It may be half price and I’m glad it works well for you! But you can’t beat a tracked excavator for versatility. While these Chinese knock offs may not be the greatest pieces of equipment they are still pretty handy!

She’s tired. Had a hard life before I got it. I hardly use it anymore it just sits in the shed now. But it sounds worse than it is.

Hey I’d be glad to test it out

Enough stocks in our Chicago warehouse and welcome to visit our warehouse and test our new models excavator

Nah I sold The machine over a year ago. Honestly it was built to the price point. If you expect a $25,000 machine you will be disappointed. But if you expect a brand new $5-7,000 machine you’ll be happy. It’s cheaply built. The steel Quality is cheap and the controls are a little jerky. But it’s better than a shovel and a rake and if you are mechanically inclined enough to keep an eye on things and repair/maintain it as you use it it’ll work well. It’s not something I would take out on a job site to make a living. But if i needed something around my property and had no other equipment it would be a good Choice

@@AbramsExcavating Fair and expected. Thinking a 1 or 2 ton machine would be helpful in my business. Sounds like a E10, KX008, or even E20 series would be a better idea used for longevity - which I expected, just curious. Thanks!

Send me an email with what you’ve got to offer abramsexcavating@outlook.com Thank you

Hey I used ones for a Kenworth t300 Wanted to use something pretty common Here’s a link TORQUE Air Spring Bag for... www.amazon.com/dp/B085CNB67K?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

@@AbramsExcavating thank you

Thanks for watching! Oh yea I mean I bought this back when they first showed up and my intention was to buy it make a review and re sell. I bought it for 4500 and sold it for 9000 well over a year ago. But I’d never spend that much on one of these to actually use. You can have a nice kubota or Takeuchi for 12k here and it’s 100x the machine

@@AbramsExcavating You are a smart businessman, I admire you Can I cooperate with you? I am a manufacturer.

@@AbramsExcavating I sent you an email, did you see it? I still look forward to communicating with you and cooperating with you I like your video very much

That’s true. There isn’t anywhere to tie down. I think I put the blade behind the machine and then tied down over the boom where it meets the house.

Hahah that was not the plan!

I’ll either cut a notch in the bottom And lap the corners or there’s a company here that makes L shape corners. I think this one I cut notches in the bottom

I’ll have to get one. I recently re did this truck and she sounds even better now! Really cracks for just a little kitty

@@AbramsExcavating that sounds awesome

Nailed it right there. Theres so many guys that bash a lot of Japanese and Chinese equipment but clearly they haven’t checked out the import sticker that’s on a large portion of all new cat machines… My advice is buy what you like to run and stick with it. They are all junk in one way or another!

Just remember this video is over a year old. I bought this machine for 5500 at auction and sold It for $9500. Now you can buy them for like $4500 at auction

A lot hahah! The ole 080 did not like moving it. I’d guess like 5-7,000lbs. It was a two piece tank however I didn’t want to separate it cause I doubt it would ever re seal properly. The septic company that pumped the tank for me was basically speechless when they saw I moved it with such a little machine.

Hey! Thanks for stopping by, so that directional valve is nothing special. It’s just a one way flow valve. I order my hydraulic parts from supply house.com but you should be able to get one of these valves off amazon. a.co/d/7VWiGQI

Thanks for helping me.@@AbramsExcavating

It’s great when they work right hahaha

I own 2. They're freaking amazing machines

Great machine. I’ve got like 4200 hours on it now with next to zero issues.

Yea I know but I didn’t know at the time these engines have a pickup tube in the tank and they need to be “primed” Usually use carb cleaner on gas motors but didn’t have any

Right?! Never know what you find tucked behind old buildings

Sure is, I went through it last spring and fixed it all up

Thanks for watching! I’ve been wicked busy so I apologise for the lack of videos!

Yea it was definitely a cool thing to get a chance to own! Never thought I’d ever buy something like that hahah.

Thanks! I ended up making a decent profit by cleaning it up and reselling it. Definitely a cool machine, but I really had No practical use for it though

Sure can they are much better than the older models!

It’s been a little while since I worked on one. But I want to say the rod goes towards the engine for limp mode.

@@AbramsExcavating thanks for the reply i went to look at one to buy and thats where it was at it still seems like it was getting to much fluid wanting to stall and die

Thanks!

Most parts are just common lawnmower engine and hardware. Anything major you are gonna have to either weld and machine yourself or I guess you could try the manufacturer but I’d have to guess you are on your own for the most part.

@@AbramsExcavating ok. Thanks

Yes you can change the labels on the remote. They sent a huge sheet of different labels. The way I’ve got it set right now flows pretty well. The only thing I mess up once in awhile is the direction of the table. Thanks for the tip! I usually try to inch it back a touch. But at the same time I’m trying to get as long as possible pieces cut since I’m feeding an out door wood boiler. If I was splitting for an indoor stove I would make some sort of guide to keep pieces consistent and that would give me the kerf gap to make the pieces drop out easier. Thanks for watching!

you realize this video is over a year old? back before everyone and their brother had one haha.

Thanks! as for the hydraulic oil yes you generally just add oil til it shows on the sight glass.

@AbramsExcavating I figured but instructions are lame...

Blade out front is the best way for stabilizing.

Thank you! I wouldn’t say I’m ambidextrous on the controls but over the years I’ve been in enough Situations where I have to run controls I’m not used to! Glad the video was helpful to you! I had fun making it!

@@AbramsExcavating Sure was helpful. I am bidding on a new one right now. We will see how it goes..

I don’t know, but you can switch the hydraulic hoses rather easily to make it run in Deere controls. It’s just a matter of switching 4 hose
