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

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The reviewer elaborates on the Terex PT-50's performance, particularly its power. Despite being rated at 50 horsepower, placing it in the mid-size category, the 'perceived power to the tracks is far less.' He humorously suggests he would prefer taking a toy truck to a job site over the Terex due to its inability to handle basic tasks like backing up a 2-to-1 slope without a load without stalling. A visual metaphor of a turtle stuck on its back is used to emphasize the machine's struggle and lack of capability.

Goal: Detail the machine's inadequate power and poor operational performance, even for basic tasks.

What they say

the t-rex PT 50 is meant to be a midsize tracked skid loader but that's where the comparison to other skid loaders ends so the first thing you're going to notice when you crawl into the cab of a t-rex PT 50 is the power or the lack thereof great it 250 horsepower putting it right in the middle of the pack of mid-sized skid loaders but the perceived power to the tracks is far less in fact I would feel more comfortable taking one of these bad boys out of my job site then I would the t-rex actually I do have to give credit to Tareq's it's the first machine that I've ever ran that could get itself stuck not even working just backing up a two to one slope without a load on this machine would stall out due to lack of power good job I know what you're thinking and yes it was brought into the shop and checked out there's so many flaws in the design
