The Cheap Chinese Loader-2 years later...

2 years ago I bought an SDLG loader for $64,000 brand new in the the box. It's been Good & Bad. But was it worth it ?

[@tutekohe1361]

A guy I was working for in Western Australia bought a 12t class wheel loader for $40k new a few years ago. Similarly it was very basic - no computer, no fancy electronics, no B.S. warranty forfeitures. We found we had to change all the oils and the batteries and once we had done that, it was brilliant. It was a copy of a ‘70s Komatsu, so design-wise it can’t get any better. Great geometry, components matched, easy to work on, everything worked like it should. I certainly recommend that brand and model as long as all out production is not your ultimate purpose.

[@benedettococila1401]

Hey Tu te Kohe what was the make and model of the loader you mentioned in your post I'm also from W.A and am looking for such a machine just to use on my hobby farm Regards

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.

I have run into this residue on RVs in the '90s. It was caused by a reaction between cheap rubber and acid rain, the only ways we could get rid of it was 1 chemicals so harsh we needed a special lic. for or 2 a buffer and rubbing compound neither of which were practical. I am not sure if the current ones are the same but I would not doubt that cheap chinese equipment is using the old formula crap.

[@AndyFromm]

8:30 i believe you need the drain adapter, it's a screw on part normally with a attached hose so you dont make a mess.

[@quazy1328]

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.

Then you'd complain they were cheap and something like what is supplied should have been used. It is 74hp, it is not a 185hp HMEE. You use it for its utility, not at its capacity.

[@txth6051]

normal valve stems are 100% fine in dirt moving operations as long as the have a cap on them, the larger valve stem is so that it is quicker to fill up the tire because it takes a while to fill it up with the smaller one

Is the bigger valve stem also meant to accommodate powder to be put into the tire for weight when needed?

[@tractormantp2113]

I agree

[@JasonTheMunicipalMechanic]

We have Volvo’s and the valve stems are much larger and require a reducer adapter. We also have a short hose that threads on the oil drain and opens it.

[@peg420]

I’ve seen that style drain plug on semi’s before, it threads on like a garden hose and then it has a piece of hose hanging down to direct the flow. As you screw it on it pushes the valve open and starts to drain. It’s actually a convenient way to drain oil.

I'd recomend taking a look at the JCB 907, I got to use it a bit for plowing and snow removal this winter and it is suprizingly nice for its cost. I do not know the exact cost, it was a rental, but heard they are rather inexpensive for what they are. It comes in at 74hp as well i believe, has a very roomy cabin, comfortable to use for hours, had a highway gear option on it, great visability, and good lights. The build quality was very nice as well and it just felt more solidily built then the Wacker Neuson WL60 we also use. Over the two, I'd take the JCB any day. Can't speak on dirt work as the most I've done with it was push up and back brush piles, but it didn't seem to be lacking in power.

If I had a snow moving operation I would really appreciate the visibility that comes from being up high in a cab as opposed to nestled in a SSL For the oil changes you might look into a vacuum oil extractor, it can suck the oil out of the fill hole and not have to mess with a drain plug Coating may be a protective rust coating when it's sent over on the ship from overseas.

John deere and Volvo machines have that style of drain for the engine. They sell a hose adapter for them

[@joemclaughlin995]

Not a bad machine in other words.Good video guys!

[@Dirtmonkey]

Yup! Thanks

[@chlordk]

Would you like to have a computerized John Deer which you can not repair yourself? Expensive too. They will tell you how much oil you need to add though.

For you guys dealing with this Chinese stuff, I use the Google translate APP on my phone, select camera after it loads then I take a picture of the Chinese writing and then send it to the printer if I need to. Some copiers will translate the whole page, like an owner's manual or service manual.

I could see having lower horsepower being an advantage in snow. it makes it a lot harder to break stuff

The coating on the loader is to protect it when shipping on a boat over seas from salt and corrosion

[@andreab6271]

Gasoline to remove?

[@v4thjhr]

@@andreab6271 Yes just pour gasoline on it and add fire to remove the coating.

Hey stan theres a google translate app that literally translates with the phones camera, it works pretty good.

You have never actually tried that with a service manual have you? It STILL won't make sense for the majority of techs.

[@stevearonie7825]

Now my question is simple. Do you see the value over time being worth it? Like if a truck was doing the same work or a skid steer would this out work them dollar for dollar? I was thinking if you got a machine and it moved more snow than a like machine but the man hours less meaning you can do more properties with one machine (or man) etc etc. just don’t know if it’s going to be a 3 year rig or more which is where the value changes in my mind.

good channel. fun to see the china tractor. I went and looked at one just because I was so eager to buy one a few years ago. but I went and looked. and made a movie available on youtube. thought of a return visit in a year. for and see if it holds 😅 in and check. there are subtitles

[@gerrylindberg9367]

look in the litte tool kit for a adapter to drain your oil. They are called FENCO fittings.The idea is hot oil control ,need to stop to change your catch pail midstream ,oil sample half way through.Call dealer for the fitting if not able to find one in the toolbox.

[@The1337Rainman]

I'm shocked how expensive equibment is in the US. You will get a nice 6 ton wheelloader from Atlas or other brands for around 65.000€ before taxes. One euro is currently 1,08 Us Dollars

[@steved2136]

Hell in Australia, you can get the same basic machine for $20k Au brand new, that's about $13500 US, someones getting bent over if they are paying $60000 US for one....

I have had similar stain on my ute's paint after parking under powerlines, I think it just washes all the rust and stuff onto the paint and caused it to permanently stain

[@eeezee3385]

Can you do a video on how your ram 2500 is holding up? My main issue with dodge vehicles are that they rust super quickly. Could you just do a walk through and tell us about if it was worth it, and if you would change it out for a ford or a dodge.

Go to a Deere dealer and ask for a oil drain hose for a 324j, it looks right the right fitting. It screws on to drain no holding required
