Did you ceramic coat your machine? Or just clean it consistently? I recently picked up a 33, and am a little OCD about keeping it clean and presentable.
@NKLandscapingLLC 6 күн бұрын
I absolutely DESPISE a nasty greasy machine. I try my best to keep the machine clean, but with how much we work near trees, it gets covered back up again with grease constantly. I just use a rag, and a bucket of diesel fuel and clean the greasy areas. After that I'll do a pressure wash and then wash with car wash soap. I've never ceramic coated or waxed it.

Did not expect them to be that "inexpensive". Thanks for the review, seems like a good buy for the price. Check out the Mini Dumper from Groundhog Equipment. It's $7,000... Probably a little nicer to use, but almost 3 times the price. I'm not sure on the subject.
@NKLandscapingLLC 19 күн бұрын
Yes, surprisingly the Yardmax machine are quite affordable! There are a few brands of larger dumpers that we have looked into. Our main “wants” with a larger machine are: hydraulic dump, hydrostatic drive, a rider platform and the ability to turn the dump to the sides. Unfortunately all of those options drive the price up to some crazy numbers. Maybe one day!

I'm going back/forth between the 033 and 040 do you think I'd be giving up too much by going with the 033? Also did you need to have extra plumbing done for that attachment?
@NKLandscapingLLC 19 күн бұрын
I personally think the 040 is a strange size. The only reason I would go with a 040 over a 033 would be if you needed to have much higher hydraulic flow for running something like a brush cutter. Otherwise, the 040 is not a big enough jump to warrant the extra cost, and extra complexity of a turbocharged diesel with emissions. I love the 033 and think it is very capable.

Cannot keep the thumb. Once you have the gripper and grapple, you never need the thumb anyways. Cost was just under $30k in January of 2022, not including any buckets or attachments.
