@@TheOutFitPropertyMaint. It’s a PIA to check the engine oil for sure. Part of the design. But you can check it with a little effort. I changed the hydraulic to AW46. The stuff that comes in it is garbage.
I've got the bigger model to this one, the yellow with 739cc motor. To answer the question, is it worth it? Hell yes. Bobcat wanted $50,000+ taxes for an MT100 in my area, I paid $4275 for the AGT at auction + taxes. The one I have is a little wide at 41 inches where this orange one I believe is 36, but it'll lift 800 lbs right out of the box, 1200-1400 with counter weights. it has three hydraulic pumps for using attachments like augers and mowers etc. It's a chinese machine, as long as you go into it understanding what that means you'll get your moneys worth instantly. Tighten the tracks, tighten all the nuts and bolts, add blue locktite to everything, ensure all the cooling systems work properly, swap the fluids immediately and you've got yourself a proper tool for less than 1/10th of the name brands. I've got pallet forks for mine, going to build myself a 48" bucket and I've got a 48" plow already on hand for the machine so I can use it in the summer and winter.
@@TheOutFitPropertyMaint. It will literally burn and blister your skin. Until you rewire that fan to rotate the opposite direction. Now it’s perfect. Gets warm like any machine. Just not burning hot to blister your skin.
@@TheOutFitPropertyMaint. Hot enough to burn your skin on the backside of the control panel. With the fan drawing in and the engine blowing in, the hot air from both literally just heated up everything metal. It was unbearable. Once I re-wires the fan, it’s normal operating heat now. Oil temp never gets over 180/190.
Good to know about switching the fan around
I just bought one and I haven’t even gotten it home yet so thank you sir. This is welcome information
Solid ass review for the average Joe. Please give a follow up after a fluid service or two. Thanks!
@@DerekMantei Sure will!
Awesome video
Dose the heat from engine blow back on you instead?
How much can this lift? And is it 36” wide? Thank you!
See my follow-up video. Explains all of that and I measure the bucket with a tape. Thanks!

Have you figured an easy way to check the oil? What hydro fluid does it use?

What oil and hydraulic fluid do they use?
I just bought one at an auction. How hot is too HOT ?

@@johnnydsworld710 thanks for the info.
What temp was it getting up to?
