Kymron does not add these "upgrades". These come with the machine. The reason that you don't find these options is because the people importing them are buying the cheapest option to maximize their return. Briggs 10-13.5hp motors are standard, come with the tractor from China. Yanmar/Kubota diesels are optional, from China. You have a higher tarrif and import fees when importing diesel engines. All hydraulics are standard. Any part is readily upgradable from the factory. This is true of all China manufacturers, they all use the same engines. I just ordered one with everything you listed PLUS all the attachments PLUS a cab PLUS a pivoting boom PLUS telescoping tracks - for LESS than ANY of the basic excavators are selling for AT AUCTION. Oh yeah, THIS INCLUDES SHIPPING TO MY PORT!!! These guys are just importing them and selling you a ketchup Popsicle lol.
@@BrokePrepper Where did you order yours from - what is the make and model (including the options you selected) and are you satisfied with it? I am in the market for one, thanks!! 🙏
@@colintaylor5784 mine came from Shandong Nuoman, I purchased it from their sister company Shandong nuote. Nuoman is the manufacturer. I'm going to be importing them for sale once I figure out what modifications need to be made for reliability and functionality. I have about 10k into it after shipping and customs, but on my next order I will be spending a lot less, I hope to sell them in the US for around that amount. I'm currently in the testing phase and will be uploading demo videos of the tractor in use in the next week or so. Every tractor I sell will come with a complete pre delivery inspection including 1 hour of runtime to guarantee the functionality. (I would do more but I don't want to scratch them up.) They will also come with a TWO year no questions asked parts warranty, and the manufacturer has agreed to supply me with parts so that we have parts AVAILABLE IN THE US!!!!! That's right, I'LL HAVE A PARTS INVENTORY!!! I am currently in talks with them to see if I can get machines with Kubota diesel engines and AIR CONDITIONING for the same price.
You’ve addressed many of my concerns I had with purchasing Chinese equipment. Most importantly getting replacements parts within the US. Like you said the rest is just steal and hoses. I have a small farm and this machine can be very useful for what I need.
Ethanol free is very smart and I would also from experience add one ounce of Penzoil two stroke oil to every of ethanol free gas. This will give the engine eternal life and you will notice that the oil in the engine does not turn black because the oil added to the gase helps to seal the oil rings better preventing carbon from getting into the oil. I remove ethanol from my gasoline myself for my equipment.
Very entertaining video with a great theme. I have a Groundhog unit from Hackenburg Equip in PA. At about 1.5T with a 20 HP rated diesel it specs out much like your Kymron as for reach and digging depth. And yes it too is from China with upgrades. I chose no swing boom as just another wear point for me. I bought from him for same reason you bought from someone, they deal with import issues. A UA-camr, B&M Excavating, works his 14HP gas unit doing many, many projects.
Great video. I picked up a 2 ton groundhog last summer with a 24hp Kubota diesel. The bucket teeth are upside down in my opinion but I haven’t got around to flipping them like you did because I figured I was missing something. Please let us know if you find any problems with them being flipped. Also I’ve been waiting to see what you came up with for hydraulic quick connects to cleanup the boom on your larger machine for the grading bucket. I added some hydraulic quick connects to mine but don’t love the way it came out. Its okay but I had to use quite a few adapters to make it happen.
Teeth backwards help with friction when digging. Not much but on a small machine it helps. In some conditions like clay. No expert. But ive done it with r/c machines and it helps
A good idea is to put a ram guard on the hydro ram at the start of the boom, to stop the bucket hitting the ram. A good investment, and get used to straighten them out, you'll be doing a lot of that.
I'd recommended replacing the hour meter. You can get ones that sense if the engine is running via a wire wrapped around the spark plug lead, or given your electrical skills, have the meter be keyed off the oil pressure. My concern with the way it is now is that if you're going to use a standard rental model where it's some dollar amount per day, those days are usually based on 8 operating hours per day, then a per hour rate. If someone leaves the switch on, there might be a dispute over how many hours were used, and it's also going to skew your maintenance schedule. Looking forward to the rental info. I've kind of thought about doing something similar. Problem is I'm limited by a 7500lb tow weight without upgrading the truck, and I'd still need to buy an equipment trailer.
Great suggestion! Im going to look into to that. I left the hour meter on for a couple days. Didnt realize that controlled it and now it has 169 hrs on it. Id like to swap it while its new with basically no hours anyway
You have to realize that the people who would rent these are probably doing it because they don’t have the skill/experience or money to rent a proven, well built brand name machine. Thus these less durable machines would get the p!ss beat out of them and probably not hold up very well for a long term investment.
The upside down "machine", classic. Your right about importing headaches. Ive imported a lot, and it can be a pain. Also tariffs fees have skyrocketed shortly after 2017 Jan 20th.
I had a Kubota mini X for 3 years, a U25, and I sold it after I got (I thought) all my projects done. One thing about these small machines, obvious i guess but when stored in a building they take up very little room, as compared to my Kubota tractor anyway. A great explanation here, I am getting tempted, again. I also sold my 14' dump bed trailer, another regret!
Have you had any problems with it? I know that particular unit doesn't come with a oil cooler. But ill be finding out soon as I just got one i should be getting it first part of may i was told btw thanks for the videos as it helped me decide that I wanted one
@@SpicerDesignsLLC Well hopefully mine will come with one Doesn't matter though... It's a easy thing to source... honestly I have been looking at all the mini excavators and these appear to be superior than the rest and having the ability to get parts if and when you need them is paramount.... Thanks again for helping me make my decision
Kyle, I'm a little confused on your what you're plan is, ... are you are going to rent the mini mini to the public without you being the operator on their job site? Or, are you going to be hauling the equipment on your own trailer and operating the mini mini?
I sure like my Agrotk H15. Especially when I added a sweet $700 worth of fans ,wiring and 100amph deep-cycle battery to keep it cool. I no longer feel any heat even running long. Slow travel speed but everything else is on par.
Just an idea... I have 16 inch bucket for my TYM backhoe. I got a 9 inch trenching bucket for it and it seems to dig stump roots and rocks easier. Also an option for folks renting it as I'm sure alot of them will be using it for pipes and trenching. Keep up the vids, Brother!!
Looks very similar to my Groundhog 14G-2. Wondering, I havent taken mine down a steep slope yet so for Groundhog, dont know if it has a brake valve to keep it from free-wheeling down steep slopes. Have you confirmed whether the Kymron has or does not have a brake valve to keep it from freewheeling?
@@SpicerDesignsLLC Great. That means it does have a brake valve to keep from freewheeling. Otherwise, if you were on a slope and kept the track controls in drive on a steep slope it would freewheel which is uber dangerous. Some of these Chinese mini's dont have the brake valve but, will stop on a slope if you let go the track control back to neutral. that will stop them from freewheeling. However, if you were to freewheel a bit gaining some speed and then move controls to neutrual, they would slam to a stop. Again, uber dangerous. So, I suspect then, both the Kymron and my Groundhog are both brake valve equipped. Will find out today.........cautiously......Thanks for the vids they are helpful.
Really enjoy all your videos I like everything you put into them. I do like watching "MACHINES" work. Hope to see more work with the mini excavator as time goes and see how the rental thing pans out. I live pretty close to Muskogee so I am tempted now. Thanks
Thank you! I appreciate that. There will be lots of videos with both machines and the rental process. They have a nice showroom and inventory. Worth checking out. Thanks for the comment!
I've seen a few videos about long term ownership of these chinese mini excavators. What irks me the most about these machines isn't with the mechanics and hydraulics, but with the boom itself. I have yet to see one of these that won't get really sloppy after only 50-100 hours on it. Are the Kymron specced with hardened bushings?
@@hayestead i havent heard of Derette. Ii think the Kymrons are a decent machine. At the end of the day it depends on what your using it for. They are all cheaply made and wear faster than name brand. Ive since sold both and bought a bobcat. Night and day difference.
I thought I saw somewhere that the bucket actually digs better with the teeth the way they were. Would be nice to confirm that. Also, I wonder if a 1.5 ton with the extending tracks would be the optimal compact mini excavator.
I purchased a MMS13 . And I am very happy that an AMERICAN COMPANY HAS GOTTEN INTO THE MINI EXCAVATOR BUSSNESS....I am looken for an AUGER attachment my my EXCAVATOR any ideas....
My yanmar 20 is almost to small.?? I tryed to take a maple out. I didn’t get 6 inches before nothing . . I can barely take big furs out. 6 foot deep. 6 hours 😮
Web site has the prices, now that is a great starting point. They need to be painted in WHITE. Black is way to hot. Aridzona starts at 100 degrees in the summer. They need a dealership in Aridzona. That is the machine I'm looking to buy, but not in Black. US aircraft have used flush type grease fitting for decades. Image if the USA went metric decades ago. Great video, your a very good spokes person, Voice is clear, information is clearly communicated You can drive them into your home operate them with the windows closed, Until you pass out. You got the teeth upside down, the reason is to allow the dirt to flow out easier.. The teeth as you have them retains more dirt. Even using round head bolts would be a plus in inside the bucket.. I plan on using this machine to remove Mesquite trees, and put them into a wood chipper. For the price , I think it is a very fair price. WHITE PAINT JOBS!
I have a Chinees tractor. I caught hell with customs over the sticker on the engine, Kohler diesel, CBP says the sticker must be on the rear of the engine, which it was, but wheel loaders mount the engine rear forward. It cost me several grand to have Kohler come out place a sticker on the FRONT of the engine before they'd release it. Hydraulics are standard European, easy to get. Chinees hydraulic compression fittings are by far the BEST hydraulic fittings I've ever used, but are hard to find locally, anywhere in the US so get use to ordering adaptors in case a hose pops you can use standard hoses. That machine looks like it only has 3/8 & 1/2 in hoses so a couple NPT to Compression fittings is all you need in an emergency to pick a standard hose from a local shop and fit it. NPT, BSP & Metric pipe threads are similar but different. If it's on pumps or valves it'll be BSPP, cylinders will be metric, trust me I'm saving you a lot of frustration
Thanks for the info. Ive been doing a lot of research lately on the fitting. Bought a tool that can identify fittings too. Ill be showing that in an upcoming video.
@@SpicerDesignsLLC Thanks The world is changing so it's something people will have to get use to. Those compression fittings can be slightly over finger tight and not leak, you don't have to crank on them
Teeth are correct how you have them. Same way the teeth on my takeuchi mini ex, mahindra tractor, amd new holland skid steer are installed from the factory.
I was thinking around $250 a day is reasonable. I would prefer to deliver and pick up myself too. So it may increase a bit. I would have a daily rate, weekend rate, and weekly rate too.
I'm with you, I've seen other you tubers videos, that got their machines directly. The cheap price almost doubled. I would rather deal with a dealer in the U.S. I have a Y H 14 on order. Ron and Adam are great to deal with. I like your videos, help to sell me on them. Se if they will give you a commision?
Ethanol actually makes an engine run cooler if the engine has the proper jetting. It also boost the octane. To avoid most of the issues with ethanol when your done using the equipment just turn off the fuel then let it run till the carb is dry. or some carbs have a drain. or if its a chain saw weed eater whatever just pour the left over fuel back into a metal gas can and store it out of the sun in a well ventilated area. plastic allows moisture contamination. Don't buy more gas than you need for about a month so it stays fresh. This will solve at least 90% of the issues with ethanol.
What degree of slope can it climb and go sideways on without tipping on its side. Looks like I would make a wider track for traction and stability. You could make custom tracks with your plasma table and some 3/16 plate and new rollers. Then you also would have the option for some spring loaded suspension for the center rollers. that would help with traction when you go across a rock or limb or anything that would hicenter a track. you could sell kits for it. It looks like so much fun to operate. You're my favorite channel on UA-cam. KEEP DOING THE GOOFY STUFF AND HAVE FUN. Life is too short to not have all the fun you can. That kymron makes me think I could buy it as a toy for me but justify it by saying is a useful peace of equipment That I could make money with. LOL Well have a wonderful day.
Thanks for the feedback. Glad to hear your liking the channel. The price point is right on these little machines for a toy or investment. Or both. They do offer that model with extendable tracks too.
I find these very interesting but there’s a couple of things that I consider a problem…. The blade on the front doesn’t stick out far enough, four more inches would be good, it will make it more stable. The roll over protection is woefully inadequate from a safety perspective…. It can be fixed with a few extra crossbars welded in place. This one is well equipped and the thumb makes it much easier to pick something up, one modification to that would be to have a switch on the right hand main joystick like a normal excavator. I still think it’s interesting, thank you for taking the time to put together this video, it was very helpful. Be blessed.
@@SpicerDesignsLLCHow much care does a painted steel bar need. How much care do screws need? It was all rusting. Otherwise the excavator didn't look like it was used much.
I dont disagree that the machines are cheap. Thats why theyre so popular. If you see one thats rusted out does that mean they all are? Mine looks like brand new still.
I bought a Ferris mower back in 2015. A friend bought the same one a week later. I got the commercial ICD deck. I needed 48" and that's what I got. It was a huge adjustment from operating a scags for years and walking behind a belt driven Bobcat. Anyway mine looks 100 times better than Mark's. Mine was in the enclosed trailer and his was on a open deck. He has almost no paint left seat has almost no cover. It alot to do with ownership.
Those teeth upside down would play havoc on your OCD! I agree tho you have it set up. What I would say is the correct way. Hey I missed the spicer buck tooth video 😢
Hey man im still having trouble setting up rotary in lightburn or something im doing is wrong can you help me out its still crashing hate it just wanna do some friggin tumblerz "its always the tumblerz"
I’m looking at a battery powered mini excavator. Sounds silly. No maintenance on engine. Not a huge $ increase over a kubota diesel. No fumes. Less noise.
I really like your humor. Reminds me of Dick Van Dyke. I have an intro/ press that like button idea. Remember when the coyote was chasing the roadrunner. There would be a painted tunnel on the wall. When he ran into it, he would get flattened. Having the keystone girl (lady) put a thumbs up button on the wall. Then you’d run and get flattened. Funny. Maybe I’m not saying this right. Anyway. Hope all is well.
I watched you use this right after you brought it home. Man, I think they are a little too small! You almost came out of the seat trying to take down some saplings! The larger one you purchased seems like a much better rig. I'd be afraid to rent the small one!
These Chinese micro excavators are too powerful for their weight and track size. The hydraulics can lift and dig far more than the counter balance. That is why he was bucking back and forth when using it.
It's about skill of operator in a small machine it's different than a large machine you have to get a feel for it more dangerous which sounds counterintuitive but is true big ones easy
The AGT 1.8Tonne is by far the best deal. It comes with a glass window cab, Airconditioning, a Pivoting boom, and controls mounted on the arm rests, like traditional machines, and not way out infront of you in a box like this one. All that for like $1000Cdn, $750usd, more. No brainer in my opinion.
Would be a lot more compelling if they had a flat rate for shipping, or handled shipping on their end instead of dumping it all on the customer once they have their money.
Depends on the company you get it through, alibaba is pretty consistent. You can get it pretty cheap if you have it transferred to a port, and pick it up for a lot less than shipping to you.
@@SpicerDesignsLLC , watched a video on another channel and the engine compartment fan kicked on when the key was turned on. Good video and I like the idea of dealing with a company in US.

It cost me several grand to have Kohler come out place a sticker on the FRONT of the engine before they'd release it. Hydraulics are standard European, easy to get. Chinees hydraulic compression fittings are by far the BEST hydraulic fittings I've ever used, but are hard to find locally, anywhere in the US so get use to ordering adaptors in case a hose pops you can use standard hoses. That machine looks like it only has 3/8 & 1/2 in hoses so a couple NPT to Compression fittings is all you need in an emergency to pick a standard hose from a local shop and fit it. NPT, BSP & Metric pipe threads are similar but different. If it's on pumps or valves it'll be BSPP, cylinders will be metric, trust me I'm saving you a lot of frustration
Thanks for the info. Ive been doing a lot of research lately on the fitting. Bought a tool that can identify fittings too. Ill be showing that in an upcoming video.
@@SpicerDesignsLLC Thanks The world is changing so it's something people will have to get use to. Those compression fittings can be slightly over finger tight and not leak, you don't have to crank on them
Well. That went just about as well as a screen door on a submarine. L O L Briggs & Stratton isn’t allowed in my garage.😂
Shiiiiiiii... take care of a B&S and it will outlast the metal holding it in place.
Yeah it would be terrible to have a motor that costs much less than $3000 to replace. Swap it out for a Honda if you're such a picky baby
Can you get armrest controls?
On the next size up you can. The gas models are all backhoe style controls as far as i know ow
How much is it?
Love watching videos on these little machines. My wife on the other hand doesn’t lol I been talking bout buying one now 😂
Haha. Our toys are expensive
We just got a defender side by side. Now I want a mini excavator 😂
Wow, what a great video! Thank you so much. I learned a lot and it was funny in some places. Cool video!
Thanks! Glad it was helpful
You can be stupid AND funny. 😉
Slapstick is one of the most pure forms of comedy. Carry on. 😄
Thank you!
Teeth are correct how you have them. Same way the teeth on my takeuchi mini ex, mahindra tractor, amd new holland skid steer are installed from the factory.
when will we see videos on the rental agreement plans and insurance?
Love the videos man.
Still have some things to work through before i get to that. Trying to have it ready for spring
@@SpicerDesignsLLC Thanks for the reply !!
Great info, thx for all the details.
Quick question how much you think that machine can be rented for per day .
" Boll Park"
I was thinking around $250 a day is reasonable. I would prefer to deliver and pick up myself too. So it may increase a bit. I would have a daily rate, weekend rate, and weekly rate too.
@@SpicerDesignsLLC thanks for the info . Sounds about right with pricing $250 is fair
I'm curious how an agt machine holds up to renting.
Idk. I wouldnt buy one of them. Ive heard nothing but problems. And no parts
That Kymron xh26d is a decent looking excavator, but for $29,900 that's high imo for anything built by China.
See, you want it cheap, how do you want China to provide you reliable products if you are reluctant to pay for what it is worth?
you seem to have missed the point that it's built in China and upgraded in US.
Ok why do you name 30k when he says he got it for 8500?
He paid 8500 for the RH14G
Great video 👍
I got the mms 1.5 ton machine it’s a great machine with pilot controls for 6500 shipped to my door and unloaded
I'm with you, I've seen other you tubers videos, that got their machines directly. The cheap price almost doubled. I would rather deal with a dealer in the U.S. I have a Y H 14 on order. Ron and Adam are great to deal with. I like your videos, help to sell me on them. Se if they will give you a commision?
Congrats on your machine. Ron and Adam are great guys. Its nice to have an affordable option for these mini excavators.
I have a KYMRON XH22D and its top notch!
Good job
Ethanol actually makes an engine run cooler if the engine has the proper jetting. It also boost the octane. To avoid most of the issues with ethanol when your done using the equipment just turn off the fuel then let it run till the carb is dry. or some carbs have a drain. or if its a chain saw weed eater whatever just pour the left over fuel back into a metal gas can and store it out of the sun in a well ventilated area. plastic allows moisture contamination. Don't buy more gas than you need for about a month so it stays fresh. This will solve at least 90% of the issues with ethanol.
More good info, thanks!
Awesome as always
I enjoy the intros. Oh without using the floor mat maybe go to HF and get some stick on grip tape
Thanks buddy!
What degree of slope can it climb and go sideways on without tipping on its side. Looks like I would make a wider track for traction and stability. You could make custom tracks with your plasma table and some 3/16 plate and new rollers. Then you also would have the option for some spring loaded suspension for the center rollers. that would help with traction when you go across a rock or limb or anything that would hicenter a track. you could sell kits for it. It looks like so much fun to operate. You're my favorite channel on UA-cam. KEEP DOING THE GOOFY STUFF AND HAVE FUN. Life is too short to not have all the fun you can. That kymron makes me think I could buy it as a toy for me but justify it by saying is a useful peace of equipment That I could make money with. LOL Well have a wonderful day.
Thanks for the feedback. Glad to hear your liking the channel. The price point is right on these little machines for a toy or investment. Or both. They do offer that model with extendable tracks too.
Works better than a shovel
Great video. Keep up the great work.
Nice Job buddy! Don’t stop the silliness now!😅 The Karen’s will always look for stuff to complain about! 🚜🙌💪🇺🇸
Thanks and very true
I find these very interesting but there’s a couple of things that I consider a problem…. The blade on the front doesn’t stick out far enough, four more inches would be good, it will make it more stable. The roll over protection is woefully inadequate from a safety perspective…. It can be fixed with a few extra crossbars welded in place. This one is well equipped and the thumb makes it much easier to pick something up, one modification to that would be to have a switch on the right hand main joystick like a normal excavator. I still think it’s interesting, thank you for taking the time to put together this video, it was very helpful. Be blessed.
And a 2 speed for transport
Were seeing chinese goods surpass US made goods not just in price. Theyre the same quality since all the jobs were shipped there 😅
Watch inside china business. He is american. You will be shocked 😲 😯
Thats a nice machine
Just saw a video of a guy that has this excavator. Everything is rusting especially if the paint got scratched but also without that.
Sounds like he doesnt take care of it.
@@SpicerDesignsLLCHow much care does a painted steel bar need. How much care do screws need? It was all rusting. Otherwise the excavator didn't look like it was used much.
I dont disagree that the machines are cheap. Thats why theyre so popular. If you see one thats rusted out does that mean they all are? Mine looks like brand new still.
I bought a Ferris mower back in 2015. A friend bought the same one a week later. I got the commercial ICD deck. I needed 48" and that's what I got. It was a huge adjustment from operating a scags for years and walking behind a belt driven Bobcat. Anyway mine looks 100 times better than Mark's. Mine was in the enclosed trailer and his was on a open deck. He has almost no paint left seat has almost no cover. It alot to do with ownership.
How deep can it dig? Ty
It's all in the video my friend.
I’d call that grading attachment “the Brazilian”
Those teeth upside down would play havoc on your OCD! I agree tho you have it set up. What I would say is the correct way. Hey I missed the spicer buck tooth video 😢
Its the grading edge i made. I thought you saw that one
@@SpicerDesignsLLC looks like I was busy that day and just liked it and never watched. I just watched and I was enjoying your skills on display.
Just need go change 4 hoses on the controls to change what you wanna operate with
Hey man im still having trouble setting up rotary in lightburn or something im doing is wrong can you help me out its still crashing hate it just wanna do some friggin tumblerz "its always the tumblerz"
Email me and ill try to work you through it. Email is in the description or my channel page
@SpicerDesignsLLC sweet brotha can I tomorrow I'm off to sleep work in the am brotha
I’m looking at a battery powered mini excavator. Sounds silly. No maintenance on engine. Not a huge $ increase over a kubota diesel. No fumes. Less noise.
@@restfulplace3273 i saw groundhog has one. Just looks pretty jerky but i like the idea of one.
How long will the battery last? And don’t park it inside in case the battery goes up in flames.
Thanks for info
I really like your humor. Reminds me of Dick Van Dyke. I have an intro/ press that like button idea. Remember when the coyote was chasing the roadrunner. There would be a painted tunnel on the wall. When he ran into it, he would get flattened. Having the keystone girl (lady) put a thumbs up button on the wall. Then you’d run and get flattened. Funny. Maybe I’m not saying this right. Anyway. Hope all is well.
Hah! Thats a good idea. I appreciate the suggestions. I might have to learn some better editing skills to make that look good.
Trailer...what type...how much. Machine entry price could easily be doubled or more by the cost of the trailer!
ahh the machine??
Gm funny as always
I watched you use this right after you brought it home. Man, I think they are a little too small! You almost came out of the seat trying to take down some saplings! The larger one you purchased seems like a much better rig. I'd be afraid to rent the small one!
These Chinese micro excavators are too powerful for their weight and track size. The hydraulics can lift and dig far more than the counter balance. That is why he was bucking back and forth when using it.
Too powerful? Surely, you're joking?@@andrewgee241
It's about skill of operator in a small machine it's different than a large machine you have to get a feel for it more dangerous which sounds counterintuitive but is true big ones easy
Die Zähne am Löffel sind bei den chinabaggern immer auf der falschen Seite angebaut, so wie du die angebaut hast sind die Zähne richtig
Ist das wirklich so?
you better off price wise to buy this than a backhoe attachment for your tractor!
You cant have too much grease... Thats true,,,,,
Where can you order one of these mini excavator at
I did go over all this info in the video. I also have website links pinned in the comments and description. Along with dealer locations.
These things are cheaper than the backhoe attachment for my tractor. 😢 Maybe time to sell it for one of these.
I agree. I considered a backhoe too. I determined the mini was more capable and maneuverable
It’s worth it…….you made me laugh
Right away i see bolts instead of pins... No protection for the boom cylinder, defiantly need that if you have a thumb.
@@-JonnyBoy- ya not ideal. Definitely a budget machine.
Can you get it with a Honda motor?
They all seem to have the briggs. Haven’t seen one with a Honda
great video! did you finance? im looking to buy one from ROn!
They do offer financing options. Rons a good guy. Easy to work with
You can order one from China for $3600, delivered and all. Just finished talking to them a week ago.
You should totally buy one from them.
no you cant.
@@adamsorell4851sure you can.
Well done. Think a 6'5" dude could fit in that "machine"?
I dont know. We could find out…. I know a guy
The AGT 1.8Tonne is by far the best deal.
It comes with a glass window cab, Airconditioning, a Pivoting boom, and controls mounted on the arm rests, like traditional machines, and not way out infront of you in a box like this one.
All that for like $1000Cdn, $750usd, more. No brainer in my opinion.
Didn't realize yours had a Pivoting boom also at first. Many of these don't.
Always comical!!!
Would be a lot more compelling if they had a flat rate for shipping, or handled shipping on their end instead of dumping it all on the customer once they have their money.
Flat rate seems unrealistic because everything is shipped to different addresses.
You know before you send cash, pretty easy to make a plan.
Depends on the company you get it through, alibaba is pretty consistent.
You can get it pretty cheap if you have it transferred to a port, and pick it up for a lot less than shipping to you.
Find a company here that has them in stock! They have them all over the US
@@JuarezDerrickany you can name ? Thanks !
I liked
Good video!
Thank you!
"This Americanized Chinese Excavator Is Just Better" might have been a more realistic title.
I dont think theres anything American on it. Its straight from China. Just has all the options the manufacturer offers.
missed opportunity for a "machine" shots counter
The intros make me chuckle. haha
Thats what i hope for. I try to keep these videos as entertaining as i can. Thanks Nathan!
Kimron add a fan to the engine compartment.
Sorry, are you asking or telling me about it?
@@SpicerDesignsLLC , watched a video on another channel and the engine compartment fan kicked on when the key was turned on. Good video and I like the idea of dealing with a company in US.
Ok got it. I thought i saw an update on Kymrons youtube channel stating they have an optional cooling fan now.
Personally I like the humor.
I can use this to build my garden. Move mulch around
Makes a good pooper scooper too
Likkkey pressed good video the falling is a bonus. Keep it up oh I am talking about the videos for real does everyone have their mind in the gutter I know I do LOL.
Hah! Thanks. I took a couple falls in the next one. Only one was staged
