I'm enjoying watching your videos. I'm up in Canada and have imported a few one ton excavators and also was really impressed at how much they could lift. I've got a 1.6 ton on order, similar to your ZH20D. I know it will have no problem lifting a 400lb log, but I'm wondering if I would be able to move the unit while carrying the log so I can put it on my sawmill. Do you think your ZH20D would be able to do this?
I'm currently trying to decide between your ZH14G-2 and BH14G-2 and I do need good lifting capacity for lumber handling. Does the top-mounted cylinder of the ZH14G-2 make a significant change in lifting capacity compared to the BH14G-2 bottom-mounted cylinder?
a top-mounted cylinder configuration might offer advantages such as increased stability, better weight distribution, or improved access to the load. A bottom-mounted cylinder configuration might be preferable in certain situations where space constraints or specific engineering considerations dictate its use.
I watch these machines jerk around pretty bad when running the hydraulics on the boom or swing. Can't you change the flow on them to minimizes this effect or are they too much for such a small machine?
We do sell a counterweight upgrade, It weighs about 170 lbs and would allow you to lift about 50 lbs more but its more for overall stability especially when your blade is up.
@@JD-ys7fj What a dumb statement. He imports them from china from a factory which special builds them to his specifications. Importing it yourself is doable but there are allot of costs and customs paperwork involved on top of just the product price. 🙂

Very impressive. I would have bet it wouldn’t lift it. Nice job again Nick
Is there a way to make it quieter? Would muffler(s?) interfere with performance and/or warranty?
Thanks Nick. Great video.
I'm estimating about 600 lb, bucket included
You do very meaningful demonstrations.

That full bucket was around 600lbs my dude wow incredible.
Think I need one of these!
I second that!
Hey strange question. I am 6’5 and 300 lbs would I fit in this machine? Thanks

Well I'd never get away with this. My wife would think it's too cute to get dirty.
What’s the name of that hydraulic thumb or how can I get one just like yours?

Flow rate can be adjusted for smoother operation.
hi, how many pounds can it lift?
You sell counter weights as well, right? How much would this increase the lift capacity? It would be cool if you could do a video too if you had time!

Holy shit I'm more impressed with the hydraulic thumb grabbing strength
wind
The first bucket we'll over 275lbs there my dude!
How deep can it dig?
All the way from China, lol😊
Do you have anymore in stock?
Order it from Alibaba, that's where he got his

@@stewartflannagan3734 no, took me one day to talk to the salesman and order specifically what I want. 5100$ Canadian total. Eat shit bud
