You have done an incredible job from start to finish. If I was there with you I would give you a pat on the back because you really deserve it. Now the only thing is you need a few different buckets. I myself what to make a front end loader and a backhoe to put on a little Kubota tractor I have for my son in law so he can use it for doing trenches for power and I can assure you that I will be going back to your videos every now and then to get ideas and I'm a diesel mechanic and have worked on machinery all my life . Stay safe from Australia Dean.
Very cool build. You did a professional job here. If you would have Chosen yellow or orange as color people would believed you just bought that machine from a professional manufacturer. Your love to details and quality work is amazing!! Thank you for the video series.
1. Hydraulic pump with bigger flow - this engine is not load in full. Now whole machine is slower than working with shovel 2. Some exchangeable parts might be done , like bucket lock or main arm hinge . Now you have potential points of making bigger hole by outer ring at main pins of arm and this can damage whole part of arm . Nice job anyway ! Thanks for sharing .
Nice to see that you put a hitch on your blade like some people do on their excavators. Some people put a hitch box on their blades so they can use different types of hitches and different drop hitches also. On TH-cam look up excavators with trailers and you can also see cotton top 3 putting a hitch on his excavator blade. Duckgirl 86 has her own wheeled excavator and she drives it from job to job and she pulls her trailer with her attachments in it and she can operate the dump bed from the cab of her excavator and she's very good at using that trailer on the job moving materials and supplies. That machine of yours looks a lot like a Ditch Witch specifically designed for trenching and backfilling.
I watched this build series from the start. Held my comments till now. Great machine and very professional looking. I built a micro-hoe that pales in comparison. But then all I had for tools was an angle grinder and a 110V wire welder. My Bridgeport drill was a 25 year old $75 Craftsman drill press. My build location was the great outdoors. I did get a hand held bandsaw half way through. Also only spent about $1000 U.S. dollars.

Очень хорошая копалка! Попробуй поршневую и штоковую полость стрелового гидроцилиндра через "педальку" и простейший золотниковый распределитель соединить, у тебя получится "плавающее" положение стрелы и почувствуешь,что возможностей экскаватора добавилось.Ещё если к отвалу приварить козырёк,то копать и подбирать грунт будет гораздо проще и гидроцилиндры отвала от грунта не будут страдать.Удачи! Копалка просто класс!
Did you ever add a thumb attachment to the boom to grab logs/rocks? Amazing build, how many hours to plan and construct? Just found your channel and so far I'm blown away. Thanks for showing your handwork.
Thanks :) I have a little hook I can screw in bucket to lift things but I can´t grab. About hours, I don't really remember (2 years ago). But it usually gets about 10h a week. x approx 40weeks= 400h, cad work included
It looks very very well made. Really really impressive work! One question I do have though. With your skill level, why did you not build a tracked excavator with 360° rotation? I own one and love it and from what I see in the video it would just be a lot more comfortable and quicker to use.
Hello, and thanks 🙂. After careful consideration, I decided to skip the possibility of 360 rotation. I simply wanted to build as cheaply, quickly, and easily as possible, and with wheels to avoid damaging the lawn. And the most important requirements are met for me, which are to do small jobs in the garden. But I agree that it would have become a much better machine with 360 rotation.
@@AlfaSeven thanks very much for the reply. I did notice how good your excavator is to the lawn! Mine is a small 2,7t and if I make a turn on lawn, even slightly, it makes its mark. Best Regards!
Well done my man. There are some here who always leave negative reviews because they are not capable of performing such a task as you have just completed. I started out as a mechanic, added welder and eventually mechanical technician. Love the skills you have demonstrated. Keep it up. Just a question? Did you cost the job, just the materials. Thanks, Robin.
Next time when you build another one, make sure that you don't put any kind of bushing inside of those pin holes (i mean those pin holes on frame) because it would just make those frame holes become oval after hundred of hours compared with pin holes without it.
Man you nailed it. The excavator looks really good.you did a great job. Just perfect. Ill suggest you to make the videos little longer from 10 minutes to 15 minutes, so can see more of your incredible works. And ill suggest you to make the leg like you can swing so you’ll more stability. Hope to see more videos from you

Wow, I really like your comment!
It was the finest comment anyone has ever written to me. .
Thank you very much 🙂👍👍👍
I understand exactly what he did. He built a backhoe. Not an excavator.
Exactly

finished up looking quite professionally made
Excellent engineering. It has quite a powerful breaking force. I'd quite happily operate it all day.
Beautiful piece of equipment. Amazing construction too! God Bless.
Awesome display of ingenuity, design, persistence and skill.

"Oh the Joy" of operating something you built yourself, congratulations. That cat in the end looked just like my Figaro.
good looking mini excavator
Nice loader. Trailer would be a death trap to tow...
I really enjoyed watching this series, thanks for uploading!
Wow dein Bagger ist echt gut geworden perfekt gebaut.
Bitte weitere solche Projekte 👍👍👍
Add 2 more light at the boom near EW2 mark, left and right
That's very cool. Thanks for make it.
Desde Colombia, estos son vídeos q valen la pena, q increíbles 👏💪
Looked like a cross between store bought parts and NASA. Nice job!

Really I was not sure that the 12 hp engine will get enough power for this excavator Iam shocked good jop

Mom! Dad's destroying our grass again!
You should add led lights on the sides of the boom / arm for the night shift. The lights on the boom will shine right at your bucket/target area.
You should put some lights out near the bucket nice creation you have
really enjoyed watching this series.João from Brazil
Thanks 🙂
Amazing beautiful hand crafted build. Genius
Very nice; well done.
Well done, thanks for sharing your build!
Those welds are on par sir. Great job! Do you have a cnc plasma or did you have someone else make the parts?
Very Nice Work!!! Watched the whole serie at once!
Nice to hear 🙂
Thanks for sharing you thoughts and engineering to build you equipment , backhoe awesome from Toronto Canada cheers you are the man
Thanks 🙂

Может можете информации об тракторе помочь? Давно хотел заняться ,извините,что без разрешения.
I personally would build a bigger bucket...
Уважение к таким людям которые многое своими руками делают.
Very nice machine.
That machine looks awesome!! Thanks for sharing
Great results! Kudos! It would be nice to know the gross weight of the product finished, as well as other operating parameters...
Hi, here is more info:

Excelente trabajo, pero excelente.
A very limited swing radius is very unfortunate here but overall great job on those welding work
Beats a shovel, and more fun too.

About hours, I don't really remember (2 years ago). But it usually gets about 10h a week. x approx 40weeks= 400h, cad work included
Nice work but a shovel would be quicker
fantastic job...paint spray gun would make your perfect welds look even better..awesome
Perfect welds? Ya ok
I dont care if his welds are bad it's a good project to practice on
@@pikaonyoutube2139 lol ok you cared enough to respond with emotion so you do care

Fantastic color
Good job mate...
Awesome build! You obviously have a multitude of skills.
Awesome great job
Watched all 16 episodes and Sir you are Awesome!
I suppose mum was happy until you spent the first 48 hrs digging up the back yard!
Hahaha,
I'm preparing for house extension
Unbelievable job. Awesome
Молодец 👍👍👍,отличный проект сделал. Продолжай в том же духе, а может что-то большее смастерить, подумай . Успехов в дальнейших планах ✌✌✌

Thanks Robin,
As I remeber the material cost was around 4k Euro, but some part are used.
You are a genius wow that was some good work amazing simply amazing
amazing job , Flawless from start to end - well done
Thanks! :)
Уважение золотым рукам. Класс👍👍👍
Awesome work! So cool!!!
What was the cost Incurred for this whole excavator building process?
:)...Real nice build...Smart idea using the mower platform...Your hydraulics are very well done...You know your stuff!
Класс, мне очень понравился экскаватор!!!
Fantastic work very Nice 😎😎😎
This is very nice 👍
สุดยอดจริงๆ ขอบคุณสำหรับทุกคลิปที่ผ่านมาด้วยครับ
Супер вот это подход!!!
superbe travail , j'ai regardé tout les épisodes d'un trait , fantastique réalisation !
Thanks!! 👍🙂
Super awesome, I want one
Awesome! 🚜
If you can, How much did it end up costing for build materials & components?
You have done a fantastic job.
Congratulations, well done.
Good job bro I am lndian from Punjab
Which hydraulic pump do you use in this project? And please tell the cylinder details also
excellent workmanship, excellent project, the only video I have tried and commented on so far, there is a great effort, you are a wonderful
Excellent comment 🙂

Congratulations for the wonderful work!!!! I would like to know if you sell the project so that I can also manufacture one?
Hi, no but you can download my cad model (STP file) here if you want: www.roxgt.se/downloads/
You Can be Verry Proud of that sir verry Nice work
well what a nice series u made wish i have the space to make suchs a nice machine
Man you nailed it. The excavator looks really good.you did a great job. Just perfect. Ill suggest you to make the videos little longer from 10 minutes to 15 minutes, so can see more of your incredible works.

Fantastic mate.. you are truly skilled 👍🏽
Bravo, Bravo......
Really really good 👍 can i ask you how much did it cost you please🙌🔥
It looks simple to build, but it's not!
Nice job!
Simply amazing!
Молодец. Работа колосальная.
Nice series, tough i wonder do u have more power? Sounds like idling
Thanks, yes it is almost idel. In higher revs the hydraulic oil getting hot after one hour. No oil cooler.
@@AlfaSeven ahha y tought as much better get ufself a cooler then😊
Amazing job! Cant imagine how many hours, id love to build one. I think i will
Thanks 🙂
Super extraordinar job, great job!!!
Skills!!! 🤯👏
Great Job. Do you have some plans of this great build? All the episodes are perfect filming. Greatings from România!
Thanks,
I have no drawings
Gostei parabéns muito bom parabéns guerreiro
Great build man.
