@@drzflyest4 this is a cumhurtech liebherr 736 dozer. Premacon also makes one as well.

@@drzflyest4 check out the mother rc construction on Facebook. The excavator is made by them in Italy.

@@minidiggin i want the sorting system

@@drzflyest4 look up the hydraulic hobbies turbo trommel

Thank you! Yes you and I both used to lay in bed dreaming about these. I always wished my Tonya truck and loader were RC. Thanks for watching!

The ADT is 1/14. The excavator I believe is also 1/14 (but could be somewhere in between 1/14-1/13)

I 100% agree about the gear noise. I mentioned that to Paolo but he assured me it’s normal. And like you mentioned no other videos of the 973K to compare it to unfortunately. I am having another issue that is probably evident in my videos if you look for it and that is in reverse one track will not engage unless you move the stick input forward and backwards quickly. It’s also quite frustrating. Paolo is obviously willing to help me identify the issue but it requires tearing into the machine which I’m not quite ready to do yet. As far as pricing goes I unfortunately can’t answer that one either as I traded Paolo my old cumhurtech Volvo 355 excavator and attachments for it. You might reach out to him again for a build sheet with pricing. Other than the reverse issue and the gearbox noise it’s a tank of a loader and very capable. I love it.

@@minidiggin Thanks for the quick reply! I will contact Paolo about the price. Just thought it would be quicker asking you. Paolo gets very busy sometime He implied the machine would be in the same price range as his excavator but that number is also unknown to me.!! Sometimes these builders don't like to give a price until they"re pretty sure they have a sale but there is no way I would spend this much money without seeing and hearing it run. Your videos show that the model is louder than I think it should be but maybe if you put a good sound system in it, the gear noise would be less noticable? Someone else will post another video of it so you will be able to compare noise levels. Normal doesn't mean it's good normal. Hurts the realism but maybe I could get used to it? I'll be curious also. Another option now is the Lesu 973 which looks good on the detail but is about half the weight so it won't push dirt like your 973. You can buy the Lesu in a kit or ready to run. Around $3300 for a kit and obviously more for a RTR. Don't know what I'll do. Tried to buy a used ScaleArt 963B a couple of years ago on Ebay for $3200 but it turned out to be a scam so I lost the full amount. Ebay said because I used a Bank of America wire transfer, they wouldn't cover the loss. That was a big hit to take!! I guess I was very naive . In my world , I think people will be honest but obviously I was wrong. Expensive lesson. Won't do that again!!!! Lastly, you stated that you were in Missouri somewhere. My family lived in University City and Clayton in the 50's before we moved to SF Bay area. Wish we had stayed in St Louis. Great Zoo and Forest Park.

@@carterprovo1096 awesome! Yes I’m out west of St Louis near OFallon. Very sorry to hear about the SCAM that infuriates me, especially because it was such a big dollar amount and no recourse from eBay! I have seen the new LESU track loader and like you said pretty small in weight compared to the Mother. I can honestly say my experience with Paolo has been top notch and the equipment he builds is far better (IMO) than most of the other stuff on the market. My preference for this hobby is actually moving dirt, which both the mother machines do very very well. Obviously they aren’t up to par with the German machines for scale realism either aesthetics but again, that’s not necessarily my thing. I just want to move dirt :) anyways I really appreciate you watching. I can also reach out to Paolo and see if he will respond quickly about pricing.

Thank you for the sub! My dad and grandfather were also homebuilders here in Missouri where I’m from. I can’t claim my landscaping with these machines is great but glad you enjoy watching!

I would check out Prive RC I’ve dealt with the owner Bryce before who is very fair and should be able to get you a good price!

@@minidiggin Thank you so much i appreciated.! Yeah i have some loaders like JDM 870k xdrc wa470 I Told myself i should try wedico

Hi there thanks for watching! If you look up “The Mother RC Construction” on Facebook, this is where you can buy from. I don’t remember the pricing off hand, but Paolo, who owns the company will send a pricing sheet. I actually traded him an excavator for this track loader so I never discussed pricing. Happy digging my friend!

Thank you. Yeah it’s in dire need of an overhaul, mainly just to fix the leaks, but at the same time the leaks do kind of give it an overall realism effect. So we’ll see. For now it’s still a great machine. Has held up better than I thought it would, and better than the fumotec d71.

Sure thing! I’m hoping for some nice weather this weekend and may have a chance to get them out, if so I’ll take some pics and a vid side by side.

Thank you - would really appreciate seeing side by side to size comparison

Yeah I wound up selling the fumotec. In fact I should probably do a follow up to my comparison video between the two machines. I don’t want to knock the fumotec because it is a great machine, but the reality for me is that the fumotec blade popped out of the ball bearing within a few days of operating it, in pretty easy conditions. This cumhurtech I have never had an issue with other than the leaks on the blade cylinders, which so far I’m just living with. Will get fixed someday soon. So the cumhurtech stayed and the fumotec was sold

@@minidiggin Ah ok, kind of makes sense. Did you speak to Cumhur about the leaky rams?

Yeah I guess it depends. For me I’m not so much concerned over appearance, especially interior. I know some people want that though. For me it’s about performance and how well it digs :)

Hi @spiggen1 yes, I actually ended up trading it for the cat 973K track loader I have now. Thanks for watching!

@@minidiggin ah ok, the Mother is a real beast and good quality 😀 what’s your experience from the Volvo excavator ?

@spiggen1 I was not a big fan. Had some issues with the turn table. It looked great, but just didn’t have a lot of power and reliability scared me.

@@minidiggin ok, I thought the problem was the first Volvo but you had same issues with the new one you got? I’m interested in a compact excavator and don’t know yet which one is best on the market, if you have any tips I’m thankful, Thanks

Yeah the turn table issue was with the first one. The 2nd one didn’t have any issues, but it was just too small for me and my style of digging. I worried about reliability with it as well. These two mother machines are just built so much better in my opinion and will last.

I think it’s 1/14.5 scale technically. ~65 lbs.

Haha! Sorry for the lack of content lately. It’s winter here and too cold to dig unfortunately. I’ll be back in a few months though with some new content!

Hey there, look up the mother RC Construction on Facebook. They make this loader and the PC 700 excavator in my videos as well. Paolo is the builder, I highly recommend.

Hey there, this was a looong time ago but I want to say it was iso 46.

Hey @spiggen1018. Thanks for watching. As for pros and cons of the mother, honestly the only con I can think of is the weight, it’s a bit heavy for carrying around at like 95 lbs I think. Otherwise though I have no complaints. It’s a very strong and reliable machine that digs very well. I had one valve block servo go out on my old green mother and one go out on my new(used) yellow one that I have now. These were pretty easy to replace and Paolo who makes the Mother machines is very great to work with. I also had a turntable pin go out on the older green mother which was very easy to replace as well. It was kind of like a shear pin to prevent other things from breaking. Overall it’s an amazing machine that I think it probably the best 1/14 excavator for digging.

@@minidiggin thanks for sharing your feedback, I've also got a good impression of The Mother/Paolo and watched videos and all customers seems very happy, Paolo seem to be a very good engineer and build strong and detailed machines, I'll also order a PC700 soon :)

I agree. One of if not the favorite for me to operate.

Are you asking to see the controllers I use for these machines or wanting to see the controller operation as I’m using the machines?

@@minidiggin yesss bro

And I want clearly

"yesss bro" isn't an answer to a question that asks specifics of whether you want to see the controllers, or see the controller inputs from me using them, bro. :) @thechandresh5985

:D Nice Machines. Is that PC700 a unicat or what brand? Got the same Volvo Truck. its awesome and very reliable. @@minidiggin

It’s a 4S 9000 mah lipo. A little too big as you can see in the video, can’t put the panel on. But 1 hr+ runtime which is nice.

I had trouble finding a 4s that will fit so I have been using a 10900 3s seems to work just fine and is good for about an hour @@minidiggin

Nice I used to have some 7600 mah 4S lipos that fit perfect. Will probably get a few eventually.

Thanks! Yeah all RC digging here. Hydraulic machines most are 1/14th scale. I used to run full size stuff years ago and miss it, this is as close to the real thing as I can get 😂

Hey Jeff. I would talk to @bbrcequipment1645 on KZbin. His name is Bruce, he’s also in the 970 9700 RC excavator group on Facebook. Very knowledgeable and should be able to help. Unfortunately I no longer own this machine and am not very knowledgeable on the electronics.

Which machine are you referring to?

D71 😉

@vb78150 well you can take that up with Frank from Fumotec as that’s the way it shipped from the manufacturer ;) I no longer own that d71 anyways. Great machine, but too small and lightweight.

​@@minidigginwhats your preferred dozer these days?

@@drzflyest4 I should do a follow up video :) not long after I did this comparison the fumotec blade popped out of the ball joint that the blade mounts to. I wound up selling the fumotec as for me and my style of digging I could tell it wasn’t going to hold up. I’m still rolling with the cumhurtech and honestly outside of a blade hydraulic line that is leaking it’s been a super reliable machine that I can say I’m glad I still own.

Thank you @rcchbuilds!

Traded it off awhile back for the cumhurtech Volvo ecr355 excavator

Thanks yeah I should have kept the GoPro I had, using strictly my phone now, will try and find a body or chest mount that will work. Thanks for watching and for the feedback!

I wish I did but unfortunately I’m not great when it comes to modding or working on these machines, sorry.

Hey Dennis - good question. A hydraulic quick connect would not be possible with the default configuration bc it only has two valves. But I’m sure Paolo could probably set one up. I would reach out to him on Facebook, @themotherecconstruction

Hey @jonnyteeee I’m assuming you mean how do I like the mother track loader? If so it’s been great. It weighs as much as or maybe a little more than the dxr2 dozer and has some great digging power. Time will tell if it’s reliability, but if it’s like the PC 700 excavator it should be great! Overall very happy with it.
