    I was impressed with this maintenance demonstration video from Intrepid. I wish more brands/dealers took this intentional approach to self-service.

    I did. It was about $34500 shipping included for the machine. He deals BMG, TNA, and Klou grapples too so those can be added. He maintains a warehouse of parts and FedEx overnights them to his customers. I have a similar relationship with my Eliet shredder. Their headquarters is in...

    Kubota SCL1000

    Intrepid is a direct to consumer brand rather than operating dealerships. The owner, Chris Sleurink is super helpful and available for trouble shooting. Their machines are rebranded Knikmops, made in Belgium and used all over Europe. I was impressed with what I learned inquiring with them about...

    Maybe the L28 and L23 are switched? The L28 usually retails for more because of the tele arm I thought. Thanks for posting your data!

    Intrepid also has the rear-seated steering. If I were to sell my MT100, I would probably buy an Intrepid KM85 for the extremely narrow access that would follow my shredder through 3' gates.

    Dealer support is definitely a real important consideration. My only local dealers (1 hour or less drive) were Bobcat, Vermeer, or Toro. I was already put off by the company that sells Vermeer in our region, Toro dealer wouldn't give me the time of day, Bobcat ended up impressing me more than...

    Kubota SCL1000

    I had no idea some mini's don't float. I agree, very important feature for versatility. I also agree about the mess of grease track tensioning, can be a real mess in the field. I started carrying an extensive amount of tools to every job last year for the unexpected with my machines, but I leave...

    I hear a lot of folks say they want a rotator BMG, but I think the knock around is a more fluid tool for feeding chippers or stack wood. Without a second auxiliary circuit, a electronic diverted valve is needed to switch between grabbing and rotating. Sounds clunky.

    What were you doing with it when the belt popped off?

    I feel like I have cleared a 1000lbs with mine as well. I just try not to that often.

    Right on. I haven't heard the same other than people prefer the grease track tensioning of other machines compared to the mechanical tensioner on MT100. Mine was built during early COVID and had an internal hose break and a couple gauge related issues, I believe from being stored outside briefly...

    If Bobcat is in your area, the MT100 is definitely worth a look. To me it seems like the focus of lots mini track loader comparisons is HP, lift capacity, and hydraulic flow. However the quality/feel of the controls are what matters the most in my view. MT100uses mechanical controls instead of...

    Anyone using an aluminum dump trailer?

    I was always a skeptic of those until I used one daily. Game changer body saver. For us on the West coast, are BWISE trailers as good as they read online? I've never seen one in Oregon. Cheers

    Climber Looking for work near Grants Pass, OR

    They've been looking for years to fill that post. It's never had career money attached to the job description though, more of a "starter" municipal job. Southern Oregon is beautiful, lawless, expensive, and largely rural. Finding a place to live can be harder than finding a job, but that's not...

    Anyone using an aluminum dump trailer?

    I would also be curious to hear about people's experiences with aluminum dump trailers from this forum. Obviously they're lighter, but I wonder about long term durability. Cheers.

    2021 MT100 with BMG, Bucket, and Forks

    Everything costs more than it used to even a few years ago. Luckily for the new owner, these tools have been treated with respect and maintained thoroughly. Something that also seems rarer and rarer in the used market...

    2021 MT100 with BMG, Bucket, and Forks

    It is definitely an upgrade from the regular grapple. They go for $4995 before shipping at my local dealer now.
