Chinese Mini Excavator: The Dealer Difference - Beast of a Rippa R22 Pro with Kubota Diesel
What to expect when you reach out to a US Based Dealer, as opposed to surfing the Auctions, or attempting to bring something in from China by yourself. To be clear, I STRONGLY discourage trying to bring machines in by yourself. There are too many horror stories of people sending money to an unknown contact from a Chinese Company, and when (or if) they get their product, there are significant discrepancies and they have NO WAY of rectifying the situation.

Chinese Mini Excavator: Hydraulic Cylinder Basics, over vs under boom
NICE JOB !
Great job! Very clear and concise. Thanks
Where do you place the hydraulic filter on the inlet or the outlet
On the return side only
You make great videos! Beside your kits from you, were can I find the most exstensive replacement and frequent wear parts for these agt qk20 type machines if you dont mind?
Second time I've watched this. The graphs are easy to understand. It's early 2025, and I like your one stop shop philosophy as Chinese (metric?) fittings are "Spock-Eyebrowed" by the parts counter guys. 🤔. Will you be offering this complete kit again, this year?
the dealers here take 13k$ for the yellow one.The red with the small Tracks is about 6-7k$
Would you recommend a stand on or one of these?
I’d recommend a stand on machine, Rippa NDI635
I have A QH 16
Do you have an Amazon link for all the parts that you used in this video?
I need one.
addressing the heat in the engine compartment being excessive, because it is drawing heat from the muffler across oil cooler. i saw a guy reverse his fan to draw from outside, and blow toward the muffler area. he said it it fixed the problem mechanically, added heat on the operator, but the machine was better off. thank you for all the replies.

Hello. How do I contact you? I am looking for a hydraulic cylinder rebuild kit for the boom cylinder my 2023 AGT H13. I am wondering if you know of anywhere something like that is sold.
Can this move and run aux hydraulics at the same time for a brush cutter or trencher?
Dude you lost me at fraudbook marketface.
Thanks man, good review. I found one on Facebook and this is the only good review I found.
Walio how much did you pay for it? Thanks
Nobody makes these motor brackets anymore, looks like everyone stop making them. Anyone have a link where to buy them? Thanks
I make a case for why people should order the kits from you versus sourcing parts themselves in the video i made adding the cushion valve. Wanted to give you a shout out since i have learned a lot from you.
Hey, you have been supper helpful. I have a agt QK20K-C my hydraulic tank returns fluid in 2 spots above the hights point in the view window. The circle kind. It makes a whirl pool in the tank and bubbles. Should this have a down tube to put it back lower in the tank?
Hi Cam, do you know what the thread is on the cooler?
1/2G
Damn! How did this video get past me? I enjoy your reviews as you tell what your thoughts are. Since it's been 7 or so months are you still happy with it? In my area of NY State no one seems to be selling these small skid steers unless you go with a $48,000 unit. That's OK for now since the storage area is behind 6 ft snowbanks but spring is coming.
I am still very happy with it!
Any update on relief valve adjustment?
What’s your opinion on AGT L12R model
has anybody validated that this does fit the VA13 picked up one of these machines this week been researching upgrades if needed
When working with heavy equipment, wear the right shoes. Not flip flops.
Informative and hilarious. Bravo.
Sure, if I used it ever day or used it for a business, I’d upgrade… but my little $6k unit does everything I need to do… and the reality is it sits in my barn 90% of the time,
Does it work if you cannot get the coil on the nut? I’m trying to remove bolts where the nut is welded inside the frame. I can only access the head of the bolt.
So there both Chinese
Put larger pully on engine and slow it way down and give more power
I really appreciate your videos!
Wonder if it’s running lean or something??
Looks like wheel gearing is way too high, plus the relief valve is set too high. I saw it rated somewhere at 3200psi at 9gpm. What? 😂 That little gas engine could never handle that, maybe the Kubota diesel option. 😂 If you know anything about Chinese manufacturing, it tends to be an appendage measuring contest, even if it would be much better to build at much more conservative, but more usable, specs.
@@jwg9338that makes sense. So the gear ratio? My truck. Gas super duty has 3:73 gears. Longest gears u could get in a SD.. there’s one for sale by my house brand new in wrapping paper for 8k. Get it? My gas dually. Tank in the bed. I just wanna do like clearing land. Brushing. Stump grinder. Spread gravel driveways
@@jwg9338I already know the answer. But getting parts. Impossible or no? See I like to work on my own stuff 95% of the time. So If I can find replacement parts I wouldn’t mind. Like I said.. I’m trying to start a business. A 8k skid steer sounds tempting. It’s got that high aux flow for a stump grinder or mulcher. Idk I like it
@@jwg9338that means it has good top speed tho? 😂 old beer run in the skid steer 😂
Do you sell parts for a AGT 15 R mini excavators
Just brought the AGT equivalent home, looks identical, minus the decals. 2nd review of your film thanks. Noe to find an owners /operators manual.
I have a question would it be plausible to add a pop up valve and a foot controlled dead man switch? That away you aren’t having to work a valve in the cabinet and wouldn’t have to worry about a valve getting ate up right there. You would just need the nozzle. I’m wanting to start powder coating at my business which is a small cnc and manual machine shop and am in the process of building a nice large cabinet but I’m done with siphon type. So i started thinking about modifying a hf pot to use a pop up and foot controlled dead man switch and have it bolt up with a flange on the bottom with a 2” drain valve for when you need to change media out. What do y’all think about that? Think it can be modded to work correctly?
I want a kit
Where to buy a kit
Central Digger Supply. It is the sales part of the Garage Connection apparently.
I purchased this kit. When time to change the filter do you know what Wix filter crosses over to this filter ? Thanks
Found it . Thanks
Too much swearing . Always a bad sign
My tracks rotate at slightly different speeds, which means I'm constantly readjusting. Any way to tweak them to get them to move at the same rate so I can actually track a straight line?
Is that hydraulic fluid level low on your gauge? It appears to be close to the bottom. Shouldn't it be at least half way up ?
Half way up is good when the cylinders are all retracted
Sneaky SLEEZY infomercial...buy from a dealer...do not save money and import or buy at auction.
Hahaha buy from a dealer, get a good machine with troubleshooting and parts availability, and the ability to call with issues and questions. Buy from an auction, get a machine that’s guaranteed to need one of everything and won’t be nearly as smooth as a good machine
This is awesome! Thanks for taking the time to film this in detail. Have you already or do you plan to film a similar video for a stand on mini skid? I notice the excavator only has 1 pump, do all the mini skids have 2 pumps? Cheers.
Great explanation. Any idea of the max weight it would lift? I need something that could occasionally lift up to 800 lbs and was looking into these as a forklift is pretty expensive for moving 2 pallets a month.
840LBS but you will need to add counterweight
@TwistedGorillaFab that is probably easy enough. 840 would be plenty. Thanks!
Is this basically the same as the TPM16?
And the Miva VA16S
Nice job on the video. Great content. Ohhhh I like that AC and heat. I love my bigger mini X, I need one with a cab now. Thanks. You ruined me. Haha
Yeah it's a real game changer!
@@thegarageconnectionagreed. I’m out here freezing and making content on a cheap auction mini skid l today. I need to step up to the big leagues with a machine like that. After using my 3500lb diesel mini X, I don’t ever want to use the one ton any more. My diesel mini skid should hopefully be in soon. I do have a Digger Lid arriving tomorrow, but still no heat. Sigh..,,
@OurLifeInTrees it’s kind of amazing how much more the big machines are capable of, and there’s no secret to the fact that paying for a nice machine with a diesel allows, you to be much more precise in your movements and comfortable while doing them
@OurLifeInTrees I messaged you on IG also
@@thegarageconnectionI don’t see a message. 🤷♂️
I bought one for the h15. You'll have to figure out the size for the lower port cause he'll send it with plastic instead of metal.
The lower port on the cooler?
@thegarageconnection I'm sorry for the comment made. Went to take it off and it is in deed metal, it's painted black and looks like plastic. My apologies.
A programmable electric mower is less than 500 bucks. I looked yours up at 2400 dollars? It’s not even programmable to the parameters of the lawn.
I’ve seen the $500 mowers, they are great if you own a lawn the size of a putting green and about as flat. Wouldn’t last more than a few minutes on a real lawn. This machine is $1700
I've also been looking into robot mowers. The $500 ones are for very small yards, and are designed to maintain the yard, not cut tall grass. As he mentioned, these are not for cross cut pretty lawns like the robot mowers are.
What happened to the video fixing the rectifier?
It’s still out there on my site
Nice job and logical approach to finding the culprit.
