I bought a QH12. I had to remove the canopy so it would fit in my garage. A matter of just TWO INCHES! I've ordered the hydraulic thumb kit and cooling fans for the engine compartment.
@bigtxbullion3 ай бұрын
Same. Canopy was just too tall and really didnt help in the tight areas I work, much less to tall to keep in any of my enclosed/covered spots. Candidly, they only marginally with ballast and if sun is directly overhead. Definitely not roll cage quality.

Just bought a FF12 and the auxiliary hydraulic lines are 1 size larger than the rest of them and being metric I was trying to figure out what size I needed for the fittings and this video "learnt" me what I needed to know. Thank ya!

@@helpallofem4428 Alright! I'm getting my hoses custom made, so I'm assuming i would just get a 1/4 hose with an M16x1.5 female end to attach to the aux line?
@helpallofem44282 ай бұрын
@@dillaskew yes. That is what mine are. some of the machines I have seen have 14x1.5 fittings where all the hoses are the same diameter. If your auxiliary lines are larger diameter than your cylinder lines then that is what you have also. So one end will have to be 16x1.5 for the aux fittings and the other end of the hoses will have to have whatever size your implements have which is most likely going to be 14x1.5

Hi awesome vid good information on Chinese excavators just one thing I have looked at groundhog excavators they are made in china yes but they have been upgraded hydraulics such as Parker pumps Easton drives but not sure about hose fittings please put out more mini excavator videos

Keep up the mini excavator videos! I just got the L12 at an auction in December. I’d like to see videos on zerks, changing fluids, early maintenance that should be done, how to be more efficient at operating, how to wrap a tarp around an outdoor stored unit, should I clip the corner on the tracks frame that rubs the track? How to store thumb, links to the best replacement parts. I imagine others will watch this content- these excavators almost require KZbin to maintain and understand. Basic equipment maintenance is called for as most people getting these are probably newer to equipment maintenance

Just picked up our little digger last night!! Understanding you’re not monetized on YT yet (I bet it will come quickly for you!) as watchers we can ask the world but it all costs money. So, things I have noticed that would be cool to know more about - 1: hydraulic thumb install, 2: is it possible to add additional counterweight 3: hydro oil cooler 4: do wider or metal tracks make a difference in stability 5: overall track and hydro system maintenance, 6: my fuel fill is under the seat, any way to make it faster to fuel up would be sweet.

@@woodsandroots3781 I just got a Hightop HT10BZ with extendable tracks. The wider tracks make a significant improvement in stability especially when working off the side like cleaning out ditches. I've never found a need to retract them again - I just leave them wide.

I haven’t gone through all the comments, but that same connection on the AGT H15 excavator is an M16x1.5. I should have measured first. Ended up paying $25 for two fittings, and $18 of that is shipping. Crazy how we get gouged on shipping costs nowadays. Now I have to order for (2) M16x1.5 to M14x1.5 for that connection.

Great video, Thank You! But... I just added a tranny cooler to my Rippa R319 and the Gates 18L fittings wouldn't fit on my machine. I added the cooler on the return line between the filter and the tank. The hose shop ended up cutting the Chinese fittings out of my old hose and reusing them in the new hoses for the cooler because they couldn't find any fittings that fit the Rippa filter housing or the hydraulic tank. I think they're supposed to be 18L fittings but for whatever reason, the Gates fittings are not compatible with the Chinese equipment (or at least my Rippa machine)..

Many people choose to adapt to JIC fittings, but most of the attachments you can buy for these already have the correct -8L DIN hose ends on them
