#chickenhawkfarmstead #amazon #reviews
I purchased one of these. Thanks to your comment about picking it up at the FedEx terminal, I was able to get it now instead of waiting for better weather. I live on a dirt road and mud season was starting, I don't think that a tractor trailer could have delivered it. They notified me that they didn't know how long they would be in stock. It is still on my trailer, I am waiting for warmer weather to put it together. At least I have one. Thanks for your videos, they helped me with my final decision on the brand. Can't wait to get it put together.
Awesome glad my video helped. I think you'll be happy with it I still love mine.
Liked the footage of you first getting used to it and the trick shots a little later :). Good review - thanks.
Thinks love this thing is so much fun to use.
Just got mine today. It came 4 days earlier then Fed Ex initially said. Funny enough the liftgate broke on the Fed Ex truck so we had to take it off piece by piece and ended up backing the semi trailer into a big snowbank to get the main frame section off, lol. Got it all put together and it came with a thumb that I did not order so it seems they throw people a freebie. Didn't get to run it today because I have to run to town to pick up the fluids for it but will upload videos on my channel soon. Videos and pictures don't do this thing justice, it is a beast in person.
Thats awesome and a hell of a story about unloading it. Crazy. Supper jealous about thr tumb. But I did get that extra bucket so I can complain looking forward to checking out thr video when I comes out.
@@chickenhawkfarmstead8478 Well one of my kids wanted to do a video before I could get to it, lol th-cam.com/video/njDtrqCpAkY/w-d-xo.html
Well I just pulled the trigger today and bought mine along with a 24-in wide bucket.
It's going to be fun working in Arizona cliche hard pack pull in mesquite stumps out and yucca roots.
I talked to Gerry today and he said he's getting ready to do a video of the harbor freight and their unit comparisons, can't wait to see that video.
Do you know where gerry is going to post the video. I have been wanting to get someone who had a harbor freight one to do a good side by side comparisons. And have your seen the ripper attachment. Don't know if they sale ine but seen people make them for cutting the tree roots before pulling the stump.
@@chickenhawkfarmstead8478 he said they just completed the video. They have a harbor freight unit sitting there so that's how they done their comparison.
I would definitely have them send me a new fuel tank water is going to sit on top of that, and eventually make its way in the fuel
Your not wrong but I do keep a Canvas tarp over the engine and seat and I had a problem with it not lifting right and the sent me a new main Hydraulic cylinder then a switch control unit and a new hydraulic pump witch it ended up being the problem. The othere parts I got to keep. pluse they sent the 18 inch bucket too . So if I got to buy a new fuel tank, I think I am up in the deal.
Open my hb5 I just ripped the stay/outrigger mount. But I was doing things that are obviously beyond it ablities. So time for the welder.
Yea you must have been doing some hardcore stuff to pull that off.
The way they did the shipping packaging just seems lazy. They could have put a cap on top then wrapped the sides with wide plastic wrap which would have at least protected the contents from the weather better.
I purchased a HF trencher, I paid $2800. with shipping and taxes; around $600 on mods: total$3400. I've done a couple of jobs with it in which I saved about 1/2 that price. I have many jobs in future times which makes mine a good investment.
What kinds of mods did you do?
And i look for the Harbor freight one at first but they where on back order for a unknown amount of time.
@@chickenhawkfarmstead8478 They were ideas from HF Trencher owners all posted on TH-cam; some of these mods I copied and some were enhanced by my aptitude and ability+ research. I used the $500 savings coupon about a year ago when this Unit was priced @ $3299, current price I see is @3499.
It would help you if you re locate hydraulic hoses so boom lift and swing is the left lever and boom and bucket on the right
Cats that I run are this way and much easier to operate If I get a machine different I reloocate hoses
My left tire bracket had to be hammered in with a 4x4, I'll need to do some grinding in order for it to slide in and out.
You think its just to much paint or do you think its out of square?
Interesting little thing. Good video.
Have you tried keeping it hooked up to truck to see if stays put? Noticed it pulls itself forward if you take to big of bite. Just curious if you can get a full bucket or just scratch at it.
Yes thats one thing that's suggested is if you leave it hooked up you have more weight to scoop more. And now i got a ball for the mower to more it around. Surprisingly it pulls it quit well.
thanksfor the video!
Hoped it helped
I wonder if some weight on the hitch end would reduce tire bounce when you're operating it? might increase your comfort some...
If you'r staying in one spot i would think so too. Think of making a 300 or so lbs anchor to hook in to the trailer hitch so i can still craw it around. I still have a lot to learn.
@@chickenhawkfarmstead8478 maybe a brace to hold tractor weights, right above the box tube for the hitch? That would make them removable etc
@@kentuckyjohn8969 thats a great ideal
Really enjoyed your video and your little one was the star of the show. Question for you. I have an opportunity to buy a gently used two year old one of these for $3700. Is that a deal you would take?
If it's near by and you can check it out in person. That price isn't bad. If it is the same brand they are pretty strong. And most things can be fixed for 300 or less. I would fill better with a price around 3000-3300. 3700 maby I'd its been keep inside or under a good tarp. And I don't care want any one with a harbor freight backhoe saids about price. this is made much better and with better and thicker steel.
Ok
Those switch wires are made for an oil alert switch ..
Dose it just shut off the engine or does it make a sound. And its good to know what they go to. Thanks for letting me know.
@@chickenhawkfarmstead8478 The oil switch on the HF motor will shut it off. However, on a trencher, it's better to leave it disconnected because when the trencher is at a steep angle, the motor will stop and you don't want that.
Should be quick disconnects
it may have been a return or refurb...
How to install electrical panel
?
I have had the harbor freight trencher for about 4 years now. I probably have about 3 to 4 hundred hours on it and honestly, its just plain old worn out. I love the towable trencher idea, I like the design of the harbor freight one, I like the hydraulics and the engine. But god damn it............ why do the Chinese use CHEESE STEEL? I have broken both stabilizers, an axle, its real sloppy due to ob longed holes, and now I just tore the bucket apart like a sardine can. Its all due to bad welds and soft steel. Im thinking of just scraping it and buying this one or the DR trencher. The DR one is American and not made out of CHEESE STEEL but its twice the price. In your view so far is this one going to hold up over many years or do you think it is also going to suffer from Chinese steel?
I have not had it very long. I will say they have solved alot of the Harbor freight complaints. I have another video talking about some of the differences between them. I don't think i am in love with then engine but that can be replaced easily. But there is nowhere i can say they skimmed on the steel. If there is some parts or place you would like to see better let me know and i can make a video showing more of it.
My HF bucket broke too. I ordered another one and added reinforcement steel/welds to it, that beefed it up a great deal. I just ordered and received another bucket. I cut the teeth off so I could use it to dredge ditches and uncover my septic tank when it's time to service. When I ordered mine I also ordered extra pins, filters and I got a couple extra cylinders...I'd rather have them on hand and ready to use. I would rather have the 2 joystick option though. Are the hose fittings on this machine SAE or metric?
@@alittlewayssouth4073 was the shipping on the parts quick. And ill have to try and rember and take a look i don't rember which they are.
@@chickenhawkfarmstead8478 Yes actually. I got the bucket in about a week. That's fast for HF.
Looks like it's got tabs for a thumb does the seller offer one for it?
Yes they do I ment to select that option when i bought it but forgot. Ill got it in the future.
Did you ever replace the engine on that thing cuz it sounds like a two-cycle engine.
Also did you finally get that thing down pat so you didn't have to have a rodeo ride in the seat? 🤣🤣
Nope, the engine is still running well. But yes, it is loud, especially because you sit right up on it. And yes, it didn't take long to learn the remotes, but if you're not careful, you can go for a ride
I've heard that the delivery drivers who deliver the harbor freight trencher are very rude and hard to deal with... How about the delivery drivers for this item? I'm thinking of purchasing one but I don't have any way of unloading it.. Can you give me an info on how a person would get it unloaded in my situation? Do they have a way of unloading it for the buyer? and how much extra would they charge?
They use FedEx freight and u went to the local hub and they loaded ut in my trailer with a fork lift. If you don't have a way to unload it off the truck you can pay extra and get lift gate service. I believe thats about 250-300 its on the website as a option.
They have a fedex lift gate service option on the website when you order it. I think it was like $150.00 or less. Totally worth it for me. The driver was polite, and even backed the truck all the way up my long gravel driveway. I didn't have to touch anything till it was safe on the ground.
Do they sell different buckets?
They accidentally sent me a twelve inch and a eight both so I would say that you sell additional buckets but you probably have to call because I haven't Seen it on the website
How much did it cost out the door
When I got mine around 2 years ago it was only $3200 but the price on the site is now $5050 but that price should include shipping and taxes. When I got mine the price on the page was all I pay I payed shipping and taxes where already include. I really wish thay would add that to the description on the page.
Como. Puedo. Con. Prauna
Need a gigantic sand box!
No I would have flash backs lol to Iraq or the play ground eather way not fun. But for really this thing is great so far.
Cute daughter. Thanks for the video. Helps out when deciding on things.
Thank you and glad it helped some.
What was the total cost?
$3198 free shipping and taxes where already included. Got it 9 days after placing the order.
@@chickenhawkfarmstead8478 They gave me a different price about a week ago, it was $3328
If you sign up for there email list you get a 80$ off code at least i did
@@chickenhawkfarmstead8478 I've been thinking about getting one, I'll use that code, thanks so much, enjoyed your video.
This thing looks like it's no better made than the harbor freight one. I considered buying the latter a while back. Glad I didn't. Too many bad reviews. They look as if they will fall apart right out of the crate. And not one video I watched didn't show one all beat up right in the crate. No thanks.
Mine is still working great but I do understand its not the cheapest purchase especially when you can't see it in person first.
