I have an AGT, i ordered some attachments from these guys and they took care of me like i bought a machine from them. Great people to deal with. I plan on getting the 45 from them next year.
That is an incredible price point! Gonna have to think long and hard between a 23, the 14s, or these new 12s.
Went to Groundhog of Texas looking at 12s and 14s. Frank is an incredible person. I didn't see a filter on ZH12Gas I recall. Does it have one?
It does have oil and hydraulic filters
Excited to see if we can make a deal work on the 40 or 70! Nice video Nick.
Could you turn the music off?
Omg. Can't hear over the music. What a waste. Really wanted to learn about this
Are the drive motors 310? Is the swivel motor a 250 or 315?
Fantastic review. I could see the quality just by looking at the website. These videos have only supported my gut instincts. I intend to make contact after I do a bit more research into the model which will best suit my needs. Keep up the good work.
Great to hear!
Is there any chance that you are bringing some of your equipment to the Farm Machinery Show in Louisville KY in February?
We won't be there this year. We have our eyes on Louisville and Vegas next year!
@@groundhogequipment awesome, I will be looking for you then.
I've seen similar units to these at a local auction. Most go for near to more than the price on this video. Add the buyers premium and you wind up paying much more. Also there's no warranty whatsoever from the auctions.
What are your best sellers of groundhog over the 1 ton models
The ZH24D-2, BH20D, BH40D, and ZH70D
is there a hydraulic filter going to the oil cooler? or any room to put one in?
There is an inline hydraulic filter to the oil cooler
I bought a zh24d recently and one of the best purchases I have made in awhile. Do you all plan on building any sit down tracked skid steers? Something compatible to like a 239 cat
No plans for sit down skids currently, but we never say never.
I have learned a lot of information from Nick on mini excavators.
Good to hear! He doesn't sugar coat anything and usually lays it all out in simple terms that most can understand.
Good video and straight forward.
I hope you are still selling these in the next year or so. I will be after one.
We'll be here next year, We'll leave the light on for ya!
Are your machines from the same manufacturer as kymron. You have a 14g and so do they. Im just curious is all i really like both.... will you sell parts to anyone?
Thanks
They are similar units alot of the parts come from the same suppliers. We retail parts to anyone in the US or Canada
what about Briggs and Stratton going under (closing shop) should we still look at this with this engine?
If B&S were to stop producing engines, the simple setup of these machines allows for other engines to be installed fairly easily.
Is the Miva the same thing? cause I would like to buy extra parts for it....
Similar for some parts, what would you need?
Can you put attachments on the boom like the post hole digger and others like the 14 and higher models can do?
Yes all the same attachments would work on this machine.
Great, thank you for the quick reply.
Will all the main parts like pumps and hydraulic motors work on a QH12 mini excavator? Incase I need those
Most parts would function on a QH, if not you can usually make modifications
I tried watching your video, but stopped after 1 minute due to the loud, intrusive music.
This is what I'm looking for bottom line what is the price of this unit if I pick it up the way you have it set up
$6,900, and stay tuned for our Groundhog Day sale 2/2-2/16
@groundhogequipment what's the price going be on them than? Also been considering the one with the side swing. Wondering if they dig any deeper or has anyone ever broken the boom mounting brackets off the cab on any of these
On the BH 14 G Pro , which tracks do you recommend Rubber or Steel !
Really depends, What do you see yourself using it for?
The cheaper unit will not have the thum hydraulic hoses. My HT10b is in the same weight class as this. I order parts from groundhog when I need parts
do you deliver or does that cost extart
We do deliver, We'll get you a shipping quote. Where would you want a ZH12G delivered?
Can you get a swing boom on this model?
Side Swing is an option for $895
Keep up the great work 😎🇺🇲
Thanks, we will!
How deep will this model dig?
The max digging depth is 5' 6"
You do answer emails fairly quickly, but once you learn the sale was not from you............................ nuttin
Apologies that was the experience. What can we help with? We try to help anyone we can, regardless of the brand of their machine.
4:21 Well I tell you I’ve been trying to buy one of these for the past eight days I’ve got nothing but the runaround I’m not hating I’m just stating the fact I’ve called North Amberland and I got phone calls back from Middleburg talk to a young lady she told me that Nick was on vacation call back again got a young man he referred me to a Michigan dealership got phone calls back from Schoolcraft Kalamazoo in Richland told me that he could get one I asked to get the serial number haven’t heard back from him yet so I don’t knowIf this is really true or not great video but when I asked if I could get the $690 deposit back if something went wrong he said no so I would be careful again I’m not hating I’m just wondering why there’s videos like this and you can’t even buy one
You need to be patient friend. It's most likely you're not their only potential customer. You're probably in their pipeline, you just need to give them time. They'll get around to you. I'd give them several weeks at a minimum 8 days is a lot to you, but for all you know they might have a 3 month or more back load
Id like to demo one but i live down south.
We're building our network of dealers, extending further south soon. We do have a dealer in NC and TN
I'd like to get my hands on one for 3 or 4 days at home and see what it does.im about 3 hours from winston salem,if yall ever need to do some real world testing tell Ole driver to drop one out on his way to winston salem from Pennsylvania. I could tear up a anvil with a rubber hammer ,so I could give yall some extenuating circumstances testing 😂.
Do these have a fan? Does the back open up? Does it have hydro filter?
They do have a fan, no rear hatch but the seat folds up for access. They do have hydro filters, the toolbox will come with an extra too.
