The build quality is not bad for the price! You pay a lot for the Kubota or Bobcat name, but the build quality is way better but at 4x the price. One of these with a hydraulic thumb is all the machine I'd need for handling logs in my woodyard for firewood production.
This Chinaman approves your video! Been looking at Agrotk NT30 and NT45 and also CFG STE35SR and CFG KU45 looking at what to bid on, seems like the bigger the better but trying to transport a 45 on a 10,000# trailer with a Tundra might be a challenge until I get a Diesel dually with a 20,000# trailer. Look forward to seeing more of your videos.
yep! his videos are what got me doing RU-vid in the first place! my stuff is going to be somewhere inbetween him and whistling diesel. save the old stuff, beat on the newer crap
I think I seen these at a Ritchie Auction in central CA. It appeared there was a sh.t of em there. Great video of their capabilities here…would of never thought about owning one.✌️
Getchu some vinyl top adhesive and spray it on with a $18 Harbor Freight spray gun with the biggest tip and the headliner will never come down! Nice review! I want one!
I have one of those. The auxiliary hydrolic controls are in the control handles. Buttons right in the middle. I asked SDJK and it took two days for them to find them.
@@prosperity4444to put things like a claw on it so that you can lift things easily. It doesn't have the mount for a claw on it but you can have one welded on
That new mini excavator looks really good....compared to your older Chinese ex anyways lol. I'm actually wanting to get one of these in the future for doing some of the smaller landscape jobs I do
Thank you for posting this video! I just bought one of these at Ritchie at a really great price. Your how much can it lift really helped as I also bought an 800lb saw mill. The nt30 was able to "stick lift" it onto my trailer with no problem. I could only use the boom lift if it was really close. Kind of a bummer that this machine takes different attachments and uses 30mm pins, none of the cheap "1 ton" accessories will work. I think Cat 301 attachments fit? I need to double check the mounting dimensions. Thanks again!
I keep re-watching this video. You guys are hilarious. Seriously though could this thing actually be a viable option for regular Joes? Looking forward to seeing how it performs for you. If you guys think this is a decent option please let us know and maybe give us some accurate specs the Chinese specs seem to be all over the place on this model. actual weight and reach would be good to know. Keep up the great videos and hurry up and make another one. 👍
They are good for personal use. If you are trying to make a living and got to deliver on time get a john deere. I have seen lots of old cat and deere and Volvo, and Clark equipment where the hour meters wear out before the machine. Usually the hour meters quit working around 23,047.09 -34,567.33 hours. Id be surprised if you could get any serious work done with these and make it past 3000 hours. The problem with these is the cheap quality material used. Its not the welds are bad. The steel, the bolts, the seals, all cheaper and weaker than quality components. I know. I have a 14,000 lb 2022 year model Chinese piece of junk setting in my shop. Has 6 hours on it. The engine is good at least. Everything else is the problem.
$14.5K is a steal! AGT sells them for $19.3K out of Chicago (which is still a decent price). I paid $14K for a 1.6T Chinese mini, incl tax/duties, direct from the manufacturer. Yes, got 3 buckets, drill motor, drill bits, but damn, $14.5K is a ripper of a deal. I see shitty gas engine 1T chinese minis selling for $8K plus auction fees/taxes/shipping, so $10+K all-in. I never ran a piece of equipment with AC - you young-uns are spoiled. Heck, most didn't even have a friggin fan.
I got a diesel welder, a gas welder, 2 electric welders. I will take one of these excavators. Looks good to me for what it is for. The John Deere 120 I got is for the bigger stuff.
You should be paid by these companies for each sale of that small mini ex u basically sold me on buying one for my property i just got it one month after purchase and love it!
I bought a NT30. But I didn’t get a users manual or parts breakdown . I’m having a problem with the tracks wanting to roll off. It looks like the rollers on the bottom have single male roller that isn’t deep enough to keep it lined up. I also have a IHI 1 ton. The rollers on it roll on the outside. I would like to have a pump on hand can you help out?
Thx for the info. on these. Looks like I’ll be heading to an auction in a few years when I retire. I need a bigger one though, maybe a Deere from 5-10 years old. I’m rambling bro. Subbed.
I got the Groundhog ZH20D. Came with a hydraulic thumb. 20 HP Kabota diesel engine. Weighs about 3000lbs. Cost less than $20,000 including taxes, transport 5 hours away and several attachments as well as no cab.
How do you like it? I looked at buying one but would have to drive too far to see one in person. Ended up buying a LiuGong 9018. Similar in size. I paid $25,200. I like the machine but the dealer is worthless.
@@MrSuperchargeron I really enjoy my machine however if I had waited 1 year I would have gotten an improved/upgraded model for not much more money Have over 100 hours and still running strong.
Where are you getting these? I will cobble parts back together to repair. I wish you could get these at someone's yard for sale. Lol. I know you said at auction but?
@@RateReducerI have a 20 size . Kubota motor. It's got 200 on it there is small bit of wear on cheap quick connect . After changing all the grease zerks I keep up on it and it's still tight . It is Chinese made keep in mind . I don't expect it to be a bobcat or jcb mini
The problem is that is 14k out. after you use this as hard as the others, it will break down and completely loose its value. VS a john deer, bob cat, you can use it and it will decrease in value a bit, but if you take care of it, it will sell pretty close to what you bought it for.
Do you still use your NT30? How has it been? Thinking of possibly picking one of these NT30's or the NT45's here soon for my farm and sawmill. Would love to hear how you have found the NT30 to be and how it has been doing.
Hello sir I was wondering if you figured out the auxiliary hydraulics? I just bought a NT45 and I only have a single auxiliary button on the right joystick
The place I got it from in Tennessee has only ever imported two of them. This size is still kinda rare. Ive seen a guy sell the same machine for 27,000.
You are wrong! Chinese people don't buy this kind of junk product! The price of this excavator in China is 2k-7k, and Chinese people don't like it at all! 99% are exported to Europe and the United States! The reason for the auction is that the quality is too poor. If you sell in China, you must after-sales service, repair and replace accessories! Bad merchants can't afford to pay for it every day. If the Chinese buy it, they will complain to the government department responsible for the quality! Merchants will lose money! Return the goods!
Several Chinese brands in the United States are middlemen. They look for goods everywhere in China and sweep goods at low prices, reducing quality and cost infinitely! Only make money and don't care about after-sales service!
Ergonomics aren't great and not a machine you would want if you spent a lot of time running But maybe for a small plumbing co. or a homestead farm this seems like a good deal Plus under 15 k plus it has a Perkins engine
Would you recommend a Chinese digger? I have a tractor already so not I don’t know what to purchase next 🤦🏻♂️😀🤣 my obsession for tractors and machinery is getting out of control
Do a video, picking up an excavator, picking up an excavator that is picking up and excavator! So three excavators… maybe if you’re feeling wild, do 4… an excavator picking up an excavator that is picking up and excavator picking up an excavator
Do what i did to my chinese mini excavator i have a ht15, i bought a tandem 8cc hyd pump for it and replaced the original which i think was tandem 4cc. It is an animal now
