  • These are the mods I have done so far.
    Before any mods the hydraulic temp on a 24c day was 85c at its peak after about 2.5 hours.
    Today was 27c, and after 6 hours, it didn't get past 58c.
    The hydraulic radiator is the 13gpm version from Princess Auto.
    Aux lines on boom are 8l din.
    Return line to tank is a 15l din.

    If I remember right the B&G 13.5 hp unit only puts out 9 amps at full power. Be carful you may be draining your battery with too many fans and lights

    Very nice ideas. I have a ton and a half machine, Love it, still need to do some more mods on mine, but it is a great machine. Opted for the Kubota, Extremely happy for that upgrade.

      Nice that would be a sweet machine to have. I was considering getting a 1.5t but around me they had gas engines and are 2x the price.

    My water main broke 4 days ago. I saved roughly 600 bucks trenching and back filling myself with my agt h12. If you are on the fence about buying one, just do it. There are a ton of attachments and these minis are great for home use or small landscape jobs. They do need the fans but, are cheap and fairly easy to install. Good video.

      @pigthesidecardog7442 Hell ya that's awesome. I have about 100 feet of 12" sewer to do and 300ft of sub drain. This machine will be a life saver.

    I'm lucky my Texas Rippa 1-ton came with the hydraulic thumb and floor pedals (blade/thumb). I've only needed to install a cooling fan on mine. Also, after a week I'd come to find that my right control stick has a thumb button w/ working horn 😆

      Lol nice. The place that sells them around me only had these models.
      I didn't know they made any with thumb controlls.
      Floor pedals would be nice. I'll be looking at making some later this year.
      The horn would be good if I had a dump trailer driver lol.

    I have the exact same machine. Your upgrades look excellent. I was thinking of doing the filter on the tank just as you did. What do you think about just using hose barbs and clamps since it is no pressure?Probably wont do a cooler since the machine will usually be run for 20 min or so at a time to load mud into a dump trailer. I also need to modify my bucket so the mud doesn't fall out at max height. Hope to see more videos.

      Thank you.
      I haven't seen the filter gauge on mine move yet, so it should be fine.
      On a Jd tractor, I just used heater hose as a return line and it's been working fine for roughly 15 hours so far.

    Is that an actual B&S engine or a chinese knock off?

      It's a Chinese clone.
