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 ..

On some of the mini diggers like that there is a lever to make the tracks wider to make it more stable when you are digger we have them in the UK you can move the tracks in and out when in you can fit threw a door way.

@rotormasher 2 года назад

Just a tip, keep the blade down on the ground to help with stability as you dig... Also this machines are great but very easy to tip over, always very careful with a low load/boom specially on uneven ground! Great tools that save the back tremendously, I have a bobcat and I love it :)

@chapleaudick 2 года назад

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.

It might be cheaper to invest in welding gear and fabricate them yourself. Andrew Camarata makes buckets all the time and I've seen several auger builds. A breaker would be a challenge from scratch but you could adapt a hand-operated jackhammer.

I see everybody's already suggested the quick release. I would also go further to say use zip ties put one on one side and two on the other so that way you can always hook it up the same way. It's not a huge thing but once you get into muscle memory it's nice

@Trecraven1 2 года назад

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.

@HomesteadingUncontained 2 года назад

@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.

@LuciferTJ 2 года назад

I wanted to share with you regarding O-Rings (you referred to them as "seals". I'm sure just a culture thing ;-) ) There is a snap-on kit (not entirely necessary but used the brand name as an example) for making o-rings. It comes with a few different diameter and different material lengths and a flush-cutting razorblade tool. You measure the circumference of the o-ring you need and the diameter of the actual rubber 'cylinder', and then super-glue the two flat-cut ends together. I'm to understand this works VERY well for o-rings, especially captured ones, like in your hydraulic system. There's no where for the rubber to go and the super glue just holds the two ends together in a round shape. Works great, especially at a homestead when the parts store is more than just a quick drive away!

@HomesteadingUncontained 2 года назад

I will look out for this kit - I am always needing o rings as I have other kit and some very old kit thatI can't find anything for.

Cheers for commenting. I have greased it well since. I also use a silicone grease on o rings . Will be using the auger a lot very soon.

@gordonclark7632 2 года назад

Interesting. The only two things I have picked up on is that the scraper doesn't seem to have much raising height. On a slope the blade digs into the ground and the other being that the lever seems to get in the way of your right leg.

@HomesteadingUncontained 2 года назад

I have noticed this - I will check it out to see if I can modify it a little.

@CNCmachiningisfun 2 года назад

Nice video :) . Bought one of these yesterday, being delivered to the farm tomorrow. While inspecting it on the dealer's premises, I forgot to ask if the auger turns in both directions. Your video answered that question nicely :) .

@HomesteadingUncontained 2 года назад

Hope it arrived safely - I am going to try fitting the auger the other way around so I can lift it better - it is trial and error with me at the moment - have fun with your new digger.

@CNCmachiningisfun 2 года назад

@@HomesteadingUncontained Thanks kindly. Yup, it arrived safely, and my first task was to lift a hefty metalworking lathe off my truck. Needless to say, the little guy wanted to tip over, but he got the job done :) . Looking forward to seeing if your experiments with the auger have paid off. Finding a manual is not an easy process, but I was sent a PDF by the folks I bought this machine from. Maybe there is a way I can send a copy to you?

@CNCmachiningisfun 2 года назад

@@michaelarabi5083 Imported to New Zealand, and sold by a local farming group, this little guy, along with all the fittings, cost me a mere $19,500. It is the smallest little digger I have ever seen :) .

@XuesongWang-s5x 2 года назад

@@CNCmachiningisfun actually, 19500 is not bad at all. it is about 9000 dollors (can be cheaper) for the same one here in China.

@nickybritain3661 2 года назад

Those hydraulic pipes, to and from the Auger, need to be secured well away from any moving parts. So easy to slice through them if you are not watching.

@HomesteadingUncontained 2 года назад

Yes I have secured them now - that first hole was a test only. I also had the Auger the wrong way round. 🤣

@TF856 2 года назад

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.

@HomesteadingUncontained 2 года назад

I do have drop downs - I have mastered it now and put it on and off the trailer with no problem.

@retrorewindllc9363 2 года назад

When your loading & unloading u can push the arm down to raise your needed side so not scraping or diggin into into stuff w the blade if it won't go high enough ... Almost like a crab crawl w the arm ..

@HomesteadingUncontained 2 года назад

Thanks for commenting - I am getting a little better now, using the bucket to raise me up onto the trailer.

@mikedunn7795 2 года назад

I have been following your project,very interesting! As to the owner's manual written in Chinese,you could scan it,and use the OCR feature included with many free PDF viewers to convert the document to a readable form that could be translated to English by translation freeware available online.

@HomesteadingUncontained 2 года назад

Cheers Mike - the company I bought it from emailed me over an English version (translated of course but at lest it is a start)

Try slowing the engine speed down a little....it will let you work a little slower but should make your movements on the controls smoother.....🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🙂

@HomesteadingUncontained 2 года назад

Now I thought the opposite that it would get more fluid around and stop it being jumpy - but I will try this for sure - cheers, Ian
