We use our Chinese mini excavator and the auger for the 1st time. Changing the 40cm bucket for the auger motor and fit the hydraulic lines. Test the auger in the workshop and then head out to the field to start digging fence posts.
Ian & Julie are building their tiny homestead and soon to be starting the biggest project of their lives - a Passive House Container Home which will be totally off grid.

You may have already mentioned this in a different video - how much did you pay for the mini ex? I am very interested in getting one, havent decided between that and a Dingo - type machine.

@canadianobserver5552 2 года назад

Hi from 🇨🇦. Those controls are super sensitive..perhaps a fingertip touch as opposed to a grip might help ..the fingers and wrist have better motor control than shoulder and biceps..just touch the joysticks with the tips, and use finger instead of arm...🥂 At least until you get used to it.. another way I get used to the controls is to throttle down and play with it for a bit...doing light tasks...and throttle up according to load needs..just don't lug the diesel engine..you won't always need full throttle...Guage it accordingly ..and take advantage of the blade stabling..perhaps consider bolt on extension wings to widen it when needed...and when removing the auger from the hole, stop rotation first beforehand, it'll clear the hole better ..

I would recommend a quick connector for the 3rd hydraulics for two reasons. 1) ease of installing hoses. 2) Keep from loosing hydraulic oil. Also get the rubber covers to keep them from rusting when not in use.

A little advice for smooth operation. Try to use two hydraulics at the same time. If you only move one cylinder at a time it's too much force. If you use two it cuts the jerkiness. Try to move the boom and the jib at the same time.

Hi, great mini excavator, did you know that the blade when pushed down will lift the tracks up and will act like stabilizing feet, which you see on cranes etc. Also a little tip, if you raise the blade before driving off your trailer, it won't dig into the ground. Hope you have lots of good use with it. Thanks for sharing videos, cheers

@TF856 2 года назад

A lot of construction equipment has a metal collar welded around grease fittings to protect them when digging and they do the same thing on the wheels to protect the valve stem. If that metal collar fills up with dirt then you could use a double female nipple welded around the valve stem or grease zerk and put a screw in plug in it. Then you will have to take that one plug out to grease that nipple instead of having to take out a plug and screw in a zerk fitting to grease, and reverse the process every time.

@HomesteadingUncontained 2 года назад

I will find a cap to put over them - or plug it up with grease. Will play around with it.

Homesteader in ky. Only thing I'd of done differently is pulled the tractor bucket up next to the hole so I didn't have to pack the post. Then raise the bucket and it would of tilted right in the hole. I'd of tamped the dirt in the bottom with the post in to stabilize the post more, and also cut the post off flat at the bottom. Still a good job though. It'll hold.

G-day from Australia. I was going to buy one of these but in the end I have decided to go one model up to a 1.5T unit with a 3 cylinder Kubota engine. A lot less noise and smoke. Everything else about it is slightly more robust than the 1T unit and it has a swing boom. However there is a big difference in the operation. It is not so jerky and 60% more power delivered more smoothly via a better pump with a higher flow rate and pressure. The draw back is that it is a bunch more money we didn't budget for and it also exceeds the load rating of the ramp on my trailer. I had just assumed that mine will come with hydraulic quick release lines. If it comes like yours then I think I'll change the fittings.

The bigger machine is so much better and I did have some options 2nd hand here (although still big money) but I have to transport it to the build site and I only have a 1.3tonne trailer so I had to go for the smaller model - jealous though, as I do like the 1.5 tonne.....😉

This may have been mentioned before but you can put stilts on the tailgate of your trailer to keep it from tipping down that way. When the tailgate is down the stilts will be close to ground level so when you drive out it won't be lifting the back of your other tractor off the ground. On flat ground, the way you have it will not make much difference. But if you try to unload on a hillside and that trailer is going to lift the back of the tractor and the whole thing's going to go rolling down the hill. With those legs on the tailgate of the trailer it'll also make it possible to load and unload the trailer without being hooked up to another vehicle. Or you could just put blocks behind the trailer wheels when you unload on a hillside. I used to have a small trailer that had drop legs mounted at the back end of the frame. I just loosen the screws and drop the legs and tighten the screw to do the same thing so I can load and unload the trailer without having it hooked up to a truck.

Thank you for the video IBC code The depth of the footing is 1/6 the pole length. 120 cm pole x 1/6=20cm So actually you need a 140 cm pole Because 20 cm will be buried. Take care

@HomesteadingUncontained 2 года назад

Thanks for the detailed comment - I am trying to dig as deep as I can as these posts are 3metres long. Then I will trim to height.

@ericcampbell285 2 года назад

I've watched your first two videos with this machine. Is that s high as your blade goes? If not raise it higher when moving it especially when loading and unloading. The blade is to help keep it from pulling itself while digging and to grade when finished. Also you don't have to hang your boom out so far when loading or unloading

@HomesteadingUncontained 2 года назад

Unfortunately it is the highest it goes - I looked to see if I could modify it but other than putting in a smaller ram, I can't do much about it.

@petersmith5199 2 года назад

I think you did very well for your 1st attempt. Your choice of machine and wfe are both top dollar too! I've heard stories of Chinese mechanical stuff, buggies trikes etc letting people down because of parts failure due to lack of lubricants. I would check everything, just in case. And one last thing, give it a spray over with wd40 or even wax furniture polish to keep the rot away. Dust will adhere to it, but dust won't make it look like a rust bucket next year. Kind regards to you both.

@HomesteadingUncontained 2 года назад

I have checked it all over and it looks, feels pretty tough. Engine is just a lawnmower unit so nothing too hard to fix if needed. 👍🏻

@TreeChangeFarmer 2 года назад

Great to see the auger in use. I have the top mount reversed to you so I can leave the drill connected and it can tilt back towards the cab when moving. Good to have Julie as the spotter to maker sure the drill is vertical. I dig about half way then reverse the digger about 200mm and drill again and it seems to keep the hole straight. I am converting the hose connections to quick connect couplers and will have a video up soon. Cheers, Dave.

@HomesteadingUncontained 2 года назад

Cheers. I was thinking about the quick release fittings too. Also, what size threaded grease nipples did you use when you swapped them out. Trying to find some locally to do the same.

@TreeChangeFarmer 2 года назад

The grease nipple is metric and from memory is 8 mm. The 1/4" BSB is the wrong thread. Gotta grease the digger as there seems little is done at the factory.

@steveboyer4137 Год назад

tThe grease fitting you showed is actually for a needle attachment for your grease gun. They work really well. A normal grease nipple in that area might get sheared off.

@HomesteadingUncontained Год назад

Yes, I went back and changed out the grease nipples to the needle ones on the bucket as I realised afterwards there could be an issue. Cheers for commenting

@diamondpressco2673 2 года назад

@@HomesteadingUncontained figured someone already told you but seems they didnt, also push down the front bucket taking the weight off of the the front of the tractor, now with the wieght on the bucket act like ur going to swing the machine around with the joystick while pushing down on one pedal to make one track spin. sounds crazy now that ive typed it but once you learn this you will be able to place the machine any which way you want it and it will help you tramensly . mainly when u want to turn and the track just spins or it seems like the machine doesnt have enough to turn tracks , this will fix that problem and before long you will do it without even knowing ya did

@diamondpressco2673 2 года назад

also when taking weight off the front of tractor it doesnt need to be very high off the ground just enough to help with wieght, I can take a cat 336 and make it do a 360 standing still this way . but being able to put the tracts were you need them is a huge deal

@HomesteadingUncontained 2 года назад

@@diamondpressco2673 as soon as I get back from work I am going to try this. Thanks so much for commenting. Cheers

@onemansjunk01 Год назад

Put the blade to the back and put it down,it'll give you more stability when pushing down as well as using the machines own weight to assist 👌🏼👍🏻🤘🏻

@HomesteadingUncontained Год назад

Yes, I have started to do that, specially if the land is sloping downwards. I am getting the feel for it now. Thanks for the comments.

@ronbewsell5538 Год назад

You need to use 2000kg ratchet straps to tie down the machine, front and back when moving your excavator. It looks heavier than the tractor. Speaking from experience, there is a big chance of both machines being overturned if the excavator moves or slides either side and/or to the rear of the trailer. But I must say I am enjoying your adventure!

@HomesteadingUncontained Год назад

Yes, I strap it in now - I don't normally carry it with the tractor.

@zmonchamp Год назад

Hello, Just a friendly word of advice, for any of those 'high load' joints you want to use a molybdenum loaded grease of 3-5% content. It will give those joints on your tractor and mini-excavator much longer life spans.

@HomesteadingUncontained Год назад

Good tip - I will look out for some as I was wondering i the general grease was adequate and it has been a few years sinceI did my apprenticeship when we covered all of that stuff.

@zmonchamp Год назад

@@HomesteadingUncontained Hey, no worries it's an easy mistake to make. I noticed the grease in the joints that did have grease from the factory was pumping out black, so at least those joints the factory used the right grease on the mini-ex. Any of the places that sell heavier equipment should sell appropriate moly grease. Glad to see you applying the little maintenance saves a lot of repairs mindset! Thanks for replying!

@grazynazambeanie5963 Год назад

Boy, could I ever use that little digger around here . Bears have decided they want an easier path to the fruit trees and knocked down part of the deer fence .

@HomesteadingUncontained Год назад

It is still working great - well worth the investment.

@1966cambo Год назад

Have you thought about loading it the other way round so the blade comes off last and doesn’t dig up the lawn/ground or maybe put the bucket out front to keep it from digging in?

@HomesteadingUncontained Год назад

Can’t as the blade hits the ramp. But I have now mastered the on-loading & off-loading.

Grease will be something you have keep up on. Zerk grease fittings, will make it easy to do.

Many thanks for this demo, very helpful! Could you give us the link to buy the auger rotator itself? I have got a Yanmar SV08 (the smallest from Yanmar, 960 kg). I think this auger is suitable with it, despite the quickfix won’t be the same.

@HomesteadingUncontained Год назад

It is from Nuoman Engineering on Alibaba or you can go direct to the company. Ask for Helen and she will sort you out.

Whatever you do with the shipping container DON'T burry it the dirt will cave in the sides, we have had several people here in the US nearly killed as they slept in the container and it caved in due ground water pressure from excessive rain.

The wind looks like the Shallow dug post hole will just BLOW OVER. I Never cut the post--just keep going deeper & utilize the post properly--it will Last! Just GO for it, & get it done right the first time.

@HomesteadingUncontained 2 года назад

I can get around 75cm before heavy rocks, so will go as deep as I can go. But I only need 1.5 m high posts and these are over 3m as they were being used for river bank reinforcement. Totally agree though!!
