  • Will this machine live up to Case's hype?
    Overall first impressions are that this machine is impressive! tons of power, visibility is great, and surprisingly nimble for its size.
    Be sure to check out Dirt Perfects channel as well to see this on a massive rock placement job.

    That machine is a beast for sure. When you pushed out that stump near the CZcams yacht I remembered how much effort you had put into stump removals with your JD 750 and thought "the rest of this video is going to be Captain going to every stump on his property to push it out". Taking down that tree at your brother's was a piece of cake !

    SORRY for all the comments, the automatic lock in for the Dozer frame under skid steer beast is amazing. Just WOW I thought with my pee brain that you had to somehow get underneath the beast, and hook up/connect the pins, that storage rack for Hydraulic hoses is "A+" that power control hook up for that Dozer frame BOY the Engineering thought on that is just WOW.

    Well, good morning Captain.....for me, it's a great day when a video comes out,. and then there was a visual of MBTS !!! i will say...kudos to DP for reaching out to CASE, and to Case as well.... for the opportunity to try out the Case Minotaur DL550. i'm a Granny, and don't know much of anything about machinery, however, i do recognize the beauty and function of the machine! You worked with the DL550 like a pro, and Case can rest easy that you are taking care of it! there's excitement in the air.....at the CZcams Yacht. i recall seeing the video where you showed us where the magic was going to happen, and lo and behold..........

    The Minotaur is so much more of a machine than one would expect from just looks alone.
    The power to dig, probably because of the steel tracks far outperforms a CTL but it’s not a direct replacement for all jobs.
    Looking forward to seeing it perform as a dozer now that you know some hoses need to be connected.
    Thanks to Case for allowing you to use it and let us see it.

  • @stanleynowak9325
    @stanleynowak9325 Před rokem +1

    Rabbit turtle is like a gear? If it's got multiple gears at the touch of a button, we call that a "power shift." I don't mean to be nasty. I do like this video. I did subscribe to the channel. Thanks for posting this! The reason I brought this up is because I bought one of the first Case IH Maxxum tractor's in the country way back in 1989-1990. It was a 5140. That tractor had 4 ranges and four power shifts in each range. Anyway, one of the local "experts" asked me if it had a turtle rabbit button like his 4 cyl Ford 7700. I tried to explain the the concept of the power shift to him but he just kept asking the same question. Finally, another farmer looked at him and said. "Hey, that's a 6 cylinder Cummins in that tractor. It will eat your tractor." We used to grow onions on muck soil 50 miles NW of NYC. This area is rural suburban in nature. You don't want big heavy tractors on this type of soil. It averages 70% organic matter. So, you don't want to compact it. Anyway, it looks like you have a good channel. Take care.

    That Case is a nice machine, I think the fact that it has steel tracks is a game changer. I have never been a fan of skid steers, tired skid steers tend to tear up surfaces and get stuck easier, track skid steers with rubber tracks tend to damage the track easily because it rubber, that being said, would I turn down a skid if was offered or the only thing I could afford, absolutely not, just have to be mindful of what I consider some of the draw backs. Great demo sir, thanks for the ride along.

    I have owned a couple different Case skid loaders. 90xt and a 75xt. They were two of the most powerful machines I have owned. I just hated the traction of a wheel loader. I would love to try one of these compared to what I have now! Glad you got to try it out while getting something done at the yacht!

    I’ve been patiently waiting on a Minotaur video from DP and have yet to see one. Crazy that you can work part time and get a video of it up first. That thing is a beast! Can’t wait to see more of it.
