Great to have you back!

[@DIYDemasi]

Thanks Woody! Good to be back and glad to see you back as well!

[@Grunt802VT]

Definitely the better choice going with the smaller one. Glad that worked out well for you. As always Keep on Keeping on! Semper Fi

[@DIYDemasi]

Thank you, Grunt!!! The smaller one had way more power than I expected!

Watch some of Andrew Cameratas older videos, he started with small machines and now he's worth millions. He has great videos. I like what you're doing. Keep it going. 👍

[@DIYDemasi]

Thanks Steven, I’ll have to take a look, thanks for the suggestion!

[@treestandmanoutdoors]

Nice machine! Can I drive it when I come out to visit? 😉

[@DIYDemasi]

Haha absolutely! It’s quite the fun experience!

[@deweybewey]

What was the price you got it for at auction if you don’t mined me asking? And is it still holding up? Looked at some videos trying to find it in your log cabin videos but no luck, I was skipping trying to find it

[@DIYDemasi]

It was a bit over 30k, it’s a risk for sure buying at auction, but so far has worked out great, couldn’t do half the stuff I’ve done without it.

The guy from Outdoors with the Morgans is s master operating this type of equipment! Watch him work using the thumb!!!

[@DIYDemasi]

Ok, Thanks for the suggestion!

I was wondering how do you go about filling up the excavator with diesel?

[@DIYDemasi]

Believe it or not, it take less than 5 gallons of diesel a day, I had been running most days on low setting and that gets me about 7 hours of run time on 5 gallons. So I just fill up a 5 gallon jug each morning at the station before I get there and it has worked out perfectly! Great question
