    I'm taking delivery of a Chinese Mini Excavator tomorrow and as I have zero experience of working such equipment my recent CZcams watching has been lots and lots of excavator videos. This one is my favourite - absolutely stunning viewing! Liked and Subscribed.😀

    this is better than 99.99% of the shows on TV. I have some projects to do at home, and I'm now inspired to rent a mini excavator and get 'er done.

      @@englishwithqamar8327 You can get a decent second hand mini digger for about £ 5,000 if you know what you are looking for. Take a mechanic with you.

      Grant Fell its nothing out of the ordinary mate. he is a decent operator though. digging on small jobs requires a bit of forward thinking otherwise you can leave yourself with problems (like getting your digger back out lol) he seemed to do ok though.

    Ha a construction Yorkie! I thought I had the only one. My greatly assists in the operation of the loader, and the excavator. And by greatly assists, I mean lays on my arm, making me work twice as hard with one arm. ;-) That was pretty amazing tight work you had there, I've got a k008-3 and I couldn't have done that job. The U series zero turn is really very handy.
