My wife and I will be building a passive house in the Pacific Northwest. We hope you will join us during the process, including cutting down trees, milling, pouring foundations, SIPs, rain harvesting, window installation, geothermal (ground source heat pumps), HRVs (heat recovery ventilators), hydronic radiant floor heating, solar, smart home equipment, and more.
We are not builders but have RUclips, eagerness, and time.

Well Pump Replacement - Easy, with just one ER visit
Просмотров 1,6 тыс.6 месяцев назад
Replacing a well pump is not all that hard. Mine died during a freeze. The original was installed in 1979 and was made out of galvanized pipes instead of poly tubing (as it is mostly done today). In this video, I pull the old pipes, cut myself badly, get stitched back up at the ER, and finish the job the following day.

Lukas Crippen rapping "Look at Me Now"
Keep in mind the Chinese steal and copy almost everything they make. They will buy a mini excavator from the west and just reverse engineerin it. They spend zero money for research and development especially with military technology. This is a perfect example of how far advanced we are in the west. I heard a speech given by retired admiral Mike Mullins he said if we went to war with China we would sink there entire navy in a matter of weeks
I wouldn't trust any machine or company from China. I don't trust anything from China
Never buy a black mini digger,car,truck, or anything you will sit in on a hot summer day! You will become overheated! Black absorbs heat,white repels heat.and colours that go from dark to light, very the heat disipation. In your previous video,you mentioned different costs,but not the total costs inclusive of all the extras! What are the brokers fees 6%? In the hottest days you can cook an egg on any metal surface is painted black! I did this on my mother's cars black roof,it cooked!
In the ordering video there is a spreadsheet breakdown.
@einarmikkelsenPNW I'll have to look at it om a bigger pc,not a mobile phone !.

alibba all middleman the same price in china 50000rmb about 7000$
Thanks
Espanol: El que compra barato compra cada rato.. English: He who buys cheap buys more often. .........Espanol: Lo barato sale caro. English : cheaper is more expensive. I.m planning in developing residential subdivisions. These machines are attractive on prices but due to lack of force on heavy loads I'm going renting first or buying with an american dealer here in Houston.
I completely agree. I would never buy this one for a company. This is just for my own property.
I import a small tractor from Alibaba. To my surprise so many taxes and other hidden cost. it went from 3,000 to 19,000 it is mind buggle to import without experience.
That is insane! So many fees that you cannot know about ahead of time.
Good luck finding parts
I have had to replace a few parts. Amazon for o-rings and a local supplier for other items. Everything is off the shelf. No parts that are John Deere only.
Cool projects that your are doing with it.
Thank you
The oil in the picture is engine oil. Not hydraulic
You are 100% right. I accidentally showed the wrong container. They ate very similar.
ok, guys, this 2 ton with cab usually cost 15000 totally to deliver to USA.
Send me that link
Wait .. the shipping is only 150$!!
Oh no. The shipping to China was $150. Check out the spreadsheet for the charges beyond that, charged here in the US.
Hi. Did you take hot air from attic to the intake Rheem HPWH to be more efficient yet? Attic air about 100-120 degree and it make hot water faster.
That would make a lot of sense, but I also needed to vent the cold air somewhere. I sent that to the attic to condition the space. This is a temporary installation. It is going into new construction in about 1 year.
just use flex braided lines. easier and more energy efficient than pex
I'll check it out. I was told that they cause more vibrational noise in these heaters with heat pumps.
Neat video. 3 months, twice as much as the "sticker" price. Good to know!
Thanks for watching!
Could we get more videos over the machine being used?
I'll do my best.
Sir,may I ask, this is the Iron Box model? is it encased in steel all around? thank you!
It is not metall. I am fairly sure that it is plastic
@@einarmikkelsenPNW thank you!
Info on what happens at port and paperwork would have been helpful
The previous video covers that 100%
Kul maskin! :) Tror du det er rimeligere å importere til Norge?
Det vet jeg ikke noe om. Det var 25% import skatt til USA. Vet ikke hva det er til Norge
You need to learn to jump steer that excavator spinning the tracks in place is one of the hardest things you can do to that machine it's terrible for track life
Thanks. I'll watch a RUclips video to learn
@einarmikkelsenPNW its easy to figure out. Swing to about a 45 in the direction you want to turn, put bucket on ground, and lift the end of the tracks a few inches off ground. Then walk tracks in your turn while swinging the machine opposite the direction you want to turn.
im going to buy one in the philippines .....but im thinking of buying used...thank you for the video....the only Chinese brand I like is xcmg
Good choice!
How is the battery so far ??
It has been amazing. I am getting 55 miles of range on my quad.
@@einarmikkelsenPNWwhat cells ?! And that’s roughly going at what speed ??
Does paying with CC help avoid the 4% paypal feel. $1000 equals 40 extra free
@ilkzode1822 the fee was to Alibaba. I think you pay the same fee with credit card
Jvla norsk 😘
Haha. Ja, beklager så mye
You think there's QC on a 13k China excavator? 😂
No 👎
How much did it cost? I watched the video but might have missed it
I made a different (and much more popular) video about the ordering process. It also has a spreadsheet that details all the costs. With all the extra options l, it was $17,500, but with all the import fees, the total was about $26,500 ruclips.net/video/jfaxFafO8uc/видео.html
Ouch I just purchased a similar sized machine with a gasoline engine for 8600 after auction fees and taxes
@@MrCheaterpipecan we see what you purchased?
@TheOttomatic21 it's a machpro mp46 try ritchie bros.
I really don’t think you should be anywhere near heavy equipment
You might have a point, but did you like the recovery?
Did you keep the receipt?
In hand
Truck seat
Should I add one?
Hell yeah
Ac
I would love it
You are probably lift with boom and turn instead of only turning in place.
I wish that was the case, but no.
And in the middle of the video, someone switched to Norwegian - I guess that shouldn't come as a surprise with that name ;)
Det stemmer. Jeg er fra Norge og kona er fra Sverige. Barna snakker begge, pluss engelsk.
CLEAN YOUR MACHINE
That is a fair comment 👏 😀
As an operator I agree that a quick attach point is imperative. Without it all the various tools never get used more than once. To me it would be even more vital than a hydrolic thumb, and that’s vital! Great video.
Great point
Another very good presentation which seems surprisingly absent with the thousands of other reviews. Really appreciate the honest and open perspective.
Much appreciated!
I just released a video after 150 hours of operation.
Can it go through much rock ?
I have only drilled 5 holes and it just pushed the rocks to the side
does it still work??
Oh yes. My boys ride it all the time. It can do over 4 miles on a single charge.
How is the heat pump dryer working for you?
It is very good. No issues at all.
How fast does it go
25mph
About 25 mph
Ok thanks
I hope you took the opportunity to have a good underside inspection and maintenance session while she was resting on her side Einar!👍😂
You know I did 😏
I think that a lot of the import charges are USA specific..the USA does put heavy tariffs on some Chinese imports to protect their domestic market…but a lot of the smaller charges shown by the import agent were simply scamming. If you were a commercial groundwork’s contractor, where your machines are use all day, every day, by operators who don’t own the equipment..and don’t give a stuff..then buy a proprietary brand. If however you are a private buyer who wants a machine for your own use on your own property, going Chinese makes a lot of sense.. in Europe, a proprietary brand 2 ton excavator will cost a minimum of €30k….A Chinese 2 ton machine will cost less than half that ..imported. Also, the accessories, additional buckets, augers etc are a fraction of the price..So for non commercial, private use..the are fine..
Thank you for your insight. Yes. Lots of us nonsense fees and taxes.
Do theses implement work on other mini
Yes. It is a standard size
I have looked a long time for this kind of useful information on RUclips. Thank you very much.
You are welcome. I am kist now releasing my 150 hour follow up. Make sure to watch it before you order.
great video. thank you
Thank you
You are "pretty happy" - don't want to offend you but everything you talked about including the ridiculous price is "pretty nerdy"! Have you heard of FBM? Maybe Alibaba was a source at some point In the past but Trump Made America Great again, and you would be better off dealing locally. That Chinese trash lost half its value once it reached the shoreline.
Ok
If quality control is added the price will go up . The machine will be the same as any other machines .
Just a once over would be great 👍
Thanks for putting this video up. Makes my decision easier!
You are welcome. If you haven't ordered yet, watch my last video about 150 hours of operations update. It includes things I wish I had asked for.
4:37 you live in alaska?
No, Washington
Flott gård og gøy prosjekt!
Takk
I apologize for a comment i made about price. My 3.5 ton machine turned out to be 2.5 ton. A lot of lying about weight . Chinese mavhinez in this weight class have small blades and undercarriages which can cause big problems. Its surprising how these reviews turn out to be misleading. Big engine dont matter if other components wont keep up.
What a bummer!
Do u have trouble keeping tracks on? I have nt45 which is 2.5 ton with 9 inch wide tracks. Yachoo tracks. Track about 6.5 ft long.
No. No issue at all.
Hi, was is ocean freight with tracking info?
No tracking info until it reached US shores.
