I'm considering buying one. Honestly thought Harber Freight would assemble it for you before you picked it up. For my needs I was considering leaving it hooked up to a Gator or riding mower to move around easier.. Seen another video of a guy that put wheels out on the front arms to keep it more portable.
@@Jonathan32177 it’s pretty hard to just “crawl” with it. I have a gator and thought the same thing. It might also help to have it hooked to something to get more weight on it.
You can in fact put it together by yourself with a few 4x4 blocks. BUT my back would be hurting way less right now if I had a friend or used any other kind of mechanical leverage that wasn't my back. But why would I do that right 🤣 Your video was for sure helpful making sure I did it all right. I just gotta bleed the system. Should have added that because I forget how😅 last step to play time!
@@brucedale4465 I think there’s a point where it does make sense to buy this machine. It does decent for just digging trenches it’s just painfully slow. It’s not mine, I plan on buying a small four-wheel-drive tractor with a backhoe attachment. If it weighed another thousand pounds and you put another hydraulic pump on it that was faster, it would be so much more usable. I used it last week to take down a hill for a driveway and even though it’s really not the right machine for that it did pretty good. I live in a area that has tons of rocks, and I’m honestly surprised at how well it does.
