Probably a little late now but night want to make a weight you can grab and carry with the bucket if you're going to be doing a lot of blade work. It'll give you more down pressure on the blade.

I look forward to more videos of this excavator. I’m a homeowner with projects waiting on delivery of this same excavator but with a cab. Been searching for content to figure this thing out being new to excavators. Keep them coming 👍

That will be awesome having a cab. I will make a video going over the controls and the display options. Did you order it with the hydraulic thumb?

[@vtjpd]

@@diesellifetruckin yes on the thumb, heat/AC, 12” tooth bucket, 40” grading bucket, LED lights all around, and the long stick. More videos would be amazing. I begged for an early pdf of the manual to read up over the winter before deliver but got nothing.

@@vtjpd my thumb finally came in and it sure is a game changer. Mine has a 18” 3 tooth bucket, I might get a grading bucket in the future.

@@diesellifetruckin id love to see the process of greasing the house bearing and those three zerks when the time comes for you to do that. Also, did you add a passcode to start the machine. Would love to see that process explained. Dealer says once you add the dealer can only remove. I'd like that extra security since it's a generic key.

How you liking this thing!? I have an order on a bobcat E20 but just stumbled across these and I’m very interested

[@diesellifetruckin]

I have about 10 hours on it so far and it seems to be a good little machine plenty of power for what I’m doing. I haven’t used the skid steer controls much but it makes it nice for traveling and it has cruise control which is nice. Hopefully the hydraulic thumb comes in soon, I have a little job this week so we will see how it handles.

[@airpeewee]

whats the price on this machine? im just startin to look at diff models

[@diesellifetruckin]

I think it was like 36,000 with the hydraulic thumb and after tax

[@vtjpd]

$45k for cab with thumb, 18” dig bucket, led lights everywhere, long-stick, and grading bucket (30-something inches).
