Well I sold the General and bought an excavator. This is a great quality, yet affordable option for homeowners. I will have all kinds of content using this machine around the property. This has a Yanmar Diesel in it, same motor they put in the John Deeres. There will be more of these videos to come, so make sure you subscribe so you can follow along. Thanks for watching!

I like it when sellers understand customers and give them products with flexibility rather than locking you into their company and it's continued success where your SOL if they go out of business.
Great video!!! I watched it and bought at 26 and a roller. Thanks !!
Nice! Congrats
What are all these regular people do for a living for $32,500 to be affordable? I guess compared to a JD or case it’s “affordable.”
Ya theyre not cheap by any means, but definitely less than a Deere or othe name brands. Id say its pretty comparable to a compact tractor price range. Everyone seems to have them now.
You’re right there. I’ve seen people buy those things that like they’re getting out of style.
I just bought an AGROTK L12, at an auction for $4500 plus auctionf fee. If I need something larger, I will just rent it from Preferred Rental. They are absolutely the best and most economical rental company.
Personally, I'd shop around for a "name" brand machine. I see used ones in the 30hp range under 2000 hours form the high to mid-twenties quite often in the Midwest which has higher prices than other areas from looking for the last three years for a machine for my farm. The Chinese excavator's I've seen carry no warranty, and I wonder what the part availably will be in a decade if not sooner when things start to fail.
@@primer50 thats a big reason i went with Kymron. You can upgrade a lot of the parts with name brand if they fail. They also have a one year warranty. I understand your point. I did consider that option but most of the machines i found in that price range were beat on pretty hard.
More companies need to operate like this and stop with the planned obsolescence
Cool to see the development. 811 for all excavation! Thanks for sharing.
personally have a KYMRON XH22D and its been a workhorse for over a year now with 0 problems!
Wow thats great to hear. Glad its been working out for you. Im pretty excited about mine. I strongly considered the 22.
From a professional aspect I would use one. It has several design issues
Congrats!! I have been following K & R for a little bit now. Can’t wait to hear your thought after you get to use it!
You can buy 1 ton class generic Chinese machines similar to this for 4500-7000 with cab, hydraulic thumb and various implements for $4500 to $7000. That's less than the backhoe attachment costs for our tractor and way more useful. You will have to maintain it yourself, but it's built pretty simple like an old oversize lawnmower or a 1950 forklift. Which isn't all bad.
I just bought one to rent. I made a video on that too.
u guys should listen to your government, don’t buy chinese products for national security purposes! u r warned
I've had and still have a bunch of equipment. In 2023 there are no more secrets in excavator design. If these machines are built off of proven platform design with off the shelf parts...chill out. You can source the parts. The only special stuff will be less typically broken parts like the frame, cab, dashboard for gauges and such. JB Weld. Plastic welding. Metal Welding. Some machine shop work. Of course it won't have smart controls that learn your digging style with the joysticks and such...but who care. Learn how to run a machine and stay within its limits. Just hooe nothing overheats or flies apart. If you save 25% in initial cost then if it's 75% as good as the machine you couldn't afford then you've gotten what you should expect. If it's 90% as good and the machines you couldn't afford at 25% more it's a very good value!
In the market myself. Thanks for sharing your experience. Will check them out
Its been a great machine for me so far. Almost 50 hrs already. I have more videos on it as well
I made the same trip, 8 hrs. One way. Great machine, great price. I did a lot of research, for the money kymron is the one to buy.
Ya i agree. Not a fun drive, but worth getting a good machine
Nice looking machine, if I wasn’t so old ide get one
Thanks for this video - can’t wait to see more on this unit. If you like it, I’m 100% buying the 65 hp cab model
So far its been great. Been doing some testing before i make the next video. Should be up in the next week or two. And a bunch more after that.
Good work young man, shout out to Ron.
Looks good, Kyle !!! I am an OKIE.... ha ha born in Kingfisher, OK (you'll have to look that one up on a map...)
I was in Muskogee. Was beautiful country out there. Roads weren’t too great.
Ok got a cheap Chinese brand and yea for light work they are ok but they should spec them out with the stronger upgrades. You can literally buy them mini exc in every state under a different name but all come from the same place over seas!
Ya thats the general theme with the Chinese excavators. Even Kubota uses this exact platform. Look at the u25s. Same machine. Kymron does beef them up with upgraded options.
First thing that’s gonna get ripped off are those hoses flared out by the thumb I’d say that was a poor design
Ya its not a very good design. Im going to be rebuilding the end of the stick soon. Reconfiguring all of it.
It’s to be expected with a new equipment company but the biggest thing is are they going to listen to the criticism and correct those issues over time
Congrats on the excavator purchase! Can't wait to see how you knock the new off of it.
Thanks John! Been having fun with it so far.
Looks ok, but a 310 john deere would work better for you than a mini ex, unless you have a skid loader of some fashion to back it up. Wouldnt trade my 710 for it but thats my thoughts.
You dig the way you want and I will to, at the end of the day I will have a cold coors light for ya, you will have to bring you own keystone. Have fun and be safe.
Hah. Hey Keystone is a Coors product. Thats what i drink when we go out. No one stocks Keystone.
Nice rig. Can't wait to see it dig!
Ive got a new video out on it. Not sure if you e checked that one out.
Congrats, my friend. Hope it works out for ya', and don't forget to grease it!
Super cool video, I've actually started talking to Ron 3 weeks ago and I'm about to finalize my deal on a xh22d
Niice! Thats a nice machine. I was on the fence with that and the 26. I just wanted a little more weight. Ill have more videos with upgrades.
@SpicerDesignsLLC Awesome I can't wait to see what these machines can actually do
Nice machines! Congratulations
My wife is not watching this, otherwise she'll want one.
There are pretty handy. She sounds like a cool wife.
@@SpicerDesignsLLC when we first met, I gave her a chainsaw for Christmas. That was 23 years ago. Congrats on your new toy, er tool.
Great purchase!
Should have looked into sany sy26u same price 5 year warranty and they do 300 mile round trip warranty work no charge
The Sanys are nice. I did look at them as an option.
Looks good, sounds like you will put it to good use.
I definitely will. Ive already been knocking out some clearing in the woods.
Knocking down trees with those thing is fun, I spent quite a bit of time in a 50 ton case yanking stumps out
Great video mate!
Big problem I see for me is I do not live near Oklahoma.
Ya that is definitely an obstacle. I drove 10 hours to pick it up. Didnt want to leave it in the trailer at a hotel so turned around and drove right back home. Sleeping on exit ramps. Sucked. They do have shipping companies available. Pretty expensive though.
I rented a deere 26g last week Loved it. Much more efficient than my kioti tlb
Thats the comparable machine. Pretty good size and you can still tow it. They do make quick work of projects.
@@SpicerDesignsLLC lot of power and speed at idle. Finished excavating a basement 24'*44' that I started with my tractor, built a rock / boulder wall with material that I excavated, and cleaned up some brush / logs at home into my dump trailer. In 1 week. AND easy to tow! Enjoy your new machine!
Nice! Never heard of them. If my 580 ever bites the dust I may give that big boy a look! Now go dig a hole and fill it back in...I know that's the first thing you did.
Hah. Pretty much. I dug up a couple stumps. It was fun
Just buy a yanmar, it's a better machine
@@thetrutha2177 no shit! fork over the extra 20k for a yanmar and ill get one. Its for homeowner use. Thats the point. Youve trolled on 3 comments in one video. No ones telling you to buy one.
Where did you get the Hitchfrom what to gauge you know
Its solid aluminum. I have links in the description with a discount code
Great video's, so glad you bought one made in America, thank you so much for that.
Glad you liked the video. Well its an american company thats speccing and selling them but these machines are made in China. I dont know of any mini excavators made in America. Cat might be. Idk
Oh ok, well I still love your video's.@@SpicerDesignsLLC
@@12341walkman I appreciate that. Im all about made in America but sometimes its hard to find.
Cat are made in Mexico
Now I need to get you a track cleaning tool!! Looking forward to more videos on this!
Can you deliver one for me. Only 7.5 hours. I can make one with the plasma table right.
@@SpicerDesignsLLC but why would you want to make one?
I dont. I want you to drive it out here on Adams Ebike.
@@SpicerDesignsLLC I’ll pack my backpack
Thanks for making and sharing this video! Did you mention the cost? I missed it.
I didnt in this video. I did leave all the website info in the description which shows pricing on all the different models. I did just upload a new video this morning where i give pricing on my machine.
Wow,, nice for you.
Nice machine!!!
Thanks! You can try it out when your over next weekend
Looks like a nice machine
Ya it really is. Ive been using it quite a bit the last couple days. Its been great.
Congratulations!👍🏻
Thank you!
That is nice!!
Hell yea ! Nice Get to work
I just went over and checked out the excavators on the site they looked very stout can’t wait to see you put it through it’s paces. Very affordable too. With that said a video with out the keystone girl and no keystone yikes lol prob gona lose some viewers bud 🤣🤣 catch u on the next one
Ya theyre pretty nice for the price. She couldnt make the trip. Shes busy with the girls with all the sports stuff. Hard to get her in all the videos. Shell be back soon
Haha yea no worries I totally get the busy life style I have two girls of my own my wife n I heads are always on a swivel
I'm currently in the process of deciding between two different mini excavators: the one you acquired from Kymron and the BH40 offered by Groundhog. I'm curious to know if you are entirely satisfied with your 26D model. Thanks for your input, and I appreciate your skill and sense of humor.
Ive been very happy with the Kymron. They are very professional and easy to work with. I know Kymron and Groundhog are basically doing the same upgrades to the machines. The xh42d is basically the same unit. I might upgrade to that one next year. Good luck with your purchase
I’ve seen the groundhog matching and they are beefed up a lot more than these. And the upgrade groundhog has standard. They are you best value over the other that try sell them cheap and not up to par
@@skoalbanditskoal kymron and groundhog are doing the same thing to the Chinese machines. The two owners used to work together. Groundhogs are nice machines as well. I had a great experience with Kymron and preferred working with them instead. Ive done a ton of research on both brands and have some good inside info as well.
I bought a groundhog 2 years ago and I'm very happy with it. I have the KH14G. my only complaint is that i wish the controls were a little less choppy, but for the price, it digs well.
Not to mention, Nick is a super honest and respectable guy. He is straightforward, and that is a very rare quality.
Everyone freaks out when they see the cost of gas in Oklahoma! That's what it should cost all across the US!
He was reacting to the name of the gas station, not the price.
Sweet toy! Doesn't fill it up with fuel? Cheapskate 😂
Can't wait to sww what trouble you get into with it. Don't hit the house this time. 😅😅
Hah. Ya that was a bad experience hitting the house. 5 gallons fills it up so it wasn’t too bad. Ive been knocking shit out already.
So , is this machine a Chain drive from the hydraulic motor to the tracks ?
I dont think so. I believe the hydraulic motor is in the track. Theres a housing attached to the sprocket.
Did he say how much it was
He has pricing on all his machines on the website. Link is in the description. Ill have a video this Sunday with the full overview and some testing. Ill talk about pricing as well.
For $30k they should have filled the fuel tank, geewhizz.
They were going to. I told him not to worry about it. Only 6 gallons or so. They helped me out with the extra buckets i got so i was happy. I hear ya though.
@@SpicerDesignsLLC I see, that's good to know. That's a very nice piece of equipment for the price. Great video.
@@nazihater2798 thank you! Its been great so far. Almost have 50 hours on it already.
Congratz on the new equipment... does that blade have independent vertical controls to cut lower on either side? Really helps with carving swales. 👍🍻
Thanks! And no it doesn not. Just straight and and down.
Nice! so whats going to be your first bucket attachment?
Probably a rake. Going to build one on the plasma machine. Should be a fun project and useful tool.
@@SpicerDesignsLLC I’ll be waiting for that!
when you load heavy on the trailer - put it as front as you can.
Sorry, thats not a good idea. I have a hitch that measures tongue weight so i can distribute the weight perfectly. Supposed to be 10-15% of the gross trailer weight. Not sure if you watched the whole video but i went over all that.
3 seconds in and you fall. Lol. I’m very interested in the review.
Hah. Its become a thing. Stupid, but….kinda funny. Yes should be a good series with the new excavator. Ill be going over the specs and testing it out.
@@SpicerDesignsLLC I don’t think it’s stupid. It’s actually like your trade mark. I’ve been pricing and weighing the pros and cons on the mini excavator. All the name brands are good but higher than giraffe who who. I’ve never heard of this brand but if the price is right and parts are plentiful it is a contender. Plus Oklahoma is not too far for me.
@@jasongrinnell1986 thats the way i felt about it. Name brand motor. Its definitely built solid. Im going to make a couple of upgrades to it but overall ill happy so far. Its hard to justify $60k for a machine thats just getting used on you property.
@@SpicerDesignsLLC Wait you are saying it’s hard to justify a 60k machine? Just how much does this machine cost?
@@jasongrinnell1986 about half the price of the major brands. They have all their pricing on that website if you want to check out what the different models cost.
What did that dealership open like a week earlier? Was the concrete even dry?
Hes been open for a while. They are a newer company. They were at a different location before.
@@SpicerDesignsLLC It would be really good customer relations to fill the fuel tank with a new machine purchase instead of the 'sorry buddy' response....jeesh.
@@funone8716 i hear ya. Luckily it only takes 5 gallons and he gave me a great price because i have it on the channel. Im sure he would have if in asked but no big deal. But i get where your coming from.
what was the cost?
I have a new video with the cost of my machine. I also have a link the description for the website that shows all the pricing on all the different models.
Bomb shelter in the corner of the shop?
Not a bad idea. I have a little bathroom in the corner if thats what you asking. There have been a few bombs dropped in there.
@@SpicerDesignsLLC lol. Looks like a NadoPod from Atlas Survival
Are you talking about the laser engraver in the corner? White and black?
Зплипуха китайская какая то. Один плюс, новая)
what is the discount code?
I dont have a discount code for the excavators. No affiliate with Kymron
Your thumbnail says Affordable. Your title says Finally an excavator homeowners can Afford, but you never say how much it was….thanks for that! This is why I clicked on it, I thought for sure you would say what you paid for it. 🙄
Did you look at the description of the video where I referred everyone to? It has a link to the website that has all the pricing for all the different models. I provided all the info as advertised. And i posted a video this morning where i say the pricing of my machine. 🙄
@@SpicerDesignsLLC so why go through all that trouble of pinning and posting?? Why not just say the price in the video? That’s what viewers wanna hear, that’s why they clicked on the video. Viewers are expecting you to say how much you paid for it according to the way you titled the video. 🙄🙄
@BoonesMountain i gave the information. And because they have like 10 models. Im not going to go through the pricing on every machine. Just click the damn website and move on buddy. Lighten up.
But do you realize how long and tiring it is to set down my beer, click on the link and wait half a second to see pricing with all the options? Seriously people, I prefer the link so when I hit the button a year from now I get current pricing, not year ago pricing on one model.
@@chrisbird1870 good point!
for a new machine, when the hood was raised, whats up with all the dust ?, it looks like it has been used already, was this a used machine ?. as for it being china built ?, yeah..i'll stick with a shovel over china any day..lol. but good luck with it !.
The clip of the engine was after i had used it for a week. I realized i didnt have any footage of the engine. Go to town with that shovel. Its probably made in China. Ill bet over half of everything you own is made in china. Not sure what your point is here.
@@SpicerDesignsLLC oh i agree, everything is made in china here in usa !. i was just pointing out why dust was on the engine area when it was in the dealerships show room floor ?, looked like it was used before you purchased is all. i'm sure it will save you many hours of digging no doubt. i have no grudge against the machine itself, i am just big on china junk in our nation is all. we need to put american's back to work, screw china.
I agree with you as well. Its overtaken the American market. That engine shot was in my shop after i had brought it home and used it a bit. When i was editing that video i wanted and overlay of the engine as i talked about it so i ran out to the shop and took that shot. It was purchased as a brand new machine. Was clean when i got it. I can see how that came off kind of odd.
@@SpicerDesignsLLC no worries, it's all good 🙂.
LOL your an idiot everting is made in china.
Good luck getting that serviced anywhere. 😆
I service my own shit
I have a 26 and its easy to work on, its actually easier to deal with than a brand name machine.
@@MarkLane-vi8qj thats good to hear. I actually saw a kubota this morning and it was the identical machine. Ill find the model and share it in the next excavator video
Video should be marked as an advertisement
Its not. Just sharing info on a brand a lot of people havent heard of. Have you heard of Kymron before watching this video?
The owner of KYMRON look like he doesn’t know anything about he own michenes👀
He actually pretty damn successful and very knowledgeable of all these machines. Ive picked his brain quite a bit and hes on it.
@@SpicerDesignsLLC really? and he couldn't even fill the diesel tank of the new excavator that a client just bought from her?
@@pr4lviper he actually did. He had me pull over to the tank to fill it up after i got it loaded. He keeps the fuel tanks away from the building. He said it takes forever to fill them up because them move so slow. So he just has customers pull over once loaded.
Oh, the title was misleading, it should’ve been “that millionaire homeowners can afford”, my bad.
Sounds like you need to work harder.
@@SpicerDesignsLLC guess so
Welp, seems like this was all a big misunderstanding. UA-cam did its thing and I blamed Kyle for it.
-Well, OK. I understand. I really like your videos. But deleting my comment doesn't make it invalid. It just shows, how you deal with critique. As I already wrote: I don't know, if you're aware. Now I know.-
Im not sure what your talking about. What comment? What video?
@@SpicerDesignsLLC Do you enjoy our little dance? I can say this: You win - you're the guy handling the chopping block. And I really don't want to have beef with you or make you angry. I *really* enjoy your content. But this one is a whoopsy.
I did not delete that comment. I swear. I agree with what your saying. It is a china machine that they alter and sell here. I believe the motors are different or better. I only delete comments that are hurtful or inappropriate toward my wife. That same thing has happend to me before when i commented on Hometown Acres. It wouldnt even let me respond to that last comment you sent.
I had to respond to your first comment again. There might be a keyword in there that UA-cam is knocking it off.
I just refreshed my comments and it deleted it again. Its not me doing it.
Ok for less than 30 I can buy a big name used one with decades of sales and customer support or yea buy off name one. But your unknown name brand you don’t have dealers with your equipment it sounds like so every time someone has major issues and have to send it to you what is that cost plus repair half the value but I buy cheap china brand for what 15000 brand new and some of those do have big name motor so parts aren’t hard to find and even china parts are not to hard either. I’m in farm country I have 4 shops to fix anyone one and would deliver to them or they come out and do the work at location and some times that is most 2 day wait. So to be honest until you get a name and location or dealer near me I’ll rather buy used for my needs or if I want new I wanna buy china brand cuz don’t know your build just like I don’t know the china build but with one I could save 10’s of thousands on it
Im not sure what name brand machine you referring to under 30k. Im curious because i couldnt find a 3 ton name brand machine new. Im not the dealer, i just bought one. Im not trying to sell them to anyone, im just sharing information about it because i have a platform to do so. The Kymron has been great for me and they are opening two dealers in the midwest. But yes, they dont have the dealers and support like the name brands.
Why are you always falling down in your videos - seems really unnecessary
It is unnecessary
@@SpicerDesignsLLC Then what’s the point?
@@michaelmohney348 there is no point
I dont get it. This guy is talking down in chinese machines... but he is buying the exact same machine and just having them put his label on them.
I dont understand what your saying here. But yes these are rebranded chinese machines. They upgrade the pumps, drives, spool valves, counter weights, ect. Not sure what your point is here.
I don’t go down the idiot rabbit hole when price isn’t mentioned but affordabe is in the title...
It says "Affordable" not "Price". An idiot would leave a comment like this without looking at all the information provided. I said in the video the info is in the description. Im not going to spend 10 minutes of the video going over pricing on the the different models and options they offer. That's why I left the website link which shows all the pricing. And it's pinned in the comments which makes it even easier. Pay attention Mark!
Boy you really know how to drag out a video. Btw 32k isn’t affordable for us normies
Your welcome to start your own channel and show me how to do it. I work hard for what i have. Anyone can do it.
If i buy a unassembled chainsaw from CHINA and assemble it in the US does it really make the quality better?
That would be a question for Kymron. Im just sharing info about the excavator i purchased. More than half of what you own is made in China my friend.
@@SpicerDesignsLLC yes so much CHINA and some stuff is really good quality it looks nice good luck!
@@sacongo1624 ya we’ll see. Time will tell.
somehow every single video these days plays Rap..... wtf?
I play country, bluegrass and rock too in my videos. The great thing is that you can play whatever music you want on your channel. Im not sure what your point is here Ken.
why does the muzic have to suck so hard?
Cause i new you wouldnt like it. Ive been trying to find a song that everyone would like. Im not sure that song exists.
word@@SpicerDesignsLLC
Just to correct something he said about the name brand Yanmar engine. Just had the suction control valve go out on my 4TNV98 Yanmar and had to order it from .........Germany. Nobody makes and keeps parts stateside, not even the "name brand." It costs more to warehouse parts in the USA than any other country on earth. Also the weigh safe is the biggest piece of garbage ever made.
Damn, arent you a bundle of joy. My motor is the 3tnv80f. Not sure if its any different. Ill have to do more research on parts availability. I love the hitch. Works great for me. Maybe you had one of their first generations, idk. Its better quality than anything else ive seen or had.
Your an idiot, There are tons of parts for YANMAR with a quick online search, I order them and re sell them to idiots like you all the time that are too lazy to look. lol
Chinese excavator lol.
Good observation. Same place wacker neuson makes the john deere minis and right over in Japan is where theyre making Kubota.
@@SpicerDesignsLLC doesn't matter, the designs, materials, tolerances, and specificstions are different. That's the same argument that different oils are the same because they're refined in the same plant. people
Different animals... some plants are a 3rd party and the manufacturers contract them to build. They build what is contracted.
@@kaoz250f1 i never said it did matter. Bottom line is i dont have $60k to spend on an equivalent popular brand machine just to use on my 10 acre lot. If something breaks ill fix it. I guess i dont know what the point of your first comment was. More than half the stuff we own is made in China. Its got a Yanmar diesel, parts are available and its an american company thats profiting from them. Yes it is a budget machine.
@@SpicerDesignsLLC I saw the Chinese excavator and and thought of the budget stuff I've broken and seen others break. Didn't mean to come off as a troll. Sorry about that. I hope everything works out.
chinese …….
As stated in the video… that is correct
u should listen to your government, don’t buy chinese products for national security purposes! u r warned
so never explained how it's affordable at all. so you lie
Look at the website links i left in the description. They have like 10 models. Im not going to go though the pricing on every model. And i posted a new video today with the pricing on my machine. Dont accuse people of lying until you look at all the info that was provided. Not cool Sarah. Otherwise i hope you enjoyed the video.
He list their website up top? you must be blind
Yeah, if you notice people that say the normal people are average people can now afford their own excavator at 32,500 has a quarter million dollar house $100,000 garage and another half million dollars in toys I’m sure people like you can’t afford 32,500 for a freaking personal excavator so on out of touch with reality
What the hell are you talking about? My house cost way more than that. Its cheaper than name brand. Thats my point. And they have cheaper models too. Your out of touch with your numbers. Ignorant comment Paul. Have a beer and calm down.
