Due to failing to pay complete attention when bidding online I wound up with two LRT-23's, which turned out OK because I have 2 separate properties to use them at---so I kept both of them. Almost like they came from different factories, attention to quality very different between the 2 machines. Paint flaking off on one and one defectively spliced track (obvious had the machine been test driven) I have a theory that when the machines are getting the their final QC inspection the "good" ones are sent to the AGT dealer network and the ones with problems are marked to be auctioned. Pretty sure these are built by the Shandong Hightop Machinery Group.
@@paulliebenberg3410 The first AGT LRT23 I got had a pretty good amount of salt water corrosion. Other than that, a good machine. This one seems to be pretty good as well. They all seem to have their own quirks but it’s hard to beat the price.
Hello, I appreciate you taking the time to make this informed video. I just bought the MS380L from MMS. Very similar machine and I purchased the wheeled model due to videos out there stating the tracks always fall off. Great video and we'll put together.
I purchased mine used from a private seller on Facebook Marketplace. FYI, it did require a slight modification to work though. I believe I might make a video on that modification. Thanks for watching!
I tested the JQ400 for about 30 minutes to make sure everything functioned properly before listing it for sale. Loved the difference in standing platform, but disliked the tracks. The tracks never came off on me during the test; however, my LRT23's track have came off before. Thanks for watching!
I have the JQ 400 as well and the tracks try to come off all the time. Once I hear the pop I immediately stop and go the opposite direction to get the track back on. The tensioning system makes no sense to me.
@@TheThug362 I want to try a model with the threaded tensioning system one day to compare it to our grease-style tensioning. I wondering which one is better in the long run.
@@TheThug362 For tensioning, simply use a grease gun to force some grease through the fitting. To relieve tension, use a 22mm deep well socket to remove the grease tensioning valve. Once removed, you can push the larger front wheel inward. Have some rags handy because this will push out a good bit of grease. This works a little better if you lift the machine where the tracks are not on the ground.

Thank you! I thought about trying a wheeled model. Does the chain ever give you problems?
Where you find the stump bucket, for the LRT 23

I have a jq400 you’re right on the rough ride on concrete. Did you have an issue with , the tracks coming off ??

@@BoxCheckedso how do you tension/de tension it?
