I’d recommend changing out that exhaust clamp on the s-pipe. The original cheap clamp allowed my pipe to rotate and caused a bunch of havoc. Basically it blocked off the exhaust and chocked the engine. The black soot it was blowing blocked up the original air filter with less than 20 hrs on the clock.
Just curious about the power capabilities of the machine? I've been looking at these units for some time, but I was leaning towards a diesel powered unit because of the torque. Also, I'm leery of those Chinese built motors. Thanks for the synopsis with your experience. It was insightful. Cheers!
@CJMarco-nq1yf I'd say the diesel engine would have to much power for the lifting arms etc. That would be my fear there. The motor that's on it is more than powerful imo. Think it's as much about proper maintenance ive not really heard from anyone on the channel so for with engine issues if you follow what ive done etc. The hydraulic power is more powerful than the weight of the machine. Hope that is the kinda feedback you were seeking.
@@TheJBros520 perfect! That's exactly the response I was looking for because being in the market to purchase one, I want to ensure that I'm not getting something that's going to suck-hole when I need it to move material. Cheers!
@@tmclaren01 Bucket was Top Dog Attachments near me. They can make you whatever size. Track....... Track Loader parts.com . Track - DuroForce Rubber. We have the RT-180x72x41 hope this helps
7.2k for machine in total. Throttle cable $65 new tracks at the time were $130 each think they are $160 each now. but i think $320 for both shipped to me. 1k bucket. Fluids lets say $100. So ($8,585.00). All Labor like grinding, welding and scrap metal stuff we had. Don't think I am missing anything. Hope that helps. Pending on attachments, we are definitely looking to add more.
@@TheJBros520 tbh it really comes down to you putting it to work right away and making $, which sounds like that is your case, so I think it’s a good deal if it’s making you $ right away, I don’t have contracts like that yet so going to hold out for a bit more, great review tho
