1-Month Mini Excavator AGT QH12 Test

[@The.NotHere]

Never actually heard a trailer scream "STOP" so loudly before in my life, but great video showing what can be done with those little excavators

[@jjuggernaut3218]

One of the best mini EX videos I’ve seen! Wide range of work. No fluff (“hey guys! It’s Sammy here with spank my farm, and today my husbands ex wife needs me to talk about some things before you watch me push leaves around in the woods!!!”) which annoys me to no end. Even the music was good! Hope to see more videos!

[@Blackwataa]

Bought the 13 model with a cab about a month ago. Very pleased with it. Check every bolt in these machines, especially the swing motor and lock tight em. Changing the fluids with a quality fluid really seems to smooth the hydraulic controls. Happy digging and best to you guys

[@noahridge8189]

How do you like the cab? Does it get stuffy/hot? Please if you can provide some details

[@Blackwataa]

@noahridge8189 got mine late fall, so I haven't been through the summer yet. I removed the door first day, added a 10 inch radiator fan to pull air through the engine compartment and it creates a vacuum effect from the cab. So my thoughts are if there's a vacuum, no heat from the engine will enter 🤔 Time'll tell. 50 hrs in with no issues Checking in at 100 hrs, regular maintenance and no issues

[@elijon8954]

Been on the fence about buying one of these since ive seen it on facebook market last night. Was up super late looking into them... welp this video sold me. Thank you for actually doing a real reveiw with real work showinging its true capability!!

[@CerebralAilment]

I'd have one if I had the money - it was a super handy little machine. Hearing people are getting them at the auction for $3200-$4000 w/fees makes me jealous.

[@elijon8954]

@CerebralAilment yeah I'm also jealous of the people getting them for 4k I'm looking at about 5500 for a new h15 with piolit controls and a hydrolic thumb which I don't think is all that bad

[@elijon8954]

I went ahead and ordered the h15 should be here next week sometime. Total cost from agt was 5099. Not to bad if you ask me but we will see when I actually get it

[@scottshugdinis2660]

I've never seen anyone operate one of those minis as smoothly as you. You make it look easy. Every one else is herky jerky. Great graphics and lights too!

[@CerebralAilment]

Its prob the 340lb counter weight 😅

[@scottshugdinis2660]

@@CerebralAilment Haha. No. Like you said. You do two things at once to make it run smoothly.

[@hairyspeakerz3161]

​@@scottshugdinis2660thats how its supposed to be when excavating

[@mr.potatohead5670]

Your buddy definitely has to appreciate using the heat gun and doing the wires right instead of slapping a roll of tape on it and calling it good. Great video.

[@Ron_Presley]

Big job doing that drain job and bet you saved them tons. 😊

[@joshyoung]

This is the best Chinese mini ex video I’ve seen with examples of what all it can do

[@kerrybowden9097]

Surprising what that Chinese Mini excavator can do. You made it look easy... Great video. As you sped up the video, i thought I was watching Andrew Camarato working...

[@450rhino1]

Put a block, of wood, 6x6 under the back of your trailer when you load and unload. Will save you from bending the trailer. Great video.

[@dpdiver1]

One of the better videos of one of these actually doing work. Thanks

[@MrWolfrose]

Very good video man. Been looking into these for a while, but haven’t found any good videos of someone using it for several actual practical job applications. Very useful video. Thx.

[@bobbruin44]

Go for it Justin. You found your niche. Good to see you happy helping people. Peace

[@thatoneguy6725]

I don’t wanna get back in that trench, immediately throws his buddy down there haha

[@soulis1000]

Great job with the lights, turned out great.

[@Ron_Presley]

Beautiful puppy ❤🐕❤️ Cool machine and bet it’s a blast. Awesome idea on the lights .Loved your great video guy.

[@lordspam2721]

Thanks for showing you doing different tasks with it.

[@GMans-World]

Great update on these Chinese excavators, thanks Justin

[@rhinowrecker3544]

👍 I have the same model in orange, 30hrs no problems yet. Those lights you put on are sweet!

[@danielruta8769]

Have not seen you in awhile. Good to see your back.

[@skywatcherranchswr]

What an awesome video, lots of different clips in one video. Great to see someone getting good use out of it. They're great machines!

[@ChazzyB-2024]

At 10:00 I think that is the dreaded Japanese knotweed. Digging it out will help, then burn it as soon as it reappears (and it will). The grass sowing and mowing idea should work too, but burning is better. After a few years of that it should give up! Otherwise it looks like you are in danger of becoming a serious working dude? I know you are a hard working guy, but you know what I mean, I hope! Your Camarata merch stylings are great. And sorting your mom's car situation out, Awesome.

[@nekbiodieselworks]

I just bought one of these yesterday. Good to see that I made a good choice.

[@CerebralAilment]

Awesome - I just subbed look forward to seeing some videos. I really enjoyed this thing while I had it. Local auction here it seems they were going for around 4k with fees this past weekend. What did you end up paying for yours?

[@nekbiodieselworks]

@@CerebralAilment I paid 5200 ater sales tax. I started digging my daughters foundation for her little house today. seems to be pretty good. Shakes the hell out of you though. I have to wear a back brace when using it just to support me a little better. I havent made any youtube videos in many years but I should probably start again.

[@belowfray5251]

Lol, good video. Broke his machine in for him.

[@CerebralAilment]

That's what he wanted

[@JimsEquipmentShed]

I kinda want one, but I have a K008-3, so I really don't need the same sized machine...... but yea, love the toys. Great job getting the scrubs out, it looks easier on TV....... I did one a few months back that was growing into the foundation. That was fun......

[@OneBadBuick]

Nice machine, I picked up a 1.5 ton Infront YFE15. Runs nice just very small.

[@kirbysmith8236]

You and Andrew are the the same. Y’all would make excellent business partners in construction along with Dumpster Dave.

[@joaquinaguilar5942]

Pays for itself in two good projects. 👍

[@BrorAppelsin]

Pretty nice performance for the price. But definitely not for someone who needs things to just work with standard service and maintenance.

[@elvisyan3374]

Good to see people putting this kinda the Chinese mini excavator to work. I have one too.

[@ocd7036]

Great video thanks for making it

[@lindacook891]

I’m loving the yard trailer connected to the track ho, you are a genius!

[@tomd864]

Well done video!

[@xj1716]

These units are great I'm sure until you hit rocks.... out west, we have nothing but rock. I don't see how it would work out here. You need more digging force. Very cool video.

[@jodybethkinjorski9030]

Nice video, have same issues with mine. I purchased new tension pully assbly 150.00. Was able to rebuild old one with timken bearings 6205zz. I submitted see how channel is thanks.

[@elir6565]

“Theres definately metal in there” proceeds to not give a f**k

[@CerebralAilment]

Haha it was expected tbh. Still going strong over 100hrs on it.

[@Ron_Presley]

Does that black garden trailer have flat free tires on it? I have the same type and the tires that came on it blew hauling bricks on my property so was thinking of flat free ones but thought they might be too hard. I’m just at where you were fixing the wheel on it but those tires look like they sure holding up and have nice tread.

[@thomaslaprade9620]

The cog is like that only when track is loose ,keep a bit tighter

[@CerebralAilment]

Nah that bearing was blown out bad - It got double bearings this time around and better quality!

[@cinkoxid]

amazing, i feel like i'm wathing a game where you do missions :D nice job

[@ZGGordan]

I like watching videos like this with small jobs, something like AC 5 years ago. I find it more interesting than big jobs. Thanks for filming!

[@roverdogs_keithwhelchel]

Wait your in Maine??? If so I would love to check it out as I am thinking of the same thing to buy

[@CerebralAilment]

Yeah! There is a place in Windham that sells em locally called leavitt equipment sales. Another buddy bought his QH12 there and he loves it!

[@belowfray5251]

That's a deeeep drain, wow.

[@droidian]

I'm still a NO on this. Still surprised that Andrew backed these minis from overseas. Pretty good coverage ... almost got it. Keep workin'. tx 4 the vid.

[@antwarior]

I'm just at shocked how much these chinese minivators can do, think im gonna purchase one once my business get off the ground

[@CerebralAilment]

What does your business do?

[@kieranosullivan02]

French drain was a pretty big job for that machine tbf

[@marktype1with2]

I have the same trailer and was wondering it it would be able to haul a mini.

[@CerebralAilment]

Works good all three trailers I used. Hauling something small is nice

[@saabturboguy]

use the spade at the back stability so much better

[@darrellsmith5395]

Box the angle iron on the gate and thank yourself later, simply with a cheap 110 fluxcore welder

[@MrPajamaman40]

I wonder whats the difference between qh12 an qh12r 🤔 12 yards noway 18... maybe 15 maybe

[@MrPhotodoc]

Tool is only as good as the operator, in this case looks pretty good.

[@danielruta8769]

Shouldn't it say Leggo on the side

[@kender1412]

I'm trying to figure out why you went that deep for a French drain. WAY overkill.

[@CerebralAilment]

Help with the basement flooding

[@dennisthecarver]

cool

[@Dalton791000]

Glad it worked for ya.

[@kenputer56]

it is Knotweed, Japanese and is eatable the fresh shoots

[@rezzyredskin]

If this makes it to next year Letsgo

[@roberthillyard4234]

that had been me i have to put fire out cant stand smock

[@doshis]

Those of you that have one, where did you buy it from?

[@CerebralAilment]

This one was purchased through agrotkindustrial.com/

[@davejames2015]

Definitely not 18 yards

[@Infinityboi1000]

Get a hydraulic thumb

[@Jkush463]

do you think one of these would supplement a skid steer or just buy a backhoe attachment for my skid steer? i cant decide.

[@CerebralAilment]

What would you be doing mostly? Also what skidsteer

[@jessedaiute1686]

All that then the Tonka sticker is crooked
