    I cannot believe how many negative comments you've received. Obviously a lot of these negative comments those people have never owned or operated one of these Chinese machines. I just bought a 2000 lb Chinese machine 2 days ago, and I am so impressed with it . I've had too many family members come over and run it for about 10 minutes, and now they're going to get one I got mine for 4200

    given what you know now from your experience buying, waiting, importing fees, and minor repairs on the excavator would you do it again? was there money saved? was it worth the extra hassle? and would that be offset if in the future you sell and recover some of the cost? for example paid the $25K waited..... few hassles used to build the house resold it for $20K in a year

      I mean the majority of parts are going to be off the shelf components so great for people that diy repairs. You can swap out the motor for anything remotely similar (a motorcycle engine would be a killer swap in) in a couple hours. Imo better for repairs than something like cat where everything even bolts are proprietary.

    • @JGoodwin
      @JGoodwin Рік тому +3

      @@einarmikkelsenPNW hogging with a digging machine is a slang way of saying you stick the digger into the material like it's already loose, grabbing full buckets in one go. The advice I received is that you should use the bucket and teeth to break up the soils in smaller passes, then grab broken dirt with the bucket to move it. One thing I noticed about this strategy is that it's less likely for the bucket to create a vacuum against the material. I think it's also less stress against the joints which reduces wear on the bushings.
