How’s the AC in it ? I’m in SC and you have peaked my interest in this machine. I currently have a small mini with the gas brigs but wanting to upgrade to a bigger machine. Is it smooth? Not to much bounce ? How stable is it. My little 1 will give you a pucker factor! Thanks.
The AC is actually really good, and the machine is very smooth compared to 1 ton machines. It has pilot valves (much smoother than standard hydraulic valves) and an accumulator (it's like a shock absorber for hydraulic fluid, dampens spikes in pressure) so controls are very smooth and fluid. You can make very small adjustments without getting that hard jerky movement. It is also very stable with a fairly wide footprint (5'7" wide track to track) and the radio is actually pretty good too. Probably my favorite thing though is the enclosed cab which means mosquitos and rain are no longer a factor. Also slewing action (rotating the machine over the tracks) is very smooth. I also love the Kubota diesel engine, it's quiet compared to the smaller gas powered engines despite being much more powerful and it doesn't have the dreaded DEF/DPF systems because it's only 25hp. The only downside to this machine and it's a big one, is parts and service are virtually non-existent.
@ you can’t get parts from Sunward ? I guess they won’t sell them for there off brand. Did you get it from AGT equipment? If so how was the process? Thanks for your answers.
@@benjamincoleman6883 Sunward would not sell me parts, I tried. Not very logical, I mean you would think they would be happy to sell parts to anybody willing to buy them. I bought mine from AGT through a bid on ebay and picked it up from their Chicago warehouse. Sunward has a satellite dealership in Texas, but it's all done through China not sure there is really anybody at the Texas location.
So grateful for everything Gault!!!

Good content, but the camera angles were too close. Can’t see the whole machine and the territory around it.
It's a work in progress, I'll keep it in mind for the next one!
