I Bought A Takeuchi TL6 Tracked Skid Steer. Did I Get Ripped Off?

Video Description

I bought this Takeuchi TL6R compact track loader for use on the farm. Obviously moving dirt and grading, lifting with forks, but also to run a bush hog on the front. Now I can easily mow the pond edges, the dam, trails through the woods, fence lines, etc. It's a great machine for me, and I really like the compact size, though it comes with some trade offs as you see in the video. But it's fuel efficient, maneuverable, and has plenty of power for my needs. If I need raw lifting power over this machine's capacity, I can just use my tractor, or Large Marge... ;-). It's great to have this machine in the fleet. In this video I do a complete service on it with the exception of the engine valve lash adjustment. I change the engine oil and filter, change the hydraulic oil and main filter, pilot filter, and clean the suction strainer. I flush, clean, and refill the cooling system. I change the fuel filters and clean the water separator. I change the oil separator filter. I modify the fuel cap so the key isn't necessary. I change the final drive oil and check the track tension. I change the cabin air filters. I also give an overview of what I don't like about the machine.
