Review of Terex PT-50 Skid steer for Landscaping, Construction, Forestry, Farming and more

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The reviewer points out several engineering and design flaws in the Terex PT-50, contrasting its build with more robust alternatives like a Bobcat. He specifically criticizes the 'undersized pins and bushings' on the loader arms, arguing that any significant 'twist or torsion' would cause these weak points to 'rip and tear,' leading to major damage. An image of the Terex being lifted out of a trench by an excavator further illustrates its operational failures and the reviewer's desperation to remove it from his job site.

Goal: Highlight critical design and build quality issues that compromise the machine's durability and functionality.

Tools and materials

  • Bobcat Skid Steer Bobcat — Used for comparison to highlight design differences in loader arms and pins
  • Excavator — Shown lifting the Terex PT-50 out of a difficult situation, indicating its lack of self-sufficiency
  • Terex PT-50 Compact Track Loader Terex — The machine being reviewed for its engineering and build quality

out there's so many flaws in the design body and Dracula tariffs be cheap in that I think the engineers miss to bring your kid to work day for let your kids do their work day I'm you two I also discovered that Eric's undersized the pins and bushings on the PT 1535 t return do you not even though this is a bobcat what that means is that if you put any twist or torsion on these loader arms these would be the weak points that would rip and tear causing major damage to the entire machine good job found out I hated this machine so bad that just within three months I would do just about anything to get it off my job sites so I would never have to see it again hey don't get me wrong the rest of Tareq's equipment might be great I'm gonna guess by the time I'm done with this video Tarek's will probably never talk to me again but if they're smart they'll listen but now this may not reflect the rest of the t-rex lineup I have never ran any of the other Tareq's equipment don't lie you're just too afraid to try another one out I
