Firefighters Contain Little Mountain Fire To 34 Acres

At least the sticker told so, it's not a switch even, Throttle Switched is betterly put. That was some worker on his Monday or Friday graveyard shift that ran out of cables and totally botched it. The cable adjuster dowel set screw diameter was too big for the lever...

Tore into the controls manifold. Reason be, to hose wrap hideous chafe prevention Very consolidated and simple compared to the JD skid.

Boots, a walk behind skid steer aka track loader might be it's name. Sheesh at new prices. Have you rented one yet? Try smallest one available across many suppliers.

I won't monopolize, promise. It's just so interesting and thrown in my lap.
bullet doo·hick·ey on Sunday 19 January 2025 - 13:24:49
Haha, yeah me too Boots real wary of a tip. 15° sticks in my head. 38" wide and lower 3rd is the bulk of it.

There's barely manuals on these Chinese mini excavators, like a few only all seem to reference.. Engines you just go to the manufacturer. I joined FB and Reddit groups. A harbor freight bolt on hitch receiver for counter weights I might doo. It really should have foot and pilot (handles each side) controls. SAE or ISO controls, think Bobcat or John Deere.

It's still on the trailer, mine has the upgraded 15 hp Rato (widely used brand) engine, arm and boom is older style.

Cracks me up the choke and throttle cables are flat out backwards, 4 tenths on the hour clock. It idles only, hahaha
Scotty, I Need More Power! -Kirk

Point is, for new, $20K for a name brand or $6-8K. Free tho is a gift given. The YouTubers have plenty of head to head competitions. The 'fix it right or lose it' mentally and fab work is right up my alley.

Doo - is the wheelbase on that mini-excavator REALLY that narrow? It looks tall and skinny which strikes me as NOT a bonus in your driveway!! But hey, a video of it going a$$ over teakettle might be more entertaining than the famous Maple Hill slide! Be careful in that cute lil' thing!
bullet doo·hick·ey on Saturday 18 January 2025 - 20:33:52
My last sry:
US designers making Company's out of upgrading them and rebranding.
This '24 model has features taken from the mod community craze, like my hinged/latch system engine access.
Briggs and Stratton 13.5hp is solid.

On paper, my JDeere Skid can bucket lift it (due to the skid's optional counter weights, 2K lbs) I'll do that mod but not the wheelie bars. Hah

I wasn't in the market for this, interesting stuff to say the least. Mile High has a name brand one, it's a useful nitch...

16" bucket.
To Doo list:
Hydraulic cylinder for the manual grabber
A breaker (jackhammer) for it's auxiliary
Fan mod

Chickety China made but have been lasting years. Wide community. Who'd a thunk?
