@sunbear1973 Good thoughts. It's kinda funny how it goes sometimes. I saw some mini grapples in a batch of 3 go for 1200 each. 3 months earlier saw a couple go for 350. I didn't bid on any as I wasn't really in the market. Lol. There's money to be had buying and selling the stuff. Just not really what I want to do. It was definitely a learning auction. Just probably not the right time. Cheers!

@natsterlive OK, Thanks for info. I'll be taking that into consideration on the next round. CRAZY thing was 2 trenchers just like the mini. Same set up everything, except it was for a bigger skid plate. Those 2 went for $800

@johnellenburg2297 Thanks!!! At that time with the track I was having alignment issues and for whatever reason the tracks liked to be like that. If I had them both forward the one side would slip. Made no sense. I have new Tracks now. Haven't noticed that issue anymore.

I think so to, hoping to get a couple attachments with more flow demand to see how the CRT23 does. Cheers

@TheJBros520 Super, Ill check it out! Thanks 🙂

@harveyterr Thanks, should have some good stuff coming up!!

@TheJBros520 keep up pls ive got same machine

@harveyterr 2025!! Excited!!! We got so much testing and dialing in on the CRT23 to play with!!

@@59apachestepside The one I am bidding on has no info. So kinda a blind purchase and hope it works....I can't find the info on it. I should've looked closer when there. Kinda like trencher no info

@TheJBros520 good luck. Worst case is that it won’t have enough flow to get it really spinning in hard soil but I’m sure you’d be able to sell it for more than it ends up going for at auction

@59apachestepside I know as this coming season is here and I accumulate more attachments. I will figure out this whole pump operation. So I'm excited to deep dive into what's next and possible for the CRT23.

@@natsterlive Of course!!! Thanks for the knowledge as always!!! What's a good price on these winches!!! I want one, just want to get a steal on one. Lol

@natsterlive 15,000lbs hydraulic winch. Current bid 130.00 whats a real good deal on something like that?

@TheJBros520 I paid $1300 cad

@@natsterlive OK, that puts it in perspective. I'll watch this one thru.

@wayneruckley7346 Nice!!! I really want to try one but was skeptical. Thanks for insight!

@normhowes2975 Thanks, hopefully I'll get some experimental equipment

@HandyLawnandTreeCareLLC I'll track the link down for you of it running. Not on this machine but one similar. I'm confident it would on the CRT23.

ua-cam.com/video/6hsainYSPO4/v-deo.htmlsi=7yZjSYeWwEovFwYz This is a 3 pump. I'm pretty sure the CRT23 would achieve this.

@TheJBros520 thanks!

@normhowes2975 Thanks for the sub!! It just saves in so many ways... tight spots, detailed finishing, still can lift a bit. Versatility is the key, I lift and shovel way less. I hope one finds your way and is as invaluable as mine has been...I'm going to do another pros/cons video. Like a what's next chapter. As I pretty much figured out the machine. Now I'm wanting to take it to the next level. I just bought a stump drill bit and will do a video on that. It's for a excavator so I need it to manufacture it for my skid. Cheers more fun to come!!

@bretthays2674 Arnold Deluxe Universal Snow Cab. Part #490-241-0032. About $120.00 i got a video of the install

@@bassthis For snow sure it could be bigger. For both dirt and snow. It's max imo

Thanks

@bassthis Anytime!!

@@ericavenarius5370 The heat kinda trickles up there, 😆

@@sunbear1973 Thanks!!, just put out a snow moving video. Cold but fun

@@tigertoilet2 I've been ok with it. Doesn't hurt anything. I just need to get it heavy field tested!!

@JDJD-tq1ct I have not. I always run 91+ fuel guess that my cautious side. Just want to try be sure i don't get bad gas.

@TheJBros520 Gotcha. I'm trying to see if there is a mixture adjustment on the carb. Plugs are black so she seems to be rich. Thanks

@JDJD-tq1ct Wish I knew more on that. Touch out of my league.

@TheJBros520 no prob... thanks anyway.

Sorry could you clarify your fan adjustments you made. If your set up is money I will do your way. Different Fan? Assuming Reversing? Adding a Fan? Thanks bud!! or post a photo

@TheJBros520 The 10" fan is made in Australia and, of course, made for automobiles. It has 6 blades with a better pitch. I held my hand behind the stick swirly blade looking fan that came with my chine and the only air I could feel came out the outsides of the fan. After installing the new fan (approx. $60) I held my hand behind it and it was pulling like a hurricane from any area of the fan. I've had no problem with my CHINA battery so far..... what a world of difference in cooling. I hear people talk about reversing the fan to blow upwards and I would never do this as all the engine heat would go towards the hydraulic radiator. The Part # 0147 ( 10" Slimline Fan -12V is made by Davies,Craig. It also carries a 2 year warranty. Mounting feet included and bolted right up to my mounts even using the stock fan hardware. I believe all of out machines use the 10" fans. It was a gamble and it paid off. NOT perfect but a lot better than that stock fan.......CFM> 696/ AMPS>7.0/ WEIGHT 2.5 lbs. www.daviescraig.com.au

@@USMC-Sniper-0137 Thanks!!

Dude!! I love your comments!!! I will continue to learn, I feel some much more educated than the newbie I was. Thanks a lot bud!!! I'll have more stuff we can try sort out together!!!

@wayneruckley7346 Thanks!!! I just feel If I would have started with the knowledge I have now with the CRT23. I don't really see much for major cons because they are all very correct able with a bit of time. Cheers

@nugget183 Check my channel for parts video have it there. I gotta get better at linking more stuff in the description. I got it written down, I'll try shoot it to you later.

@@billmissey6153 I haven't seen any for a while as well.

@billmissey6153 After all fees 7.2k 9 months ago in Minnesota at auction

I have the exact same machine and paid 3500.00 from an Auction a couple of months ago here in Alabama

I just don't have my video game reflexes anymore!!!! I'm blaming it on that!!!

With my bigger bucket it basically floats, but I don't know about installing something

@bassthis Custom bucket from Top Dog Attachments, i paid 1k. I might add fans, being i know way more about the machine this season. I'm going to start looking into doing add ons.

@whatchath385 Material repairs about $200 dollars. Labor to fix stuff has been my own time. Tracks in total. Sitting on a brand new one now. 1k. Upgrades like bucket, 4-1, Forks, Auger about 3k.

@TheJBros520 Wow! Ok. Thanks.

@nugget183 Thanks was there anything I missed or you would like clarification on?

@@robertbloomquistsr6351 Cheers!

@acousticrocks7542 Cool!! I'll look into that!!! Appreciate the perspective on size. I might just purchase the heavy duty springs and see there like $30/each. Right on of beefing up the bolts!! Good catch!! You got my curiosity up, on possible tweaks. Cheers.

Hey bud! Them rubber boot things worked great, I'll drop a quick video later today. Pretty interesting how it came together. I need probably 2 more springs to get the desired ride for my weight or stronger springs, I believe. Cheers!

@@dustinsaraharnold9489 Thanks!!

@mattharmony88 Thanks, I was able to pressure fit the rubber boots on worked great!! I might need to add 1 more spring for my weight but overall it came together good!!

That's the plan and the longer bolt! Should be golden! Thanks!

@jeffreybattles5705 Thanks!! Not sure how necessary it is but I'll see.

@@USMC-Sniper-0137 That fatigue mat kinda helps for that material flying around. Thanks again!!

For sure!!! I think I was just running out of steam. It was a long day. That rubber boot was about 3/8 inch thick, new bolt would add half inch in length. I'll try those 2 maneuvers first. Least it's a very adaptable concept. Cheers!!

Awesome!!! I'm glad it was easy to understand and helpful!!

Absolutely, hopefully the pros/cons video helps answer as many questions as possible, for a new buyers prospective. Cheers

I think, imo the CRT23 checks all the boxes. Some quick Tips for you. I will do a Full video of the pros and cons for you and others. I'm a visual learner. Help you see in full what I mean. Hopefully I can get something out to you in the next couple days. Cheers CONS Easy IMO First step maintenance you need to take to help insure longevity. Swap Fluids early, preventative Check grind Idlers to help longer life in your track Understanding they didn't put the best track on from factory If your going to lift big as I am you need to do weld supports Get a bigger bucket it unlocks mind blowing capabilities ---- Do the welds if you do get a bigger bucket. PROS CRT23 Does everything and more I've asked it to do. Reliability Detailed overviews walking you step by step what to watch for, I didn't have these. It's the one I would buy again in the 3.5k-6k range. Drive pumps are High Platform is great height Ground Clearance under skid is great

I'd say on initial purchase of the CRT23, I'd say there is a good 8 hours of flaws to them unit to be addressed. Then next issue is how long are you able to make the original track work. But you will get way more life out of the original track if you take care of grinding the idlers which is really 1 hour project. After that it's honestly day to day normal maintenance. Engine itself, if I didn't know better with my battery going low, i was checking my starter. I probably have a total of 4 hours of oil, hydraulic oil, clean the filters etc in 100+ hours. Track a bit different as there was no content for me to learn off of and a newbie to tracks and equipment. Figuring out the tracks and system I do have a fair amount of time. Plus as a guy that wanted people to avoid my issues I tried to get my learning curve out as much as possible to people. If I picked up another new one today. I'd laugh at what little stuff I need to do. They do make 30-40k Mini skids out there to buy as well. I have about 12k into mine with 5 attachments. The chinsese minis aren't without there limitations. I'd take 3-4 of these in my fleet versus 1 Big name. or 1 chinese mini use it how it should be used and comp that with a used 30k used big skid your golden.

I bent it back by pushing down on the bucket, you might need to put a 6x6 under your bucket to achieve that if you have original bucket. No spacers added, just the metal strap welded there which I pulled back together with 2 pipe clamps. Let me know if that helps.

Yes, swapped all the pie looking ones or whatever to standard 1/4 inch zerks. I just bought a kit so I didn't screw up plus I needed others. www.amazon.com/Neiko-50463A-Hydraulic-Fitting-Straight/dp/B0020MRLV2?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&gQT=2&th=1

I ordered this set but the threaded side is not the correct size for the female side in the machine. It's in between 1/4 and 1/8

@907sb8 none worked

@TheJBros520 no. I ordered a metric set that includes m6,m8, and m10. Hopefully the m8 will work

@natsterlive Thanks for the info!!! I'd probably be like you. I'd just add to my fleet!!! CRT23 and I have a special bond!!! 😆 price looks good on those!!! I can just see from the layout why you like that. You get yours via auction? I see this Davis Auto Sales has one for 8k

@TheJBros520 I bought the LRT at auction for $5800, and both my diggit 850's on market place for $4800 and $3700. One is a yellow 2024 with black arms and one is a 2023 red with black arms. Both units are not the same inside. 2024 uses all soft lines inside, 2023 uses all hard lines. I prefer soft lines. Stay away from diggit 850's that are yellow with yellow arms from 2022. They are a mess inside and don't work right. I feel the same way about my LRT as you do about the CRT. The first skid steer to a man that works hard is a special thing.

@natsterlive Thanks for extra info!!. CRT23 will kinda be my put all the extras on.
