- Getting to the bottom of where these machines are made and who actually makes them isn’t an easy task. I have located the manufacturer and have a factory tour to share with you.
I ordered my machine from Dean Sun at Derette on Alibaba. Click here to see the machine I bought and contact Dean. Let him know how you found him.

I gotta tell ya man, these Chinese factory can make anything at your budget level, if you can get to them direct without our middlemen, you will not only save a lot of money, but really get what you want for the job.
Doesn't matter if it is software or manufacturing. The middlemen steal everything.
Chinese factories value relationship more than you think. You 'may' be able to bypass the middlemen and get a better price provided you have the volume. End of the day don't blame China when your border control imposes insane tax on your purchases haha.
So true. And they can even customize them for you for little cost.
Buying directly from the manufactures, that's why the internet commerce is more developed in China, and why the prices are low, because the consumers don't pay for the dealers and shopping malls.
@@一个说话大声的中国人that’s true.
Impressive to see how open this manufacturer is, nothing to hide.
I agree! I was super impressed. He has sent me a lot of detail on the machines.
Honestly one of the more concerning things when it comes to the future of Chinese industry versus Western. The west is so concerned with IP nonsense, proprietary ecosystems, and locking down everything, while CN is making increasingly high quality and much more open/well documented/repairable machinery. West could learn from Chinese industry, even just in attitude to the customer.
There is truth to that. Hurts to admit. If every salesman was as attentive as Dean was on this machine, the world would be a better place!
These are commodity machines now, all you need is a big enough CNC plasma, brake, and hydraulic parts bin and you have 95% of the job sorted. Domestic equipment manufacturers are sleepwalking, pretending their special sauce is a vastly better product when most of it is sales and marketing. We can still build world class product but it takes passion and vision beyond the next quarter's results and that is not as common as we need it to be.
@@sansbury95agreed.
This man from the factory wws very humble and down to earth! It does look like they make a quality product! There in no manufacturer here in the states that makes this type of equipment!
Agreed. And if someone did make machines like that here, we couldn’t afford them. lol
The guys at the factory really know how to use their floor space.
Haha that’s true!
Thanks for the video. I have a few thousand hours in Bobcats but maybe 8-10 hours on the stand behind model. This company looks like they make a very high quality series of machines.
Thanks for putting this together.
Thank you. I appreciate the comments!
Wow =,,, real engineers and real work!!!, not office stuff pushing paper like me!
well, someone has to push them papers :P
I also push papers in my day job. Well, more conference calls and meetings than papers. Lol
They look very well made you chose well
Thank you. I like it. So far it’s awesome.
Keep em coming. I’m excited to learning more about the process and the machine. Thank you for all your time spent putting these videos together. God bless
Awesome, I’m glad you find value in them. I’m kinda having fun doing them. lol
thanks for introducing this factory. there are 100 factories like these in china, and they will eat one another until the best of the best is left. i appreciate you take the time to appreciate the details instead of knocking china manufacturing, and it is manufacturing. not just piecing together and branding as many service industries do.
The manufacturing process is very intriguing.
They really are just piecing these together and painting them though... Outside fabricators cut/bend panels that are 1:1 copies of other brands, Honda/Kobuto engines, "Italian" valves.... I don't see any significant engineering or fabrication happening here. I think the claims they build 5-Ton excavators are dubious from what I see in this video.
🇨🇳=GOOD
🇺🇸=BAD
your community=🤡
@@MetapharsicalI sure do appreciate your feedback! Looks like they piece them together from different areas and parts from all over. Either way, I like my machine quite a bit and could have never been able to afford an American unit. Shoot, the maintenance alone on a used one is the cost of one of these. 🤷♂️
@@Metapharsical
So whats wrong with that? building ya own CHASIS from pre cut / cast blocks , while other assemblies are frm other manufacturer ? and lastly giving the equipment a BRAND name of ya own.
What SIGNIFICANT ENGINEERING ya want to see ? or FABRICATION ?
@@ulooqulg do I need to point out all the problems caused by China's fraudulent business practices?
The whole country is one big Potemkin Village , meant to lure in foreign investment. That's the way China's export-driven economy functions.
Chinese , thanks to their corrupt gov mismanagement , have been dirt poor for generations , they barely sustain their domestic markets/products.
Chinese will not soon forget the domestic poisoned-milk scandal, and many others... Anyone but the most fervent Wumao will tell you..foreign product is synonymous with quality, and avoid Chinese product whenever possible.
What we need to understand is that the Chinese have developed all the skills required to make a good quality machine now. The ordinary Chinese people are hardworking and enterprising and they have succeeded despite their government autocrarcy. I have found out that they are mostly trust worthy business partners. They have learned from the Americans well.
The salesman I bought my machine from has probably the best customer service I have ever encountered.
Chinese government is just as hard-working and humble as the individuals, it's cultural.
Any stigma you have against them is due to MSM prop. You can learn more even on youtube through channels like Jerry's take on China.
Or just go visit China and find the truth for yourself, it will absolutely change your mind.
@baichuanren885 yes and channels like inside china business opened my eyes to china.
Chinese government is actually good at leading their people to good lives
You must not know anyone from modern day China
Nice Video! How funny when you wave the worker that in assembly line 😂
Haha that made me laugh as well. Thanks George.
LOL, I like you're little weatherman ride along during the video.
And that's a nice factory they have, plenty of space, and the welds on that steel look VERY GOOD. Very impressive!
Such a nice tour of the Derette factory
I was impressed. Very cool
Thanks for the video, I enjoy your detailed videos thanks
Thank you. I appreciate it the feedback.
Great video. I want one for my land. Had a hoarder and squatters.
Thank you. I appreciate it. It’s awesome.
Sorry to hear about the squatter and hoarder.
Great video! Thanks for sharing this. As someone who has relatives that own one of these machinery factories in Shandong, your video brings back memories of me driving one of these unpainted loaders around the industrial park. 😆
It’s fascinating to see two groups of down-to-earth people on different continents finding their way through e-commerce and making/buying loaders. One commonality they share is that they don’t talk in fancy words; they get shit done.
Awesome man. Thank you for the kind words. I really appreciate it. Dean seems like a great guy and has been super helpful to me throughout the whole process and after sales as well.
Very cool factory tour.
These look to be very well made machines, with the superb Honda and Kubota engines.
The company representative seems to be quite rightly proud of the machines they manufacture in their spacious, clean and well configured facilities.
Their openness and transparency is conducive to building respect and trust with their customers.
Great video, thank you for sharing.
Really nice factories.
Pretty cool tour
Thanks for the vids. You've got me interested in the 450 like yours.
So far, I recommend getting one. It seems amazing. I’ll keep using it and see what I can learn about reliability and longevity.
Thanks for the feedback.
Awesome video, thank you
Thanks. I appreciate it.
I didn't see manufacturing lines with workers producing parts or assembling already made parts. One worker was doing welding for the arms. The arms were sent out for powder-coating. More could be done in another building. Looking forward to your next upload where the laser cutting is done.
Agreed. Lots more done besides in that room. I did upload another video with a tour of a different factory where they use the laser cutter. It’s interesting for sure.
Great little machines, kicking goals with those honda/kubota engines, Thats the winning deal maker right there , and to top it off with Italian made valve body, Derette have certainly done there homework, im impressed, good stuff,
Excellent video. Quality looks awesome.
Thanks. I appreciate it.
Buying directly from the manufactures, that's why the internet commerce is more developed in China, and why the prices are low, because the consumers don't pay for the dealers and shopping malls.
So true
Agree, great equipment factory I've seen. I did enjoy this tour video.
Thank you for sharing. Blessings from San Diego. ❤
Thanks. I appreciate the feedback
Yes...thank your....thank yur bye bye.
Great video tour and the details and the time he took to video the whole facility was quite informative.
Haha yeah it was awesome he sent me so many videos. I like this one. I also like the one where he shows the machine that cuts them. That’s next.
Thank you, I appreciate it.
As always, another great and informative video. Thanks for all that you do sir!
Thank you. I appreciate it.
I've always been fascinated with these Chinese factories. It's as if they are all genius's, but with a lot of limited resources...working together to produce whatever products they see people want. They make a platform machine, open source parts, that you can afford at an entry price. You have to then go back over it and replace the cheap components such as switches and knobs. It's like a Jeep. You buy it, then replace the crappy mopar v6 with a Chevy v8, then the off road suspension, better parts, wheels, tires, and mods. Why buy it at a premium if you are just going to mod it? The average Joe can replace all these little cheap chinzy parts that saved you up front money. Platform and open source. No liability cause you bought a product as-is from another land.
Agreed. Never really thought of it that way, but you are right. That’s how my mini excavator seems to be. I done have anything to upgrade on this one yet though. Just change the LED lights to flood lights for a wider beam, add a tool storage area under the hood, tie down points on the rear and a place to mount my tripod and camera gear. Haha.
Thanks for the video. We had the ability to manufacture these machines at scale, price and quality in the USA, but have transferred those capabilities to China due to corporate greed. Hopefully the next generation of our politicians will have some foresight
My grandma has a radio built in the 1957 and it still is solid as hell. Had a 64 Ford sedan that ran till 2004. Some of my friends own knives that their grand parents handed down to them from the 1930s.
If you ever visit Japan, you'll realize how much junk the mega corporations sell us at horrible prices
Agreed! They sure don’t make em like they used to!!!
I appreciate the feedback.
Dean just sent me photos of them crating my V1000. I think it will take a month to get here. Can't wait! Thank you for your great videos and the factory visit. Shalomgw
Awesome!!! The finish line is near.
Thanks for your support!
Thank you for posting the video!!!
I appreciate the feedback!
Very cool. Thank you for sharing
Thank you. I appreciate it
Woooh! I want one.....!!!
That’s what I said!!
Wow wow wow… great stuff.
Thank you. I appreciate it.
Awesome information! Thanks
Thanks. I appreciate the feedback.
I don't have a need for any of the machines here. But damn, I wanna buy one now😅
Hahaha that’s how I felt!!
The government should work with the people for the people, not against them towards prosperity.
Agreed!
If you’re talking about DC gov then yeah unfortunately they don’t give a crap about their citizens.
Nice video...thanks for sharing
Thanks, I appreciate it.
Hydraulic lines inches from your hands is an insane design. You need to make a cover for those asap before you get sprayed with high pressure fluid. I wouldn’t take the POS if it was free.
Hmmm. Interesting idea. Didn’t even think about a line blowing out.
Thanks for the video! Any idea where can I find those specific golf carts?
You can contact Dean at Derette. Dean@deretteloader.com
Tell him I sent you.
very good
Thank you.
Hi there, do they also manufacturer mini rice harvesters? Im curious where to inquire. Thanks!
looks nice 👍
Thank you. I like it!
very good Sean Ireland
Thank you. I appreciate the feedback!
I’m a long ways away from you in Oklahoma, USA.
The Bobcat, the small skid steer loader market inventor and creator, an American invention. Hate to say it’s a bit sad seeing our market, once again, getting devoured by inexpensive Chinese knockoffs. I know that’s not the intent if your video. I do appreciate being able to see the factory, cool footage.
Toro is the original maker of the "dingo" mini skidsteer. Bobcat licenses it from them. Many other manufacturers have their own variety of mini skidsteer.
Nice
Thanks
so attentive video thankyou 🎉🎉
Thanks. I appreciate it.
Gotta run. How do we buy with Kubota engine?
They make a machine called the V1000 with the Kubota or Perkins engine options. Email Dean@Deretteloader.com and you can ask him about them. I plan to get a V1000 with the Kubota soon. Tell Dean you I sent you as well.
I look forward to you covering the ditch digger, stump grinder, any input on their mulcher and more on their brush hog! Good job on your coverage of the 450!
Thank you. I appreciate it.
So far the trencher is a big win, the stump grinder I need to practice with, the brush cutter is AMAZING!!! Videos coming soon.
How long did it take you to get and What was the total cost of the unit and all the attachments? Can you do a breakdown of all costs?
It took about 2 months all in. It was around $17k shipped to me in Oklahoma. I’ll have a cost breakdown video coming soon.

Amazing
Thanks. I thought so too
Impressive.
I think so. Thanks
So basically the CHASSIS is in House built, the rest are assemblies purchased from other manufacturers . This is soo good, ya can hv ya own brand name ..
Yup. That’s about it. Awesome machine.
Stump grinder video i'm brimming with anticipation. If by any chance you got a woodchipper, well... That would just be the creme de-la- creme. And obviously a grapple 👍
I used the stump grinder today for the first time. It works really well. Video coming soon! I have a grapple but no wood chipper.
Just found your channel. I am following closely on the skid steer.
Awesome. I appreciate the support
Good video, thank you. Next they gonna have their own powder coating, doesn't cost much
Thanks. I appreciate the feedback.
Yeah, not expensive to do in house at all.
HAHAHA THAT WAS MY V1000! Bunners Land & hardscape design!!!! Love it! Can't beat it for the cost
That’s awesome! I saw it and had to google your company to see where it was going! I saw in your company’s Facebook, you have a Kubota mini skid in a photo. How do they compare? Or do you have the v1000 yet?
What was the cost?
@@OurLifeInTrees it runs almost just like the kubota scl1000. No complaints at all well worth 15k shipped to my door!
@@ripperwrestling6587 15k with an auger forks and bucket shipped to my front door
@@jonahbunner2611 Was the 15k just for the skid, or did that include the attachments you selected for it?

Another Okie! Nice. I live in Norman and have a place is SE Oklahoma, east of Talihina.
While China infrastructure companies are state-owned, SME and many big consumer product companies generally are privately-owned. Large segments of China economy is functioning capitalism.
That’s why I have been led to believe.
The term is Market-Socialism i believe. Socialism is a transition stage so similar to Capitalism but with less power to business owner/wealthy class to control the country.
Its essentially a promise that the societies direction will be a classless, moneyless society over generations in a pragmatic way
Not sure about Market-Socialism label but my own experiences were the Capitalism segment of China economy is more capitalist than US and EU. China private companies compete fiercely with each other and with foreign companies on capability, quality and price. China govt doesn’t get involved in their normal business operations. US and foreign companies take advantage of this pure capitalist, free-for-all, survival-of the-fittest competition for businesses in China to reap huge profit margin while bankrupt many smaller China companies operating on thin margin because of unethical actions by US and foreign Global Supply Managers (GSM) or buyers. These stories don’t get publicized in U.S. and European media. US privatized (for profit) its infrastructure companies so Americans in many metro areas subjected to high utility bills and high rate increases. China govt retains control of infrastructure companies mainly to ensure its citizens get stable and affordable utility costs so in a way it’s the subsidized or socialism part of its economy. Foreign companies manufacture in China enjoy govt utility, land and tax subsidies just as its domestic companies do so it’s level and fair playing field. This part doesn’t publicize in US and European media. US and European govt (national and state/provincial level) have same or similar subsidy programs to attract local investment and manufacturing. The disinformation or biased in media coverage with intent to manipulate public opinion viewpoints and opinions is usually when the media focus and mention of one subsidy while not mentioning the other similar subsidy. My own experiences at street level were US and Europe are actually more socialistic with its private enterprises than China is.
Sometimes you hear from fiery US politicians grandstanding, scaremongering, broad stroking that all Chinese companies are agents of CCP govt or answering to CCP govt. Well of course all operating companies in China, foreign and domestic, “answer” to CCP govt. In U.S. the “answer” calls federal and state regulations. Every companies operate in U.S., foreign and domestic, have to “answer” or follow US federal, state, local laws and regulations. Same in Europe. China is no different. It’s the same in all functional countries around the world. My own experiences were China govt welcome foreign companies and the average Chinese welcome foreigners and I believe they still are. It’s sad for me to see how anti-China rhetorics in U.S. govt and media are stirring up hostility and resentment when they should work out any difference in mutual respectful manner instead of mud slinging. Regarding China stealing U.S. jobs, it’s US company executives that decide the outsourcing to wherever they want and not China govt. decision to make. So accountability is in order. The jobs go to China are mostly slow-skilled, mind-numbing, repetitive-assembly jobs that US companies have hard time to staff or just want to increase profit margin for stock holders. China govt and ordinary Chinese have no say in those decisions. If not China, US companies would just move to Mexico, India, Vietnam, Thailand, etc… and not back to US.
Great Video Presentation for this factory. I like that VT1000 with the diesel. Wish it had automatic bucket leveling, otherwise it will dump that dirt in your face.
I like that one too. I’d really like to get one to try out next. If anyone can dump a bucket of dirt on their face, I’m that guy! lol.
@@OurLifeInTrees When you are loading a truck or trailer with high sides, it's a risk because you are focused on not damaging the sides of the truck/trailer. Last thing you want is a bunch of 6" rocks falling out dinging up your loader hood and ricocheting off your hood into your face.
A lot of information - I would like to connect to see the buying process and howlong everything took. Great video - tour makes me feel more comfortable buying from them. Looking forward to hearing back from you - keep those videos coming
Thanks. Yeah it is really cool he gave me that tour. It too about 2 months start to finish to get to me.
Pro tip: Try to read the bot comments in a chinese accent💀
Hahahaha. That’s funny.
90% of the comments on this channel:
New-ish accounts, No subscriptions, No profile pictures, No uploads...leaving their only comment on this channel to praise China and disparage the US no less..
Hey @LifeInTrees , I didn't realize farming meant developing your platform for Chinese astroturfing 😂
@@Metapharsical Its so funny when they try to sound American. I am not even American, but i feel second-hand cringe 😭
@@MetapharsicalIf I ever get into farming, maybe I’ll try it with a Chinese accent! lol
I think a clear powder coated machine would be way cooler than a yellow, white, or whatever colored machine. Kinda sad we don’t see them anywhere, they always have some ugly obnoxiously bright color. Sure it’s for visibility or whatever, but a “bare” steel excavator would be so much better looking.
Maybe throw on some brass, copper, bronze, perhaps even wood or leather as well to make it look even better. Steampunk construction equipment basically
Wow. That would be cool!!! Agreed.
Do you know dimensions of the crates they were shipped in? Also im going to order everything same as you. Out of the ones you have had a chance to use, are they worth buying and do you recommend them?
The machine was 7.4'x4.6'x5.1'. 3152lbs and the attachments were 5.9'x5.4'x4.2' 1,863lbs
Awesome fast response. Thanks👍
I try. lol. No problem.
They use those rolling overhead cranes!
I saw that later when I saw the video on a TV. Couldn’t see it on my phone. (I know I know, I shouldn’t be editing on my phone). lol.
I think you’re looking at an assembly plant and not manufacturing plant. Where are the steel forming machines? Heavy presses?
In the next video which shows the next building where they have the CNC plasma machine and sheets of steel.
I'm looking at all the porosity ( bubbles in the weld) haha man these things are gonna snap! Slow down, use better wire,😅
Dude for real keep these videos coming I love skids machines
That’s the plan. Thank you. I just a now getting to use these machines but so far it’s awesome.
When are you going to break down the whole cost of the machine and attachments. The total of the cost start to finish thanks
I plan to have a video soon with the full breakdown of costs
I understand that China is leading in this market, making it difficult for American manufacturers to compete. However, promoting Chinese products while displaying a somewhat patriotic flag feels uncomfortable for me.
I’m more promoting capitalism. I found a way to make money, with UA-cam, and for other people to be able to afford a machine that most of us would never be able to afford otherwise. I wish I could afford American made but it not in the budget for me or most other Americans for that matter.
I appreciate your feedback.
@@OurLifeInTrees. How much did the skid steer cost? It looks like good quality. It must have taken a lot of time researching this to find what you wanted.
I've watched all of your videos about your mini skid. What is the ground clearance? I'm wandering how this machine will do on a construction site in the mud.
Thank you, I appreciate it.
Good questions. The specs say it is 5” off the ground. No idea about mud. I suppose I have to figure these things out now don’t I? lol.
I don't know for sure if this is the real manufacturer but I worked at two US manufacturers of similar equipment and the 'factory' in the video is far too small and inactive. It might be a rework facility but even that is too small. There were no assembly lines, laser or plasma cutters, welding robots, parts bins etc. And the real tell, a whiteboard for order processing. Even mcdonald's doesn't do that.
I know that they are a small company and there is another facility that has the laser cutters I will upload later.
I certainly know what you mean though, it’s not like a facility I have seen before.
No OSHA there... lol... Thanks for this great info
Agreed. OSHA would not approve.
There maybe some safety violations. But they aren't super major and unfixable. I see some PPE ( personnel protective equipment) being used. There are clear and unblocked exits during an emergency. The factory layout is not-cramped, with parts generally kept in their designated places.
I did not see fire extinguishers, exit signs etc. They could be there, simply not showing up on the video. The possible violations are the PPE (helmets), safety labelling and markings and noise isolations. But then, we do know not the Chinese OSHA stands on these either.
80% of government officers owned engineering degree, compared 80% government officers are lawyers in USA.
In this video, are you showcasing the 320? What’s your opinion on the differences from 320 to the DRT450?
I’m not very familiar with the 320. I know it’s smaller and a two pump setup. I read about the models in the Derette brochure but personally haven’t used or seen one.
I will keep buying quality machines from KUBOTA they have very good engineering.When these Chinese machines break you will wish you bought a Kubota that provides you with a complete workshop manual that actually tells you how to fix your machine as well as parts available for old machines.
Thanks for the video, Do you know of a good Chinese manufacturer of mini excavators? I' m looking for a quality 2-Ton machine with the same Honda 2cly gas engine as your mini skid steer?
I don’t have personal experience with any personally. I bought my mini excavator form a dealer here in Oklahoma. Try this Facebook group. Some of the guys in there have had good luck ordering from a few companies.

White box companies are nothing new in asia. Infact, most of our U.S. major brand computers in the 90's (with made in the U.S.A lables) were manufactured in Taiwan and other parts of asia. Shipped to the U.S. and assembled & Distributed by taiwanese/othre asian white box, sister, companies in the U.S.
I’m sure that’s true.
LOOK 6:02 at the 4 engine mount brackets inside the chassis. First machine they are only tacked in. Next machine properly welded. Which one did you get? I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to see if yours were only tacked. I'm curious if you even respond I hope you at least check.
Which one did I get? A completed one. Mike is a different model and has rubber isolators for motor mounts.
The first one doesn’t seem to be the finished product, does it? Look at 5:57. The sides are tacked on, the main chunk of the machine is tacked, there is even a a piece of angle iron holding it together. The second one looks like it may be ready to goto powder coat.
Why would you be curious if I respond? Do you think I’m hiding something over at my secret Chinese factory while I trick people to think I’m in Oklahoma with my videos? I reply to every comment.
The point of the video is to show what the manufacturing is really like, not a conspiracy to hide tricks.
Hello Gregory, Thanks to you I ordered a T1000 yesterday from Dean. Can't wait to get it. Shalom/gw 😊. P.S. How did you pay them?
Awesome. I paid with a credit card through Alibaba. Unfortunately that adds 2.9%
I dont know if this video proves they are the manufacturers. We see things through american eyes which can be tricked. Maybe I missed it, but only the office doors had the company name. No name on building and no info on employee uniforms. None of the equipment had the company name. What if there are several different offices within that complex that all have access to the warehouse? What if "the manufacturer" is more of an association of various business kind of like what they are doing in Los Angeles with community commercial kitchens/restaurants where no individual restaurant has a name on the building, they share the same prep tables with other restaurants, and only offers food delivery (no pickup or dine in options). It's just a thought and do appreciate the video! Thank you for sharing.
I don’t disagree. We can all agree that the machines are made there and he certainly has access to where they assemble them. So there’s that. lol.
Chinese manufacturers are using supply chain, they did the design, parts or sections were made by many different factories, those factory may even have no idea what it for, in the end they did the total assemble, they call themself OEM manufacturer so don't have a fixed brand name.
@@jxmai7687 makes sense.
I want one, but best rent one. I have not the budget. I do have some land to tame. 😆
I understand. These toys/tools are not cheap.
The only problem I see in this factory is that the grinding and welding happens in the same room as the assembly. Dirt is the death of hydraulics. Grinding and welding for this reason is problematic.
Could be solved by separating the areas. A sheet would be enough.
There's one thing I see that I absolutely don't like about these is the track system is driven by a chain on the inside
I hear there is a chain but don’t know where that would be. Inside the hydraulic drive motor? The hydraulic lines goto the motor and the motor drives the track.
@@OurLifeInTrees when I was watching your video with their assembling these I saw a chain drive on the inside
@@TheOriginalAndysGarage ohh. Interesting. I need to look again and see what model that is. Good eye!
@@OurLifeInTrees when he was touring the warehouse coming down by those in the frames were hanging there maybe it was a cheaper model
Did you correspond with the factory to choose ghe attachments. I don't see an option from the link.
Yes. I did it all through Alibaba. You can contact Dean through the link in the description. He sent me an invoice through Alibaba with everything we agreed on.
People often say made in china is not good, but they failed to understand that china offers various level of qualities depend on budget and price.
Very true. I agree.
green does pop as you say because of john deere green
Agreed. I think that this green is more like a Kawasaki green. Or maybe Dodge sublime green. lol.
nice simple design. i have owned small machines. couple of them good. one was no good, new motor. then it was just fine. anything is hit an miss. i am thinking about getting a little spot. hate this city life. doctors are close. i will be looking again. a man needs to play.
have had 4 strokes but i am getting better.
Dang man. Sorry to hear. I agree, everyone needs a little space.
Crazy I clicked the link and the same skid steer came up that’s on the video but there was no options to add extra weights and I got a couple attachments and the loader. The shipping was $38,000 so my total for everything was $49,000, I’ll just buy American.
What link did you click? I paid about $8500 shipped to me in Oklahoma. I didn’t click the options, I talked to the sales rep, Dean, and he set it all up for me.
I will remove earlier comment I spoke with Dean. I believe he got me the whole set up for 12,580 shipped to me to my door at Florida. Thanks for the UA-cam video.
14:07 Clam shell 4 n 1 buckets are worth their wait in gold.
Yeah it seems awesome
@@OurLifeInTrees I was on pipeline crew, you spent half of your day handling the material.
Hi. nice video my concern if I buy any machine from china do they have pleny parts for these equipment?
thank you.
The engine is Honda, pumps are Parker, the motors are Danfoss, lines can be made anywhere, and most parts aren’t too hard to come by.
I need to dig into sourcing local parts. Good idea.
Are mini skid attachments compatible across brands? Could I use a mini Bobcat bucket on the V1000?
Apparently these are compatible with the Toro Dingo and the Kubota loaders
Are they reliable?need something small for a kennel facility!at the lowest price but has to be reliable!any help appreciated
Thats your own decision to make, they use reputable parts, honda, kubota, good pumps and valves... Good luck finding parts for it if you break the chassis though.
So far, mine has been very reliable.
Who makes the Mach? That’s the mini skid I have
It’s made by Derette and sold by a variety of companies under different names.
Your new machine looks identical to the YTL-23-2 offered by KYMRON. Do you believe Derette manufactures the YTL23-2 for KYMRON?
There are many companies that sell this machine. I believe Derette manufactures all the machines like this. I have been known to be wrong, but I will upload the factory tour of where they make them. From the steel plates being cut on a plasma machine to final assembly.
The manufacture's label should be in the engine compartment. It is on my QH12.
That’s cool. I’ll check and see. My Kymron has a label that says Kymron from the factory. Heat it is made by Hightop. 🤷♂️
So this company, the only company in China that makes skid steers and loaders excavators
It is the only company that makes the DRT450 and the V1000. They don’t make excavators.
Yesh that equipment looks bulit good parts
Thanks
OK. That was awesome. I feel more like buying one now. Lol. Ok. Maybe he would send you there to actually video it yourself and show more accurate videos and easier to understand also. He did good though.
Wouldn’t that be awesome?! He did an awesome job. I’d love to go tour it firsthand.
