How to choose the right Chinese Mini Excavator: Weighting (Part 2 of 2) Gas-Powered Machines

[@denniselvy3528]

There is no right chinese rubbish digger

[@adachao5055]

It's not fair to talk about quality apart from price.

[@timfolgers2759]

Love that you guys are doing this video series, bringing a lot of transparency to the Chinese excavator market and helping new owners make an educated decision.

[@bisonequipment]

Thanks so much! That's exactly what we're aiming for - to give new owners the info they need to make the right choice. Stay tuned for more videos, we’ve got a lot of comparisons coming up!

Already have a Rippa R319 but I want to buy one with swing boom so i can dig better near walls. The one in your video has interesting boom with the cylinder on top. I have not seen this offered to me. Do i need to ask separate to get both swing boom and boom with cylinder on top? It seems safer for digging, not sure if it's as strong as standard boom. Also can you tell me what lever is for swing boom? I also have 4 levers and 2 pedals, it would need one more to work correctly right?

Thanks for posting these videos! Really helpful info 😊👍

[@bisonequipment]

Thanks, Mike! I really appreciate the feedback 😊👍. Glad you found the videos helpful! Your videos are great too-looking forward to more projects you've done.

[@HellTriX]

which would be better, NKL NW-18plus or FF Industrial FF-15?

[@Stikman1775]

You are helping me out here with your research thank you. Does the heavier machine come with pilot controls and what is the price for that machine?

[@bisonequipment]

Glad I could help! Overall, heavier machines are more likely to come with pilot control, as most non-pilot control machines are typically one-ton gasoline-powered models.

[@dvb-m8t]

Great video, thanks! What’s your opinion on KIMA KMZ12 as a manufacturer and in quality compared to the diggers in your video?

[@bisonequipment]

I don’t know much about KIMA. Seems like a good machine tho-sorry I can’t help.

[@garywarren1027]

Is The Rippa 319 of good quality in your opinion?

[@bisonequipment]

The R319 offers the best quality for the money. Many machines are better than the R319, but they also cost more.

[@Quagmire88]

Do you ever get in any of the 15 series? I have been looking at the Diggit em15, ff15, jg15, and the miva VA15p. I am more interested the in the machines with the pilot controls.

[@bisonequipment]

We will have what you're looking for in stock by End of Nov, top quality machine in this 15 Class

Hello, thanks for the video, you are great I tried to get a contact in China for Saisan excavators but was unsuccessful. Do you have a contact for Saisan excavators? Thanks in advance

[@bisonequipment]

You can contact them through their email: [e-mail] or if you feel comfortable, please send me your email and I’ll let their salesperson contact you.

[@manko4028]

You should do a dig test with all of them, a trench 3 feet deep and 6 feet long

[@bisonequipment]

In this series, we plan to organize and test everything, then provide a final statement to guide people on how to evaluate the machines. We'll also be doing some on-site comparisons soon!

[@adachao5055]

hydraulic pilot only possible with dual pump .This conclusion is not accurate.

[@bisonequipment]

The gray SAAO machine has a dual pump, but I didn’t mention that the other machines are pilot control.

[@adachao5055]

@ 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@johnjenkins8813]

There so many to choose from...so may brands .... and way off with there prices

[@bisonequipment]

You're right, John-there are so many brands and price ranges out there, it can be overwhelming. That’s exactly why we're testing and comparing everything in this series, to help people make better decisions. Stay tuned for more!
