A 572XP and my FF-13 Chinese mini dealing with a crispy poplar in the back yard.
Sunday fun day!
This semi dead poplar in the green belt behind my house has been bugging me for a couple years now so why not make a long boring video of cutting it down and cleaning it up on a Sunday afternoon?
The tree had a bit of a back lean to it and all it’s limbs were on the left side, you can tell as I’m doing the back cut I’m just waiting for it to set back onto my bar but luckily the stars aligned and my face cut was generous enough to keep the centre of mass forward ever so slightly of the hinge….. now I’m off to buy a lottery ticket.

Can you switch between excavator and back hoe modes? Either by button or switching lines?
@@osparker2 Yeah you can just switch the lines around to either control pattern…. It’s pretty straight forward on the cabless models, mine would be a bit more involved.
This is what we were looking for ... not kids playing with one pallet lol
The controls are not soft enough. They aren't smooth. They are very abrupt, and it takes a while to adjust to them, especially because the machines are small and bounce around pretty violently.A homeowner can't beat the value though. I've seen these for $4,000 -$6500 US dollars.
@@TractorWrangler01 I compared the control valve on my log splitter the other day to the mini excavator controls… the log splitter won 🤣 But for an acreage owner who needs to fill a pot hole, dig in a garden, lay some weeping tile around a house etc etc you just can’t beat what these minis bring to the table.
my sprocket split and started free spinning, from that pinion bolt and washer coming loose.. very important these daily checks great video !
We are having a Patrion sawmill, yet we didn't have time to put it together. Maybe in the next fall, we can play with it. LarchLine ❤
Calling that logging looks like your cutting kindleing wood what are they using it for toothpicks matchsticks
@@GaryBonnell-m9q Ask the mill what they are doing with it…. They won’t take logs OVER 28” at the butt.
How are they on hills or rough terrain
@@twinheatingairconditioning135 Depends on the operator…. I’ve pulled myself around on a slope I won’t drive my quad up and down, and when you have a hoe you can make almost any terrain into a passable trail with a few scoops of dirt here and there…. But if you haven’t ran a hoe before the short answer is they are terrible at both.
@PuskwaskaOutdoors thanks
Do not use 5W-20 engine oil! 😧

As with anything else chinavator around here at local auction open cab version going for $2750.00 markets getting flooded
I was considering getting one of these and renting it out local, Do you have any advice?
@@Steve-lj1gp my advice would be DONT. They are too fragile for rental machines.
The fatter you get the more it can lift. That seating position makes you the extra ballast 😂
@@BrandonBigB956 you aren’t wrong 🤣
Thanks for the tip on the swing motor. you may have saved my proverbial @$$. ;)
Have you had a chance to try it on sloped terrain? If ya had to guess, what kind of incline do you think it can handle if going only up or down?
@@jseadog1394 it all depends on the operator, I’ve taken mine down a roadside ditch embankment to clean out a culvert basin….
@PuskwaskaOutdoors okay, thank you Pusk.
Just add more ballast and you can lift more
Cool bit of kit, electric winch and I'm in
@@gor4988 Some people have added them, it would be super handy 👍
How satisfied are you with this little one.Planning to buy one myself
@@UvozAutomobila I think it’s money well spent if you are handy enough to fix the little problems that they come with and understand it’s a very small machine so everything takes time….
939 here. Good luck to you and us, the LarchLine!!!
LarchLine said hi. Liked the video. 938
LarchLine said hi. I like it and subscribed 937❤
Hi. I see that you are like us... now we are your 936th subscriber... We just got a mini excavator that has a leak... I assume that is from the swing motor... Tightig it, I hope it is going to be the fix...
@@LarchLine Loose mounting bolts won’t cause a leak, it can be from multiple places unfortunately… when I’m trying to find a leak I start by cleaning the area as well as I can with brake parts cleaner or my pressure washer, operate the machine in short intervals and periodically inspect the area the leak is in, do not feel around with your hand when the machine is running as you can end up with high pressure hydraulic oil piercing your skin and causing severe injury! Thanks for the sub 👍 it’s been a loooooong climb to this point 😎
@PuskwaskaOutdoors, yeah! I know about climbing... we are climbing on your path too... we are 200 subs behind you... good luck... you are close... I'll try to get you 4 more...
@@PuskwaskaOutdoorsIf you're looking for a hydraulic leak wrapping or stuffing some cardboard around the suspected area is the easiest way to find it. You don't have to clean anything.
A HT-12 will be shipping to me in 2 days 🤞
I've got a similar setup, though I don't use it as much as I thought I would. My first time playing with it, I got ambitious and hiked a few miles up the mountain dragging a pulk. Fast fold stoves I think are the way to go. . My original stove, was the type you have to assemble. I think it's one reason I don't use my hot tent as often as I thought I would. It looks remarkably similar in design to your Danchel fast folder, but isn't. Probably made in the same factory in china, and rebranded under different names. I think that cot assembly would piss me off, but it beats sleeping on the snow. I had a few feet of snow under my back. With a foam pad doubled up with an air mat, and was always slightly cool at the back. You should see this weird tent I got to for this coming fall deer hunt with the wife. OneTigris Cozshack I think it's called. It's meant as a hammock hot tent, but you can use it free standing with poles. Recently got a new fast folder Ti stove too. Have to burn it in yet. Stove's in general are amazingly efficient with wood. The amount of wood you burn for an hours worth of campfire could last you several hours if not most of the night in a stove.
@@MiddleOutdoorsman The Danchel stove has been pretty solid and reasonably easy to setup so far but I’ve really only used it a handful of times, it’s not the stove but rather the tent that I don’t care for…. The amount of condensation inside of a nylon hot tent drives me crazy, I guess once you’ve grown accustomed to a GOOD canvas tent it’s hard to go in another direction… I was actually looking at various hammock hot tents last fall but ended up asking Santa for the OneTigris North Gaze and the canvas version of it was under the tree Christmas morning, haven’t had a chance to use it yet but I may take it hunting as a field test for winter camping, I still like the idea of a hammock hot tent tho, tons of room for 2 people but reasonably light weight and you get a long straight ridge line the length of the tent to dry gear on and you can walk around inside of it…. You can’t do that in a teepee tent unless it’s HUGE. I think something that gets ignored by a lot of people talking about hot tents or looking to buy a hot tent is the other environmental consideration, your buying a hot tent to stay warm in, days get shorter in the seasons your going to use it in, do you really want to be stuck in a tiny tent you can’t stand up in feeding a tiny wood stove every hour or two thru some long dark nights? I’ve done it enough to know I don’t really enjoy it, my “big” Snowtrekker (9.5’x11’) with my “big” Knico Alaskan stove on the other hand is a canvas cabin I can live in for a week or more and I actually miss it when I get back home… As for a cot? Just buy one, the frustration is real but worth it, being off the ground with a bit of warmer air under you takes the chill off, I use a closed cell foam pad on the cot and I sleep like a baby even if the fire dies…. When my missus comes out with me she has the same sleeping kit as I do and she reminds me when the stove stops glowing cherry red 🤣

Handy video. I just bought a 2024 with 0 hr's for $2500CAD
Where can I buy this machine ?

I bought one like this last week for $4,000 US.
El YUKon es Canafa, mo ?
@@mariarosagandara2083 Yes, Yukon Territory Canada.
A Fumoto valve works wonders for changing oil. Put blocking under your blade, then lift the machine up to drain the oil.
mine is sloppy like that I will need to check this. last time i went to go pull off that deck plate that covers the battery and it's sandwiched between the cab and I reckon i'm going to have to take off / loosen up the whole top to get it off. that sucks.
I'm seeing these on eBay for $300 is that right?
@@Mike-01234 Sounds more than a little too good to be true…
I just bought an ff13 last week.Awesome little machine so far, I have 7 hrs on it now and really can't complain to much . I have no regrets.
Wow

I got one being delivered tomorrow....its a Rhinocers. 1 ton
This excavator sales in china about 2000dollar ,Chinese people don't buy it at all. These are all produced by small workshops. Deceptively sold to the United States by a middleman The quality is poor and not smooth. A hydraulic pump is only $20. I guarantee my life that what I said is true. Because I'm surrounded by such small factories and middlemen.
16:35 new quality machines start at $25k.
I’m in Canada, add 30% then shipping and 6-10% interest 🤣
@@PuskwaskaOutdoors Wow are your wages 30% higher? That’s nuts
@@chriss2295 Our wages are slightly higher but it doesn’t balance out….
I named mine “Backsaver” because that’s what it does. I used to have a Bobcat 334 and while that was a much more capable machine, I believe these things are still useful…if you understand the limitations
Thats funny because I have to wear a back brace when I'm using mine. The jerking around is terrible for my back and it needs support. Still love it though
lol what a drag.
I just got a Kabita KX13-7 at 45 years old and I’m in love!
