Review and thoughts on a 2.5 Chinese mini excavator
Переглядів 9 тис.10 місяців тому
I review and offer my thoughts on my Chinese import mini excavator. This excavator has a Kubota D1105 diesel engine, swivel boom, expanding tracks, and hydraulic thumb. Very similar to a Kymron and a Groundhog.
Testing the auger attachment on my Chinese mini skid steer
Переглядів 8 тис.10 місяців тому
In this video I test out the auger attachment on my mini skid steer. Like usual it has its issues but eventually works. This time they stripped out the hydraulic fitting for the case drain going into the motor. We got it working but there seams to always be an issue with these Chinese machines. Kymron and groundhog equivalent machine imported directly from China

The DD20 is a Kubota powered Chinese mini excavator with expanding tracks, swivel boom, and lay flat hydraulic thumb! It also comes with a the 16” standard bucket and a 8” trenching bucket! What a sweet package! It has the Kubota D722 diesel engine with 16.5 HP, upgraded pumps, and everything you need to get the job done! This is very similar to the Kymron and Groundhog excavators but at a lowe...

The camera needs aimed down so we can see the trencher working.
You saved $40k vs buying brand name. The fact that these run at all for how inexpensive they are is amazing. These require preventative maintenance. Go over it real good right from the start and it’ll be as reliable as you want it to be.
2 yrs later i just picked this exact battery for $169
The deployment of the tracks gives a lot of stability to the machine, how much extra did you pay? And what was the company? Enjoy it, my friend.
I got it from shangdong nuomen manufacturing I think.
cheap shit ain't good, good shit ain't cheap. thanks for showing the people!!
Thanks, yeah that’s the truth.
what model is your Kubota?
I’ve got the L3902 and it’s been great!
Why don’t you buy cheap American junk?
?
My agt lrt has been the biggest pos i have ever owned, it was a terrible investment. Tracks fallinh off constantly, one pump motor is weak. 35% of Paint flaked off in the first month. And now multiple track cleats are falling out. Absolute junk, i run into problems so often i dont even use it anymore because its way more trouble than its worth. And i wont sell it to somebody because id feel bad about it
Bummer! Sounds like that was a real lemon!
Rethread it yourself. Tap and die kit for 30 bucks dude. Goodness sakes. And stop complaining, John Deere cost 30 of those and breaks down just as much and costs the price of that thing just to fix it. 😂
I get it that it can be fixed. Thought it would be beneficial for people to see what they would be getting.
That battery is $250 now.
Good to know
i bought 2 weeks ago on sale 179.99 got 2 of them
Thanks for the video! What type oil is required for the exiter sump and how much oil does the exiter hold? Thanks
Not sure, sorry
Sweet! Do you have a video on how you did this? I want to install one in my promaster!
Yeah it’s one of my first videos
You got a lemon. I’ve had no problems that I couldn’t fix in under an hour. A little ingenuity helps
Yeah, it had a few issues but had been a real work horse for me since I got it working and got out all the kinks.
@ that’s good. I got a mini ex and had a handful of problems the first few weeks. It seems some of them break in easier than others
I'm sorry for you. We are also a large manufacturer from China. I hope you can contact us. Our machinery products are of guaranteed quality and at a suitable price. How about that? Interested in visiting?❤
Thanks for the info
I have similar issues with Chinese machines. Next time I may buy a used American mini skid steer instead of a Chinese made machine
Yeah, not sure which would be better…
How about an update here 2 years later? Still good?
It’s still working perfectly
stop showing your face
?
@@adVANturers We are here for the Tech, not to look at your face. Less of you and more of everything else in future videos
Good video on how to get my Westinghouse generator started easy!! 😎👍
Glad it helped
Is that machine a 2 pump drive or three
It’s has 3 pumps
@adVANturers nice i got one with 3 pump haven't used yet how do you like it
That’s a 20 min max fix. Retap it with grease on the tap and get a new fitting. Yes the Chinese QC sucks. Idk what everyone expects for 5k or less.
Yeah, I got it working in a few minutes, just showing what people should expect.
Thank you so much! It made for an easy DIY for me! Money saved and a task complete, made my day! 😊
Glad it helped!
Worked well. Can an extension be added if you needed to make a 7 foot hole? Thanks.
Probably if you can fabricate one…
In par with locally available ones
Good to hear
Wait you mean to tell me that something made in China that costs 1/20th of what it should if it were a real tool, doesn't work all the time¿ I'm so surprised
Not surprising, just letting people know what to expect.
@@adVANturers expecting quality for cheap, from china, is the same as expecting you're actually talking to a girl on the internet. LOL
"We have Dan Bilzerian at home" 😅😂

Any opinions on whether to go with tracks or wheels? Seems like tracks would be more trouble than their worth.
In some ways, but tracks do offer more grip…
You really have to look at what you're doing, tracks rock up and down on un even ground but they don't get stuck ez like tires do, I don't like stuck as much as some guys do
I got tracks. Makes a mess of the soft stuff but i don't get stuck down in the swampy stuff.
bro. i am thinking of doing this, but it would be with heat resistant industrial acrylic from sherwin.
Let me know how it goes!
i almost bought a chinese one then i found the wacker neuson sm60 for 26500 in ga with forks and nice toothed bucket thing is fuel injected and will move 1000 lbs
Nice
Nice work. Am inspired. What are you doing for drainage? Leak prevention?
I have a gray water tank under the van and we did a shower curtain that magnetizes to the shower pan to prevent leakage. It works quite well.

I thought you were going to lift it
Yeah I was really just trying to move it…
@@adVANturers I’m curious to see how how it can lift it. You should post a video of that. Get out a measuring tape too!
With wheels and axel
True…
The problem isn’t the machine.. the problem is you ordering it and expecting results that you know aren’t going to happen… sell it and go to your nearest bobcat dealership and pick up an MT100 😎
Yeah, it isn’t the same caliber of machine… that’s kinda what i’m showcasing…
Where do you order parts from? My starter quit working and I’d like to order a new one
Sorry I don’t know … I’d try to reach out to your manufacturer
I am from China and have 10 years of experience in manufacturing machinery. We have local manufacturers and quality is guaranteed! Very affordable! You can contact me to find out if it's appropriate! Welcome to your arrival🤝
Thanks! Dealership was going to charge me $700 to fix that piece. With your help, less than thirty minutes and $80. Appreciate it.
Glad it helped!
Dude… I just got a mini skid… it’s a Barreto 825. I am going to subscribe to you channel, not only to see your further content, but in solidarity to a fellow UA-camr of similar circumstance.😅
Thanks for the sub! I hope it works great for you!
I have a very similar model. The fittings above the engine leak into the exhaust. Cheap fittings and threads. I spent $5k and you're right, when it works, it's great; but it only works half the time.
Yeah, it’s not an amazing machine, but it does beat doing the work by hand…
Why does it have all the kubota decals???
For fun… it’s has a Kubota engine
Hi, didn't the hydraulic system overheat?
I don’t think so, why do you ask? Does it appear to have?
Thanks. Was pretty easy to replace it.
Glad it helped!
Did you do video on buying the container full
I haven’t yet, I need to get all the footage together for it, it’s in a few different cameras. It’ll be coming out soon.
How did these take after a few weeks.
They’re still looking great!
@adVANturers i did this aswell, great product for this.
how is the capacity test after 2 yrs?
Thanks for asking, still holding strong. I haven’t had any issues at all with it.
Pack rags in it, tap it NPT, then get the tapered pipe thread fitting from a hydraulic supply shop.
Good idea
Put grease on the raga when packing so when you pull out the rags the shavings stick to them
Great video
Thanks
Re-drill & tap to next largest size then use a reducer. This is not rocket science. If your technical skill is insufficient, buy American as it is both built and priced for idiots. repair cost $10 saving on machine $20000.
Obviously it’s a simple fix by doing that, but it shouldn’t come stripped out, and the company warranties it’s product for a year, so it’s worth testing that warranty… and letting everyone know how that goes…
Thank you @adVANturers for the honest updates! I appreciate it.
No need to be an asshole. Just shows how stupid YOU are. The entire world regects our manufactured items because we’re stuck in the ‘cave man’ imperial measuring system. Over priced garbage. Only thing we’re capable of producing and selling are bombs.
There probably going to make you pay shipping, if the even cover the part.
Grease you machine
Thanks
why can’t i take out the two bolts in the back
No idea, sorry
Hallo...greetings from indonesia
Hello to you!
Hey! So this vinyl paint won’t warp the window in the heat right?
It sure shouldn’t. It’s made for vinyl. Most black vinyl windows are just painted black on the outside as well. Nothing special about the big box options.
try drilling in some not so nice soil... curious to how that would go.
I will
