2 week review 2 ton excavator from Alibaba 

Subbed back thanks. Tonight I'll watch your vids.

Get closer, use front blade to move large ones

I think you need a five ton for that property , but we’ll done

@@doylemaintenance now this is how the RU-vid community should be!

It's a diesel engine. The shut-down happens as a result of cutting off the fuel supply, no chance of washing bores etc. Even a petrol/gasoline engine would do the same.

Excessive low idling wears the rings the fastest. That occurs when it’s not hot enough for long periods of time and the rings aren’t expanded enough to keep fuel and oil on their respective sides

Man shut up. You know shit

I've always throttled down any gas or diesel powered engine to minimize radical temperature swing. I was always under the understanding that it was very bad to shut them off at high rpms.

Nice !! When did they say it would arrive?

@@doylemaintenance Ok “just” was a bit of a stretch. Long enough ago that it should arrive in a few weeks!

Hi could you say me what does mean that the agent does not answer your question clearly?

The translation is difficult. @@lianagasparyan4473

Are you in Canada? What was the total cost ?

Where are you and what was total cost?

how did the machine work out for you?

Haha no, it was but a scrape. I went to the A. Camarata school of maintenance.

Through Alibaba its easy and secure. I bought mine from LTMG they sell through Alibaba is like ebay for China. I am so far happy with my purchase there are cheaper ones but I find the quality of my machine is very close to the brand name ones. Register on Alibaba and search LTMG or XIAMEN LTMG CO.,LTD. is the parent company. they have a youtube channel as well. Shipping to toronto was 4800 u.s. it ships by boat to Vancouver then train to Mississauga so if your closer it may be less. The manufacturing took 6 weeks then the shipping was around 2 months because of shipping delays due to current conditions normally would take only 30 days to arrive in BC. Lucy was my contact at the company she arranged everything. All I needed to do was organize with the customs broker that was notified to me by the shipping company and I went with my truck and trailer to wharehouse in Miss. for pick up myself. Buy any extra buckets and thumbs through LTMG and have them shipped with machine the prices are cheap and you get ones that fit the machine. I should have got a narrow bucket for trenching cables and water lines but I forgot.

Hello, I am an excavator manufacturer from China, we have small excavators with Kubota engines. I will give you a good price. If you are interested, please contact me.

How much did it cost all together for the machine shipping customs everything? Extra buckets etc..

@@doylemaintenance I'm considering one of these as well as I live in the GTA and the cost of a 2 ton machine new from a dealer here is pushing 70k, but it looks like you get what you pay for. My little 1 ton Kubota wouldn't have too much issue picking up that boulder that the machine here struggled with.

@@kylequinn1963 so your saying a 2,000 lb machine can pick up a 3 thousand pound boulder ROFL prove it!!

Ha ha yes, I have one but it's for my skid steer.

I Did it😃 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sq5c0LTr3Wo.html

No I think that's the same machine. I think when I bought mine they called it a 2 ton but it's really only 1.8. I'm not absolutely sure though. You'll love it. For the price it's worth having.

i believe he said 27k cdn(including 5k for shipping)

Hello, I am an excavator manufacturer from China, we have small excavators with Kubota engines，compliant with EPA standards. Are you interested？

It’s really hard to buy it, you’re looking at 15k for the machine, approx “$4k” to them for shipping, then they try to upcharge another 4k for “US emissions compliant engine” like a Kubota engine instead of their regular cheap diesel, then you have to pay approx 5k in US customs and like 3k for the freight over seas, buying the Chinese mini is kinda a scam, cuz you think you’ll have one for 15k and it ends up being closer to 30, I had a lot of stress with the sellers lying and scamming, had to go through all the legal actions to get it canceled and refunded which took like 4 months, and ended up just buying a used cat 302.7 for 20k, that’s kinda what ppl need to know before buying a Chinese mini

Wow what a pain, thanks for the info, i kind of thought they were too good to be true but was not sure.

Ben what are you talking about? None of those shipping and customs figures are even close to being correct. If that was the case a tv you buy at Walmart made in china would cost $5k. Yes there is a tariff to pay on imported goods but it’s not $5k for a $12k machine. You can get a whole 20’ shipping container shipped from china to USA for like $1800. You must have been dealing with some scammers. I’ve been buying from china for years and never paid those kinds of prices for tariff and shipping.

@@lucasbrown-ui9mu he's not totally wrong about customs duties and taxes. he's in the USA, presumably this machine is subject to US section 301 duties (Trade war with China) which are likely 25% on top of regular duties for machinery of this type, plus taxes. People are being fleeced if they're paying $5k for shipping for something like this - you could probably arrange for something cheaper yourself. Then again, if you were trying to buy during peak shipping season or during COVID prices may have been outrageous like that. Prices are down now. The manufacturer may be obligated to not provide a non-US spec diesel engine for a machine that is to be used in the USA. It's possible the import could be seized for not following EPA regulations, and before you say it's impossible for the EPA to find out, any machine of this type has information automatically passed to both CBP and the EPA and likely a few other agencies as part of a routine customs clearance. If the EPA knows manufacturer XYZ is routinely sending noncompliant products to the USA, they will start inspecting every container and busting the importers for it. I work in the global logistics industry and am highly familiar with costs and import laws, taxes and duties.

Good question. Ground is frozen here not using for groundwork. I did break the door on my tractor last month with its enclosed cab and cost me 1000 bucks to repair. currently I am using the excavator for tree clearing of cut trees, cab not an issue for me as i'm already bundled up. Plus with a cab you need air conditioning, thats just something else to break. My bud's kabota air conditioning is broke and he cooks inside the machine.

@@doylemaintenance I think being frozen or overheating is less a concern for me in my climate although I can see fogging up with moisture and humidity being a real PITA for me possibly. I have a residential tree service so my intent would be to put it to work mini-logging people's backyards. I'm eyeing up a rotating log grapple and also a tilting bucket and hydraulic thumb I agree are almost essential. Are there any additional attachments you wish you had purchased right away or intend to pickup?

@@capogiraffe Yes fogging up is a pain in my tractor sometimes. I would definetly get the rotating grapple and a ripper claw for roots, the tilting bucket i have i have never used the tilting feature at all but have used that bucket for different things due to its capacity but never needed the tilting feature ever yet. Hydraulic Thumb is a must.

Would be different for everybody depending on location. It was around 24500 can approx.

No never, gravel sometimes gets in there and gets pushed out pretty easy. Only time they got stuck was tempeture dropping below freezing over night and tracks freeze.

thanks. I use mine in sand soil all the time. And if I turn and sand get in the tracks the track won't turn. I have to run backwards and forward again@@doylemaintenance

No offence taken. My review was for the average joe that might buy or want to buy a cheap alternative. If you are a professional you would not be buying a Chinese knockoff to begin with, am I right? I now have had this machine for 5 months and maybe I'll do another update, but it would pretty much copy this one as my opinions really haven't changed much about it.

It's in the video. First 2 minutes.lol

Not sure, I may try to set up a video lifting some stuff that I know the weight of.

13,500 u.s plus shipping to Ontario Canada was 4800 u.s. so 18,300 total u.s direct from LTMG

Hello, I am an excavator manufacturer from China, we have small excavators with Kubota engines. I will give you a good price. If you are interested, please contact me.

@@doylemaintenance Hi, how come the shipping will cost 4800 us$? I was told 300-400 us$ to Montreal. Are there any hiden fee on top of the shipping cost?

@@canadianosprey that's what it cost up front back when I had it delivered.

​ think he paid so much because he needed it shipped from Vancouver to mississauga. If you get it shipped to a port and pick it up there the shipping will be much cheaper. I was quoted $600 to Montreal port.

Was 13,500 u.s. before shipping. Just search LTMG on alibaba that's how I communicated with them. 😊 thanks

With whom you communicate from LTMG? Could you say me name ? Because I want to buy equipment too

@@doylemaintenanceDoes this price include any accesories?

Yes I saw those, great for larger peices. For firewood people throw the big stumps away cause to hard to mess with but the screw attachment would make them more managable.

@@doylemaintenance I was taught to break them with the hammer on a back hoe.

Hello, I am an excavator manufacturer from China, we have small excavators with Kubota engines. I will give you a good price. If you are interested, please contact me.

Was roughly 26,000 thousand canadian to my driveway, most of the cost is shipping over 7,000 for that. Canadian money. So machine alone was only 19 canadian if you can pick it up lol

@@doylemaintenance hi thanks for your valued info wasnt there taxes or duty at customs to pay. thanks

@@Chicoeat yes only hst on top of that. No duty.

They gave me a epa paper with it but I was not asked for it. Maybe the broker looked after that.

@@doylemaintenance because I intend to import a second use excavator from china in europe, but I need to have all cost I don’t want to get additionnal cost

@@antoineturpin9201 not sure about used one.

Purchase price was 13500 u s. Plus shipping

In December 2021 it was around $13,900 u.s for excavator plus $4,800 u.s for shipping to central Canada.

@@doylemaintenance Damn thats a price !!! I see there are excavators for around 5000US they are selling , thank you and have good time using the machine!

@@kristiyanpetrov6847 Oh wow the ones I saw are 10,000 u.s. but they are gas models and only .8 ton machines. Do you have a link to those 5,000 dollar ones? Do they have 18hp Kubota diesels and are 2 ton machines?? Thanks

@@doylemaintenance did you look at a Sany?? For the total price your saying seems close to a Sany ??

@@paulmollise1856 Yes I did in fact. Dealer in Sudbury had a similar model as mine for 39,000 canadian still 12,000 more than mine cost. I could be wrong though as I called him back 8 months ago. Whatever the price was it was more. I have no problem with Sany or Sunward but when you resale its still considered a knock off and resale will be much less than a brand name unit. I bought mine because I'm pretty sure I'll have it for 20 years or more and not worried about resale. All the componants on mine are pretty standard stuff.

No I think the ones with Kubota or Yanmar engines are CSA approved as long as they are less than 25 hp from what I was told. Mine is 18 hp. Imported in April 2022 no issues.

@@doylemaintenance did I hear you right your total payment was over 20k I thought I heard you say 27? Also impressive strength picikingvup fully extended.

@@jaymott5191 I quote different numbers with and without shipping depending on what people ask, some people if on the west coast it would cost less because lower shipping cost. Machine was 13600 u.s shipping was 4800 u.s. wharehouse fee was 300 canadian, I drove 5 hours to get it from wharehouse in mississauga so i did not include that cost, exchange at the time for canadian was around 1.33 on the dollar.

Damn that’s not quite $27k but thanks for the info. It’s impressive. So around $18-20k is what you spent after all said and done? How long did it take to get it?

The 5k was from China to Vancouver to Toronto. I paid the whole trip. It came from Vancouver on a train. The shipping was expensive during the height of covid.

Easy peasy. The import customs company did all the paperwork. I just picked it up at a terminal in mississauga. The importer was arranged by manufacturer to contact me.

@@doylemaintenance What company in China did you use and would you recommend them? Thanks for the reply by the way.

@@fsj66 I explained all that in video

The manufacturer took care of it all

Check out my 1 year review vid I did last month. No issues.

Machine was 13500 u.s. but back in 2021 shipping was 5000 u.s. it's alot cheaper now.

Kubota diesel 18hp

Ltmg took care of that form me

It is

This is from LTMG when i asked for specs on my machine. The 2ton excavator comes with Kubota EPA engine. The hydraulic pump flow is 36l/min.

13500 u.s. plus shipping from china

It depends on how far away the weight is . If you have the boom all the way out probably 100 lbs. If closer to machine maybe 300 lbs

@@doylemaintenance Interesting because a 1 ton chinese excavator with gas engine picked up around 600 lbs fully extended before it started tipping, it still had hydraulic power left.

@@Jtwizzle ok ya since my post 3 months back I can pick up around 1000 lbs close to cab then extend it out to the farthest reach without it tipping. It can hold it out there but cannot lift it further up.

in video😁

Is it that company in Pennsylvania?

Which manufacturer? The bulk of my shipping charge was to get it from british columbia to toronto by train. Its around 3,300kms by rail

@@doylemaintenance LTMG I asked them on Alibaba, same model as yours I think, the LTE20

@@ludditetechnologies yes thats it

Me again (thanks for your replies so far appreciate it) So with sending them money it is slightly nerve wracking, were you nervous to do that?

@@ludditetechnologies No not at all, they are a big company and you have the security of Alibaba, LTMG does not get there money untill 30 days after you send the balance that you pay once the machine is ready to ship. How long did they say before its ready to ship? mine was around 65 days to be built as they had none in stock I had to wait to get it built.

subscribed to you. ill get vid later today for ya.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-98AmMje6v8g.html did a short vid on my extension arms

Interesting .....you've seen it in person. Still working fantastic 8 months later no issues. Thanks for your comment. I would buy again from LTMG.
