yeah you think you can do it that's a Tulpa files like 50 feet tall let's do it they could figure given I'll do it if you guys don't want to do it I mean its tracks and you got a bucket you can do it just don't roll over if you do put your seatbelt on the boys from GM Outdoor Services called me out of the blue and said hey Stan we've got a brand new Bobcat T 76 that we're thinking of buy it do you want to come out to our job site and give it a little bit of hack and I said why not and that's all we're gonna do today we're gonna take it to its limit or as close to it as we can [Music] I don't know how far back I don't know how far he and he can go Garrett's I don't want him to get in trouble that way [Applause] so the first thing we're gonna do is put it up against this pile of frozen wet it's pretty much mud at this point just to see if it of cut bite grab and go we'll come back to the hill in a minute we're gonna bounce over to another spot just see how well the Bobcat rides over fairly rough ground [Music] and when you can't drive up it you can always pull yourself up bass-ackwards [Music] if I told you my ASB could do it I know it may be what it has a around the side word ink it and Sun let me keep trying no let's do something else I think I don't I just think that it's a little bit too much for it so is that your slate over there every site or site let's grab some dirt let's see how it does through the deeper mud [Applause] [Music] [Applause] as you guys are listening to the engine work and watching the Machine perform what are you guys thinking [Music] so you can see the machine is struggling with this slope but you can't really tell from this angle what that slope was like so in just about 30 seconds we're gonna go outside of the cabin show you exactly what this machine was trying to climb so right about here I'm going to guess every armchair quarterback that thinks they know how to run a skid loader is screaming at their screen well it would make that slope if you put a bucket of dirt on it and they may or may not be right but that wasn't the goal of this video the goal was to show what this machine can do bare-bones setup taking into consideration the weight and balance the way it's designed right out of the factory the true fact is every time you're on a jobsite and you've got to climb a hill you're not going to be able to go out and grab a bucket of dirt sometimes you got Forks on and you got to go through uneven terrain like this and you just need the machine to perform to its ultimate capabilities that's what we're showing it can and can't do [Music] [Applause] - that means our good - game kept hey honestly didn't feel up out there okay and it looks pretty bad I don't set this this rides way better than our fireman kite and then the roller suspended yeah it goes over the bumps way better does it yeah I think you're bouncing that you're actually bounced around and you're part of developing all of this alright now it's your turn you guys tell me what you think of it in the comments down below and I'm gonna have Garrett do a quick walk around on the machine so you guys can get a few specs on it a bobcat's got cast iron on the front I've never actually see yeah this is just new and I guess these cylinders are a little bit farther back so that you can get better break of course I guess and then also the door comes up like this so you can you got more room for an old ones on our 590 560 the door ready to do the boom I dig all the way flat before you open the door now you got several into the room to synchronize isn't it also really good visibility when you're sitting in here the base kind of comes down you're sitting that you can just sit perfectly normal you can see the whole cutting edge so many guys getting racine there they look forward because they're used to having to look forward to see you cutting edge okay you're gonna sit right there comfortable looking it's alright they're super nice you've got to have it well why don't you introduce yourself before we get too crazy in doing all right I'm Jerry Williams the GM of our services this is my big brother and me little brother I've Jamison Williams and I owe him a ham he's like hey Stan did you bring my hat and I'm like it's you're tall you didn't remind me this time I should have remembered all right one of the things that I which Bobcat would do a Mormon single browser I would like to see a triple browser or dual browser designed caterpillar does it ASB does it these guys that actually had learned just the other day ASB is so confident in their track design that if at any time you call a out of your tracker you spin out of you track within the first two years or 2,000 hours they'll come out on their dime and put your track back on for the only ones inside the whole industry that does that that's pretty nice but really if they're if the tension is right if we never get too loose and yell saggy they really should never come off like you said LED lights it's not the bells and whistles that pay the bills it's your skills so they're late work - one of the things that I do like about Bobcat and I've said this before off camera too many times is they are the McDonald's of skid steer you can break this thing and go down and instantly get apart and be operational again they just they're just so that is one of the most beautiful things that I really love about them and they're they're just good quality built machines that's what I've read that's why I have so many of them I probably had a 1520 Bobcats I don't know how but looking at this know this engine design is not what I'm used to see you know this one so our 585 it's turned like this this one obviously is going going in you got your coolant your air filter your fuel filter this is got like a see seafood glass in the bottom it's kind of nice see if there's water junk in there cut your fuel we all fill through the battery is up under the cab so you have flip the cap up to get to the battery but if ever you jump anything you got cables that come back there so you can jump to find out what decisions these guys make I'm not gonna tell you you're gonna have to go over to Garrett's Channel you got your own YouTube yeah looking up on YouTube here Williams on Facebook Instagram or services all right so if you want to find out if he ends up buying this one or this one or you want to see the machines you already have got some new got some old got a mix yep go check him out alright guys that's our video for today it's up to you now to tell me how you think this Bobcat actually performed out on the site and we will hopefully see you guys on another video I'm gonna pop a couple up here for you and God bless them go get em you guys see you next time [Music]
