Alibaba Chinese Mini Excavator & A Bank Side Car Space ⛏️

Hi all and welcome back to another video with the chinese excavator digging out a customer bank side for a car parking spot.
I aint going too much into detail in the description but just sit back and watch the video.
The chinese mini digger is working great not thanks to me and i made it do some fairly extreme movements with the machine that it is not really designed to do so.
Anything extra you guys would like to know then just hit me up in the comments or email me at [e-mail]
Thank you for watching everyone

You did a great job with that little machine, it really is a nice compact machine me, also smart operating, good work , take good care👍👍

[@everydaywithmenick]

Thabk you Evan, I appreciate your kind words. To think the first time I got on it, it was like a mechanical bull being rode. Now we have tamed the beast 😄 Thank you as always buddy 👍

[@bsteleven]

looks like to much fun. I'm jealous!

[@everydaywithmenick]

😄 it's not always fun buddy. Sometimes it can be quite stressful making sure things are right and safe. Thank you for commenting 👍

[@BigelowWoodcraft]

You did a lot with that mini x. I was a little worried a couple of times. Great work operating it. The finale results looked great. I'm always looking for a mini x to add to the arsenal.

[@everydaywithmenick]

Jerry, there were times I thought the job was either not get done or the machine would tip over. But I stuck to my experience and my numb head and battled on. It did great and I was super happy once I'd finished it. Even the customer said to me, I can't believe that little machine did all that. In my mind I was kind of the same. Have you much work on your spot for a mini ex ? Since coming out of lockdown there has been loads coming through on marketplace. Thank you as ever buddy, your a great supporter 👍

[@BigelowWoodcraft]

@@everydaywithmenick I would have all kinds of work for one. I do see them all the time on market place. But not yet in my KZbin price range lol.

[@everydaywithmenick]

@JerryBomay I like your youtube budget range 🤣 I too have them budgets but don't always stick to them.

40" bucket?

[@jefftibble766]

I thought the mini ex may have met it's match but nice job at the controls.

[@everydaywithmenick]

hey Jeff and thanks for commenting. You know i thought at times that the machine was not going to do the job but it surprised me in so many way and we managed to get the job done for the fella. He was happy with it and so was i, well more so that i didnt fall off the machine or tip it 🤣 Thank you again buddy 👍

[@qanthon41]

How long can you use that machine on a day like this?

[@everydaywithmenick]

hi buddy and thank you for commenting. The machine will last all day and its very fuel efficient too but the noise is something else. Its not very ear friendly at all. hope this helps buddy 👍

[@qanthon41]

@@everydaywithmenick I just got my Machine a 1.3 ton rippa with a kubota diesel engine and some attachments I haven’t used it yet but hope to soon when I get my small business going agai.

Thanks a lot Nick, I didn't realize I needed a mini excavator until I started watching what you do with yours....now I can't stop thinking about it!!

[@everydaywithmenick]

😄 it's funny how many people have said that. It's been a really good tool to have and has done many jobs for me. You will be looking for one now. Thank you for commenting 👍

[@tracy419]

Me too. I've been binge watching these videos the past week and now I'm trying to talk my wife into buying a house down the road with a little bit of land so I can have an excuse to get one of these for myself 😂

[@OlesMusic]

Hey, Nick. I also have a 1-tonn mini, and I do the same style of jobs as you do here. I was wondering what do you take for a job like this?

[@everydaywithmenick]

Hey buddy 👋 thank you for commenting. If you'd like to email me at [e-mail] I'll be more than happy to discuss costing etc. Is yours a Chinese machine also ? Thanks again buddy 👍

[@OlesMusic]

@@everydaywithmenick yes, I bought a Nuoman e10, looks very similar to yours.

Hello buddy 👋

[@jonathanmckee4667]

How many hours on the digger now nick

[@everydaywithmenick]

Hey buddy and thank you for commenting. Regarding hours on the machine, i think it is on only about 200 hours. Ive got a lot of work coming up with it soon and that will almost add another 50 to 60 hours easy. Its going ok, just really hate the engine that is in the machine. Thank you for commenting 👍

[@jonathanmckee4667]

@@everydaywithmenick you ever think off putting in a 2 cylinder des engine

[@everydaywithmenick]

@@jonathanmckee4667 I have but I've heard that they aren't any quieter or smoother. Was thinking about putting a petrol motor in it instead.

[@jtsokiehobbyandadventures6666]

Why don't you have teeth. Need a ripper tooth for roots.

[@everydaywithmenick]

Hey and thank you for commenting 👍 I left the teeth off because of uncertainty of what was underneath the ground to be excavated. There was rumoured a pipe but fortunately I didn't find nor hit one. Yes whilst excavating the tree and roots the teeth on or even a Ripper tooth would help but I wasn't messing on anymore than I needed to 😆

[@Drew_peaballs_128]

Nice job nick! Goes to show it’s not the machine but the operator! What a beautiful property they have there!

[@everydaywithmenick]

Thank you very much Dan, I appreciate your comment. I've seen operators make much much older machines dance and perform amazing so I couldnt agree more with you. Yes they truly have a lovely place there. Thabk you again 👍

[@Drew_peaballs_128]

@@everydaywithmenick ps that single cylinder Diesel engine would be so annoying to listen to all day haha

[@everydaywithmenick]

@@Drew_peaballs_128 your not wrong there. I don't like it at all. I've been thinking of putting a transplant kubota diesel engine in it instead.

[@timbanwell1756]

A great spot and top soil. Never thought the little digger would manage but great results

[@everydaywithmenick]

Hey buddy and thank you for commenting 👍 You and me both, I got there and started talking to the customer and what he wanted and I thought I'll never get this done in a month of Sundays but I tightened my belt and got on with it 😄 Thank you again buddy 👍

[@anthonyfindlay466]

Good job Nick, but next time dig with your blade in front of you cheers.

[@everydaywithmenick]

Thank you buddy, I generally do and I'm sure I did throughout most of this dig. There's not many times I have the blade out the rear. I never feel as though it does anything, also I needed blade out front to get me leveled up in some cases. Thank you again buddy 👍

[@anthonyfindlay466]

@@everydaywithmenick Hope in the future you could afford a little bigger machine you'll do even better, blessings.

[@everydaywithmenick]

@anthonyfindlay466 one day I hope that to be the case also. A little bigger machine would be ideal for bigger jobs. Thank you again 👍

[@markjones8437]

Nick - Nice to see the digger back in action. Great work !

[@everydaywithmenick]

Thank you Mark, it is nice when the digger comes out to play. Hopefully it be coming out again soon. Thank you for commenting 👍

[@davejaguar6532]

Those stone walls and buildings are lovely. You blokes have got some beaut rural architecture over there in Pomgolia. The little digger did well and it just goes to show that even though they are a bit small they'll still do most things asked of them. Do you find it more comfortable to operate with the levers re-orientated more towards you? On my 1.2 tonner I used an oxy to heat and bend my sticks so that they lean towards me allowing me to sit back in my seat when digging, best thing I did on my machine since it allows me to make more precise movements of the sticks now that I'm in a relaxed position rather than having to lean forwards all the time.

[@everydaywithmenick]

Hey Dave 👋 thank you. Yes the country side all over the UK is laden with sandstone built walls and buildings. Even the boundaries between the fields are all built using dry stone wall techniques. The controls are slightly better being turned. The controls are uncomfortable for a full day's operation on the machine I must admit. The only problem I have sometimes is that I knock the tracking levers with certain movements and the tracks can me turning without my knowledge. So yeah, next machine I get will have pilot controls for sure 🤣 Thank you for commenting buddy 👍

[@davejaguar6532]

@@everydaywithmenick Yeah that's why I heat bent my sticks rearward rather than turning them (which I did try first), I wanted to make sure I didn't hit the travel levers with them or bang my hands together when hard curl and fast slew right at the same time (rare as that combo is). Heat bending steel tube is a slow and delicate process but on mine it was well worth it.

[@everydaywithmenick]

@davejaguar6532 thanks bud, I think I may have to put them back in their original position and heat bend mine as to a comfortable position also. Thank you for your advice buddy 👍

[@Meldelkel]

Great to see you do such skilled work and show what can be done with time and patience. Whats the hours on your digger now? Well done

[@everydaywithmenick]

Thabk you, I appreciate your kind words. I will have to check on the machine but I think it's about 180 or 190. The machine has not been used as much so far this year as the sawmill has been going crackers. I will check and get back to you though. The machine is running good though at the moment.
