Are you asking about the box blade I adapted to the push blade or the rake I have installed on the boom?

I believe the max reach on this model is 8'6" and it weighes 2100lb with rubber tracks and 2700lbs with steel track's. Groundhog Equipment also offers an internal and external counter weight kit for this model.. You'll have to call groundhog to get the max digging depth. I don't have those numbers currently.

@@solojimoutdoors If you skid steer hard it will definitely tear up grass but there are tricks to minimize this like making small turns. over distance to get where you going. There are other ways but only experienced operators should try these using the boom.

Thank you

These will definitely save your back.

It's the rotary log grapple available from Groundhog Equipment in Middleburg PA. I was just over a couple of weeks ago and I noticed they had these in stock.

@@gardnersgroundhogminiexcavator great I’ll give them a shout! I’m not far from there we are a few minutes north of Scranton

@timberandtools Well if you don't mind let them know you were watching my channel. Thanks for watching!

@@gardnersgroundhogminiexcavator will do

@@ifyoutip Thanks

Yes you can buy these Steel tracks from Groundhog Equipment in Middleburg PA. They normally keep these on stock and I noticed they had them just two weeks ago. You can reach them at 570-837-1003.

@@gardnersgroundhogminiexcavator thank you man !

@keithsevcik4374 your welcome and glad I could help

@@hoovertractor Yes I've used this trailer in many of my UA-cam videos. It is definitely a good trailer to have.

I'm glad to hear your enjoying your dumper. I'm hoping the channel takes off as well. Thanks for watching!

Hope this helps. It should take you to Groundhog Equipment's web site.

@@cobey24 I would research that. The DR trimmers are pretty popular so I'm guessing many have tried different cutting attachments and lines.

@@cobey24 Glad I could help. Enjoy!

Well these are so new that I don't have a price sheet for them yet. If you call Groundhog Equipment in Middleburg PA at 570-837-1003 they should be able to answer your questions today. They had 4 in stock last weekend. Don't forget to ask about your Gardner's Groundhog's viewers appreciation Discount. Thanks for watching.

I believe I have three videos of this DR weed trimmer being used on my Groundhog. It works pretty good but I haven't used it recently. Good luck with your's.

@@cobey24 Did you see the video where I cut the River bank with this attachment?

@@gardnersgroundhogminiexcavator No sir..... this video and the previous one are the only ones I found so far.

You should like that one. Our river bank gets covered in Japanese river weed which gets about 10 feet tall and reminds me of bamboo.

@@gardnersgroundhogminiexcavator Cant find it! Can you link it here to me?

Give Groundhog Equipment a call. They should be able to help you out.

Thanks but I already have one. I just don't use it much because it doesn't fit all of my attachments.

Yes you can definitely find some good deals at those auctions but definitely look the equipment over. The Chinese really get cheap when they are giving the equipment away at auction prices. You can definitely pick out the cheaper machines by looking at the overall metal thickness even though two machines might look exactly alike from a distance. Other things to look for are machines without hydraulic oil filters, lack of cooling fans, and cheaper valves. Its one of those pay now or pay later lessons in life many of us have to learn the hard way. Always buy the heavy duty attachments over the light weight cheap ones if you want them to last.

@@urcindys Thanks! Glad to see your still watching.l!

Sorry UA-cam picks the adds.

@gardnersgroundhogminiexcavator I understand totally. Great piece of machinery but thier choice of political ads aren't necessary.

@@haighaikasian7985 Thanks for understanding and thanks for watching.

Sorry I'm not currently a Groundhog Dealer but if you give Groundhog Equipment a call in Middleburg PA they will be able to help you out.

@@gardnersgroundhogminiexcavator vcs tem o contato por gentileza?

Thanks for the comments. The string trimmer is from DR which I modified to use on my Groundhog. I believe I have several videos of it in use.

The engine may be unairworthy or something but also the planes that need something that huge and modified are rare and expensive.

@@ericfarrar6607 anything that runs can be made airworthy. They only made like 50,000 of these engines and I for one don't care for some hillbilly blowing them up on a weekly basis l.

​@@Areaoverload those hillbillys couldn't give less of a sh** about what you think. Outstanding use for these motors.... but it's probably worth it to have a few more on hand, just to have idling. This would surely block out any other stupid things that might be coming from your mouth. 😅😂

@@hogleg98 The BH24D weighs 3300lb I believe with rubber tracks and 3900lbs with Steel tracks. You can double check my numbers on Groundhog Equipments website. To my knowledge they did not offer a counter weight to this design to gain better access to the engine compartment. I don't believe groundhog offers any actual counter weights as an option on this model other than the steel tracks. I Hope this helps.

Sorry I haven't been doing many videos lately. I've been catching up on my fishing. The Good news is both of my hitches are bolt on. You just have to locate the holes then drill and tap to mount the hitch. I really just mounted the disc to the Groundhog for more stability but it would still disc the ground but not very fast. I plan on doing so more videos as soon as this heat wave is over.

@@gardnersgroundhogminiexcavator OH, for some reason I thought you had it welded. I think I will try that then, Thx! I understand the heat stuff. I was just trying to clear an area of my property from a few trees and level the ground. But the heat, bugs and humidity...wow! Any tips on trying to grade with the blade? My blade shoots up or down with a thump and slight bounce no matter how slowly I try to adjust the stick and it makes a mess of things.

@geolt3 Well you could put an extension on your blade lever or pedal. It will make it easier to feather the adjustment.

@@gardnersgroundhogminiexcavator Is there an adjustment screw or something, that you know about, that I could turn to possibly make its valve slow down? I am new to all this hydraulic stuff. I just recently got the ZH24D-2 and waiting for 9" steel tracks

@geolt3 Well I'm going to refer you to Nick Hackenberg the owner of Groundhog Equipment in Middleburg PA for those details because I haven't worked on a ZH24D-2 yet.

I agree having both a tractor and an excavator is a winning combination in many situations.

Yes I agree a comfortable seat on any piece of equipment makes a big difference if your going to spend a lot of time on it.

@@gardnersgroundhogminiexcavator less day long comfort more stability while operating.

@@geolt3 My steel tracks on the Groundhog are 7 inches wide. You'll have to get a open and closed end wrench to reach in and tighten your lock nut and another one to adjust your threaded rod. Get a tape measure to measure the nut to make sure you order the right sized wrench. You'll have to use tools to keep the proper track tension. Sorry for the late response but with everything going on I completely lost track of this comment.

@@gardnersgroundhogminiexcavator No worries, I appreciate the information as always. I have a lot to learn.

I found it on eBay.

The main head quarters of Groundhog Equipment is in Middleburg PA. They have more than twenty dealerships now across the country. You can check out their website and UA-cam channel for more information. If you decide to buy directly from Groundhog Equipment in Middleburg PA be sure to ask about the Gardner's Groundhog's viewers appreciation Discount. Hope this helps.

I have a video on how to adjust your tracks.

@@gardnersgroundhogminiexcavator Yep, I saw that video on doing the adjustments. I was mostly concerned about manipulating the very heavy tracks around to get them on the machine. Also, where did you get your track tensioner?

@geolt3 The track tensioner is actually a heavy duty chain tensioner that I found on eBay. I used the long strap and hook from a ratchet strap to manually pull the tracks into place and to bring the two ends of the track together so the track tensioner could take over.

@@gardnersgroundhogminiexcavator Thanks for the info. I will start looking for a chain tensioner similar to what you found because I just ordered steel tracks for my ZH24D-2 ex and I will be putting them on by myself.

BTW, I am an IT guy so I learn all this stuff from videos like yours. So thank you for all the helpful videos.

They work ok for small jobs but if you plan on cutting all day nothing so far beats a gas saw in my opinion .

The Groundhog KH14G mini excavator I believe starts at$8,900 but you should call Groundhog Equipment in Middleburg PA to get an updated price on the log grapple.

Nice! Did you use your Gardner's Groundhog's viewers appreciation Discount? I know I could have saved you some money on this one.

@@gardnersgroundhogminiexcavator I would have but .... I'm up in Northern Michigan! So, I bought it from their dealer SWMI-Equipment in Schoolcraft, MI and picked it up. Delivery from PA was almost about $1600

@@geolt3 Well you'll have to keep me posted

@@geolt3 I've been looking at this same model for myself. Thanks for watching.

@@gardnersgroundhogminiexcavator I like the ZH24D-2 but the foot space is a little tight and I wish I had gotten the 2-speed option for the long driveway. Do you know if it is difficult to put in a 2-speed option on your own?

The seat is from a Gravely zero turn mower and the extensions are shifter extensions for a manual car. You can find these on eBay and Amazon.

Well I'm going to have to refer you to Nick Hackenberg at Groundhog Equipment in Middleburg PA. This mini is new to his brand and I haven't had the chance to put one to work. The manufacturers don't give any of those numbers but this mini excavator weighs 2200 pounds. So it should be comparable to the ones I've put to work in my videos. If you put steel tracks on it it should be comparable to my KH14G which I have many videos of it picking up logs but if you try to lift from the side like your explaining any one ton Mini Excavator would get tippy pretty quick. You should always lift heavy loads from the front with the blade down. Hope this helps.

@@gardnersgroundhogminiexcavator OK sounds good. Thank you.

No problem and glad I could help.

Well Groundhog Equipment says it will hold 4 Gallons. I use about 5 gallons of gas on a weekend job.

The excavator weighs 2100 pounds but I do not have the other weights you asked for.

Thank you

No I didn't get the retractable tracks but I would recommend them because they will definitely help keep the excavator more stable.

Sorry I haven't done one of those videos yet but thanks for the idea. I'll be sure to put that on my things to do.

Well I originally bought my first Groundhog because of having a back injury which caused many of the jobs around my property to be put on the back burner or they weren't being done at all. Buying the groundhog was definitely life changing for me and has turned hard work into leisure time. You'll definitely find yourself looking for work to do.

that is going to be my problem already planning on using containers and vertical towers to grow a small garden mainly potatoes, carrots, onions growing food in ground is not not happening going to make the containers waste high to keep from having to ben over

The thumb design is already being addressed and it will have a lay back thumb on future models. Thanks for watching.

It definitely helps cut through roots but it needs to be reinforced. I haven't modified mine yet.

Yes I agree.
