I would suggest fans on back sucking air in thru the side vents( and up from the bottom) and out the back. I have (6)5in fans( bolted to grills) on the back of my HI5 powered by their own deep-cycle ( sitting on battery tray mounted behind seat) and I feel zero heat anymore. Extra space on grill(s)sealed up with Gorilla tape. Slots on back corners I have sealed up with USA , Texas, and Don't Tread on Me flag magnet decals. In fact if it is a hot day I can stand in front of them with engine running and cool down there is so much air moving through there. Was about a $800 upgrade though( battery was $300 and will come in handy for other uses when needed: i.e. trolling motor , camping). Well worth it. I realize my set-up will not work with the back of this machine. Just wanted to say, mainly, to suck air thru and out, not push air in.
I just bought one . suggest taking the cushions out and remove the plastic wrap on the back side. mine was already starting to rust and mold from trapped water. bought mine at auction also 👍
I'm not 100% sure why it would look cloudy but I would change it just to be safe it's good to change the fluid anyway on these machines I'm not sure I would trust the fluid that it comes with!
@ForrestWhite35 no. I took to scale. It was 2240 pounds. I have not weighed it sence adding a thum and fuel tank. 7 gallon. If you wount to specs look at groundhog equipment. The diesel model is same size. Or can look at u15 kubota
@@jtsokiehobbyandadventures6666 geez, that's insane. I bet my AGT H15 (at $6800 with Hyd-thumb and $800 6 fan cooling set-up incl.)would crush it in a smash-up derby.
Never purchase a excavator with joysticks in front of operater . Jerky now and always will be. Hopefully you can get some resale value. Definitely not top of anything. Lowest

I'm thinking about getting one, I would love to see how to change the controls. Also what you are going to do for a counter weight.
I bought one yesterday also. Good luck with your machine.
Thank you! We will see!
Interesting ty good luck

The temperature part of your fluid gauge is in the very middle where it looks like a narrow line between the C and F. Good luck.
Thank you for that info! I'm going to check it out

Lol you are not the only one that is cheap. I paid 6000 for my diggit em15. It does have pilot controls.
On the jurknes ideal it to 1/2 to 3/4
I have seen the diggit units, I really like the pilot controls I believe they are 1.5 ton correct?

Throttle is too high. Back it off. You will immediately tell the difference.
I seem to have zero issue running at idle for anything I need to do with my H15.
