@@philbeeman hey Phil, glad to receive your quick response. As mentioned, we did have made lots of improments based on clients' practical experience. I mainly list some here. 1. The forklift's rough terrian ability is much better via improve of motor and pump, Achieve real 4x4wd peformance, and increase the max speed to 30km/hr; 2. Option the engine with a Kubota 50 hp motor, more power to climb a 30 degree hill that is 100 meters long. 3. Joystick Control has optional choice, All function combined with some buttons in single handle. 4. Hive Clamps has more adjustable open space, more durable, bigger trip cylinder. 5. Adopting better hydraulic parts, less leaking and decompression. 6. Re-design the mast structure, lighter weight, better vision. 7. Capacity incresed from 800kgs to 1ton at least, and Max1.2 ton in did . 8. Thread lockers are applied for the nuts, which as you mentioned in video. Anyway Phil, the above are just a part of the improvements achieved. We have been gathering the valuable opinions from our clients, and keep improve this forklift quality and serivce, such as the mud fender, wire protect, filters, mufflers, shocks, better paint, free spare parts with machine delivery... ... Thanks again for your support and trust granted to us.
Thanks Phil.Looks pretty decent. The Kubota engine would certainly ease my apprehension of buying off shore equipment like that. It seems to be agile . Is the rest of the driveline of similar quality ?
Just wondering if you had a shift on your lift to go right or left for tight placing? Also, do you have any idea what the supply chain is like for receiving major parts should you need them?
It does have side shift. The parts are all metric fittings which are not hard to source these days. Engine parts will come from my local Kubota dealer. The hydraulic stuff is all standard from what I can see.
So, the forklift over an EZLoader is for ability to use for everything around the farm? It's more advantageous to load up a trailer with the forklift than use an EZ loader mounted on the truck? Of course, I love the EZ loader but at this stage, have to choose multipurpose machinery over devoted machinery...

HI Dora: Thanks for your comments. I'd be curious to know what improvements you have made since.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this lift. Appreciate you and rock on 🤙🏼🙌🏼
Thanks! You too!
Thanks, I wondered how the forklift turned out for you.
Thanks Phil.Looks pretty decent. The Kubota engine would certainly ease my apprehension of buying off shore equipment like that. It seems to be agile . Is the rest of the driveline of similar quality ?
Driveline is two hydrostatic axles. Seems very simple and robust.

Hello Phil, how long ago did you buy your forklift?
Last year shipping was 11k usd for 20ft container… do you have 25% customs in Canada too?
Shipping is down quite a bit now. I was able to ship it in a crate not a whole can. Our duty is less. We aren’t looking for any trade wars.
@@philbeeman is your forklift made in 2022?
@@bee-liftvitalymikityukbeek363 very early in 2022

If you can only get one…. Get the Ezyloader. The forklift I use mostly for moving hives. The Ezyloader helps with the hardest work, pulling honey.
@@philbeeman Cheers!
So does it come with a trailer or is that yours in the video. If it is included, how is the quality?
Purchased separately for nearly as much money.
What was the price before shipping?
I only ask because I am communicating with Ali about the same machine.
~15K USD
@@philbeeman They want 16,500 after shipping and customs it’s 25k
I thought shipping had come down since last year.
Exchange has moved against you as well. I think it was 1.22 to 1 when I bought the dollars.
They are $24,000 now before shipping.
I don’t know current pricing but I see used swingers that are 20 yrs old and thousands of hours selling for 30K.
Same price on Alibaba. I think it is currency that has moved?
As you can see metal braid, you can bet dollars to donuts that it will pop the hoses there.
That’s what I’m afraid of.
@@philbeeman thanks for the video of the work.
