To paraphrase Mark Twain, sorry for the long video, if I had more time I would have made a shorter edit! Also, while this one didn't pass the test, if you want to see my good loaders go to www.nesherequipment.com and for the record, I DID check the hydraulic fluid, you guys can stop telling me it sounds empty.

@bertsteele139 2 месяца назад

@EShirako 2 месяца назад

Yeah, I just got to the 'sand tipping' portion and decided that if there really was no checking of hydraulic fluid nor charging of the shipped batteries that this is at BEST a display of Chinese metal-folding, not really a useful demo of the obviously-craptastic quality of the work put into the device. And if those batteries moved when you were 'arse-up' in the sand-pile, you might have gotten to enjoy shorting those things out when they slid around, and they wouldn't have helped with the balance of the device either. Normally I'd stick around and watch a whole video, but this time I don't feel like I'm learning anything except that "Men not reading instructions and not worrying about anything about the operation of the device" is just as pointless and useless as it ever has been, this time it's just "useless with a tractor". I'm done. I'll have to wonder if I should watch ANY of this guy's other stuff...I can get 'No idea, didn't think about anything, and didn't read the manual either' videos from Tiktok.

Come to think of it, it does sound like my Subaru's power steering pump after it's all leaked out.

@Elkarlo77 2 месяца назад

I think it doesn't have a good expansion reservoir most likely not an inline. Everyone here is right, it sounds like a system which got airbubbles in the system because it has no place where to bleed the air to. So thats how they sound. After the shipping there might be air in the system, and the system IS leaking oil at the ramms. Without a propper reservoir the system will leak more. In a normal system you have a Reservoir with an intake and outake line. Intake high Outtake at the bottom, fillercap at the top so the pump gets good airless oil from the outtake. In a Cheap System you have only the Bottom Outtake which doubles as intake. Which means that you cycle the Air in the Pipes back and forth, in a normal system you will bleed the system after 20-40 minutes working and it will quiet down. Bleeding this System is astrocious hard and any leak like at the rams will work air over time to the Pump again, without bleed inlet in a reservoir.

@Scott924m 2 месяца назад

A few things I thought !. the pump has no limiters it seems to keep trying to force fluid regardless of the fact the machine has reached it physical limit like when your force a cars power steering past its turning point the pump starts straining. 2. I didn't see you ever check the fluid level on camera which you might have but if not consider this , it may be low or have bad fluid given the low quality of the other parts they could have used some "other" fluid, try changing it with quality hydraulic fluid .

I'm sure you can spec it out how you want from the factory, better pin securement, quieter pump, wider tires, thicker gauge bucket, more ballast with the batteries placed all the way in the back. Thicker gauge wires. Proper gauges. Yes it all costs money though. Those thin tires just aren't good on sandy ground, the ground has no mechanical connection between itself and itself. Not that wider tires would help with the seeming lack of drive torque you experienced.

@randr10 2 месяца назад

I've had a little bit of experience with hydraulic components that are sourced from asia, and they tend to build just massive quantities of one kind of cylinder at a time and since they don't have any place inside to store them they just leave them outside when they move on to the next batch. They can sit outside for years before they get shipped. Some will arrive where it's apparent that they were underwater at one point, just to give you an idea of the carelessness with which some of them are stored. You really have to do your own QC with a lot of it, as I'm sure you're aware with how nice your other loaders seem to be.

Wow! A loader that I can move with my Harbor Freight trailer and 2004 Prius, their max load is 1750 pounds. I have a use case for this level of loader, or excavator, bulldozer and more would make sense for those of us caring for less than 5 acres and wanting to do 'it' ourselves. So I can only move 400 Kg at a swipe, I myself can move 10Kg per shovel full and having access to 'Heavy- Equipment' that this retired areo-space engineer can move with their passenger car and a cheep trailer is awesome! My tow limit is 1750 pounds with my rig, having an electric option I can move on my own is fabulous. Having access to an articulated excavator under the 1700 pound category almost makes my 'bucket-list.' Please remember, all of the fantastic equipment weighing 4000 pounds or more are but fabulous fantasy, or an exotic retreat in fabled lands at princely fees for some of us, for others rampant fantasy.

I wondered that too. When I was younger we lived near a place that sold “wholesale” Chinese machines. Like four wheelers, dirt bikes, UTV/ATVs, riding mowers, gas scooters etc. All sorts of things and they were complete junk but they had warranties and he sold them like hotcakes because they were only a fraction of the American made equivalents. I think China is different than here in that regard. You’ll see tons of these on construction sites in China because they’re cheap and they need a ton of them for all the worker ants around the site. Their philosophy is much different than ours. Make them fast, make them cheap and quality isn’t a worry. America is more so about quality and then working towards producing it in quantity. We’ve always been about making tools to last a lifetime and then your son’s lifetime but that requires a higher price, as you know.

@randyferraro3020 2 месяца назад

I have one of these loaders that I am very happy with. Looking at your specimen, I can honestly say that you got a real stinker. Your batteries are tiny, like little baby toy car batteries. The ones that came in mine fill the entire rear bay top to bottom, front to back, and weigh about 90lbs each x5. That makes up most of your 500 LB counterweight needed to keep from tipping when loaded near capacity. So, you are missing your counterweight. You only have 1 drive motor. That explains your power/traction and turning issue. You should have 2 motors, one at each axle pushing them independently. Instead, you have drive-shafts that reduce the usable turning capability. Strain on those shafts from the hydraulic steering may explain some of the anger coming from that machine. Also, there is a very practical reason for the folding seat. The back of the seat is the ideal location for a slow-moving traffic sign. When you tow the loader, you fold down the seat saving wind resistance and obscuring the slow traffic sign from view of highway motorists behind your trailer. It helps you easily meet DOT regulations.

Put weights on the back, also front to get more traction make a solid concrete block set eyes in it & then hook it up to your dandy merchine with your forks drill a hole through the top that attaches to the frame then put a spring loaded pin in that will stop the forks coming up?

Hearing protection required on an electric loader?

@kevincolwell3066 2 месяца назад

As someone who is just starting to look into e-bikes do you have a suggestion on where to start. A little background if it helps. I was diagnosed with MS 8 years ago and my health as of about 3 years ago made it so I can no longer work. I currently can not afford a car and am looking for an alternative to get to doctors appointments (currently have to ask for rides or use Uber). Most of my doctors are within 15 miles one way. Cash is obviously very tight and looking to see if this could be a good alternative. Any suggestions on we’re to start looking would be greatly appreciated.

That electric tractor had an amazing lack of quality. Not worth producing or buying. But you learned and now you'll look elsewhere.

China can sell to one of these or one that can pickup 80 tons in one bucket or any size in-between. It will be as good as any US made one but only 1/2 the price!

I would oddly want one its about the size I need and it can do the small stuff I want done.

Sounds like it needs some alignment, lubrication and top up of the hydraulic reservoir. Maybe first dump the hydraulic oil and put it through a sieve to get rid of the swarf. TLC will fix it and at half the cost, worth the investment in time.

That would make for an Economy yard cart to get around from garden to garden , with effective hearing protection, but it would hardly turn my compost without some bucking bronco shenanigans!!!

@bewilderbeestie 2 месяца назад

That's probably the best thing to do with it. Rip out all the hydraulics (including that awful pump), chop off the loader stuff, stick a tow hitch on the back, and you might have something vaguely useful.

@billmiller4800 2 месяца назад

I like your comments at the end. Too many people forget that low price has to come from somewhere. There are lots of crap quality products made in their country, and China is no different. I think if this unit is really inexpensive, a bit of DIY could make it useful (2 nuts welded to the forks could attach them better, a 100kg weight could fix the tippy behaviour, etc...)... but would only be an option if it was really cheap compared to other options (I mean something like half price). One bonus, it doesn't need a reverse beeper because it's so noisy!!

@tomcardale5596 2 месяца назад

I don't mind getting a loader lifting the back in the air. It's when it lifts the front I need a new pair of trousers. The front anxle doesn't pivot, the back does. And when you've got a load a bit too high above your head, it gets very scary very quick!

@terrylutke 2 месяца назад

Over all the loader seems too light, maybe adding wheel weights would help. The loud pump is pretty annoying, engineers probably choose the wrong style pump (sounds like a pickup snow plow blade going up/down). It looks cheap (it probably is cheap:). It might be a tempting value, if not for killer shipping & customs cost.

@eddiestevenson-kaatsch6306 2 месяца назад

It's the sort of thing you could use to muck-out the stables, light jobs like that. Price would be the defining factor regarding retailing it for light duty only tasks.

@tarstarkusz 2 месяца назад

Isn't there a space to install counterweights? Most forklifts and tractors have counterweights to prevent the lifting of the rear off the ground.

@elgringodelasscooters9616 2 месяца назад

Try swaping to lithium battery packs also place a seperate pack for driving and other for hydraulics. Recommended battery 21700 samsung 50s, you can make a huge battery to fit theres and it will perform wayyy better.

@RuossFamilyAdventures 2 месяца назад

Why not try putting bigger tires on that loader and then load them full with weight and see how it does? Then that would be a good project and see how things work then because loaded tires are usually in tractors did you ever check the hydraulic fluid in it or power steering fluid?

had the same plunger switch for my first car, an 86 crown vic ltd wagon hehehe. eventually replaced it with a household lightswitch actually. good times.

@mrgw98 2 месяца назад

I mean no offense by this, but why did you get this? It looks very similar in proportions to your L880 Nesher you compared it too, minus the height because of the roll cage. I could be mistaken though as it's always hard to tell on camera without direct side-by-side shots.

@mattphilip3266 2 месяца назад

Love your videos. Can't say where I was consulting when I learned this, but it's common practice in some Chinese factories to increase forklift capacity by putting bags of salt or sand (usually 150lbs of the stuff) behind the driver. Obviously that didn't meet the safety standards we hoped for at the time, so they at least started strapping them down 😂. Biggest issue was ensuring the floor had enough capacity (it didn't).

@charlesurrea1451 2 месяца назад

I think the noise is from cavitation. Definitely slapped together. I was hoping that a schematic would have been included with mine. I want to put in a rectangular panel meter. They're only like 20 bucks and super easy to calibrate.

Wonder how it would work for snow. Any chance of an extra hydro line for a snow blower or front brush?

@Mike-oy9vj Месяц назад

It sounds like it has a airless paint sprayer as a hydraulic pump. If you put two sets of batteries in it. It take care of those maxing out problems one set for the drive one for the hydraulic and more counter weight to carry the sand .

@jasont80 2 месяца назад

As a relatively cheap machine that would be easy to work on, I like it! It just needs a seat sensor to shut off the hydraulics. Drill and add some pins to hold the forks in place. Maybe add some counter-weights to the back.

@HRDBMW 10 дней назад

The noise is definitely concerning. Aside from the bad turning radius, And tires that look like they will not last a single day, it would be a handy machine. Can you attach a digger to it?

@robertrabhudsonhornet5869 Месяц назад

To me it sounds like the hydraulic fluid maybe low being that it's winning the forks need to be modified and it needs some weight in the back. I like the other one you have it works much better. Wow it needs a lot more if I was to keep it I would have to do a lot of upgrades and fix a bunch of things that's said that they ripped you off on the batteries and one of the pins and you paid extra for painting it and it was a very por job

@Adam-ox6zy 2 месяца назад

The ‘phone you are using’ analogy is nuanced though. For example the iPhone is made basically by an American company in China. Everything is done to US and international spec. The people directing those people making the phones know what they want and what they are doing. However, a Chinese company (usually state owned) without any such direction will not produce a product equal to an iPhone. I’ve also seen it in medical equipment when comparing Sonosite ultrasound machines compared to Sonoscape ultrasound machines. Or Philips defibrillators compared to Mindray defibrillators. They are kinda close but not to the same spec of operation or build quality.

@emilyblade9676 2 месяца назад

State owned for this machine or company, you cant be serious? Most likely a small company making for small farmers or country residents in China at a cheap price. It's built for local Chinese usage at a low low price for those that cant afford better.

@Slider68 2 месяца назад

I fold my tractor's seat down when it rains, and I want to keep it dry. It would be interesting to see if it can lift the rated load if you add ballast to the rear. Although it is clearly a low-end machine, if the price is low enough, it could still be a good deal. Compared to shoveling and moving things by hand, a low-enough priced loader would still be a lot easier and would be worth buying for some people... How much would it cost to buy one? How much more does the product that you currently sell cost?

@Slider68 2 месяца назад

Another thought on the lift capacity: how much would the batteries weight of they hadn't screwed up and had sent you the correct ones? The extra weight would add rear ballast and help keep those rear tires on the ground.

@Maybe1Someday Месяц назад

Id rather have a old Snapper mower then that thing. What would it be used for carrying groceries?

@hughrs 2 месяца назад

You need to currel more as you're lifting and if you put more batteries or counter weigh in the rear it would be able to lift more without tipping, it has the power just not enough counter weight
