Bruce Wilson hey im in Alaska would I still Qualify to win that rc car ?
Right on man, big RC dude and love the mini ex. Been a fan for a long time from the beginning.
Reported a scammer on my post
Morgan Wallen sucks!
It’s a moterized engine lift lol lol. Lol lol lol😮
Hell of a lot better than a shovel
Damn right
Heck yeah! I want one so bad
Atleast a shovel is reliable
@@AsaJohanson handle broke on mine today
@@WillChandlerFLD120 yeah the ones i get are basically made of toothpicks
The machine impressed me more than you did. For what it is and the size of it, I think it did a great job. I'd love to have it!
Sad to see someone destroy something for fun when I’d love something like that I could make an hourly rate on.
I'm impressed with the mini-excavator, but I'm stunned by the ham-handed operator who could get it stuck in a one foot deep hole he dug himself. Just amazed. Bye!
Amen.... We who have to work our asses off to earn a dollar have a MUCH GREATER APPRECIATION than those that are sit'n pretty with stacks of cash to WASTE. In no way am I saying that this guy doesn't or haven't worked hard for it. HOWEVER.... Nuff said...
Not sure about an hourly rate, but this could do some jobs for sure
So honestly I'm pretty impressed with that little machine lol
I was thinking the same thing
@@everydayvideos604 I'd love to have could make extra cash with that little machine
@@WillChandlerFLD120 !1)111
Yea works great right now but guaranteed after not many hours something will tear up
@@papermaker2726 and getting parts in the future maybe impossible
I'd run that around the farm! Not be CAT or Kubota quality, but sure doesn't have their price either. Engine goes bad, harbor freight swap. Hydraulics aren't hard to replace or upgrade, especially sincd the unit is so bare bones. My biggest concern would be if the tracks are a standard size for replacement.
Got a point i pd 18500 for a 2008 kubota bx24 i love it for what it is lite farming sewer pipe digging perfect .wish i could get a 6In bucket for the back hoe
Off the shelf parts, easy to upgrade a pump if one goes bad. Same with hoses and everything else. I test drove a couple at an auction.. not bad at all
Best comment I read in a long time bryce 👍
I just bought one at an auction for $4500 plus auction fee. It wouldn't start.smelled the fuel in the tank. Didn't smell like gas. Ended up taking the carburetor off and found the main jet plugged. Cleaned it out, and now it starts. Put about 10 hours on it in three days.
It has the same problem others have mentioned online. It gets very hot in the engine compartment. I've ordered a couple small fans to improve the cooling.
So far I'm very happy with it. You just can't beat the price. If I need something larger, I'll rent one from Preferred Rental. They have excellent rental prices.
@@jamesb.armstrong5433 as far as something larger this company makes a 3.5 ton with a yanmar engine and full cab for $8000 to $15,000. I just haven't seen many on youtube reviewed and everything I am seeing is having to import from China as there are no sellers here in the US for this model.
you were trying to make that as bad as it could possibly be. Honesty goes a long way
Im gonna go out on a limb and say the mini excavator does exactly what it says it should do
It shows that you're not an equipment operator.
That thing actually works better than I thought. Seeing you get it unstuck was funny as hell 🤣.
I own a Groundhog KH14G-2... its the same body, better "standard" specs with USA Dealer backing. Pretty stout little machines..... no complaints. In the end,,, I think this guy should have got a 7 out of 10 at least.... it did everything you wanted it to and kept going......lolol
These have become very popular, kind of like Harbor Freight tools, not great but will work in a pinch.
Good luck finding an American mini excavator for under 10 grand. I am really thinking about getting one of these. Just to dig smaller ditches for water lines. It would be perfect for fitting in tighter spaces that the larger ones would not fit in.
They’re listed online for 3,000-4,000 dollars brand new whistlin diesel unmolested.
so true they are going for that price i might actually buy one hes just trying to make money
@@texazboii definitely in business to make a profit which is understandable. Just feel that it being on a UA-cam video being seriously abused makes it worth more money or for that matter worth as much as it was when new.
Not trying to be rude about it, just being realistic and looking at it from a business standpoint. Am I going to purchase a used tractor for 9,000 or will I buy a new tractor for 4,000? Hmmm, choices-choices lol.
@philliphwhirley2574 bro I totally agree 🤣 plus he scratched the paint too on the side and for that price nah rather get a new one for 4000 and I'm sure we would take better care of it lol
Yup I was curious as well how much these cost new. Looking at $8500 brand new at your door after taxes and fees buying it directly from china. Still cheaper than the 9999 price he’s asking plus non molested by whistlen diesel. I get it tho he’s in the business to make money.
They are surprisingly good for the money. They sell them now at auctions around $4k, can’t beat that price.
Any idea how I could get Into finding an auction with equipment like this? Never had something like this. Need something like this to help me make some trails
That's pretty sweet and capable! Don't destroy it, someone will buy it for sure. Or save it for your kids! How fun would that be for them!
It’s a good tractor to teach ur kids how to run👍👍👍
Yyep
I think it would be perfect for digging ditches for pipe and stuff like that
Hey Bruce it's better than a shovel ,I would think a lot of guys watching would love one to play with
You should get 6 of those mini excavators and weld them together and make a spider.
Attach a winch to the bottom of it and climb a buldiing.
That’s already been done before, they couldn’t get it to work properly and it only took a couple steps before breaking
They did a much larger one in the historical documentary Wild Wild West 😁
Nice rig for a homeowner!
I wanna see how it does digging in clay soil.
Hey Bruce I ran one of them not to long ago the controls are backwards raise the seat there's a toggle switch for the controls
Thanks for putting out videos so often, its good entertainment
Thanks for making the impact wrench more quiet
FYI, it uses mineral oil for hydraulic oil, that is why it is completely clear.
You take STUPID to a whole new level! However I am really impressed by the little digger!
not a bad little machine, keep the clips coming
just ship it to me here in Jamaica and I can use it in my back yard for my septic tank and gardening..lol.. it probably fits in the back of a nissan pickup just fine..lol..
Bruce your gonna get that house soon I’m praying for you and your family to get it
i bought one from HT, with koop diesel engine 600 cm³ 7kw 10 hp, 1 ton weight
sorry but is a great machine, i have 400hrs on it and zero problems exept a diesel flex pipe broken, replaced with 5 € . just 5 oil change and normal greasing
I use it intensive for my little business and makes an exellent job with 1 -1,3 liters/hour
i built on a fan for more cooling but the air cooling system is with direct draught and i never overheated. I built a cabin too and working lights. just value for the price
I mean considering the thing runs on a literal lawn mower engine and a cheap one at that. I'm pretty impressed
So Bruce how has sleeping on the couch been treating you lol
Stop buying equipment and buy the house for your Wife before she is your Ex wife
@@millionmiler they already bought a house
The things some will do for UA-cam content , geeze …
Some of y'all dumb af he been said he got the house
I'm 6'7" and I have one of these, and I fit in it easily. So maybe stop the BS !
I have one that size, had about 10 months have 70 hrs on it very handy to have around my small farm I really like it.
That would be a nice toy for ur son to learn on at a young age Bruce
Man I'd love to have that it would be so useful
Seems like a not half bad machine... Honestly dug a lot better then I thought it would. Would be fun to screw around with for a while that's for sure.
Put a weight on back it dig even better
Id love that little machine. Be perfect for digging water lines, digging Graves small light. Id baby that thing make it last years
I just wanted to say thank you for kinda softening the audio for head phone users no other UA-camr does that
When he buried it, it reminded me of the sand box excavator I as a kid😂
I'll take that mini ex as a prize. I can use that at the lake for a project.
It's a scam
Not gonna lie if you took really good care of that thing I bet you that thing could be extremely handy for foundation work or even landscaping work
Get one of these for my Grandchildren to play in their sandbox with 😂
Hell yeah. I am from Shandong as well, those little machine sells good, I currently importing those from China 😅
I wish they'd start importing 1 ton cab oversto the usa I've seen. They look like my old Isuzu I wish I'd never sold.
@@WillChandlerFLD120 1 ton can you be looking around 12-15k at least
@@georgezhou7961 I know that's an awesome price. I saw a bulk deal 10 trucks for 6 grand each. My neighbor paid close to 90 grand for a decked out ford f-250 pick up. Just purchased a new home too. I couldn't sleep at night . Most 35 to 40 Americans look rich but are living month to month. I haven't purchased a brand new vehicle in in 28 years I've had some pretty nice vehicles but used. Purchased a 95 Nissan hardbody new. I can walk outside right now and fire it up. Still have it repainted it last yr 2.4s with synthetic oil are bullet proof.
@@georgezhou7961 and thanks for the info If they come to the united states I definitely purchase a new one. I'm retired but remodel 1 house a year. I love the cab over trucks.
@@WillChandlerFLD120 I feel you. I just brought myself a 80k trucks and this is my first ever vehicle not paid cash. I love it but should get something cheaper, I am only 23 I do believe my future are bright if I work hard to the right way. Lmk if you interested I am located in Arizona
Bruce, I bought the HT 15 with the Kubota a year ago. Yes there were lil issues but this machine has turned to be the lil digger.
Not sure if it's the same issue, but I operated a backhoe for a while, that had a toggle switch to change controls from backhoe, to excavator set up, to suit operators who'd go from one machine to another
With this Chinese one you have to switch two hydraulic hoses around
Lol, this is the cheapest, bare-bones mini you can buy. It barely comes with an ignition switch, let alone a pattern-change switch😂
@@ArthurDentZaphodBeeb yeah figured as much having seen plenty of the "cheaper" machines on job sites, but it's only a "plumbing" change to fix the problem
That thing is pretty sweet for a mini
The EPA sticker is REQUIRED for any Import into the US!! And if it is not present - you get to pay a Huge amount of money for Lab Testing, etc. Not present - don't bother to purchase; since you won't be getting it into the States.
I like how the test area is a sandpit. The ground is suitable for testing with a rubber bucket.😂
that roll cage extends up to regular hight.... it's retracted for shipping
Just posted a video of my mini excavator with a tmk 150 tree sheer. I was absolutely mind blown with the power mine has and the amount of land I was able to clear!
These are $4000 excluding taxes and shipping
Well, everyone keeps dissing anything made in China, but I’ve got to say, that little machine is one of very very few to make it out of Cody’s ownership alive. Then it put up with Bruce as well!
That seems like it would be a brilliant addition to any small landscape gardening business. It’s small enough to fit in a car trailer and get hauled around by the family daily driver, yet it can dig and doze pretty well. Far better than a couple of strong guys with shovels and picks and for a much lower wage.
I wonder are Shandong going to use these videos in their advertising. They certainly seem to have produced at least one nice little machine.
Hi Bruce awesome little 1 ton excavator if you need replacement parts for Chinese excavator you can get them at groundhog equipment those guys are awesome over there And Bruce talk to them about being a dealership take care stay safe
I've seen little 1ton Chinese cab over flat bed trucks that look like the Isuzus that were awesome. I bought those Chinese 4 wheelers at flea market motorcycles they went through 6 grandchildren still running 20 yrs latter
That is so cool I have had pocket bikes from china worked great I would love to see Bruce willson be a dealer for groundhog equipment
Hello. I have the same machine. Mine is 13.5 Briggs motor. Have about 100 and about 1 year old. The turn sprocket fell off today. Keep the tracks tight.
The oil is pouring out because of the gravitational pull from the moon. Its called high tide
Hey Bruce can u make more will it start videos love them videos brothers
Don’t care what the haters say!
It’s not backwards, you just can’t operate, you can pull tf out those levers tho.
Way better than a cat. Like 100% Idk why it's so underrated
"headphone warning" _quietest part of the video_
Good morning brother i am from Indonesian
You should put the mini in a mystery box
Honestly as crude as that little thing is, I'd about like to have one here on the farm.
You could make a killing drain laying and landscaping with that thing untill you hit a rock the size of the bucket 😉
Your a brave man Bruce. I wouldn’t risk my life driving that piece of s*#% without a roll cage. Only problem with extending the cage to fit an American man is that it would be so top heavy that it topple with every movement. Buy American!
Brand new ht10 excavators retail for $7500.
I wanted to buy one but my Step Son and Wife said it was a waste of money but you proved then wrong!
😂😂😂😂😂😂 The fool can't break it 😂😂😂
Business expense shirt looks sick
You should really do a giveaway on the excavator! You could do something like other channels have done and sell digital stickers, would be a cool giveaway. Shipping would suck but you have the trucks to get it done yourself
I think the mini excavator made a fool of you.
A nice excavator for the children, or for the 7 dwarves, so that they can work faster in the mine. ))))
That's what I thought, you are trying to tear the thing up. Figured!!!
Most expensive shovel but it can’t go as deep 🤣
I tried one. Valves are on off.. better to buy used with a little bit more quality
Get needle valves for cheap
Your sons 1st excavator!
CE approval on the side - what a joke! 🤣
Would be awesome if the guy running in a machine knew he was doing
Awesome video, Bruce. Using that little excavator might have to go to the back doctor 👍
If You Tube didn't make a big deal out of music, you could have inserted a sample of "Digging in the Dirt" by Peter Gabriel. 😝
猫 means "Cat" lol that's pretty great! nice get
It'll make a great give away!
You can buy that brand new
Cheaper than 10 grand
All you guys that talk out your ass about how much they cost should get some real information before talking.They cost close to 7k once they clear US customs.They can be purchased at an auction for about 6k at an auction on a good day but add 10% fees on top of that.
Blade back and down gives you more downward digging pressure at the teeth
For the price, I would be very happy with that mini excavator. I could use it on my little plot of land where I grow vegetables and mushroom. Even if it lasted for a year, thats loads of time for me to make my money back.
This is the perfect backyard machine to use once and never again. Also they stole the kennywood logo for the tracks
Well right off the bat I can see before you sell that when you're going to have to extend the ROP about 2 ft😂😂😂
new shirt looks badass btw
I just got one can’t wait to use it
amazon 3.5k imported 8k new. why buy his for 10k, after its been abused.
The only difference between men and boys is not always the cost of their toys.
I hope ur joking on price tag. U can get a new one for like 6 bands
He said he didn’t need the seat belt right after we watched him almost fall off
Pretty impressive little machine at 1/3:the price of a similar name brand
Now you need HeavyD to come recover it for you. LOL 😆 🤣
😂😂😂
Chinese made or not, I'd love to have that machine and I was taught to appreciate stuff unlike some.
Bro just dug a hole, and drove into it
would love some merch with some of you or your wifes favorite sayings or catch phrases, like Good Golly Mrs Molly, wam bam thank you mam, or She wanted a house, so i bought another tractor.
That thing is perfect for Gunner too learn on.
