Ship lapping the front wall Cost is about $700 for pre-primed pine. Nice enough you don't really need to paint. Just another option from plywood and Drywall. Just need a Trim nailer, chop saw, and Oscillating tool. Of course your time.
Just some daily digging, I had a little overload situation.

Ultimate Fantasy Football Drafting Strategies!
I'm so glad you're making these videos as I'm putting in a bid on my next auction 😂 do these machines have a float for the bucket? Also is this the fastest the machine can travel? It looks pretty slow compared to a bobcat.
@kylequinn1963 No float, but my bucket is big and heavy enough it kinda acts as a leveler. It's pretty impressive how it cuts. No it goes double the speed but controls get very jumpy. Good for getting across the yard. We are happy that we can help. As we were blind to this stuff when we started the channel. Lot of recon and trial and error. Also good info from others!
Those CRT23’s always seem to ship in pairs. The way they come in the angle iron cages, they sit one on top of the other. The bottom one always seems to get dinged up. The mini ex auger attached to a 2” square tube with a pin, and then a blank attachment plate with a 2” receiver hitch seems like the best way to go. Allows you to extend the auger out as far as you need use the receiver hitch plate as multi purpose to still be able to move trailers around.
Interesting!! That does seem the simplest with the Hitch. I was looking into maybe getting a Backhoe attachment for the Mini Skid and just keep all them attachments.
@@TheJBros520 I have heard that those mini skid backhoe attachments leave much to be desired. Having to re-maneuver the tracks each time to dump and what not. With prices of mini ex's dropping by the day with how many are flooding the market from China, I would lean towards just getting a mini excavator with pilot controls.
@@59apachestepside Hey, thanks for that info!!! Good call.
How much are the CRT23? and where is this auction?
@ben2k552 The machines are located in Audubon, MN. Expect to pay over 4k. I paid 7.2k probably was on the high end. That was after all fees.
Can I ask which auction co? I'm in Minnesota and looking for a crt23@@TheJBros520
I’m going to take a mini ex auger amd make it work for my mini skid I’ll be sure and make a video and post it so you can see
@brodieworsencroft3296 nice!!! I will try do same if I am able to get one. If not I'll just wait til one comes available.
If you had looked closely at the front idler wheels, you would probably have noticed 4 tiny pilot holes in the locations where the 4 bolts on your machine hold the dust cover on. That's the way mine is. My guess is that they did away with the dust cover after they built yours. If you remove those 4 bolts on yours and the dust covers, it will likely look identical to these ones.
@timmothydubois9693 Thanks Tim!
What hydro oil are you using I just got my machine and want to change it out
I'm running a 32w which is thinning for colder temps but 46w is thicker probably be better in your warmer temps.
Sorry if I am double responding, 32w for colder areas its thinner , 46w for warmer areas it is thicker is my recommendations. I run 32w.
@@TheJBros520 ok, is that iso or aw?
@@robertpatterson7182 aw either 32 for colder or 46 for warmer climates
I'm looking to get the very same skidsteer 👍
Sweet! Hope it works out for you!
So how much $ have you put into this, machine price and upgrades
7.2k for machine in total. Throttle cable $65 new tracks at the time were $130 each think they are $160 each now. but i think $320 for both shipped to me. 1k bucket. Fluids lets say $100. So ($8,585.00). All Labor like grinding, welding and scrap metal stuff we had. Don't think I am missing anything. Hope that helps. Pending on attachments, we are definitely looking to add more.
@@TheJBros520 might be a bit over my budget
@@ExpressExteriorsLLC $8,565.00. $1,000.00 of that was the bucket.
@@TheJBros520 tbh it really comes down to you putting it to work right away and making $, which sounds like that is your case, so I think it’s a good deal if it’s making you $ right away, I don’t have contracts like that yet so going to hold out for a bit more, great review tho
@ExpressExteriorsLLC I know the red ones went for 4k last time. I really don't know much about there difference in performance
Hopefully you see this, I'm considering buying this exact machine (up in Canada) but I can't for the life of me find any information on how wide the machine is outside track to outside track. I work in fairly tight spaces and I'm used to a bobcat MT85 @ 36" width, if this machine is about 36" I'm going to grab one, but I can't find the info anywhere -.-" Love the videos on this machine, excellent work.
@kylequinn1963 I can double check when I'm home but I want to say 41"

Hi, what power (cc/rev) does the hydraulic pump have? thank you
System Safety Pressure: 22 MPa Maximum Flow of Main Pump: 75.6 L/min Gear Pump This is all I know about the Hydraulics.
Enjoy the channel. I do have a question about the crt23, thinking about buying one and was hoping you have used yours on sloped terrain and have some insight on how it performs.
@randallwelborn1305 I got some sloped stuff I need to do at my place tonight. What I will show is very comfortable slope. But it can go up 25 degree slope. I would not feel comfortable driving at a side angle at 25 degrees.
@@TheJBros520 thank you! I have some terrain pushing 30 degrees but was planning only backing up on it, no crossing. Is the motor powerful enough to go up and down that steep? Do these have any type of brakes? Don’t want it free wheeling down the hill. The tracks may lock when not on the joysticks. You provide more info than the website. Lol
Hey bro where did you purchase the new track from ? Thanks !

I'm enjoying my morning coffee and the algorithm said, "Hey, watch this!". I guess because I've been watching houses being built poorly (new home inspections in US/CAN/AUS), rebuilt from ruins (Algarve, Portugal), etc. I'm curious about the overall goal with respect to levelling the floors. You've described how your hands are tied with what can be done on the main floor given how well the upper floor(s) are resting, and the brief shots of your spirit level and the gaps that resulted made me think there's a high possibility of a rolling/undulating floor. I'm curious what I would do in this situation. I could see myself wanting to achieve perfection (timelines and budgets notwithstanding) by laser referencing the room and shaving down every floor joist so that the room was laser level.. but I don't know the condition of the other rooms. Are the heights different at the other entry points? Do I find a happy medium? Do I say, "Eff it, good is good enough." and pour levelling compound to cover up the sins of the 1890s. Anywho, it was a fine video. :)
THANK YOU! Your mind is were mine is at sometimes. Everything goes through my mind! This property was one we wanted to paint! New Floor! and Rent! My addictions for safety (Old knob and tube wiring) tapped into with new Romex wiring. Now new wiring made me demo more! Finding Foundation Failure after Failure. Lead to vaulted ceiling in a failed kitchen ceiling! Oh and a new floor. I will try put together a Collogue Video for you, were shingles were used as shims, kitchen have 4 inches of shimming and subfloors rather than removing to original they just kept adding. LOL. Glad you found it entertaining!
Would absolutely love to see the SNOWBLOWER on that machine. Excited for that video.
@fastshapes3dsigns290 Me too!!! I think it would be excellent!!! I'm doing recon on what direction we should go far as manufacturer.
Ever used a trencher on the CRT23?
@michaelbyras2258 I have not but curious to try one!!!
Where did you get the snow bucket?
@@acousticrocks7542 Top Dog Attachments!! Love the bucket! Cheers!
Way to sport the slippers. Great info on the dawn.
@@jeffbrooksidemobilehomepar8914 Lol, Thanks!!
I just don't know why you are dragging your bucket everywhere you go. I'm thinking, by the way you attempt to load it without shifting the dirt in the bucket and going at the pile again for a better load, it must be a lack of experience........ OR maybe that mini Skid steer just cant handle a simple job and the load is too heavy for it. I hope that isn't a rental because that bucket will be severely lacking paint and metal on the underside.........
I have refined my skills since then.... Lol. Just finding the right amount because obviously the machine cannot lift a full gravel load. Dry black dirt different story. That gravel/clay blend is like lifting concrete! But yes I am still getting better every time I think. Thanks for the comment!
Btw, go Marines!! My brother served in the Army in Korea for 4yrs. Crazy it was 20 yrs ago already.
Looks like a job for a mini excavator
For sure! I have been looking into one, I am just not sure I would have enough need. But if the price is right, maybe.
That is a neat idea ! Finish project is going to look sooo good. Your attic looks just like our home. Ours has sagged a bit outside noticeable.
@keithwilson9290 Thanks! We really just enjoy these projects. I'm glad you found the content interesting! We are trying to have the house done in 30 days, probably won't meet that but a lot will be changing each week.
Does your machine have a bucket float mode??? That would be very helpful... After placing your material down, place your bucket in front of the material like @ 13:54 but instead of using the front of the bucket, use the rear of the bucket... Put the bucket in float mode and travel backwards... If that doesn't work that well, try tilting the bucket up and dragging it backwards... My Berlon 36" LP bucket has a sharp rear bottom edge... It leaves a smooth and even grade traveling backwards ... Like warm peanut butter on hard toast... I have a Kubota SCL1000 Hope this helps
@generogg Thanks, I'll take a peak. I'm always trying to improve!
It does not have a float mode but it kinda floats because of the weight of the bucket. The back dragging I can't really have the bucket rear down as the power and/or angle the boom is at the track likes to slip. It is so fun fine tuning the cutting and dragging.
I only have 11 hours on it
@@c.landscape3194 bummer
Hay , do know where I can get new drive motors mine is leaking from the sprocket nut
@c.landscape3194 I'll reach out to a contact of mine and see if there is parts.
Pitty not very good at the machine. Maybe first experience?🇦🇺😎
@bobbymac1100 I'd say 8-11 hours I kinda had controls where I didn't need to look down as much. But really 20 hrs pretty second nature. But even as I re-watch us. I still chuckle and say oh started to deep or needed a better arm or bucket tilt. 🙂
@@TheJBros520 on my machine I have found it very difficult to have a good psyche on bucket geometry. Considering whether to place a camera on the mast to improve visibility. These machines are not generally used by highly qualified operators so smart arse comments criticising operation are imo unhelpful!
Where did you get the bucket? How much? I need one that big.
Top Dog Attachments, I paid $1,000. Worth every penny the speed at what it moves material is crazy, but it has it's limits with lifting obviously. It's on my skid 90% of the time.
How many hours on skid any Problem with bearings and the weels , great Videos ,
@brianc1253 Just under 70 hrs. No bearing issues. All roll Really smooth atm.
Hi Brother, nice video! Do you know which Hydraulic fluid does this machine accept?
I'm up north and it can get pretty cold here. I went with the 32w because its thinner, less possibility for gumming up I guess. Less extreme climates I would lean to the 46w for the extra thickness and lubrication. The fluid that came in the machine I thought was super thin, maybe a 20w. Hope this helps.
@@TheJBros520 Yes this greatly helps. We put in 46w. Feels good knowing we were not totally off. Thanks Brother. You should create a video for "How to drain/change Hydraulic Oil in these machines" That will be so helpful. I think ownership of these machines is getting so high.
@laebeli Hey thanks for the info on that! Somehow I missed this comment!

suitcase weights on the back is what you need thank you for the videos
@@formdog9861 Totally. Think I will get something made. Be fun for videos anyway.
It's those big ugly welds on the inside of the wheels and the roughness of the inside of the wheel. I saw a video where someone ground down the welds to make them smoother. So I felt inside the wheels of the one that I will probably buy and the welds were not too bad but the whole inside of the wheel felt like the most coarse sandpaper you have ever seen. When I get mine the first thing I will do is take the wheels off and get them machined smooth.
For sure! Those welds totally need to get cleaned up! I got a video showing it as well.
How about posting details about the bucket and track replacements? PN? Source?

Have you done anything to grease the track bogie wheels? grease zerks or disassemble and repack with grease?
I have not!!!! but it has crossed my mind to! Not sure what I'm doing there but I'm sure it's probably trivial.
I need to change the hydraulic fluid on my unit. Can you tell me how much oil I will need?
Should be about 8.2 gallons, good visual to know if you have enough when pouring. The level would be half way up the filter tank holder. Obviously check with the dip stick.
That thing can't handle that big of a bucket.
We keep strategizing to maximize and testing efficiency with it!
When you magnet fished the hydraulic tank, did you find shavings? Also, where are you sourcing your parts?
@snicklefritzd3612 Not really, was really fine. Which I guess was a good thing. Maybe they drained out but I was told as precaution to do so.
Nice
Thanks
What’s everyone paying for these units? The price vary drastically, the cheapest, I’ve seen and I’m about to go check out is $5500 and the most expensive is $14,000. Note, I’m in California.
@J0232anch3z I paid $7,200.00 after expenses on auction. Like 4 mths ago.
@J0232anch3z If I could get another atm for 5.5k I would as long as it looks clean.
@@TheJBros520 Thank you for your reply. I’ve been struggling to find info on these skid steers. What’s been throwing me off is the drastic change in price. But now after seeing what you paid, Im definitely going to by it. I’m a landscaper, I spend between 6-12k a year in rental fees for one. I can justify buying a Chinese one but not a toro dingo or bobcat as they are 10 times more expensive then a Chinese make.
@@TheJBros520 I appreciate your detailed videos. They are going to be very helpful when inspecting the util I’m going to see. It’s great to know what problem may arise with the unit and the needed adjustments to get the issue fixed.
About $3000 on average at Ritchie Bros auction.

@TheJBros520 Sounds like your fluid is staying nice and cool. On the couple triple digit days I ran mine, the fluid hit 57° C. Max for fluid life is 60°C/140°F so I didn't over work the machine. Quit at noon.
How have you been liking it so far
Absolutely love my machine. If my boys were older right now, I'd own 2 of them!!!
