@@TheOutFitPropertyMaint. It is a total game changer for the machine!!!

@dino34mc I think i heard that is what the newer ones are like. I do not know the reasoning there.... also the tensioning bolt is longer. I wish I knew the pros and cons. Do you have much slippage with no spring? To me it adds flex for safety far as damage but idk.

Good call, I'll do a video next time I'm by the auction on what some other mini's have for attachment styles. I have only seen the toro style.

No additional fans. I stop and start a lot, I'm probably getting excited by getting another battery. I started and stopped it 5 times yesterday np. I guess I don't want something as simple as a battery slowing me down. Probably not needed. I use the machine daily.

If you want to email me and talk about it. I'd be willing to purchase one for you and figure out details. I don't really need to make any money. Maybe $50 for my time. I've contemplated buying in bulk to have a site so people can get them cheap. menkejeremy@yahoo.com if you want me to touch base.

@sunbear1973 Thanks!!! We will do our best to try stay on top of the good and the prevention maintenance!

Thanks! This was 90 hours ago! I think I am a tad more skilled now..... Still learning though.

@@bassthis 48 inch 4-1 bucket. I'll get a video out on it shortly.

@@tomd864 These you can just keep rebidding until no one bids anymore

@@TheJBros520 that's how I wish ours was. Auction each one individually.

@@tomd864 For sure!

heck yeah $700 is a dang good price imo.

@rielyheimark3674 I haven't been able to find exact part. Only stuff that might be close....

Good call!!

I'll try do that Sunday, when I clean my machine. Should be able to point out the possible spots at least on my machine.

@@TheJBros520 do you have an email address or a way I’d be able to contact you outside of TH-cam comments? I have a few ideas I was going to pass by to you but it’s hard just pounding the comments in here haha?

@KipIddy Thanks Kip inspired video!!

@DirbyHunter62 Let me know how it goes!!! I have been leaning that way. I just haven't had time to get it to my fabricator to get something made.

I'm planning on doing the same thing, 200-500 lbs of additional weight on the back end to get maximum performance out of the machine. Just need to find the cash for the weights lol

@kylequinn1963 I think it would probably help take pressure off the front idler springs as well. Least because I am always lifting way to much.....

Where do you plan on attaching the weights?

@tigertoilet2 Very easy. Cuts very similar to carpet. So cut it on the back side with a curved or straight blade.

@tigertoilet2 patching is shockingly sneaky good can hardly tell some spots I've done.

They are enjoying it, Hoping to get my attachments Thursday so i can fine tune the pieces to get better seems. Pretty sure that 4-1 bucket should grab on to them to slide pretty good. We will see. And ty for the dad comment, I try.

Well I ended up draining the tank as long as I could via the drain plug underneath. I added 7.5 gallons back in and it seemed a tad high just by looking at it so I drained half a gallon out to bring it to an even 7 gallons. I can’t seem to read that hydraulic oil dip stick for the life of me so I was just kinda eyeballing the level on that larger canister filter.

I apologize I was gone to see this, I'll get the info.

It says 8.72 gallons, I go off the dipstick. but the fluid is so clear it's tough to see. I'm sure your close....

@@danroberts6522 Thanks for the info!! Good idea!

@@bassthis check my starter overview video should be up soon.

Makes sense...

In this video I had 83.5 hours. Cheers

He had ran it out of gas. upon that he flooded it. Drained fuel lines, changed fluids and put new plugs in it. Started right up. I'd give that a try, if that sounds like your situation far as it not firing.

@@TheJBros520 I wish you had a video of that... lol. Do you know if this engine has a fuel switch? Thanks again.

Lol. That was interesting....

Was nice to get that inside camera view was really helpful. made it look simple

That's the way I view it, knowledge for later.

Us too! Learned a bit on the way.

Yup, I bet between the fan running a lot and the stopping and restarting machine. Didn't realize how much I was probably draining the battery.

Lol, it came working! I tried to trouble shoot it to he how it works but I'm lost on it.

@whatchath385 Four sure!!! Good quality steel and paint is legit. Isn't just sitting there peeling off.

@@TheJBros520 Pretty impressive for the price point!

@@whatchath385 👍

@@whatchath385 Feel bad with the video drama. Want to keep people up to date on things, not quite like that....

@@TheJBros520 I appreciate the work you put into the videos!👍

I did regular electric tape but I crimped a thin piece of a connecter around it. turned out ok.

I got it running, it was the low battery all along. Got a educational video out of it so no one needs to bother with a starter but if someone does we got it. Also got that line taped and secured better. Don't give up faith yet!

@tomd864 ok ty, I'm just in the process of wrapping it and putting starter back in. Hopefully it will be a decent video. Tough to get camera in decent spot.

Got it going I'll have video out shortly!

@@TheJBros520 Good job JBro can't wait to watch!

@dustinsaraharnold9489 Thanks for info

Hey, Thanks. A guy could be disappointed by this happening but I'm happy whatever knowledge we can gain from this is good. Far as preventative maintenance or preparing ahead. More we know what to expect the better. Cheers.

@@TheJBros520 Well for the price, it's still a good deal!

I might pop the starter back on as it doesn't seem messed up.... but I still will probably get a new one to have on hand. So if anyone else has trouble, I'll find where to get the starter. Least we will all have an idea, to troubleshoot.

I'm thinking same as you. I will retry original starter as it doesn't take long to do. But I'm going to get a new one to have.

@chipandputt Thanks for that info. As the curious person I am. I pulled the starter. The thing obviously looks brand new. I pulled it apart as I just replaced the starter on my 4 wheeler. I going to bring it in to at least know what setup we need. I have it on trickle charge now. Getting starter out was not bad. I'll drop a video tomorrow morning.

@@TheJBros520 I just picked up my machine (identical to yours) 2 days ago ... so I am obviously very curious about your issues, fixes, upgrades, etc.

​@@chipandputt I've got the same one, 16 or so hours in two days and the only issue so far is I shorted out the ignition switch and blew the fuse lol.

@whatchath385 Crazy better $100 or so starter than something else. I'll definitely try find a name brand starter, looks pretty common.

@@TheJBros520 Hopefully you won't have too much machine downtime.

@@whatchath385 Right!!!!! Thanks for thinking about us. 😆

@@TheJBros520 👍

W Hey bro where did you get the starter from what was your process to get one in hand . 🤝

@@907sb8 I'm thinking I drained my battery. I left the master power on with my lights and fan on. So I'm wondering if it still wasn't drawing current??? I put the charger to it. Everything thing seems gtg atm. But I was going to do a video about it tonight when I'm done. Just as a reminder to turn master off.

@toddbrown4542 Did you change both hydraulic and engine oil? Original hydraulic oil was super thin. Not that it should have much to do with engine but I without a doubt would change the engine oil if you haven't. That slow drag creeping forward is confusing. Does it almost feel like a flooding of the engine?

@@TheJBros520 Its not flooding, but acting like it is under excessive load. It does the same thing, although barely noticeable, when you lower and dump, but not when you raise or curl. I will be changing both fluids in the weeks ahead and let you know if it changes anything. I'm wondering if there could be a restriction in the hydraulic fluid somewhere, but that does seem to explain why the overloading/draging'jerking only happens when you are trying to creep slowly forward but goes away as soon as you are moving forward at full speed

@tigertoilet2 That's normal. This turf came off a college football field. When removing they are cut in 9' x 50' rolls. Reason these are so heavy is it has all the rubber in fill still in it.

Seems of late in my area after fees one can be had for around 4k, atm. I'm sure it could pick up 1.2k with counter weights, that would be max guess. rated for about 900 lbs. I'm going to try set up some sort of weight lifting test in near future.
