Getting to the bottom of where these machines are made and who actually makes them isn’t an easy task. I have located the manufacturer and have a factory tour to share with you.
I ordered my machine from Dean Sun at Derette on Alibaba. Click here to see the machine I bought and contact Dean on Alibaba. Or you can email him below. Let him know you found him though this video.

That was impressive. Basically, these machines are hand-made. Chinese factories get a bad wrap for automated cheap production. But this looked like a small operation you might see anywhere, doing the work by hand. No robots except the cutter. Yes the shop needs sweeping out and yes all the fire extinguishers are at the exit. But this is also hallmarks of a small shop. I like it. I can relate to it. We all know local shops like this where it may not be the cleanest place but they are the go-to for whatever they do. I got that feeling from this. Thanks for sharing it!

@OurLifeInTrees 26 дней назад

Yes. That’s what it looks like. No big bad production line. Just a few guys making it happen. I don’t have any issues with mine. My track came off yesterday and I was able to put it back on in a few minutes. Not bad! I think the track was off due to user error. Sigh….. I’m glad the video was useful and informative.

While I'm all for being able to purchase a low priced mini skid steer that was made abroad, I am concerned about the quality of some of the steel that they use for the more critical components? While this looks very impressive, I've seen videos of guys replacing components early on in their use because these parts don't wear well. Im okay with the Honda and Perkins or Kubota motors. Skiddish about the Chinese motors.

@OurLifeInTrees 2 дня назад

@Jonathan-L 23 дня назад

Hi Googleboy7, is it an easy process to place an order, arrange payment when buying direct from China? I'm contemplating getting a ripper attachement for a Cat M315 excavator. I've found a factory on the internet, located at Yantai (Shandong province) who makes the attachment, but of course I can't expect the buying process to be a simple as ordering a screwdriver from Aliexpress. Perhaps I need to engage a 'freight forwarding' agent in my country who can handle all the necessary aspects of the ordering, payment & delivery? I welcome any ideas. Cheers from the south west coast of the island of Australia :)

@@gunnerranch My mini excavator was that way. But this skid steer, there was nothing I needed to do to it and I’m 15 hours in. Definitely a difference in quality.

@AndTheCorrectAnswerIs 25 дней назад

They REALLY need a production manager who knows how to clean, organize, and streamline their production space. Simple pallet racking would save tons of production space and allow a much better workflow. I am convinced that most of the Chinese quality problems that customers experience stem from the lack of organization and the random approach to production in Chinese factories. They should go tour Japanese, German, or American factories.

@joep1253 25 дней назад

I was thinking the same thing, the workflow is chaotic. It’s no wonder they have quality issues. They could learn a lot from modern manufacturing processes.

@OurLifeInTrees 24 дня назад

Some would help. Yet these machines don’t seem to have quality issues like some others or older Chinese equipment.

@OurLifeInTrees 27 дней назад

That’s a great question. The V1000 costs more and is heavier. With my 1/2 ton truck, I wanted lighter. I was trying to pick up some logs today, and wished the machine weighed more. I hear the v1000 controls are a lot better to control the operation. I plan to get a v1000 and compare the two in the future.
