How Farms Work by Ryan Kuster is a CZcams channel based in rural Potosi, Wisconsin.
Our mission is to teach those who didn't grow up on a farm what the farming life is like.
These videos show the Kuster family working together raising cattle and crops. We believe everyone who wants to know more about farming should be able to share the farming experience with us and we look to educate the world on many essential agriculture topics.
How Farms Work takes place on ~1,100 acres with around 75-200 cattle at any given time. Four John Deere tractors are currently used on the farm, which are a 4020, 4640, 7600, and 8235R.
I really hope JCB is watching this and takes the feedback to heart.
Moving quickly to act on feedback is a selling point also.
now why would they not. he preachs it like a sales men..
Jeremy, JCB infact does not add the second window due to safety. The LED lights are a quick and easy change out. Less than a hour of work.
@@rportugal89 Yea, I realized that about the window later on, I was comming off 3rd shift tired when the post was made.
As for the lights, how much does this machine cost 🤣
@@rportugal89 They still could add a holed or slitted pane....
A nice light bar on the front of that would be great
Well, you've made my mind up , I'm going to get one ! Thank you very much, I've learned more from you then any other video !
I almost forgot with the JCB you can lift something off the ground and still get out the cab
I bought a 2016 JCB 280 wheeled machine because of the side door and visibility. I can't see going back to anything else. I do have a few complaints that I think JCB should address to make a better machine. I think some of the adjustments for handling that are currently handled by a tech using a laptop should be user adjustable through a menu on the overhead display. The vents for heat and ac rattle around and don't stay pointed where you want them...plus it's hard to get air to blow on the door and right side window to keep the fog off because of the way the vents are angled. I feel the joysticks could use just a very slight increase in spring tension to help keep from making inadvertent joystick movements when moving over rough ground. And finally I think that a stronger bucket tilt cylinder would be better. I don't have the bucket roll back power that I did with my Case 435 series III. When carrying a heavy bucket of material or using my Arts-Way bedding spreader, the bucket continually wants to creep forward and I have to keep rolling it back. It's been a problem since new. I know these aren't major issues but addressing these would turn a very, very good machine into an excellent one. Great review Ryan and I agree completely with it. Anybody thinking about buying a JCB skid steer will not regret the decision.
You ripped the JCB sticker, I think that means you have to buy it now :)
Hey guy I run a 330G Deere skidder, hoses are kept in pretty tight and within the boom. The ones that go down into the side frame are also retained in place, so they have done some improvement lol. They all got some room for improvement... just my 2cents
Great video, hope it stays on the farm!
My brother runs compact track loaders all day, everyday for a construction company that probably builds 500 houses a year. I consulted him on on purchasing a track loader and he told me that if you buy a wheeled loader, you better buy two because you'll be pulling one out of the mud all day long. In our area we have a lot of red clay and wheeled loaders are useless on it. Even given the extra maintenance of cleaning the tracks, the only time I would ever use a wheeled loader is in a gravel or paved lot. Tracked loaders are literally better in every other situation. Honestly, they're better on pavement and gravel too, but the tracks wear fast and it becomes expensive to keep them up.
Thanx for a good balanced review. Keep up the great work !!
Always nice to hear honest opinions. Ty Ryan
I hope that JCB takes what you said to heart.... you always have truthful reviews. I know your dad liked it you could see the looks on his face when he ran it in the videos
It was fun watching you put it the its paces Nice machine for sure.
Being Older I like the side access door into the cab!
Hopefully JCB makes you a deal you can’t refuse.
I will echo Ryan's sentiments from the viewer perspective. While I am not on the market for any equipment, I am certain this video will help many who are to make an informed decision. It was nice be able to see a Teleskid in action for the first time and in very high quality. Thanks to How Farms Work and JCB for making this video series possible.
Great review! Thanks Ryan.
Once again I agree 100% with you. Tracks are much easier on grass. Tires love to eat lawns with every turn. A most excellent machine. BIG turn off are those lights. They just need to put those old ones on Ebay and put some LEDs on them. Especially since the skid steer cost $80k! 😂
The teleskid***
You did not make mention of the side door, pro or con. Which in essence is the purpose of the side boom. My Daughter's Father-in-law has this model in the wheel version for 2 years now and loves it. Of course he is in his 50's. But for him the biggest plus is the side door access. It's a age thing. It's amazing how climbing over a bucket for 30 years can produce wisdom as a side affect. Someone at JCB got wise.
I liked it I got to see you guys work with it I was impressed Thanks
We were thinking of upgrading to a skid steer with tracks. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for an honest review. I've all ways trusted your word. You give us the truth as best you can.
Good review Rayn. Could see how that extend boom would be handy .Ran just a regular boom one a few weeks ago. Nice looking machine but just not enough protection for the windows and bumpers for what we use it for. Also keep it out of more then a foot of water. The Ecm is on the bottom of the cab, and this was a warning giving to us from a jcb mechanic.
The JCB needs to be a permanent machine on the farm. Looks like your dad and Travis love it as well. Trade the Bob Cat in and have two JCB Skid loaders on the farms. Awesome video as always Ryan.
New teleskids have a mat that cover the hydraulic hoses on the top. makes thing that would otherwise snag a single hose to slid off.
The single boom and telescoping feature are very attractive selling points
Great video as always Ryan! We're not in the market for a skidsteer, but if we were we would seriously be considering this one. Visibility is a huge plus for efficiency, safety, and just comfort. I'm really impressed with the Teleskid! Thanks for all of the info! Have a great rest of the day - Everett aka Farm Boy #1
Awesome review Ryan! Been waiting to hear Your thoughts on this unit... Definitely a positive pitch... Thanx
Looks like one heck of a machine. JCB should give you a 50% off deal on it. The advertising they have gotten from you and would continue to get in the future would by far make up the cost. They could/should sponsor you.
Great review, I knew you'd love it :)
thanks for your thoughts on the jcb it looks like a sweet machine
That JCB is a nice machine. I'm hooked on it even though i don't need a skid loader.
Great review man
Not sure what you're going to do when they finally pick it up. Having that extra machine really seemed to make life on the farm that much easier. I'm sure there are conversations to be had with JCB, and even if you knew now what is going to happen, I'm sure you wouldn't tell us until you're ready anyways ;) Interested to see what the future holds for a second machine on the farms!
Well up until now they had to drive the bobcat over to the farms a lot, and that slipping when feeding a bale to thr cows in the winter was midly dangerous too.
Great video Ryan, I think tracks look nicer and in the beginning Ryan said he didn't want a skid steer with tracks now I think he thought twice about the tracked versions!
Nice review of JCB track machine, interesting series.
I have a feeling that you will see more companies offering their own versions of the teleskid
JCB would be wise to spend there marketing funds on a great deal with real world performance demos. Give you a discount code at 5% credit for buyer and 5% for you. After 20 units sold, it's free. Also for farm show appearances. As your channels grow, so does your marketing value. Best wishes for a great long term partnership that shakes up equipment marketing and benefits hands on farmers.
I hope you get the JCB. It just seems to so much more versatile, and regarding the price of tracks it should balance out since they last longer than the tires. Atleast thats what Wes from ALF said in one of his videos. Keep rockin' and love both yours and Travis' channel
the other thing with the tracks is to add spikes or flat plates across the width of the tracks for more traction as i had noticed on quite a few occasions when you started moving the tracks would wheel spin ( like going from 0 to 60 ) quite a lot mostly on dirt as those tracks are rubber meaning they are designed for road usage more then off road that is the reason you got stuck as well
R there any other skid steers with a telescoping front end loader??
Nice to hear a honest review, I wasn't a where JCB made a skid steer , looks like quite the machine, now were you impressed enough to purchase one, or are they just to expensive?
Great machine and review
Great video and review 👍
Did it allow you more understanding of your needs on the farm?
Great video thanks
Great video and review....Thanks Ryan.
@Amped Up LOL. I'm 67 years old and I've heard that comment quite a few times in my lifetime....:)
Kinda like Nascar driver Dick Trickle.
I'd like to see the flow be higher volume with the boom fully extended , to operate a forestry attachment
it has low flow ?
It has low and high flow, but the low flow extends with the boom, whereas the high flow doesn’t extend.
Great video
We have a bobcat tracked machine and we’re thinking about switching to a rubber tired..... the tracks will freeze in the winter if they’re not clean and it’s extremely difficult to wash it when you have to feed cattle twice a day
Great vid / review Ryan! I Learned a lot!
Ryan every track machine has to be clean, mostly in winter or fall.
I hope that you do get the teleskid because it will make stacking bales in the barn easier
I have ran a jcb machine before. Did you think the hydraulic controls were a little touchy?
Great video Ryan. Big question is will you buy it and can you work out a deal with the company
Great review Ryan thanks for sharing..
At 1:26ish did you mean getting light in the tail end as you’re heading down hill carrying a tree or other large load
Thanx from the left coast near the Krapitol of California
If you do ever have to change the lights put a large led bar across the whole width of the cab
one on top and 2 spotlights at the bottom of the plate :D
It's good for tractors too. I recommend
@@Deutschehordenelite looks well protected under that plate, everything on top will get crushed if flips a bale on to the roof i think hehe. nice machine. have to put it on my list of what i want, but dont need lol
Remember if put a light bar across you will block the the emergency exit window.
@@Deutschehordenelite you wouldnt want one on top, it would get wiped right off.
The down fall of a track loader is they are literally worthless on ice and hard packed snow in the winter. Also clean out so they don’t freeze up in the winter.
Yeah but tracks blow away tires the rest of the season.
skliros honestly unless it's mud we use are wheeled loader way more. Smoother ride, better on concrete and a lot cheaper to replace tires vs tracks
I watched Dale Jr rip the hydraulics right off the front boom once on HGTV! Lol
Where is your farm stationed? Love the vids keep up the good work👌
Nice vid!
Hello Ryan hope JCB gives you a sweet deal, and Thanks for the update👍
If only you knew how much the JCB Teleskid costs, you'd have to use it to clean out your BVDs. The old Farmall M with a DU-AL loader might be an antique, but she still gets the job done. Plus, she's paid for.
Smart farming
Favorite CZcamsr
As always another awesome video jcb looks like a mini tank lol have a good day
Cat is pretty terrible with exposed hoses, especially the 299. The drive motors have hoses running out the belly pan to them with no shielding. Fine long as you stay out the woods or mulching. Bobcat kinda committed the same sin in a way by having hydraulic self tensioning tracks on the new 870 with the an exposed hose running out to the track. One side it works off all the time from anything bumping because the thread direction to loosen is the same if anything pushes against it.
We have two jd skid steers and we have never caught our hydraulics
Is that model the biggest or middle sized? And what kind of price tag does it have?
it is a beast of a machine seems like it works pretty doggone good man big thumbs up bro💪💪👍👍👍👍👊👊
Pretty cool skidloader.never saw one till you got that one. Sounds like you really liked the jcb.you gonne buy one?How much better over the bobcat?I love bobcat ones.have run them hundreds of hours
Bobcat has pin and bushings on both sides to carry load so mute point. I really like the side door. Sucks to have to make sure the boom and bucket are all the way down to exit the machine like our Cat. Love the Cat- just not that part of it.
the pins on the bobcat are half the size. A pin with twice the size of another pin has 4x the cross sectional area. So it's way more than twice as strong.
Id be willing to bet the unloaded boom on the tele is more than twice as heavy as the unloaded booms on the bobcat. Also the lift capacity on the tele is probably much much higher- so really not a relevant comparison. The big bushing/pin on the Tele is adequate for its purpose- the Bobcats is suitable for its.
@@timr86868 you need to look at the pin size from an engineering stand point. The single pin is naturally going to be much larger.
Jeff Gixer the guy I replied to said it doesn’t matter that the bobcat has smaller pins because it has two of them. I said it has 4x as much pin cross sectional area. I am looking at it from an engineering perspective. I would be willing to bet the JCB could take significantly more force before breaking the single pin than the bobcat.
@@timr86868 are you an engineer or is this just a guess on your part?
Such a real honest review of the JCB skid steer track model and I really enjoyed it thanks for sharing that with us Ryan we learned so much from watching you and Travis videos 2 great guys living on a farm doing your own thing with your dad and that's great how Farms work great video of big thumbs up
Thanks Ernest!
Great review Ryan thanks for your honesty have a great day be safe.
One thing you didn't mention witch you had in perverse video's is ground clearance...
I really would love to try one out, I’ve never spent much time in wheeled skid steers because in construction they really don’t have much use outside paving IMO, I prefer tuning tracks on hot top because the turning is smoother, tired catch and throw you around in the cab. I am amazed of the balance that machine has, anyone that’s run a Cat on tracks knows how bad they want to tip over forward, with that extra reach on the JCB I paid a lot of attention to the ass end when you were running it and seldom did I see day light. Totally agree that ISO controls are the way to go but I’m biased because the first skid steer I ever ran was a Takeuchi so I had a lot of ISO hours before I ever ran the other control types. What was your experience with the JCB dealer? There isn’t on super close in my area and let’s face it, the greatest machine on earth is useless with out strong dealer support
I use my skidsteer every single day of the year and every single day I wish my boom extended.
Sounds like the only bad thing about the JCB is the price.
They are a wonderful machine but ya messy to clean up being a track machine definitely will looking at a wheel machine in the future
Get one!!!!
Hi Ryan, just out of interest what's the retail price for that machine and how hard are they pushing you to buy it?
Great content as usual 👍
i think the jcb skid steers tracked or wheeld i think here in canada sells for $50 to 60,000 plus jcb from georgia called me to sell me a jcb backhoe
Cash price on a tracked teleskid is low $80k
$80,000 thats a price of a kubota M6-141 here in canada at my kubota dealer with 141hp kubota includes the bucket,forks,loader,snowblower and blade and front pto 3 point hitch and tax wich is $84,109 wich is pretty cheap price on a 141hp kubota with all the asseries with it
And this machine will do everything a tractor will and more.
@@pilotmatt293 good
Would prefer an articulate tractor with telescoping boom...but there is a differen$e
Great Review, will be a sad day when it goes :-(
Keep up the good work always keen to see the real usa not the Hollywood verion
I've seen those things running from $80K to $90K+. Some new pickups cost that much... Make him a deal, JCB. (:-D
Much more useful than a pickup, and probably last longer
Harley04 not necessarily
Well you have me sold on JCB
the window on the right hand side ... they could jus make a opening with a mesh over the opening so no one can get hurt .... jus slide the window open when needed .... hope this makes sense
Yeah what i was thinking too. A fully opening window on that side with the boom there is never going to happen... I can already see someone would stick their head out to view or talk and opppps foot or leg hits the down control..... But like you see no reason why could not have say a bank tellers setup panel with holes in it you can shutter or open as desired.
Great review Ryan, hope ye can do a deal:):)
How much money did the teleboom add to the price?
The 773 vs the JCB teleskid /apples vs oranges
Nothing can compare to a Teleskid
I live in Darlington. 🚜🚜
You cant compare a model year 18 or 19 track machine vs a 2001 skid steer. What is the roc of each unit.
I just don't see a tracked machine working well for you guys feeding cattle on the frozen Wisconsin winters. You pointed out the benefits of a tracked machine, but I would much rather be on a chained up wheeled machine in the winter.
What did your dad & brother think about it or is video all yalls review? Dads sometimes don’t like change.
Almost Tempted to buy one after seeing the Reviews. ha ha, Quick Question, Is JCB and Komatsu" the same Family? I have a Komatsu' Forklift in Shipping and Receving an The JCB have the same headlights as the K and the Visibility on my forklift is awesome.
Keep up the work luvyoubabes my name is a sergeant
if you have tracks and work in a cold area and the mud and dirt pack in the track area it will freeze and lock the tracks. The need to be cleaned at the end of work day or the next morning you will be spending a large amount of time trying to get your tracks to turn.
Willie Gardner delt with that with out T650 this winter. But tracks are still far better than tires, in most applications.
Did not say tracks were not good just that you would need to clean them out at the end of the work day in freezing areas to prevent them from freezing and requiring a lot of time the next morning to free them up. Tracks are great in many ways but need extra care in some areas.
Buy it! Buy it!
We've had loads of problems with the hydraulics on our John deere
What type of problems and what model if you don't mind me asking
@@brentanderson5618 we've had the get caught on tree limbs and them as well as losing all pressure and when driving holes with the post hole digger. We run a John deere 260
I have a 3:17 John Deere and a 313 John Deere I haven't had any hydraulic problems yet at work we have 324e and they seem to be a pretty nice machine after we got the electronic bugs worked out
