Testing Limits of Chinese Skid Steer

[@brianscott8920]

“If you guys just want to go down to the bar and come back in an hour or so…” Hilarious!!

[@brianscott8920]

Very cool! I have the same machine. Looking to build a grapple like you built. What are the specs on the cylinder you used? Bore? Stroke length?

[@JesseSullivanYouTube]

I can't remember exactly. I'll need to have a look.

[@brianscott8920]

Or just a PN and I can research it. Thank you!

[@JesseSullivanYouTube]

Just checked. It's a 2in. Bore and 6in. Stroke

[@michaellynch1159]

Thx I plan to build one too

[@brianscott8920]

Thank you! Wow only a 6” stroke. I was guessing at least 8”. I guess it is bit misleading given the size of the machine.

[@keithallison360]

Hey Jesse, have you had any major issues with this mini skid steer? Made any changes to increase its reliability since you had it?

[@JesseSullivanYouTube]

I had to upgrade the tracks. The original tracks kept falling off. Everything else is original.

[@knot3520]

You're very good on that. Hard to be that accurate with on/off hydraulics.

[@JesseSullivanYouTube]

Thanks!

[@59apachestepside]

How many hours have put on the machine? Are those tracks just worn down or did you replace them?

[@JesseSullivanYouTube]

I think have around 15 hours on it. I replaced the tracks. I was having issues with the original tracks coming off all the time. I find the tracks want to come off when you drive over rough ground with big rocks/sticks. But with the new tracks it's alot less frequent.

[@brianscott8920]

Agreed, Chinese tracks were junk. Replaced mine after 4 hours. Just got my replacements on and running so much better. Make sure you check tension often as you break them in though

[@HELLBOYD50]

​@@JesseSullivanKZbingot any links for the new tracks, please?

[@edgarfiscal9610]

@@JesseSullivanKZbin I have the same problem as with the tracks, which ones did you review?

How high will that reach? My toro dingo tx427 barely gets over the sides of my dump trailer only 2ft tall sides.

[@JesseSullivanYouTube]

Not sure exactly. My dump trailer has 4' tall sides.

[@trainer05081974]

Does that one you have come with 3 pumps or 2?

[@JesseSullivanYouTube]

3 pumps

[@SenatorPerry]

@@JesseSullivanKZbin Sorry for being late to the video. Have you decoded how to tell whether there are 2 or 3 pumps based on models? It seems like a mystery and sellers seem to purposely not show the pump. Based on your usage, though, it looks like you could use a diverter valve and slowly move the same loads. Thanks for doing these videos.

[@JesseSullivanYouTube]

@@SenatorPerry based on the model, I have not. I just know what's in this one.

Canadian kindness isn’t just a stereotype 😅
