Oh man that sucks. It's a lot of upper body exercises that's for sure.

@ I can’t get the 5gal bucket of soil up and out of the crawl space. So i made a big tripod and attached block and tackle and using my brain + mechanical advantage. This is getting out of hand already.

Yeah, the only time I e wound er out is when I'm just tracking around. I do think it's wearing in with more work and becoming 'manageable' not great but usable

I guess I don't have hard facts and before and after temps, but it can't recycle the air. Once it goes through the fan it's going outside then that has to pull in more air. Because I had the stuff laying there and it took maybe an hour, it's well worth it imo

I'm assuming gas tank, but yeah that's on my list, I'm just not sure about having a small vapor bomb next to me on a bucking bronco that has shotty wiring.

I also bolted, about three hundred pounds of railroad track on the back that helps a lot.

I am probably eventually going to upgrade the size of the gas tank. Because I probably go through 3-5 gallons a day but I'd rather have it on the outside than. On the inside, with all that heat gasoline boils at 200°. And you've proven, it's that hot in there

They usually have a bit of gas so you can drive it onto / off a trailer.

Just check fluids and get it off the trailer and in a spot to swap them out. Mine had enough to be used but both were a touch low.

I didn't want to cut out original audio but it was straight wind noise.

Agree. You are way too cool for that noise. Great American ingenuity and build.

I'm thinking about moving the gas tank too. For heat and filing. How did you mount it? Happy with doing that?

I do not, from what I understand there's not much difference between the different models. My miva kit of attachments all fit fine. Also have you used the hoe with the standard thumb yet? Or how much are you going to need the thumb? If it's just sometimes, I think a fixed one works just fine. But ... Accessories are fun too.

@@backwoodscustoms Thank you , i have not used the machine yet , but ill give it a try before buying the hydraulic thumb..Thanks again

@MarioPenna-w7h they are nice, but when I was at the auction they were going for $150-$180 and I thought that was steep, FB or eBay sells them for $250+ and that's way to much imo. I'd like one, but then your aux hyd are tied up all the time unless you get a 3 way splitter. It does take some getting used to but if you get snap lock pins and get rid of the bolts to move the thumbs pins, it doesn't take much to move it.

Why would you have to replace the wall structure? Is it rotted out or flimsy or something? Also be very careful with what glue you get. The stuff I got didn't stick to the foam.

That's a lot of good info. Thanks for comment.

There's no way I'd run that oil. It had more water like properties than oil. I know break in oil has a higher zinc content but that oil didn't seem like it was going to do any good for the engine.

There were 40+ at the auction, there really wasn't much difference unless you were going from one to the other, with a tape measure. I had a list going and after about 10, there really seemed to be no rhyme nor reason to it. I can get behind the 1.2-1.5 ton numbers but there's still not thY much difference.

@@backwoodscustoms -- There are numerous differences - three different engines available, some have enclosed cabs, different access panels, hand and foot controls located differently, some have hydraulic filter, and/or more than one hydraulic pump, etc. Some of them are also a different "Brand", and of course, advertised retail prices are an indicator of which has "more". I looked at them at three different auctions and on the internet for more than a year before deciding. I just recently bought the MX15R on marketplace for less than the cheapest one at auction (with 0.4 hours) because the guy was going through a divorce.

@Rattlerjake1 divorce sales suck for that guy but get a few people some screaming deals. I just wish the manufacturer made a list and comprehensive description of what means what or what options that machine has.

@@backwoodscustoms - I have yet to find an owner's manual that explains all controls, maintenance, etc.

My grandpa got 2 of those as seen on TV pumps... I was thinking about stealing one. I used it a while ago to empty a gas tank on the frame swap project on my black dodge and was surprised how good it worked.

Depends on hours, use, and maintenance. $3k would be better. But it beats a shovel but also not as good as a name brand. Know you're buying no warranty.

Oh yeah for sure. $5k is plenty cheap enough for what you get. Ive got around 20 hours on it now and if they were paying jobs, id probably had made most of the money back.

Hmmm, no clue if its the same but I mean same theory im sure.

One guy commented here about putting small compression springs under the control base. I was going to grab some the other day and try it, but ive been crazy busy. Another guy said that he turned down the relief valve, but im not sure about doing that, usually when you reduce operating pressures, you do lose a bit of power. If you run two controls at one time like bucket, and swing or w.e its really not that bad. But yes. jerky jerky. The pilot controls are worse. I ran a agt 12 that was the center controls and it was way way smoother to operate.

​@@backwoodscustoms Damn maybe I should've bought ones with center controls. thought pilot would be better, oh well I'm sure I can make something work to modify it better

​@@flo383run the machine at 1/4 throttle max and it's not jerky

coming at me a little harsh here guy.... I said like 10 times, idk what im doing here. I did read the instructions and its no where near what you are trying to tell me. but also your instructions are counter intuitive. One time you say to keep the part wet, buffing for 5 minutes per step. then say that the golf cart kit is enough to do two motorcyles. heres the instructions... Removing or minimizing minor scratches on golf cart body: 1. Put 3" backing pad into drill and attach wool pad. 2. Put 3" backing pad into drill and attach wool pad. Apply quarter size amount of Novus #2 onto blemish 3. Place wool pad firmly over polish and pull trigger moving up and down motion until polish is almost gone. Wipe remaining residue off and inspect blemish area. If still there, re-peat this step again. If it looks good, proceed to next step. 4.Remove wool pad and attach green foam pad 5. Remove wool pad and attach green foam pad. Apply quarter size amount of Novus #2 onto blemish area. 6. Place foam pad firmly over polish and pull trigger moving up and down motion until polish is almost gone. 7. Apply Novus #1 over area and wipe clean. I also said hopefully someone on here go WTF is this guy doing?? your that guy. Ill get new polish bottles and ill film it with your destructions, and since you guarantee it to be showroom ill delete this video and give you all the credit for doing it correctly

Hey I was wrong. I'm not sure what I was looking at, these only have a single pump. For some reason I was looking at it thinking it was piggy backed pumps. IT is a single pump with a splitter for pilot controls and track. I'll delete my previous comment.

There at two pumps. The main pump supplies fluid to all functions including the boom movements. The second pump supplies fluid to the pilot controls levers. The boom control valves are hydraulic actuated hydraulic valves. So the second pump supplies the fluid from the pilot controls to open and close the valves in the main valve block for boom and slew movements. So that is the reason that the boom doesn't do anything when the pilot controls are moved without the engine running.

@ngnmech yeah, that's what I was looking at when dude asked if it was dual or single pumps, then got to thinking, usually when someone is talking dual pumps, they mean 2 high pressure, separate system pumps. So I back pedaled and said single pump. But then I got to thinking it technically is 2 pump out let's, but one is low pressure, then I didn't know if low pressure pilot side was it's own pump or just a bleed valve in the pump . Then I felt like I didn't know what I was talking about and was hoping someone who could explain it correctly would comment on it and straighten all of us out. So thank you for being the guy that can explain things better then me.

just an amazon special. It was $20. worked just fine. All i did was search bike name and clutch.

i did switch them out front to back so i can use the dipstick easier.

I wish i would have started on the outside, but this thing has been through the ringer so i assumed that it was something inside like ive seen a lot of other people talk about, It was well past the warranty stage so i figured i wasn't really out anything and just dove into it. I was half way through another project that i needed it for so i was rather rushed and trying to just get it working. Yes long story short, a guy should just check the connections between the battery and drill.

They are sure not a big hoe that's for sure, but if you've seen a couple of my other videos, you'll see I'm no stranger to a shovel, and I hope this is going to work.

Just to add; I dont haul big loads nor do anything crazy with the machine. Just plowing snow and haul some logs on a log trailer. But I see more and more people having problems with Can Am Machines 😄

I was pretty die hard Yamaha, but Polaris seems to have it figured out. Between this ATV and my RZR, they have been though some stuff and nothing major or that wasn't completely self inflicted. Our wind rock off road park trips should be Polaris testing r&d department. They just keep taking it.

Solid work around.... Didn't think about that. But I have a new key, distribution block, relays, to put in this weekend hopefully. Making it like a normal 12v ignition.

@@backwoodscustoms Im sure your solution is better, it was just a idea to do a easy "fix". Im kind of lazy so just extending the positive cable from the fan and connecting it to the main switch is what i would have done. Then you would hear the fan running and remember to shut the main switch off.

@soulis1000 yeah I leave the fan switch on. This thing builds heat so fast . That's a solid work around. The one time I left it on it racked up 26 hrs, when it had less then 20 minutes on it.

It's just over the top of the sight glass, there's a baffle in the tank about 2" down from the fill hole, it's not over that. I ran it for 5hours straight the other day in hard digging and no oil expansion issues. Is it oe recommended? No. But every little bit of extra oil is more to move heat. Also if it wanted less it would just puke it out and let you know how much it wants.

I was thinking about one large spring like a ATV/snowmobile clutch spring to go under the whole control lever, but I ran it for 11 hours in 2 days and my shoulders were already feeling it. It could have been more of ridding the bull movements but either way. As for what you did, I don't see how that would cause any issues. Might have to try that way.

How stiff a spring are you using. The ones that I am finding in the size you recommended seem very stiff, so are you using the really stiff springs that are cut in half, or are they a lighter spring.

I tried a few things that's common on them. No issues since I did this. Try a few different batteries and see if one make it work, then start with the final fix I had.

I really love dad jokes. By far my favorite humor.

Solid thinking, but if get low pro straight nipples they should be near flush with the outside of the ram. If not I'll make a collar to weld on to protect it.

So more money and work and time when ya can just leave the ones that are there that work fine ...but to each his own...was just telling my experience...have a great day

@truthfirst4249 only need one real grease gun though. The little need point one that came with a soup sandwich, and I don't want to get a different tip for my good ones because this is the only thing I have that has those cone tips

@backwoodscustoms makes sense..i have a quick change fitting on my grease gun so take 3 seconds to go from standard stylin style and my grease gun came with all the zerk sttle connectors...was like 20 bucks on Amazon..

@truthfirst4249 well now I'm interested, I'll take a look at that. Thanks.

That’s what I did but not sold on it 100% because dust going in the radiator! Any thoughts!?!?

Sometimes you have to flip the fan blade too, radiator fans want to spin a certain direction usually. I wouldn't be worried about the dust. My concern would be blowing hot air into the engine. I have a fan to put on the left side, hopefully making it have good cross flow in there.

@@roberto3330 so far I'd just keep an eye on the motor coming lose from the mounting bracket. But they have pretty rough gears so there's a lot of play. Not ideal but it is what it is in .y opinion.

Glad I could help.

Yeah get that oil out of there. Whatever is in there is not up to normal oil standards. It's fun to mess with. I've got around 7 hours on it so far and nothing major.

@@backwoodscustoms Did you change the oil in the drive units yet? I assume those have a crappy oil from the factory as well.

@@schultp I didnt change out anything on the wheel motors? i didnt look to far into it. Am i missing something? the other hyd units ive messed with are just one fluid, no seperate systems.
