I'm taking delivery of a Chinese Mini Excavator tomorrow and as I have zero experience of working such equipment my recent KZbin watching has been lots and lots of excavator videos. This one is my favourite - absolutely stunning viewing! Liked and Subscribed.😀

[@KB-ki7um]

Great example of how a skilled operator makes all the difference! Welcome guys!

[@cat637d]

What a neat pair of machines for close quarters work! Great project video. Thank you for sharing the good work.

[@zedman442]

The old timer on the digger is gold. Great work

[@gulftoad]

this is better than 99.99% of the shows on TV. I have some projects to do at home, and I'm now inspired to rent a mini excavator and get 'er done.

[@englishwithqamar8327]

so are you satisfied with this sort mini excavator......if yes i would buy one for my company...what will be the price of this mimi excavator?

[@ericbarker3351]

@@englishwithqamar8327 You can get a decent second hand mini digger for about £ 5,000 if you know what you are looking for. Take a mechanic with you.

[@HorsleyLandy88]

You guys deserve a medal for completing that in such tight conditions

[@cliveclive9552]

Great videos love the old school people who just get on with it

[@Anonymouse13]

Excellent. Some skill there with added touch of ki dness and humour too. Cheers guys.

[@bitemex2]

Thank you for this video good to see what you can do in a small space.

[@trailsidecarpentryhandyman9378]

Thanks guys - this demo helped a bunch to show me how I can do a tight space excavator job

[@grantfell9245]

Great operator. Getting over the ditches shows great experience.

[@johnthegodfatherslack]

Grant Fell its nothing out of the ordinary mate. he is a decent operator though. digging on small jobs requires a bit of forward thinking otherwise you can leave yourself with problems (like getting your digger back out lol) he seemed to do ok though.

[@Squidbillies1000]

Excellent Job!

[@aaronmiller112]

good job and good video editing. Thanks for showing

[@cubleycat]

Awesome machines, I just wondered what the micro diggers could do and that's amazing how strong it is digging the rocky heavy clay like that. very good driving by the way!

[@bearwoodcarpentry]

Fun t watch ,good job.

[@JimsEquipmentShed]

Ha a construction Yorkie! I thought I had the only one. My greatly assists in the operation of the loader, and the excavator. And by greatly assists, I mean lays on my arm, making me work twice as hard with one arm. ;-) That was pretty amazing tight work you had there, I've got a k008-3 and I couldn't have done that job. The U series zero turn is really very handy.

[@ericbarker3351]

Sorry late to reply, It's a Roughneck skip loader. Can still be found on E Bay.

[@Bill37nj]

Pretty good machine operator, But to work with that clay soil sucks

Hi Mark, we only worked on a day rate supplying labour and machinery for this job and charged £.............. You can call, text or e mail me for the price ? Thanks, Eric.

[@timjansen83]

you should grease that kubota

[@johnthegodfatherslack]

Tim Jansen you should stop snagging. it was probably hired. who gives a shite? if the hire companies dont grease them then why should we?

[@ericbarker3351]

It gets greased every day, that's why this machine has lasted so long. It was 12 years old when this job was completed.

Your dog looks anxious because of the constant noise.

[@ericbarker3351]

She is used to it, she comes on every job. Better than leaving her on her own at home. She's usually got more room to run around, this was a small job.

[@Tonys_Podium]

Do you need a licence to operate a mini digger?

[@ashboy225]

+FIREHAWK1979 Nope

[@kls8874]

+Farmer Ash I though you needed a CPCS ticket?

[@ashboy225]

Its private land so you don't generally need a CPCS and I believe its a 10 tonner up which requires it

[@kls8874]

What about unloading and loading the vehicle or using the dumper on public path ? Thanks for quick reply

[@ashboy225]

Kyle S dumpers need them as it counts as plant machinery, you would need them for public foot paths

[@danielvarian7249]

I thought you might like we're professional but dose not look like it when u have no role bar on the mini digger... Daniel 🤔😑😕😱

[@ericbarker3351]

Daniel, thanks for your observation, but when self employed, we don't need to have roll bar. The risk is ours to take and besides, we wouldn't be able to operate in confined spaces with roll bar.
