He's Trying To Change My Mind About This!

What happens here

The larger Cast 40XD model is introduced, emphasizing its greater horsepower and robust design. Despite its size, it maintains turf integrity thanks to its advanced all-wheel steer system, which mechanically turns all four wheels, preventing ground tearing during maneuvers. The cab-forward design provides excellent visibility for precision tasks, essential when working near established plantings or delicate garden features. It features an enclosed cab with air conditioning for operator comfort, a single speed, and an electronic throttle. A crucial point is the discussion of its 'tippy' nature when carrying heavy loads, especially on uneven terrain, underscoring the need for careful operation and common sense to avoid accidents. This safety tip is vital for eco-gardening, where unstable loads could damage valuable flora or fauna.

Goal: Discover the unique features and operational advantages of the larger Cast 40XD, including its all-wheel steer, enclosed cab, and the importance of operator awareness for stability.

I'm just pointing out the absolute difference I know I mean you're you're selling me on having one of these so it's I I own a ventrac and the ventrac is an articulating tractor and it'll go around stuff just like that and not destroy this will this will outwork a ventrac any day of the week except it will not handle as many attachments as a ventrac will dedicated like ventrac that's the problem is it's if you have a ventrac you get a ventrac attachment yeah yeah okay where you have this if you have the skid steer attachment plate or a mini attachment any attachment will work on it with the second Hydra flow this these guys don't make attachments they use anybody's attachments I don't care who you are if you've got an attachment and it'll fit on US Mini or it'll fit on a skid loader you can hook it up to this sweet so it doesn't have dedicated attachments like ventrac it has all of them it's capable of doing it that's a big difference let's look at this other big guy okay so now we go up now we're going up in Horsepower we're also changing an engine I believe this one has a Yanmar engine so there's some fundamental differences with this one it's a larger unit it has a larger turf tires but this one will actually not damage Turf any more than the smaller one will you think a bigger machine a little more aggressive tread oh we just saw it yeah they compensate for that by using all wheel steer the only mini loader that has all Wheels here and mechanical on top of it so as you're turning the tire players will actually turn themselves so it's not going to turn it let's see can I see it will I get back and forth a little bit like I'll try to yeah I don't know how well it'll it'll point out but let's just see yeah I got you got to close the door okay but you've seen how tight those tires get together and that allows you like I could stand right here and put my hand on this door and you could turn all the way around me without ever leaving that circumference without ripping up the turf some of the fundamentals this is a single speed Josh okay okay so this doesn't give you that range of speed like we're gonna get with the mini loader you've got one it's a one speed Wonder basically at this point okay so as long as you're fine with that that one has a manual throttle this has an electronic throttle this one has a little bit more throttle delay than that one that one's instantaneous so you can feel the linkage hooked up I'm old school I like it I just right um air…
