can use it for both a man in the basket in with somebody operating in the basket operating the basket from up in the basket travel speeds 23 miles an hour down the track down the road and this is fully articulated so meaning what that means is obviously is it's not only is it articulate like a wheel loader but articulates as well so that as you get down you're seeing your go down into a ditch the whole machine itself is going to bend with you when you go all right you guys well that's this one next up let's check out a handicap-accessible backhoe by case thank you for the overview no problem oh no problem okay so I'm here with Edward you're the product manager for this and this is a handicap-accessible backhoe right that's correct yeah I so walk me through this thing because I've actually never seen a setup like this the other companies even offer something like this no we're the first to bring us to market its accessible chairlifts so anyone that needs better access in and out of the backhoe this machine provides that the lift chair we have here lowers all the way to the ground so you can transition easily from your chair or crutches right into there raise you up towards the cab and swing into the chairs so you're very close to the chair the operators seat in the cab there's a grab handle at the top and the caps you can easily transition in there right now this machine is operational right now yes I think this is a phenomenal idea I think this is I mean I love stuff like this you can turn it in until the light comes on so you clear the tank lower the seat all the way down to an easy level or the person can transition into the lift chair we'll lower the seat down the person can transition over they'll buckle the seat belt right here put that armrest down and then we can raise them up then we can turn the chair all the way into the cab of the machine [Music] this allows operators of any ability to be able to get inside the cabin or an operator once they're in that operators seat we have a handbrake attached to the brakes of the machine so they can operate the brakes with that handle and we also have available a hand throttle so it's a wristband that goes around your wrist and has a handheld throttle like you'd see on a four-wheeler or dirt bike so once they're in that cab they can use all of the controls with just their hands they can use the accelerator and the brake pedal at the same time all right you guys what was your favorite one today now we've got a part two to this video coming out so make sure you guys stick around to see some more cool stuff and in fact in the next part we go into the case booth where I think I rattle the guys cage pretty bad in fact after I do the interview with this guy on the part 2 video the managerial staff came up to me and started questioning me so that one gets a little bit interesting but make sure you guys subscribe and stick around for that one and I'm gonna let you go today hope you guys are staying safe god bless and go get them you guys I'm gonna pop up a couple videos right here see you on the next one
