    Sorry it’s been so long! Been trying to keep work flowing and get settled into the new property. The business and my various responsibilities always come firstbefore I’m able to do things like this. As we get into a more stable situation this season I hope to put out a new video once a week. I aim to make more frequent, and better quality videos as the weeks go on and incorporate as much cool stuff as I can. Make sure to follow along!

    Good video. I’ve been checking out the Sany. Good to see the sunward review. Do your undercarriage a favor. Clean it out before it causes damage on your drives sprockets

    I want one. I think I'd take a chance on it over more expensive popular brands. These are a big brand machine overseas like Shantui, Sany, XCMG, and more. Open source parts. I like that

      Once you get your hands on a “Chinese” machine. You’ll see how many parts are the exact same even on big brands. Just without logo stamped on them. Reality of the matter is most American brand machines are made mostly overseas. If you can get the same quality of service and reliability it’s hard for a small business to spend the extra 30-50% just to have a name. I wish things weren’t that way. It’s all about profits and the shareholders. In all reality no equipment brand truly cares about the consumer, as long as they are buying something because they don’t have a choice

      @@dig_it_starnes5222 damn. What a good way to put it. I agree. No one is coming to save us. The very people who are doing this to us get bailed out while they set it up this way and prey on our brand identities and false patriotism. I own lots of cat and deere etc... and the damn stuff is made all over the world. And they are usually a$$h0les who don't care about service or loyalty. We have to play the game back to these fckrs. Go around the diversion and get smart. It's like Harbor Freight...it gets the job done. I've heard people say..."a man is only good as his tools"...or..."buy once cry once". It's a mental limitation. I have a friend who will not be seen on any motorcycle except for a Harley. I ride whatever I have or can afford at the time. I buy different brands and have fun trying them all. I told him..."while you are complaining that you aren't getting to ride I'm riding...my Honda". It's a limited mind scenario. It's like a roof leak. Sometimes you need to throw a tarp over it so you can make it to payday. Sometimes it's like buying furniture at various name brand stores...you may want French antiques...Bed Bath and Beyond...or Badcock.......sometimes Badcock is better than no cock at all!

    Sunward is a known brand. This must be quality.

    Would you ever buy one of their larger machines?

      I’ve spent about 100 hours on the 155 and I liked it. Especially for the price. I would really like to get their 210
      Machine. Little over 50,000 pounds, would be perfect for the dirt pit and land clearing jobs

    Three decent sized trees with stumps and you were swinging them , it also seemed like it was going to pick all three up but dropped one … That was impressive 🤷🏻… I mean I don’t see anything wrong with it …

    I got the Wacker Neuson SM100 powered by a 24.7 horsepower Yanmar diesel engine, and it blew the headgasket and warped the heads at 180h ... it got covered under dealer warranty thankfully

      That’s wild! Glad it was all covered. I have a 333G with over 3,000 hours on the yanmar engine. No actual mechanical failures. Just some bs stuff like coolant tank and turbo boot
