You're Exavator Looks Cute
I’m looking at getting a mini excavator, needed to make sure that the front stabilizer blade can be used for to grade. Thx for helpful vid 🙏🏻 Any tips from anyone using this to level and grade?
Awesome job on trailer 💪🏼
Here's a tip for anyone running such a tiny machine. That blade in the front actually should be positioned to the rear. Anchor it to the ground and you've moved the pivot point of the machine farther back resulting in the ability to apply additional downforce to your bucket before the tracks lift off the ground...
Worst Grading video on the internet since 2003.
How does it mount to the bucket hinge pin ? And what size cylinder did u use ?
I used a longer 30mm hinge pin. And the hydraulic cylinder was a 2” bore with a 14” stroke.🤙🏽
Hi, is it possible to say how thick the steel is on your thumb? I also have a Yanmar Vio17 and want to build one myself.
I used 7/16 thick flat plate.🤙🏽
@@hlc8085 Thanks! Can you also say what kind of steel you used for the replacement pin? Is it 4140? You bought a bar and then turned it down on a lathe? I think the pins are 30mm, right?
I picked up a 2’ piece of hardened 30mm round stock at my local steel yard. I didn’t need to turn it down, but I did use zirconium sandpaper on the lathe to smooth it out. I also picked up some 30mm steel collars from Amazon.
Great, looks really professionally built!
Hi, How hard was it to adjust the relief valve on your vio 15? Thanks! I have a Vio 17, and it looks hard to get to the adjustment , and I'm not sure which one is it
Fortunately I didn’t have to do any adjustments. The machine came from the factory with a thumb on it. The yanmar dealership took the thumb off and sold it separately. Sorry I wasn’t much help.🤙🏽
@@hlc8085 oh, that’s nice ! Great
Why so deep?
That’s where the sewer connections were. The drain pipes was pre installed by the plumbing contractor.🤙🏽
@@hlc8085 yes I can see that but most plumbers I ever dug for would lay their pipe with minimal fall and depth all the way to the connection
@@hlc8085 and I always started at the house and dug towards the sewer connection…..300mm soil cover to the top of the laid pipe was regulation standard….
Travel alarms...disable.
Great job, perfectly designed, just what I want on my machine.
Where did you get the round stock for the pivot pin? The proportions of that thumb look perfect for the size of your machine. Good Job! I will build one for my Takeuchi TB016 which looks similar.
I found it locally at a metal shop. It was a 30mm hardened round stock. And the metal collar’s I found on Amazon, 30mm also.🤙🏽
@@hlc8085 Thanks, I'll call around locally. Subscribed.
Trailer looks good, nicely done.
Mini excavator homemade hydraulic thumb build
This is more like how to build a trailer to carry on excavater!!!!
Sorry bro. Wanted to watching some grading, not the trailer. But it is a nice trailer dont get me wrong, its just not what i came to watch this video about. Should of made a separate video. Than you would get views on this one and tell people u made a separate video for the trailer and than get views and what not for that. 🤷🏽♂️ just saying. Prob why u got the dislikes, for this reason.
Same. Came for an excavator video, watched a trailer video. 🙄
How muchbdoes this weigh
The machine weighs 3,800lbs
I will copy this when I make my #3 thumb. 1st was a fail, second is working OK but this looks much better and is probably stronger.
Love the thumb on that machine!
🤙🏽
You didnt talk enough about that trailer mate way too much attention to the digger
POR fails under ultraviolet rays, you wasted your time and money
Excellent well done on the home made thumb fantastic.
What did you charge for this?
It was my own green waste. If I did a job that size, my guess would be $500- $700. 🤙🏽
Ya nice but how did you go about building it? It's one thing to ah (cough) show us... It's another to actually go and explain how you figured it out. That would be useful to us DYI guys.
Sorry, I don’t have any footage of building it because it wasn’t meant to go on TH-cam. After it was completed, my cousin said I should make a video of what I have.
Cherry set up perfect for quick jobs. Good work with the trailer build. Any problems when you had to register and safety check the trailer?
No problem doing the safety and registration.🤙🏽
Wow. Makes me want to trade in my tractor for one of these. Good job on the grading.
Why paint it? 1 day or less and the paint is off digging in shale
I know! Just call me crazy. I like make it look pretty.🤦♂️
@@hlc8085 lol cant blame you. Itd be nice if it stayed on!
I like Yanmar excavators but not the colors.
Texas Pride, that’s a nice trailer. I have a US Built which is made by Texas Pride Trailers, 14’ X 14K X 7’ goose neck w/telescoping cylinder in the front. Do you haul your Yanmar 35 in the dump trailer, if so how does it fit?
I have not put the yanmar 35 in the dump trailer yet. I made a 7’x18’ 14k flat trailer for the yanmar 35 excavator. I’m pretty sure the dump trailer would work great, it’s 16’ long. But I did recently put my yanmar v4 loader in the dump trailer and it worked out great.🤙🏽
HMMMM OK that will work ok i guess....BUT...i would put something at the end of the thump , due it may be abit weak but weld a peice in between them well defitnly be stronger . also it would be nice if you had shownin us the full veiw on how you hook the hydruic n thump etc
Thank you for the advice. I’ve been contemplating about that for some time now. I may just add a piece at the end of the thumb. This was my first TH-cam video. When I was building the thumb I didn’t think about making a video to put on TH-cam. Not until I was finished when a cousin of mine suggested that I should put it online. That’s why I don’t have the complete build. Sorry.
Please rename the vid to focus on trailer
How big of a bucket can you put on it !
I have only a 12” bucket right now. I think it could handle a 16” bucket with no problem.
what size is the yanmar excavator and dump trailer
The excavator is a 35-5. It’s about 8,200lbs. The dump trailer is a 7x16x2 with 24” of additional height.
What size is the excavator
It’s a 15-2 by yanmar. 1.5 ton machine.🤙🏽
???
What size is the machine .
It’s a vio 15-2 from yanmar. It weighs 3,800lbs. It has adjustable tracks. It’s about 3’1” with the tracks in and 4’ with it extended all the way out. 🤙🏽
@@hlc8085 how much?
I bought the machine new for $26,000.
@@hlc8085 thanks. I think I will be buying the XN20 2Ton with telescoping tracks and boom swing. Also got Yanmar engine. Cost 14500$ new.
How did you go about hooking up the hydraulic lines for it?
The machine came plumbed from the factory. I only needed to connect to the hydraulic cylinder.
Very nice build, good job. It wouldn't be legal in my state though. There is no battery backup for power to an emergency break away system. There should be a small break away box with a cable to the tow vehicle. If the trailer for some reason separates from the vehicle, the break_away cable is pulled, causing the trailer brakes to engage so that the trailer just doesn't keep rolling. It stops by using the back up battery power to engage the brakes. Other than that, it looks like you did a fantastic job. I like that you crossed your chains. You would be surprised by how many people don't do this. If the trailer pops off the ball, the chains should catch the tongue of the trailer.
Nice job. How think a steel plate did you use ? So if you curl the bucket does it just push the thumb back in? Assume just blows the relief valve on the AUX line.
Thank you... I used a 7/16 thick steel plate. That’s what I had just laying around in my steel pile. It has a relief value, so when I push the thumb with the bucket it dose go back in.
I have a 35-6. Used to have a 2006 15-2 miss that machine for the tight jobs
I have a 35-5 as well. Love both machines, but I would like to sell the 35-5 and buy a bigger one like a new yanmar 55. 🤙🏽
Nice sturdy trailer👍
Thanks you! 🤙🏽
Hi nice build! I am building a thumb for my chinese mini excavator. Did you adjust the hydraulic pressure for thumb? Cheers Alex
Thank you!! When I first hooked everything up, I went to my local yanmar dealer to ask that same question. He told me because it came from the factory already plumbed I didn’t need to adjust anything. Good luck on your build!
I have a question I have no experience with these kind machine but I wane put a thump on my vio 17 I don’t know how to find the fittings o couplers maybe you can tell how
My vio15 came all plumbed from the factory. The cylinder mount was already welded to the machine. I just needed to find the right length hydraulic cylinder to use. Once you have the cylinder, then you can take it to your hydraulic store to find the right fittings for it. If your machine is already plumbed for it, you need to take the hydraulic plugs/stopper with the cylinder so they can determine the fitting size from the machine. Hope this helps!👍 Good Luck!
HLC 808 thanks for answering I already have all the parts including the cylinder but now I don't know which hose with the connectors I am needing
Try and mount the cylinder to the machine so you can determine the length of your hoses. Then take the cylinder and the plugs to your local hydraulic store. From there they can find the right fittings for you. 🤙🏽
I have a kobelco which is very similar. When attaching hydraulic hoses did you have to alter anything or was it plug & play?
My yanmar was just plug and play. 👍
Thanks, nice job.
Nice tidy job. You better be proud of yourself.
Thank you!
I have same machine love it.
👍👍👍👍👍
I have vs08, did you have any issue's with tripping or overloading the excavator?
I do tend to tip a little when swinging over the sides of the excavator. Just need to be careful when doing so. And know the limits of the machine.👍
@@hlc8085 thanks for the reply
You are a good operator, are you running sewer and water to a mobile home?
Yes, for two houses.👍
How long was the hydraulic cylinder you used
It was 22” retracted and 36” extended. The cylinder has a 1.5” bore with a 14” stroke and a 1” rod.
