I watched the John Deere smackdown video that puts an S130 vs a John deere machine, they have to drive forward over some mounds of dirt with an empty bucket. "Something that all the manufacturers tell you not to do" Then when the John deere rides over without tipping and gets a bucket full of dirt drives back over to return to the start point. Meanwhile the S130 with a drt bucket keeps tipping backward and cannot get over the final hump. Any operator worth his salt would reverse over the hump, but they made up rules that prevent this thus ensuring the John Deere wins a pointless comparison. An S130 has a 60/40 rear weight bias to offset when the bucket is loaded, the John Deere maybe 50/50 bias which means it will go over things better with an empty bucket . My point is no operator will find a real world comparison with this video. Here in Australia we use 4in1 combination buckets almost exclusively( checkout Norm engineering in QLD), these are much heavier and balance the machine better than a stock dirt bucket. And if you want to go up a steep slope just open the bucket and crowd forward , this will let you go up very steep inclines without tipping back. I have built Supercross tracks over the years and this technique works well. I must admit its good marketing by John Deere but I find it hard to believe anyone with a lot experience would fall for such a comparison.
