I bought a Chinese mini skid steer! A Machpro MP S330

You should make more vids with the mini skid cool little machine

[@datsunmike4740]

I will be, currently have no projects for it, but I should be able to show some snow clearing shortly

[@danielkingshott2659]

having bought other machpro stuff at auction, hopefully you did an oil change and changed the spark plugs, I would also check absolutely every single bearing for grease, they ship them mostly dry.

@@danielkingshott2659 of course, was all mentioned in the video.

@@datsunmike4740 Sorry man, I skipped through it, I did see you had a #6 zircs on there. My Machpro dumper blew it's idler bearing in approx 10 hours, I was able to remove the wheels and grease them from the rear.

I'm looking at some chinese equipment but not really sure where I should look in BC.

[@rickyeyelashes1]

Mine won’t go over 2mph

[@douglasroyal9589]

How do you adjust the speed.

[@datsunmike4740]

@@douglasroyal9589 I fiddled with the hydraulic flow control and they were already at full. These things aren’t speedy like the expensive name brand machines

What is that glass gauge that in front of my mach pros 380

[@datsunmike4740]

Where is this glass gauge located? On the hydraulic tank mounted inside the front of mine there is a glass sight gauge for checking hydraulic fluid level and also has a thermometer inside to check the temperature of the fluid in addition to the electronic hydraulic fluid temperature gauge on the dash panel

If you don’t mind me asking where did you buy this mini skid steer?

[@datsunmike4740]

Bought from a Facebook marketplace seller in Calgary, he had a few

Gotta love the Chinese. Can we skip this critical part? Technically it will still work. Alrighty then bypass the oil cooler and leave it out.

[@datsunmike4740]

The hydraulic cooler isn’t really critical unless operating for extended periods or in hot air temperatures. I can run mine for an hour or more at a time, give it a break and it’s fine, never had the temperature read more than 54c

[@mp-xt2rg]

I understand you can technically use it. As you get more competent with the machine you will start pushing it harder and it's going to overheat. My bobcat t550 will start overheating if i push it too hard and it's not missing parts. Unfortunately these sellers have no morals. The hydraulic cooler is a major part. You have to think what else is missing? What was cheaped out on?

[@datsunmike4740]

Everything appears to be adequate quality for the price. I’ve already done the hardest work it’s likely to see on my property, cutting grade in clay and it did well, hydraulic temps weren’t an issue.

[@natsterlive]

It won't run longer than 15 min of use in summer 25 C without a cooler.

[@datsunmike4740]

@@natsterlive I ran it for more than an hour at a time easily at 25 just fine
