I live in South Central Indiana and have a lot of cool things on my wooded and very hilly property been really thinking of incorporateing some steps here and there . Only one problem just one I'm in my 70s . But one thing I definitely have is time . I'm thinking wood or Limestone there's an abundance of limestone quarrys and you can get the stone for next to nothing . But the drawback for me is the weight but it will likely last for years .

No thumb? even a fixed thumb would be a great addition.

You could secure it much better with a chain around the body of the excavator and tied to your fork frame…or you could position the forks between the tracks and the body and carry it that way, although I’m not sure if thats good for the body of the excavator

Put your blade in the back of your excavator that way when you did, you won’t pick up the machine
@ronsmith443423 күн бұрын
Put the blade behind you when digging. Gives you more digging power.

I did a similar thing recently. A military folding entrenchment tool (Fiskars makes a great one), is much easier on the back and faster than a pick. Only need a pick for breaking stones.

See it has eyelets for a stationary claw to pin in, the small cotrol on your left that runs to the line with a quick connect is actually for running the claw that would pinch all your rift raft materials against the bucket. All the controls are regular as a big piece of equipment. After running kill the machine and just turn the to on position eith out cranking, see if your able to grab any or all joysticks and move one way or the other to drain pressure of the hydraulics. If you frain the hydraulics and take loose a hydraulic line forceably , you'll have problems trying to connect the female and male fittings back together, the female ball valve side will hold pressure if it's forced off before depressurizing.

we got one of these excavators and for a year so far has worked out very well. you get about 2 1/2 hours of run time from a tank of gas 2.5 gallons and can get some fairly heavy work done

How do you handle the heat of the engine on the seat? No biggie if you operating for 30 mins at a time. 1+ hour and that engine bay and seat make it near impossible to sit on. I like they are gas engines (easy to maintain), but agree, the speed and gearing for mobility is less than desirable. PS you are gonna want to invest in that trailer lol. Any idea how much more for a thumb on them?
@badcanyon2 ай бұрын
Mine came with a bolt-on thumb. Not sure how much a hydraulic thumb attachment is. I take the thumb off while digging because it gets in the way a little.

@@NikkisHoney89 The j-hook rebar looks like a cool approach. I assume you'd have it wrap around the top of the boards. Certainly seems like that'd hold the boards in place.
