How to buy Cheap Chinese Excavator from eBay and review, Good investment?
My bid won! I spent weeks looking for an excavator for home use. Purchasing off Alibaba seemed cheap at $2000, but after shipping and taxes I was quoted over $6,600. So I decided to look elsewhere and found other companies were selling theirs on eBay for $4,899 with free shipping. After contacting these companies, I found that I would need a fork lift to get it off the truck once it arrived which I didn't have which was a big problem. I then searched eBay for local excavators and found this one. I was lucky, it was located at Bidadoo Inc about 30 minutes from my house. I watched the auction closely and placed my max bid 15 minutes before the auction ended. I jumped with joy when I won the bid at $4,300.
I have a lot of landscaping that needs to be done. The dirt here is filled full of river rock which is gruesomely tiring to dig by hand. I took a wild chance and purchased a brand new AGT Mini Excavator from eBay.
After researching these excavators and looking on Alibaba.com and getting an estimate for shipping, I decided to bid on one selling on eBay. The one I purchased was not my first choice, I thought perhaps I could get an H13R for even cheaper since it was damaged in shipping. However, that one sold for even more than what the one I bought did. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with my purchase. Here is a glimpse of my adventure with a new Mini Excavator and dealing with bee's so happy I got an enclosed cab.

    Have the same issue. I used oil dye and a blue light. Had to keep the motor running but eventually saw it was my oil pan gasket. That was over a year ago and it has done wounders for rust prevention.

    If you are lifting put blade to front. Digging down put blade to rear. So when you put force it lifts the 2000 on bucket and digs easier. As far as controls it's what you get use to. I like backhoe controlls because what I lurned. Your hour meter not plugged in. Need to buy one that raps around spark plug. Cost about 10.00. Change oil soon I do have videos on mods if it help. All these machines are about the same

    DEALER RIPOFF!!! I just did this job on my 2012 Tahoe 4x4. It took literally 5 minutes to change when I was doing an oil change. The part was $6 (Felpro). You get great access to this when the oil filter is out, no need to remove driveshaft. Use a box wrench with a ratcheting flex head (cheap at a place like Harbor Freight). On another note, be very careful when using stop leak in your engine. That stuff has terrible friction properties and may actually cause damage if left in too long. Although I am not super experienced on this topic, I believe the best approach is to not use it if possible (fix the actual leak), or change the oil a short time later to avoid possible damages. Besides this leak that the Tahoe had, the rest of the vehicle underside is completely dry. My older silverado on the other hand, needs some work! BTW, thanks for your service brother!
