Chinese Mini Excavator - Dozer Blade Mount Failed AGAIN !!!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 ก.ค. 2022
- Hi all and welcome back to another video where im severely peed off with Shangdon Infront Machinery. This is now the second time i have had the dozer blade fail where the hydraulic cylinder mounts onto the excavator chassis. The first time was about 30 hours into the mini excavators life. Then i repaired the break the first time with 12mm plate steel. I thought surely this wouldnt break again. HOW WRONG I WAS !
Now ive had to bring it back in to get repaired for the 2nd time. This time i have used a piece of C Channel. This is a much better option as it will provide better strength to the chassis where the cylinder is mounted.
I want to personally apologise to anyone who has purchased one of these and this happens to them, if it happens to them. Infront Machinery need to beef up this area like other manufacturers have done to theirs. Please anyone who is looking at these mini excavators need to do their research and ask for the specifics on these areas, it may not just be Infront Machinery as most of the mini excavators on Alibaba look very similar.
Thank you to everyone who has watched and gave me good words and even those who have gave me stick for it too. Thank you guys, yous are awesome.
Part of my apprehension over buying one of these is longevity. Sure they are cheap compared to big brands when bought, but less then 50 hrs it structurally breaks. Thanks for putting out honest videos about your experience.
Hey buddy and thank you for commenting 👍 so I am also like you in your thoughts, I never thought this would happen so early on thats for sure. But that's why I'm here on youtube giving my views, opinions and no B S facts on the machine. Yes it's noisy and no where near as good as branded and should I have bought a well used 2nd hand one ??? YES I should have bud.
It's nearly got 200 hours on so not all bad 😁 thanks again buddy 👍
Hello Nick, I'm so sorry for the issues you are having with your blade mounts, that must be super frustrating with such low hours. Is that sort of thing covered by warranty? I mentioned I briefly had an XN12 then upgraded to an XN20 and there is no comparison between them. The XN20 is just so much better built and way more robust. Many speak about Chinese junk but I have a lot of confidence in the XN20 that I didn't feel for the 12. I realise that you are pissed off at the moment but just remember that you are getting quite a large following on TH-cam now and what you are posting is very important to a lot of people. And all the guys that write in to give you advice, they're doing that because they respect what you do and want to help you. Hang in there bro.
Wow Nick can't believe that last weld gave up. By the looks of it I thought it was a great job but as you know the weakest link always breaks. All you can do is keep pressing forward. I cannot imagine there being a problem in that area after this job. Keep up the good work
Your telling me Ryan, I was sure that would last a lot longer but hey hoo. All I know is I think I've done it properly this time and it will last longer. If it doesn't, well I'm going to give up forever 😂
Thanks for commenting buddy 👍
Happened to me twice in a year as well, I'm a bit rough on it. Just did the same thing. Runs for now. Nice repair, thumbs up 👍👍👍👍
sorry ive just seen this comment, which company did you purchase yours from ? are you saying your chassis had broken in the same place as mine did ?
Seems to be a really poor design in that area.
Thanks for commenting 👍
Hello Nick, don't worry about the others because to buy this type of machine you have to be a handyman. Don't forget that they have a "parts" guarantee and not a "labor" guarantee. Now, for the same machines there are several different bases used, mine is more compact than yours with thicker steel and that did not prevent me from planning by consolidating certain places with welding! Your advice on the machine gives direction but does not prevent anyone from researching the quality, you are even less forcing a purchase. I make small or big modifications almost every week, it's sometimes a pleasure and sometimes boring but I have MY machine and not a Yanmar or Kubota at 25000€, it's My machine which looks more and more like me more ! I love it with its good and bad sides! 171 hours on the clock and a hydraulic brushcutter installed and working! Good luck my Nick!
.....Another thing, you know that you're only a human ? Only workers make errors, the others look and give critics ! twice I had to cut what I had welded because of errors of attention! It irritates, it prevents you from sleeping but that's also the pleasure when you finally get what you want!
@@lalloy21 hey buddy, I wonder how you've replied back to this video when it was partially taken down.
But thank you for your kind words. I have only done said videos for people who may have 1 and they can see what I have done to rectify the issue.
It may not happen to others but if it does, I wonder how they get on.
I like how you said yours is looking more and more like you 🤣 mine is looking like a patchwork quilt now 😆
I'm sure I wouldnt be in this predicament if it was a branded machine as it would be under a true warranty and would be taken back immediately.
Thank you again for your continued support, really appreciated.
@@everydaywithmenick Hey Nick,
I just got a notification for your video. When I spend time modifying, when I leave fatigue, sometimes skin and in the end I'm proud to have done it, then it's as if a small part of me came from attach themselves to the machine. It's not expensive so far from perfect but it saves me a lot of fatigue, does what I can't anymore. For you it's different because it has to help you work, earn a living, so you need a reliable machine that won't waste your time! Afterwards, we are never safe from falling on the "shit" of the series which undergoes "Murphy's law"!
I installed my hydraulic brushcutter, it works but I will have to install a flow divider because when I activate it it takes all the flow!
Take care Nick!
@@lalloy21 aah that's strange to be still shown it. Never mind 😄
Yes it's not only our time that goes into these machines but like you said, skin, tears, sweat and a lot emotions.
Murpheys law definitely applied on this job. Seems I've been living by that law for the last few jobs I've been on.
How does the brushcutter perform when taking all the flow 😄
Bet it will help you out big time though.
@@everydaywithmenick You changed on your own, it's not Mulphey's law but Murphy's!
For the brushcutter, I bring the head to the right place, start it up and use gravity to gently lower the boom! At full speed it runs at 3000 rpm. I'm going to put an adjustable limiter that will give it enough to spin at 2000 rpm/ which will be more than enough and give me some excavator movement. Otherwise it's great, I don't have any more bruises like with the hand brushcutter.
Thank you very much Nick for all the time you spend to offer us these videos, your experience and your joviality.
very nice repair job, after seeing your video i insisted on buying a mini with plate steel chassis vs the tubing like your model. thanks for the video
Thank you Adrian. Yes id be more vigilant on buying chinese machines, some are made better than others and others are made on a very low budget.
Who did you purchase of in the end then ?
Thank you again buddy 👍
I went with the AGT L12 the beefier frame and dozer were nice along with the cast iron counterweight and the hydro cooler with fan was a nice touch@@everydaywithmenick
@@adrianbachmann4058 ill check them out and see what they look like buddy, glad you like your machine though buddy
Love the channel. Liked and subscribed. Sent over by the tree farmer down under.
Thank you very much, Dave is a legend 🙌 thank you again 👍
They lied to you. That blade portion definately fails on those machines. In the states, the Groundhog brand specifically worked with their manufacturer to redesign that and the dozer blade itself because of its tendency to fail.
Good thing you're a handy guy! Enjoying your videos!
I know this video is old now, but an extra comment always helps push your videos out!
Hey James, I appreciate any comment on any video, don't matter if it's recent or old, you viewers are awesome.
Well that's good to hear that other chinese manufacturers have had issues because I don't believe mine is the only one, No way !
The metal that the ram was mounted onto was insufficient and I told the main man at Infront Machinery and still they are producing the same style with no improvements.
Thank you for your support buddy 🙏
so much welding, great work buddy
Thank you buddy, hopefully is the last time it has to be done. Thanks again dude.
I don't think your welds were penetrating. I was surprised that you used a mig welder for a 10 mm plate. Usually that requires a heavy duty stick welder. The original failure was from the manufacturer around the mount. But the second failure was yours. I would have rewelded the broken part on and then added gusset plates on either side for support.
Another good vid , all the best 👍🏻🏴
Thank you buddy. Take it easy 👍
Looks like a good repair to me.
If it makes you feel better Nick - you don't need to worry about my machine as it'ts made in Japan ( athough the mini < 13 ton are made in Italy), time too start saving for a quality used one 😄
Yes sir, I think your right. There was one local on market place, Kubota U1.5-3 for 4500 + VAT on a 17 plate but it had nearly 3k hours on it. Would need bushings and idlers etc all inspecting/replacing.
I will though look for one, just give me time 😄
Yeah that’s unacceptable
I bought a rhino xn12 digger (1.2T kubota 3 cyl engine) and it was the same quality the ignition was not wired correctly from factory and had bare wires in the barrel terminals which in turn would click the relay like crazy and then it got that hot it shorted the battery out twice I only found that out after the second battery and investigated it further myself, rhino rep in Australia where I bought it told me it was common for the barrels to go and sent me another and while I was changing it I realised the bare wires under the loom tape
I had to replace the heavy gauge wire from the starter motor to the battery terminal because they one that come from factory was not crimped right and had far to many strands of copper wire missing off the crimp end for it to carry the current
The fittings from the manifold
Block under the dash leaked after 5 hours use and I had to re seal 6 fittings, the tracks wouldn’t stay tight and would pop off while tracking forward sometimes most of the undercarriage bolts would rattle loose after a days work, the starter motor had problems engaging, it would stall randomly sometimes while idling, it had a hard time even scraping back grass back with a mud bucket, was even under powered with the 450mm bucket on for scraping back grass and dirt back in prep for concrete cut outs, as far as lifting and digging powered it was pretty under powered
Digging anything substantial and for long continueas trenches was a no go, crazy thing the 200mm auger and auger motor that come with the machine actually worked very well
The auger only got pulled up when it hit a decent sized rock as most and and once it was cleared out the hole it was very good, the ripper and thumb attachment that also came with it was pretty useful aswell
Pretty much all the grease nipples on the machine from factory where no good and had to be replaced with quality ones
All in all I won’t ever buy a china digger again it was far more of a hassle than it was worth
I didn’t expect a CAT, kobelco,kubota XCMG etc quality machine by any means, I did expect more that I got for my 18K though,
I’m saving up for a kubota u25-3 which is obviously a bigger machine but a quality one
These china diggers are ok for what they are, when they start playing up and you have to constantly fix or do things to them which you really shouldn’t have to it gets frustrating, you end up losing time and productivity and that’s a no go in business especially when your customers want every thing done now type deal
All in all when I sold it it had 52 hours on it and it was a struggle the whole time
I made sure the next owner knew all this and he was happy using it on his hobby farm and wasn’t too fussed
Wow Dan, you seem to have had the run of bad things there with your Rhino. I thought them machines were slightly better than others as they seem to be a common machine so the quality checks may have been better. Obviously not the case.
I too would like a branded machine but damn they're a lot lot more and I know for good reason but still. Its still like twice or even 3 times more.
I made a mistake not buying the 3 cylinder engine, that 1 cylinder Koop engine is awful on the ears after a day's or a full weeks graft.
Thank you for sharing your experience of a Chinese mini excavator, I'm sure we aren't the only ones who have had issues. Welcome to the channel also 😁
Thanks Nick, i know how everyone bangs on about how crap these machines are, you are very unfortunate in your case but im still prepared to take that gamble, maybe not from Infront as ive seen a couple of used brand machines and was shocked by the price and condition, one looked like it had been shoved off mount everest and stored in the ocean, a million hrs on clock , rams leaking, pump and engine on way out, knackered tracks all for the amazing sum of 9k then the cheek to add VAT lol , basically a renovation so dont beat yourself up i totally understand why you bought one, hope to see more vids, cheers Glenn
Thats fair on willing to purchase one like I did. There are some better companies who are offering a good machine but for a little more money but I think it is worth it now. For instance the 3 cylinder diesel engine would be better all round, the 1 cylinder Koop engine is very annoying when running it all day.
I too know what you mean regarding the used market, I looked at some machines and they were ridiculous amounts of money for not a good machine. That's what made me import one.
I sure hope you find a good manufacturer with a decent machine.
Amazing chinese structural engineering ...
I can't tell from this if your being serious 🤔 but I can tell you it's weak ass chinesium steel 😆
Thanks for commenting 👍
Hi Nick, been enjoying your vids, im after a similar machine, did infront come up with the goods in the end ? ie new under carriage ? thanks Glenn, east sussex
Hi Glenn and thank you for commenting and watching my videos 👍
NO ! Infront didn't come through with a new under carriage or another excavator they promised me. I personally wouldn't use this company but others are still using the manufacturer. I know it was a gamble and everyone did say the build quality won't be great but come on... the chassis broke within 50 hours doing normal tasks.
I wish you the best of luck but I wouldn't recommend Infront Machinery.
@@everydaywithmenick
I would have drilled a few holes in the replacement plate and then welded them shut to keep it from flexing your welds look great
Hi Nick, i may well be too slow with my thoughts, but looking at the start of your video the receiving ram brackets are pointing down but do appear to be shorter than the "replacement" they sent. Also accounting for the 6mm plate welded onto as apposed to into the frame may require them to be even more stout. Ps I've owned a Chinese pick up (great wall steed) and a Chinese landlegend 25hp tractor, both great in their own way but several problems due to poor build quality, so I feel your annoyance.
Hey buddy 👋 yes I reviewed my footage to see what angle the old brackets were at and they were a lot shorter. It's no issue though as I'll just cut it off and reweld into the correct place.
I've seen Great Wall vehicles and often thought, I wonder what they are like.
I looked at the chinese tractors too but didn't bother in the end. I too thought the build quality may be poor.
Thank you for you comment 😊
Just remember, when one door closes, another one slams in your face .
seems to me nick that the geometry is wrong on that cylinder mount and the cylinder is putting tremendous force on the mount when fully retracted.good luck with the repair.
just to add,I meant the original geometry from the factory!
@@martinprice2342 hey buddy 👋 I think you may be correct as I've just copied what they had done previously. I don't know how it can do it when there is pressure always going inwards to the chassis. I'll keep checking on it and hopefully it never happens again fingers crossed 🤞
Thanks for your support buddy 👍
Hi Nick, I'm sorry that your machine has broken again but I think the original design geometry for the blade and its cylinder mounts are wrong. Both failures have been with the mount pulling away from the machine, the exact opposite of what you would expect. I don't know what the last job was but I suspect that there were points when the blade was lowered into a hole so that the weight of the digger couldn't help with raising it back up and the blade end of the cylinder went past the point where it was lifting the blade and into a situation where it was at best trying to pull it into the machine mounting and at worst almost trying to pull the blade further down. I think the solution( although by the time you read this you will probably have finished welding it back together) is to raise the cylinder mounts at both ends as high as you can without them fouling on the king post at full blade lift and/or don't lower the blade where the weight of the digger can't help it back up. I hope this makes sense and possibly helps.
Keep it up.
Hi Jeremy 👋 and thank you for your valued feedback. When I use the dozer blade to give the machine some stability, I only just have it giving pressure off the tracks so most of the tracks are still on the ground. But I agree that the geometry is wrong and needs to be addressed, I'll get on it as soon as I get chance.
Thanks for your help buddy 👍
Hey mate did you ask about your 1 year warranty etc with your supplier when this happened the first time? appreciate your videos
Also what were you doing when it broke?
@@n8pofficial hey buddy and thanks for commenting. So yes I got in touch with them and they didn't really want to know. Was like there wasn't a 1 year warranty with the machine at all.
I was just digging footings for extensions and it must have been too much for the machine and the way it is engineered. Cheap Chinese steel.
Thank you for watching and your support.
i feel for you mate...
Thank you buddy 👍
Are you back dragging the blade a lot? Might not be as strong in that direction.
Hey buddy and thanks for commenting. No back dragging just forward pushing, so it's the opposite break as you would expect. It was just cheap thin plate steel that wouldn't hold to much.
All sorted now and stronger than it ever will be.
Thanks again 👍
Not good mate hope you get somewhere with the Chinese company !! liberty you having to do that fair enough if it had age and wear on it but not new ! I’d be raging with them .
Hopefully you get sorted keep the content coming tho it’s a good channel 👍
Hi Neville and thank you for your kind words. No it's not ideal when it didn't have many hours on it. It's just one of those things we got to get over with.
Thank you for your support 👍
Have you spoke with Infront?
Hey Harry 👋 last time it happened, they did send that piece I shown in the video but that is not an ideal piece to repair such area. I feel like I'd be wasting my time.
Thanks for your comment 👍
If you put the tracks up on blocks could you get in there better from under side hard to tell.
Hey 👋 it was difficult all round to be fair but wasn't that bad either. I know, it's a oxymoron 😄 but i was able to get at all I needed too. Holding up very good now too. Thank you for commenting 😊
Obviously they’re made to a budget
Still shit though
I think your right. Also, I'm probably using it for more than it's intended purpose market. That little mini may have been aimed at the hobby land owner so it won't have had the same amount of use as say me who uses it for work.
We shall keep repairing if needs be 😆
Just bought one last week and the only gas that I will put in it is the ethanol free gas.
Congratulations on your purchase buddy, you do right to use the proper fuel however I've ran normal pump fuel through all my little engines, I just don't leave it stored in.
Hope it works fantastic for you buddy.
Thank you for commenting 👍
La idea es buena pero está mal soldado . Me fijé en el video anterior cuando soldabas. Primero se suelda un cordon , pero se le saca un pequeño borde a la plancha para que la soldadura penetre bien y luego se ponen los otros dos cordones de soldadura. Y no muy anchos todo parejo no hay que recalentar tanto el metal , porque pierde su resistencia. tambien se puede usar una plancha en L , o ponerle refuerzos en L a los lados de las orejas , pero date tu tiempo soldar el primer cordon de soldadura tiene que derretir y penetrar las dos planchas y la soldadura.tiene que estar pareja. Pintar las partes recalentadas para evitar la corrosión.
in the instructions it says that you cannot use the oar for support when digging
I find that instruction very unrealistic. That's the whole point amongst other uses for that dozer blade. It's there for stability. Thanks for that though buddy. How's yours holding up ?
@@everydaywithmenick I use the blade but only 1cm on the ground
@@user-xg9vj6jk9q that's not a lot, if you watch training videos on excavators on youtube they show you the uses for blades. To say that in a instruction book is barmy
I have got a tb108 with 4000hs no Cracks or Wellds Is same engine original well Maintained
Hi Max 👋 I'm not sure what a TB108 is but it must be a good machine for that many hours and no problems at all. What about bushings and pins etc ?
Takeuchi tb108 it a micro digger it Wait is 930kg I have done the pin and bushes I was thinking of changing it 2 the new tb210r
@@maxevans8312 I see now. Them Takeuci machines are quite decent from what I've heard and seen. Go ahead and get one 😄 can you get me one at the same time 🤣
That machine seems like your bread and butter. I'd get rid asap and get a non Chinese one. Prices seem to be holding on micros minis but don't think that'll be the case much longer. Sell up, hire in if needed, buy good used machine. 8010 is a good bet.
Hey buddy 👋 the machine certainly does help with jobs that I do. I keep looking for 2nd hand machines but most have been crazy priced. Like you say, hopefully these prices fall and make them more affordable.
Thank you for your suggestion and comment buddy 👍
I'm looking into a Chinese digger because of the price difference between U.S AND OVER SEAS I'm looking for middle ground I have found a few here in the states 10,000 don't get you much new = none used gets you worn out40 yr old rock an roller with bad bushings and under carriage with dollar signs all over it right wrong or indifferent its looking like the Chinese are gonna win
May this method would help strengthen blade
It will strengthen the blade now, nice and solid now for sure. The steel channel section has really done a great job.
Thanks keep making the videos luv ‘‘em mate take care
@@malwaite5783 thank you, appreciate your support.
Next time you buy a Chinese machine look at CXMG 1.5 that will be a excellent Machine instead of what You purchased FYI
thank you for commenting. Im not sure i will be buying another chinese excavator in a rush.
What is the brand of that excavator you have recommended ?
Just to stick my 2 cents in, is it possible that your welds gave way? In the pictures it looks like that’s where it tore off. I’m saying because my little mig welder would not do what you did there, I’d have to use the stick. Maybe?
Hi Robert and your 2 cents are welcome here. The welds did give way but also tore more of the Chinesium metal away with them. Them welds were good fillet welds and would hold up well.
This time I have used heavy gauge channel steel and reinforced it underneath, so fingers crossed there be no more breakages. I would have used stick as I have it combined on my welder but it was easier for me to use the mig. I've welded 12mm plate with full crank with good penetration so it can do it. Stick does get down in there though. What welder you got ?
@@everydaywithmenick
Copy that. I have only 120 volt mig and 220V Canox stick, and although I love the mig, I really have seen its limitations. Should have got the 220V but I bought it for doing sheet metal and light work…
Just getting ready to pull the trigger on a Chinese excavator, but I’m going with Rippa. I think they are the best of the Chinese bunch, but we’ll see
@@robertmorris9998 I've seen a lot of the Rippa brand and it's funny but at the time of me looking for excavators, Rippa weren't anywhere to be seen. I know they've been round long enough, not sure what happened there and my research.
I've never worked with any 120v stuff, obviously 110v with site equipment but not a welder. I bet it would be really good on tin work.
Hi nick , would u i
Mind writing here the name of that firm i think i bought a 2 ton from them 😅, fluck xD
Hi Andre, the company was Shandong Infront Machinery. I can't recommend them as they have ceased all contact with me since the chassis on my 1 ton machine had broken for the second time.
Hope this helps buddy 👍 thanks for commenting.
@everydaywithmenick hi Nick thanks for your reply , I bought my from shandong eachan machinery I think will be the same , I'm truly sorry for yours , when I get mine I will post some videos measuring the steel thickness so we can compare , mine supposed to be 2 ton , I'm curious to see If it will be the same
Hi nick was it youtube that ,was upset or the manufactures , l was lead to believe that Ailba gave some sort of guarantee of sorts, coul you give the price you paid x china and the total price it cost in total, l think its in a video some were but can not seem to find cheers, adrian.
The manufacturer wasn't happy with the video and caused a slight problem with the video but it's all back on now and that's that.
I'm not too sure what Alibaba could do now to be honest but it's not worth pursuing now, if it only had a few hours on then it would have been.
Thank you Adrian.
I find that when repairing thing it's best to over kill a little then to under do it. What are you welding with. I haven't heard mig welding like that.is it fluex core with gas.
How many hours on it. I have bought a cheaper one my self. I understand that there may need repairs. But for 12,000 cheaper then a name brand. I'll do some repairs. Everyone needs to under stand that.
Hey buddy 👋 I agree with you regarding overkill is better than nothing. I was using mig when welding and it is gas weld. The steel it was welding to on the mini excavator was a bit crap if anything, the steel is very porous and pops quite a lot.
The mini ex has 137 hours on it now. I agree too, I will continue doing repairs as long as I don't spend close to 15k on a used one that isn't great. Thanks for understanding 😄
Awe Nick, that's just a ball ache. You made me laugh about influencing others, my TH-cam feed had you at the top followed by Ian and Julie in France 🤣 My nm e10 is due to dick tomorrow or wed. It is what it is and you aren't responsible. Julie and Ian have had Chinese Tele coverage, perhaps the exposure will incentivise in front to put this right for you 🙏
DOCK!!!! 🤣
@@draidangraham it's due to dick tomorrow eh 🤣 it be nice to see if yours is any different and to actually see if anything has been listened to.
Julie and Ian are using theirs too but I don't think theirs was Infront Machinery though.
One can only hope that they look at this and actually think, ooh we best sort this ASAP.
Thanks for your appreciation and support 🙏 👍
Starting to believe there's a reason they are cheap.
Yup me too. It has only been the chassis so far though, others have had different experiences with their Chinese minis.
I'll just keep bringing it to the shop 😄 thanks for commenting 👍
Hi Nick sorry this happened again. I truly feel your frustration. In true Nick fashion you persevere and overcome! Curious is this happening when pushing dirt or digging with the bucket? I've not received mine yet but I've watched a few training videos. They state to put the blade to the back when digging to effectively lengthen the machine. Might be worth a try. Again thanks for sharing your experiences good and bad!
@@alan0166 hi Alan 👋 I'm not entirely sure as to why it failed again but I think it's just through standard operation. I haven't been doing any or much of any back blading so can't blame that. You'll learn very quickly as to where the blade needs to be when you start digging. It's crazy how 2 different positions give 2 massively different outcomes. Again, all that will come 2nd nature when your on yours buddy. What's the ETA on yours ?
The only difference between cheap equipment and expensive equipment is on cheap you have money left over to fix it as opposed to with expensive you are stuck.
@@user-bc3pc5gu2y I like your thinking on that one. In fact you aren't wrong, you'd have money left over to buy a welder and plasma cutter and drill press to fabricate parts required to fix the machine 🤣 Thanks for your comment 👍
i have seen takeuchi tb016 12000 hour rental machines, which have clearly been abused heavily with every bucket bushing worn, but i have never seen anything of this severity.
Sorry to say it but these chinese machine seem really bad like their like their reputation may suggest.
I wouldn't go lower in price than a Sunward, Sany or Doosan.
Hey buddy 👋 thanks for commenting. The Takeuchi machines are great and I've always seen them last a good time with obvious maintenance. I do think the quality of the steel has some blame and also the correct way to mount the cylinder to the appropriate steel for such heavy applications.
I think they should be the only Chinese options to choose from as I have seen them brands used in commercial applications.
Thanks again buddy 👍
@@everydaywithmenick No problem mate have a good one, eh.
buy junk, get junk..
Mate in no way are you responsible for what happens if anyone buys one based on your vids. You can't know what will happen with any man made piece of machinery. At least you gave people an idea how to fix it if it does happen
Hi Glenn and thank you for your really positive comment. I try to be as open book as possible. I also don't want others buying equipment that fails on them and they can't get it repaired themselves and are left with a huge bill at the end.
Quality controls need to be upped and stronger components required to be able to put a cheap machine out that will last a little longer than 100 hours 😄
Thanks again 😊
No need to be sorry for their poor engineering you’ve done your best ,if a digger is that badly engineered what’s their ships and rigs like
Crack on lad if anyone is capable of fixing it it’s you lad chin up ,carborundum testicalis don’t put your balls in the grinder 😂👍👨🏻🏭
Thanks Paul, it is a shame as it has only been that cylinder mount for the dozer blade that I've had issues with. Not saying everything else is going to be perfect for all of time but at least I know what I've done so far.
Somethings from China should be questioned but then again almost everything is made in China so it can't all be bad 🤣
Thanks for the kinds words buddy 👍 😊
The UK imports about £60 billion of goods from China each year, lol.
I see your problem , you are welding downhanded.
