The larger tire valve stems are standard on most heavy equipment. Nothing special about it. The engine oil drain valve is also standard on most heavy equipment. Deere and Volvo both use the same drain as the SDLG. Sounds like a lot of whining from someone who has no clue what they are even looking at.

That is a common equipment drain valve by No-Spill Systems, the air valve takes a 3/8" chuck due to the volume of air the tire takes and not the 1/4 inch one that you adapted it too. Your Deutz engine oil capacity changed depending on application, that is why they can't just tell you off the top of their heads with out the ESN(Engine Serial Number) and access to the built specifications for the ESN. That grim on your machine is a protective coating that is applied before it is shipped to prevent salt water corrosion and if you use the proper cleaning method for machines, de-greasers properly mixed and a steam cleaner. I have worked one Chinese built machines for a rental company where we were the only company to have them and I have worked on CAT, Deere, JCB, Kubota, Yanmar, Doosan, and many others. This seems like a normal run of the mill loader experience you would have with any manufacturer, the only issue is that you seem to lack understanding and experience.

Well, the spec sheet from their website lists 10 liters or 2.6 gallons. Wondering why they haven't looked into that 🤔

1) Spends 64K on machine, won't spend a couple extra on the right tires for application. 2) bought a low-power machine, complains that it lacks power. 3) those tire valves are standard on most heavy equipment of all brands 4) that stuff all over it protects from sea water. Deere uses it to ship forestry equipment from Finland. 5) that oil thing did look goofy, just cut the line, put in a barbed fitting with a cap maybe?

On 5, you just need a nut the right size, weld a piece of thick wire in it and voila. Btw. that Oil Valve is standard on Cat and Liebheer, 10 tons above Fightweight.

stuff on the machine is common from liquid deicer around our parts, best to use bug and tar remover on it, safe for the paint

Hi Stan, I was very curious about your review. I agree, bells and whistles are nice, but, I have an older John Deere 244E, likely about the same size as yours. It's a very simple machine compared to a brand new one, but being old school, is very simple to work on. Simple to me, usually always equates to less things to go wrong. I totally agree about going cross country. Mine will do about 20 mph on level ground, but hills really slow it down. A mid range gear would make it far better. In your case though, the goofy way to change the oil and non standard valve stems are in-excusable. Also, since they are non standard, the adapters should be included with the machine!

Look in the tool box there is a clear tube that comes with the machine that screws on the drain out let the coating on the paint work is wax it should have been removed when PDI was carried out this machine is based on a Volvo on the right hand side of the cab or just as you go up the steps you will find a decal with all the levels

For the oil drain, I’m not familiar with that style, but working on equipment at work I often see a. Remote drain plug. It will just be on an extended hose with a traditional drain bolt. Very easy maybe want to look into that.

You could pick up a used CAT 906 and get done way more than the chinese loader at the same price, I’m in a CAT908 60 hours a week.... pick a used one up for $80,000 and 1500 hours and you get a very capable machine with all the options

You bought an underpowered machine,but you can help it out. Racers brake before the turn,and are in full throttle coming out. Your operator should have been lifting, reaching apex before he made the trailer . Then dumping is all that is required. I ran a loader for site-work that only had enough power to either,tilt,turn,or lift.

We have a LuiGong loader, same story as yours, the paint on it is doing the same random dirty runs. Went to get paint for it. Turns out the paint is lead based and is not allowed into Canada. Deere construction yellow is the best match but still not the same. Best thing to is paint the whole thing matte black haha.
