How do you angle the blade left or right? Can’t figure out the joystick maneuver.

Save your money, all of this can be done with your existing bucket. Pro tip, use smooth bucket for cleaner finish.

Sure would have been a great piece of equipment back in the day when I was backfilling miles of curb. Looks like it would have been way more agile than the d3b i was doing it with.

Meh. I could see this tool being handy for contractors doing residential work, that way you’re not lugging out a heavy dozer to all these houses with paved driveways and roads where it could mess them and the lawns up. But if you’re already at a large job site……a small dozer would be much more efficient. Plus, SkidSteers are not really meant to have this kind of load put on them all the time. They’re not real big pushers. They’re lifters.

nauseating shaky cam, cant do it anymore.

I personally believe an operator or company would be much,much better off with a 939C with a quick coupler and a 6 way blade attachment. Maybe even this one if it's compatible. This way you know you are going to have a phenomenal loader and a Dozer too. But then Cat doesn't wantbto promote their crawler loader line.

Wow unbelievable skill.

That guy could make any blade look good he could put an ironing board on the front and grade with it

Hello Ian whats your opinion on the Deere compared to the Cat ? Are you using EZ grade in the video ?

This video solidifies the reason Im buying the 2020 325G with the 96" Dozer blade. So much you can finish with this setup. Cant wait to take possession of my High track. Plenty of POWER in that machine to move anything you need. Thank you TOM SHORT at R.D.O. in Gilbert Az. for giving the BEST deal in the country.

Important note: Requires a high flow machine to run properly. I bought one, had it installed, and when it wouldn't work right it took them a week to find out that it was just a flow issue. It's not well documented.

kubota makes the best machine on the market right now

That smart blade is about twice the price (~14k with tax) of a plain dozer blade (~7500). I'm looking at one right now. My only question is will it cut at all with an 11,000 lb CTL with 75hp (Cat 279)? Or is it just good for spreading out dirt and aggregate that's been dumped out of a truck? Do they make a ripper for the back end of a skid steer to make the blade more practical?

Ahh man, these vids that show gps equipped equipment where the gps automatics aren't being taken advantage of kill me. topcon gps makes it so easy for even a operator who barely knows gps to be able to bust out flat or sloped pads with out a model. Set up a base and do single point localization then create a flat pad at any elevation you choose from the cab of the machine is so easy. even better if theres a network then you dont even need a base, just run off the internet straight to the machine... if you cant tell im a big proponent of gps control on equipment.. makes a good operator great, and a okay operator good. less need for a grade setter to chase the machine all day...gets em out of the way so you can get your work done.

Beautiful work my friend. We’re getting our Takeuchi TL12 and a dozer blade tomorrow. I can’t wait to push some dirt.

I'll always love John Deere but I have a Kubota 95 right now that is really nice for the price and John Deere was about $12,000 more when I bought mine and I do understand why to a certain extent because I have ran the 333g and the power is unquestionable it is extremely powerful but I'm not crazy about the visibility on it. Having said that , if I had a pile of money I will definitely be getting one of these

It's nice to see someone actually using the blade with some natural grading skill. I just bought a dozer blade and I can't find much feedback on operators using these blades grading. Keep up the good work!

Does anyone out there use it on paving prep Wondering on those corner parking stall. The area a GRADER can't reach. Lots of big Blacktop contractors in my area use a box spreader on a 3 point hitch, behind a dedicated made front Loader backhoe. I see so meany black top guys with skis steers now. A small roller and skid steer on trailers. It seems like this would be better than a belly blade Tractor. Just my opinion.

my question is can you see cutting edge on the dozer blade real easy from the seat of the Cat skiddy ?

Almost 200 g , very expensive skid loader

Real speed was fine, but thank god for the no Justin beaver overture

I have a 289d, and I've operated the 299d. We use the 299d cause it will run the big mulcher but I purchased the 289d for dirt work and tree work.now I'm curious bout dozer blades and skeptic of some things. They have 2 price ranges on these blades, skid pro, cat, and other for example make really heavy duty and built thick with 5/8 steel and priced at average of $7500 and up but if you only got 74 horse power with the 289d verses the 100 hp in 299, I'm curious if I could just go with the lower grade bladesade with 3/16 and save at $3500 or lose cause they're not gonna hold up. None will take the place of a dozer but for grading and cutting some I definitely see it worthy of having the attachment. Thoughts?

What does that attachment cost

Nice use of the curl to control height. I believe that is the best way.

Are they quicker for grading than the bucket and is it worth the 6,800 dollar they cost, I priced one for mine

Just an idea: czcams.com/video/YXuuMStjUxI/video.html

Keep the videos coming my new friend 😎

yeah Komatsu is a problem don't have good service

Takeuchi...

Zero skill involved anymore,once they get a ballincing program down operators are going to be a distant memory.

Love my 333, we were stretched out one week and i had to use it for base in a parking lot. I pushed 30 triple axle loads of 4” down in a day 🤣 climb the pile just like a dozer I was really impressed.

JD skidloaders are an EPIC FAILURE every model!

So would you do this or a small track dozer like a D1 or 2? We have a 333g but not sure if i want to be pushing all that on the arms all the time. Did they have a cost yet for this system?

You are good with that tilt bucket. Have you noticed any excess wear from using the back side of the bucket

Seemed impressive
