Built in us , there goes quality control. Sad but true. Best equipment is built in Japan.
I agree with you sir, but… let’s pray that attitude in this country of the new generations WAKE UP!!! Instill sense of pride in what Americans can do! Looking of course to our forefathers for guidance, we used to make the strongest the fastest! Remember WW 2 generation..
Hitachi agrees with you 100%
I agree with you mostly
As long the parent company keeps the same goals quality over quantity
Hopefully
@@macman091 I own John deere 35g and 50g built by Hitachi, awesome machines
@@macman091 Hitachi needs to build track loaders, skid steers. Reliable and simple
Japan doesn’t have DEI hires !
😂😂😂
🎉Thanks brother, this my first time knowing of this great brand🎉
I’m currently looking at the new TB370 mini excavator. This is a well timed video!
As soon as we get President Trump back in the White House we will see a lot more manufacturing in the USA. GO TRUMP!
Hmmmm ok. 👍
I own a TB53FR , have owned it for about 20 years now and it’s awesome! Still use it almost everyday
Just got me TB257FR and absolutely love it
I have not run a new one. But I loved Takeuchi. Ran a to 140 230 and a 250. For 5 years. Hod no issues . But needing service of course. Great machines that a durable spacious. Given I an 6’3 I was comfortable in them
Thanks for the input I'll check into it and I'm subscribing
Great interview! Love the Takeuchi!!!
Great video with great information! Justin is a good dude knows his stuff
Great information.
Love my tl12 track loader…..great machine…
Love the TL 12 ran a brand new one , a couple years back. Was blown away! Company almost switched all machines but parts lead times were not acceptable
Working on a radio controlled model of a legally distinct "red track loader" and it has been great fun. Our Caterpillar at work just isn't as refined. Takeuchi (say it with me Brian: "ta kay oo chee") practice your Japanese syllables 😂.
Real talk though, great video, can't wait to see more of Tak's full lineup hit our shores, and really miss those live streams.
Great to have the jobs in the US. BUT some businesses are just going to wait a couple of years to see how the quality and reliability of these of US made machines hold up before purchasing.
I love the flip up front screen, why does no one else do that?
Great product but our local dealer is horrible
I have had a TL8R2 HF on order since April 2022 and was supposed to be delivered Dec 29, 2023 and now Feb 2024 delayed again with no new delivery date.
The tak is a solid machine
Almost bought a pristine TL230 at auction last year but got overbid :(
I dont see how New Hollands new 362 is considered a compact track loader bc that thing is fuggin huge its the biggest in the market right now.
This was needed 3 years ago. Still a multiple month wait time for a tl12 high flow. Last year this time it was 1 year wait time!
Covid backup clown piece
There goes the quality and the pricing.
American quality control and work ethic is garbage.
@KD-ss7rf I recently got a tb53fr I really like it but having some overheating issues in the summer wondering if you have had any issues or fixes for this? It kind of sounds like this could have been a common issue but nobody at the dealer seems to know anything any input would be appreciated thanks
They have a new pulley kit that allows the fan to spin up to 300 rpm’s more and belly pan with more holes to push the hot air out quicker. I put the kit on my 260
Compact equipment is better if it is smaller. Smaller, powerful equipment is better with all the job sites getting smaller and smaller.
Talk-Uh-Hoochi?
Better keep a sharp eye on quality control.Does'nt take much to destroy a solid reputation.They make good equipment,hope it stays that way.Japanese workers are much more disciplined and committed.
If they can now go back to Yanmar engines then I’d be excited. Until then we switched to Deere. The Kubota engines are failing at a high rate in the Takeuchi’s and even when under warranty still, Takeuchi is denying warranty. It’s a shame because we love them and they have been great until the TL12R2’s started having engine failures.
Any idea why?
When are they going to make an electric Takeuchi?
why cant they give it a name that isnt horrible to spell?
come on meow this is america, give it a name that will match if you want proper sell
