@particularlybad Thanks for all the suggestions! I've already added a counterweight and adjusted the tracks more than once. Overall, I'm super happy with this little machine!

@Longsnowsm It's quite a little tank! There hasn't been much i threw at it that it couldn't handle. About the only thing that stops it is when the weight is just more than it can lift. But that takes a lot! I've been amazed at what it can lift and haul!

@@MackenaK It certainly could have been worse! But, that little machine has been a trooper so far!

@@MackenaK I think it would be nice finishing touch!

@Mikefestiva I'm looking at a Bull EX15 (1.5 ton). It has pilot controls, boom swing and comes with 6 attachments. It has the 420cc gas motor, but I believe a larger hydraulic pump. I already ordered the quick attachment adapter for it. Hopefully, the mini excavator will be in first part of next month. Can't wait!

@ Awesome im looking forward to seeing it on your channel! I definitely think the extra .5 ton will be good. My little 1Ton was great but could have benefited with more weight. Did you order direct or buy it through a US dealer?

@@Mikefestiva There is a dealer in Tucson. I found his adds on Facebook. He will deliver it up to me for a pretty reasonable fee. The one I want is out of stock at the moment, but there is a shipment due any time now. He also sells Rippa, and Rhino excavators. I kind of think they are all made by the same people, just different branding.

@RogerKemp-v6x Thank you, sir! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! For what that little machine is, it really does a great job!

No, there is a push button control on the dash, so it is really quick to put it in neutral. I could leave it in drive because once I pull the brake knob it automatically goes into neutral anyway, but I always put it in neutral manually and bump up the RPMs. Otherwise, the engine will shut off after about 5 min of idling.

I have a couple of GoPro Hero 8s that I use. I made a mount from a pair of wide jaw vicegrips that I use to clamp onto the side step on the passenger side in that video. I also have a magnetic mount and a few other ways depending on where I want to put the second camera.

Hi Mike, so far, yes I'm happy with them! The only real drawback is when I'm backdragging gravel or something else. The teeth hang down below the edge of the bucket so they leave lines, but that is the only thing that bugs me. I think I can cut off the bottom of each tooth to make it flat if it becomes too much of a problem, but so far its just a minor annoyance. They are a huge improvement in the ability to dig with the bucket! especially in rocky ground, which is everywhere here!

@Predictbauer The bucket already has holes, and good thing too, that bucket edge is extremely hard! No way I could have drilled it! I got the teeth on Ebay.

@kerry4951 Yeah, that thing is pretty handy!

@@Eddie-f6t That grapple was a darn good investment if I do say so myself!

@@philipwalker1267 This one has two pumps. One for the tracks, and one for the bucket or auxiliary attachment. Works well, but you can't manipulate the bucket while driving. The valves don't work that way. It can be a little annoying, but you get used to it!

@@Mike-g5f9yWe appreciate it! It's a dirty job, but somebody has to do it!

I still work for MIGS. Haulin Trash is still my side hustle. But, things have been getting a little busier.

Thank you! I'm glad the videos helped! Don't worry about your English, I think it's just fine! I can't speak two languages!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video!

@brianschneir2158 I think the tipper is easier, just a little more challenging backing onto it the first couple of times. Definitely faster to get unloaded!

@codytreleaven4427 The grapple works great! It is heavy, and i had to add some counterweight, but it is amazingly useful!

The stock bucket has a fairly sharp edge, and it is certainly useful in some situations. But, I added the teeth to help in harder, rocky ground. I think they helped, but it will make back dragging a little harder to do! 😅

@@jeff7764 Nothing too hard, just a bit of a pain having to take the bucket off!

@@johnsmith-wd5sq Thanks, man! I had fun doing it, and for what it is, it does a fantastic job! Very good investment for me! There are more videos on my channel of the mini skid working! The grapple attachment is awesome!

@@haulintrash I was a little worried when I saw you were up there by yourself in case something happened to you, Then i saw the Cemetery across the street and was like, "Oh Crap!" Now i am really worried! LoL!

@@johnsmith-wd5sq Ha Ha! I'm pretty careful, and I always have my phone in my pocket! But, thanks for the concern! The neighbors in the cemetery wouldn't be much help, that's for sure! LOL!

@@joshkuper6817 I have not. I believe the guy who i bought it from had already done that. But it looks clean and clear and it's working great! I haven't looked for the drain on mine, but you could use a suction pump and pull it out that way.

@Eddie-f6t Yep, i agree! I've been looking at those battery powered chainsaws, they look like just the right tool!

The owners wanted AB to level the spots in the arena where the horses were making holes. Also, they wanted the stalls leveled out and packed with AB for the stall mats to sit on.

@@Eddie-f6t Thanks!

Yes I did! I added about 125 lbs by bolting a 1.5" thick steel plate to the bottom of the step. It helped a lot!

Here is the link to the video I made when I added the weight! ruclips.net/video/pu-5AtmbVCc/видео.htmlsi=t4T1eDJyxfwBbcoq

@@Eddie-f6t 3 ft sides.

@ thanks , I have the same type of machine , thanks for sharing watching from Raleigh/ Durham,NC USA

@Eddie-f6t OH that's cool! How do you like yours! I'm lovin' mine!

@ just got it last month , have not used it much , also have a mini and have grapple like it a lot . Like your brush grapple does nice job . May buy a dump trailer that’s why I was curious about your side height. Thanks for responding and Merry Christmas Y’all

@Eddie-f6t Merry Christmas to you as well! I wanted more capacity so that's why I went with 3ft sides. Mine are also flared, so it's 8 ft wide at the top. Almost 15 yard capacity, so it can haul a lot of junk!

@yamahabasher1 Thanks, man! It works out well that I can haul them both together!

@Yewgonnaeetdat I don't know about Temu, this came from a Richie Brothers auction. I've had it about 8 months and it is great! Serves my purposes quite well!

Yeah, I've got one, and it works well for what it is has its purpose.

I think mine is rated at 13.5 HP. It is a 420cc gas engine.

@Predictbauer Thanks! I'm glad to hear you enjoy the vids! I've had great luck with this MachPro! No problems at all!

That's a good idea! I will have to remember that!

LOL!

Jerry jones' draft strategy.

@savagefromtheraq I was driving for Patriot Disposal at that time. I don't drive the tipper trucks anymore, I'm doing my own little side hustle with a dump trailer. Junk removal, hauling gravel, rock, mulch, or whatever someone needs.

I did have one come off once, I just didn't know how tight they needed to be. Now I keep them tensioned enough and I haven't had any more issues.

@jaxxbee Mine is a "MachPro MPS300". So far I really like it. Has not given me any problems. I haven't tried it in snow, we really don't get snow here, but I would go for tracks over tires any day! Good luck!

@rctvet I found the grapple on ebay. It was about $870 with free shipping. Pretty good deal!

I think it's almost at 30 hours. Working like a charm!

They are fun to operate! If i ever win the lottery, I'm gonna have quite an array of heavy equipment just to play with!

@trashratt Thanks, man! It feels pretty good too!

@@ladygracienyc2029 This is filmed at the Northwest Regional Landfill in Surprise, Arizona.

@@haulintrash Thanks

@@vexizio3481 No, I don't work for them anymore. I really enjoyed it while I did, but the pay was really low for a CDL driver. I went to work for an excavation company driving their dumptruck for a while, and now I'm doing my own junk removal business.

@@haulintrash Oh, that’s also nice! Keep on working.

Thanks! It really has been a great little machine! Hasn't let me down yet!

At the time we filmed this it was, but it was a work in progress. He has since removed most of the rock and laid down turf in the back. It really came out nice!

@@haulintrash nice!

Thanks for the comment! I'm glad you like the videos!
