    Thank you for posting the arrival of your unit, I was pleasantly surprised and happy to see your post today. I am also in the market for a mini skid steer, and I was considering looking into purchasing one from China. Seeing your post has been very helpful, and I am looking forward to seeing all of the attachments in use. I like the price difference, some of the US made units are quite expensive. I live on an acre, and I just retired. I am not in the Construction or Landscaping business. I have a lot of projects around my property that I would like to tackle. Because of this, I can't justify spending upwards of $50,000.00 dollars on a piece of equipment that I may only use a few times a year. I'm looking forward to your future posts, and I will be making my final decision, after I see all of your attachments in action. Your responses to the attachments you bought, will in essence be the determining factor for what I do moving forward. Thank you for taking the time to document and share your experience, I hope everything works, meets your standards, and you are ultimately happy with your purchase.

      Thanks for the comments. I live on two acres and have a two acre vacation property. I have a mini excavator but have really wanted a skid steer. I don’t do anything professional with construction or landscaping either. I just have lots of crazy projects! lol. Buying a $50k machine isn’t even an option, but this one was!

      ​@@OurLifeInTrees Were you able to get the unit and attachments off of the trailers by yourself? My girlfriend thinks that I will need to go to Home Depot for some additional help? LOL I live in Northern California. I reached out to Derette, they can ship to the Bay Area. I will be picking up my unit and attachments from the port of Oakland in Oakland Ca. My home is about 50 miles away from there. I have a 2023 Toyota Tacoma, SR5 4x4 with a towing capacity of 6800 pounds. My plan is to rent a trailer and tow the unit crate home first, remove it from the crate and the trailer, and then return to the port for the second crate with the attachments. My concern is getting the unit off of the trailer first, so I then can go back and pick up the attachments. I saw that you hurt your foot, trying to remove the unit from the crate and off of the trailer. How difficult was that? To prevent hurting your foot, what would you have done differently? I also have never operated a Mini Skid Steer, but I did see one being used, by the Solar company that is installing my solar panels. That was the first and only time that I have seen one in action. Needless to say, I was impressed at what I saw. I want one.........Patiently waiting for more videos of the attachments in action. Thanks again for posting your experience.

      It wasn’t hard to get it out of the create and off the trailer. Lesson learned, don’t buy your feet up in the front of the platform so if it hits and folds, no toes are in the way. lol. Did you already order one? Dean from Derette is awesome.

    That is awesome! If you turned the rear grill over, would the exhaust line up better?

      I made a video showing me flipping the exhaust cover around. I really thought that would “solve” it. th-cam.com/users/clipUgkx-Q9__1dRVLz6dZ5ZdDwW7tIya1b6A5hv?si=tVkQcfvYvCWU0qrh

    Harbor Freight offers an oil pump to suck the oil out instead of removing the plug. Works great.

    I just had a new Groundhog ZH12G delivered a few days ago from the Texas dealer and the fuel switch was left on for 1700 plus miles and 3 days on the road. It sounded like a dead battery when the driver went to crank it but after a few more cranks gas which I thought was water sprayed out of the tail pipe and then it started and ran fine to unload it. I did not know about that type of engine hydro locking. I am glad you showed this in your video. I was worried that there was another issue with the machine as I am dealing with broken off console mount bolts, seat lid bolts missing, and a track lever knob gone, and a crooked and loose battery and light and swing boom switches popped out all from an apparent rough three-day ride on the road.

      @OurLifeInTrees 6 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Wow. That’s not cool. Did the truck driver go off roading?! lol. Is Groundhog sending you the parts to fix the machine? From my experience, the factory seat mount bolts suck anyway and I replaced mine. The console mount bolts started to rust on mine, so I changed them out with some zinc coated ones. Once you get it all fixed, They are a lot of fun.

    The exhaust hole is not lined up cause the exhaust grill seems to be upside down.

    • @OurLifeInTrees
      @OurLifeInTrees 6 วันที่ผ่านมา

      That’s what I thought, then I learned that it’s not supposed to be an exhaust hole, but a hole to reach through and pull the spark plug.
