Thanks for the nice comments, everyone! On the site www.nesherequipment.com you’ll see I don’t have the machines “in stock” yet but if you’re interested then just use the contact form to reach out and reserve one of the first ones (or to snag one of these four from the video).
@@hypercube33 I've started with 5 attachments: main bucket, pallet forks, auger, digger, snow plow blade. I'm looking into testing more. A powered snow bower would be great, I'll look into it.
Hi I could use a e Ike to get me back in good health as I have stage 4 copd and need help in excireing my legs and lungs the bike soupy help me out greatly
totaly agree, I live in Japan right now and recently bought some Japanese farming equipment, I just wanted to have this 'Japanese Quality', I found out later that the same quality you can find in China for less than half price. I guess all western countries gave up on their quality
@@piotrkamieniak2477 That's the funny thing. Western companies decided to use the reputation they built to sell over priced products. Create something and jack up the prices to high heaven so CEOs can fly private jets. I'm not falling for those anti-Chinese products propaganda anymore. I have been using for 10 years with no regrets.
Can I ask if you can recommend any equipment or brand? I have a container coming in and really looking to get into a skid steer and wheel loader to bring it along with that container. I have a Deere unit right now but I need a second and don't want to spend that much. Thanks
Man that shot of you and your dad driving side-by-side @ 4:54 gave me goosebumps. I miss my old man...🥲I pray you guys have many more adventures like these. Enjoy every minute of it you two!
Thank you so much for your very kind comment. G-d willing we will have many more good years together doing cool and fun stuff. It was a great experience driving them side by side !! Best regards
@@micahsdad5388 i am curios why some people don't spell out the word GOD --- leaving out the letter O --- does it cost more to type O instead of - ? i really want to know straight from the source sir, you! thanks in advance.
@@micahsdad5388 It is perfectly explained in that great treatise on the subject from the Roman times. "Life of Brian" - and NOBODY is to throw any stones until I say so!
So basically gems for those who have sharp eyes. Generally substandard according to price. If bargained low enough, they'd just substitute with a sub par quality product.
They can mostly supply what you need depending on your budget. If you want cheap, they have cheap. If you want state of the art, they have state of the art. They are not the China of 20 years ago, they now lead in 37 out of 44 new and critical technologies.
The quality looks to be au rendez-vous which is a priority for long term business . I bought a brand new chinese snow blower 6 years ago , still running well with good maintenance , acquintances told me it will work for 1 winter ! Good luck in your enterprise , we need people like you.
As a Chinese family grown up with SONY NOKIA Siemens VW now has been replaced XIAOMI, HUAWEI, DJI, BYD. And i realized the quality is better and the price even similar compare to 20 yrs ago
Products designed and produced by the Chinese are way superior and get better every year. I am happy that the Chinese now don't just produce for others but design their own stuff as well. Seems like they finally realized that the others design badly and then blame the Chinese...who exactly produced what these losers ordered. Qǐlai! from Croatia (awesome bridge by the way!).
These machines are perfect for Urban Contractors where noise and pollution could become issues. They can also work inside enclosed spaces and buildings where combustion gases would be a major safety problem. As someone with experience of Chinese imported goods, be prepared for lots of topsy turvy container packing and transit damage. One of the best ways to get past the damage issues in transit is to order at least one extra machine as spares. Breaking a whole machine for spare parts is often more cost effective than buying the spares individually from the manufacturer and covers your potential major component warranty service provision. Just work the costs into your List Price. The margins are there for you to be able to provide professional spares / service backup. Best of luck with Nesher Equipment
Only way someone is going to use something like this commercially is if it has the stamina to work all day between charges, and stay working without breaking long term. Access to hydro could be an issue as well. For a rural home owner with the disposable income to buy a machine to fart around with these would be perfect.
@@flight2k5 70% of our electricity comes from burning coal or natural gas. EV's are "external combustion vehicles" that smugly put their pollution elsewhere.
@@flight2k5 electric generation is far more environmentally friendly than gas combustion engines, even coal power plants. the efficiency is vastly different. plus EPA standards force many power plants to scrub their exhaust gasses to remove many harmful contaminants, unlike gas combustion powered vehicles.
When you use the auger, to remove the dirt that builds up on the auger you pull it out of the hole and hit reverse on the auger so the auger spins the dirt off of it. You don't want to jerk your wheel back and forth like that because it will start to wear the steering system out.
It does not spin fast enough for that since it is running on the aux hydraulic line supposed to only supply the bucket lock cyliders with a throw of 2" and no force....
Don't use reverse. Just pull it out of the hole and turn it forwards. It will spread much farther than way. If you use reverse you pour a bunch back into your hole
As a retired veteran of the utility sized construction equipment business I really appreciate this type of quality machinery. It makes me want to get back into the business.
I think what you're doing in regard to reselling these machine's, is going to service a Great Need for a lot of small farmers who help keep America going. Very Cool!! - BC
We bought an American made fridge, the brand was called Crosby, supoosedly the best with a 10 year warranty. The compressor died in 1 year and when we called the warranty department they told us to go pound sand. Buying US doesnt always mean youll get the after sale support!
As a lifelong builder, I’ve kept up with market trends and have never heard of “Crosby”. However with a little research I found “Crosley” appliances which you probably meant and I recognized it as a classic American brand (car guy), but after doing some research I found that although they claim manufacturing of their appliances is by (Frigidaire) and laundry appliances (Whirlpool), the majority are manufactured in China. Online information is limited regarding current ownership and history of the “Crosley” name, but it appears as another one of those companies that “claimed an unprotected brand identity”, I.e. has no affiliation with the Crosley family heirs and are selling a recognizable name from a bygone era, not high quality, American made products. Thanks for the inspiration to research the Crosley Brands, it was quite interesting. There’s also two separate Crosley brands. Regardless of those findings, sorry you were hosed by a company whose “Limited” 10 Year Warranty on Parts, wasn’t what you were told and one year!… Heck, my parents had over 40 apartments built in 76-82 and 75%+ had the original (working) refrigerators when the apartments were sold in 2010. ✌🏻
@@chrisE815 some nice cope you got there. My f150 radiator hoses had just recently burst, luckily I had enough water to get back home to repair it. Ford engineered the y-fitting out of plastic. Plastic. The brass fitting replacement was $6 at lowes. I can't imagine how many coins Ford mustve shaved to buy their in house designed part. When I took the truck to get a rotation, the techs couldn't remove the lug nuts because good ole' american Ford decided to use aluminum capped lug nuts, which swelled past the point of the normal 21mm socket. It took them over half an hour to free their own socket from the swollen capped nut and refused to do the rotation until after I installed after market, solid lug nuts. I had to use a 1-1/8 metal hole bit to drill past the cap to reveal the actual lug nut below. Wake up, american companies are complete trash now that value engineers obsolescence into the products to maximize "shareholder" returns. Frankly, I couldn't give 💩💩 about buying american anymore.
These little vehicles are really neat I’ll give it too this company. They really make them decent looking and affordable. Loved the little dragon nice little gift and thank you.
I'd love to see a followup video with how they've done after 6 months to a year and how long the batteries last on say a full days worth of use moving things around.
Would also be good to see an experienced operator's take on them to give a more apples to apples comparison so people will have a better idea where they stack up compared to traditional equipment.
I guess those are not really targeted to operations where they get a workout for a full shift. But I can imagine they really find a good place, if you need something like this just every now and then, move a few buckets of dirt here, drill some holes there. It is like with the digger attachement. Does it replace a full blown excavator? no, sure not. But can it handle quite a number of those once in a while we need a ditch or a smaller hole tasks? sure it will. But a comparison like @donhappel9566 mentioned would indeed be interesting. also to see how much load they can handle. I don´t think those things are something for a contruction company or a full time landscaping business. But a smaller nursery or just your retirement hobby farm? Even possibly those once in a while jobs on a golf course, Could be great.
@@leeneal6969 urban construction sites have HV power access, and would be small enough you could just run vehicles on power cables, with some guys following it around making sure it doesn't run over the cable. For rural jobs, add a battery trailer, bingo bango.
The hitch is for a generator on wheels, in case you need longer hours. Jokes aside, they seem really good even for smaller operations such as landscaping.
I work occasionally for an old friend in concrete demolition. When we sawcut the floor of an office building for an electrician and plumber to lay in conduit for a new tenant, we normally pull the blocks by hand. This means we have to cut them smaller and risk back, hand and foot injuries, and it also ruins two hand trucks per job. Having this piece of equipment would be OSHA compliant for use indoors, and we could even dig out the substrate for the electrician and plumber, netting even more profit. This is pretty cool, I’ll be passing your contact info on to the boss.
@@twiggy99 I'm just thinking of some happy chinese dude working in a warehouse was hyped making this little trinket to send for someone across the world
This is amazing. Maybe you should make a video on how to order and arrange the shipment. That would be very helpful too. Thanks for posting great content!
I'm blown away by how affordable you've made these machines 11000 for a new machine in the US is unheard of. I have seen diesel zero turn mowers go for more than that I'm impressed and as someone who is looking for a small machine to do work on the property this is perfect.
Put one into actual hard work and you'll soon find out why they're only 11K. Don't get me wrong, cheap Chinese machines are ok for a home/small holding owner but not in full-on commercial use.
you've fell for the bait my brother. American goods are not more expensive because the quality is higher. American goods are more expensive because of ever increasing 1% siphoning as much money as humanly possible out of out citizens@@deezelfairy
Hi, great that you are promoting these sort of machines. One thing you didn't mention, but is an advantage of electric, is that they can be used inside without a massive snorkel to get the diesel fumes out. Good luck with Nesher hope it goes really well.
The other maintenance benefit is they are less likely to unexpectedly break down; the drivetrain at least. Worst thing is having a failure in the middle of a job with other people on the clock and no tool
@@bennisles9521 I once worked at a factory where the boss insisted on running the propane forklift with the garage door shut. All of us on the production floor got massive carbon monoxide headaches. They are no fun and take about 4 hours to go away once you get fresh air.
About 23 years ago I built my own loader similarly designed loader like these with Kubota diesel engine. Back then not many competitors and I used it for my landscaping business I had at the time. If I still had that company I'd buy one in an instant.
If I had ranch or some acreage, one of these with all the attachments would be super useful. It'd save a lot of labor too. I think the niche you're targeting here, the small end of the market, is right and that's where you'll get the most traction. If you're older, having trouble getting around, want to not risk throwing out your back etc, but you don't want to give up the property that you worked so hard for, one of these would be a game changer. I wish my Dad still had his hobby farm - this would be perfect for him!
Yes you found your business.. everything up to this point has been for this exact business. It might take a little time as the construction equipment market is very brand loyal and your going to get some hate but don’t let that slow you down. Congratulations!!
Fantastic!!!! I love the video. I was amazed at the quality and the demonstration. So quiet and very strong. So versatile. I love the electric stuff. You should mount the dragon on the big loader ha ha I like the auto lock as well The attachments will do everything for sure. I see you have an experienced helper (your dad). He operates the loader well. You are lucky to have him. Mik I truly enjoyed watching I watch it over and over. Thanks for sharing it with all. I am 70 and I use my pedal bike to go to the Family Dollar store to get what I need because I don't have a car and my wife don't drive anyaway but if you would please enter me in the EbikesForGood ? It wood be easier for me for sure. I look forward to see future videos you make. You cover everything about the machines. The quality is very good for sure. Thanks again, Joe
@@1970Custom I was talking about on a single charge. I used to run Raymond Reaches, Clamps and Dockstockers. Went through a minimum of 1 pack-change per shift. 2-3 if it was a particularly heavy shift. Electric forklifts have modular battery packs that can be changed in 30 seconds with a modified Reach-truck. It takes longer to drive to the charge bay than it does to actually replace the pack. These machines have no such benefit. The kicker to all of this; Even with modular battery-packs, it *still* requires an entire dedicated room, holding *very* expensive racks, charging equipment, high-voltage lines, and a custom Reach-truck to keep them going. At the last facility I operated Lifts at (cold-storage warehouse), they had a not-so-small transformer substation dedicated solely to that purpose. Not cheap.
@davidianmusic4869 : Huh... well I guess because you said it here on the internet, it must be true. LMFAO! Best get back to your "hobby farm", and shut the front door.
20:06 I can answer your question via a friend's company. He owns a B2B landscaping and irrigation company. A few years ago he ditched all his ICE tools and went all in with battery-powered tools. The tool power lasts all day but he has a number of spare batteries (which also helps because he is based in Florida) - due to his location work happens all year around. Since the change he has had less staff off sick due to vibration-related issues, staff not getting sick from burns, breathing in emissions from the gasses given off from the ICE and staff being much happier with the working environment. last time I spoke with him his insurance went down due to these changes. Matinace of tools and tools needing replacement/repairs/going wrong and costs have greatly reduced. He is now looking at replacing his 5 to 7 F150s with the F150 lighting as well. At the same time, he was looking at investing in solar panels to power the yard and building where all the stuff is kept. And free fuel to charge the trucks. He sees it as saving him money and not as much as saving the environment.
These types of machines are very common in Austria/Germany. Mostly as Diesels. They are called „Hoftrac“ and originally designed for small farm buildings often seen in the Alps. The smallest variant can drive through a normal 🚪.
The whole video I kept thinking "I wish I could get something like that here in the states"... and then boom - you announced that is exactly what you are doing!! I'm so psyched that you are offering this. Can't wait to order one.
I can’t wait to buy a Chinese electric car one day! They are so well made that even Elon Musk admitted they are extremely high quality and that they could put his company and any American car company out of business! Which is why he is pleading with the US government to ban them because not are only they are well made but they cost 1/3 the price of a comparable type of a Testla car!
@@grandwonder5858there is a lot of companies in China that make electric cars or atleast lot of electricity cars cuz idk if the gov or not but like a Spain youtuber showed the evcars and it was actually decent enough Like you can have small car to big cars and lots of upgrades to be made
Dude, this is awesome. Very similar to a venture I was considering a few years ago, but can no longer afford. All for this! Wish you the best of luck with this, definitely think there is a market for this.
Ikr. My step dad has a huge acre of land that he plays with and he is somewhat far from the city and he is already a senior. I think machines like these can really help him move and do stuff without breaking his back!
@@nsebast HUH?!? I'm only familiar with the Chinese philosophy : "If possible, always cheat" Also, the Mandarin phrase: Cha Bu Duo or "close is good enough"
@@nsebast ..and unfortunately Chinese people still starve to death thanks to their Gov putting them in brutal lockdown for years on account of a novel cough they let out 😷
Great video! As much as some will hate to hear this, this is an honest to goodness example of China's clear manufacturing superiority. Great innovative useful machines, at half the price, with all of the benefits of electrification, great engineering, sturdy, etc. In fairness, we didn't see it load a dump truck, or do heavy work in a tough rocky or muddy construction or mining worksite, but for $20k-$30K for a new loader that can work an 8-hour day of intermittent use, its a better product. I assume air conditioning (AC), universal skid-steer mounts, and bullet-proof cabin glass are available, but those things cost money - and AC is going to reduce running time. It costs $1000 per day in fuel to run a lot of equipment, so fuel is not a small savings here, it's a huge savings - especially when the cost of the loader is cheaper as well. It would be interesting to see the specs and comparison of how that drivetrain keeps up with a diesel loader - on a construction worksite.
@@mannybak idk you put a battery in them and they go. Does that not scream toy? Seriously they look like toys. How can they not be toys. Unfortunately like any toy the batteries never last long enough then you have to replace them.
A really handy attachment for the digger attachment would be to make a thumb for the bucket and even make a wood splitter attachment on the thumb, like a spike & 4way splitting blade that can grab and split firewood .
Well his idea of extensive usage is probably moving a couple loads of mulch, moving one little bucket of gravel, stuff like that and it’ll only be used a few times a year. I’m sure it’ll last a decent while doing that cute stuff. But this thing ain’t for moving dirt plain and simple.
I have absolutely no need nor use for one of these. But I WANT ONE! There's GOT to be something I could use one for. Glad to see you are letting your Dad have some fun, too! Great Video!
Do not get me wrong . By trade I went to school to be a mechanic for the diesel eating monsters . I love the power . Saying that . I can see where these are much safer. They have less noise so you can hear something to happen. Also if someone needs you . Let alone the fumes from the exhaust from the other loaders . These are a great idea!
I bought the larger 1400 tractor from these guys, and it just arrived in my state in Arizona, great group of guys to buy from and very friendly and helpful. I bought a lot of the attachments so am really looking forward to using this. Moved a few pallets with it on Day one and it lifted them with ease.
I love that you and your Dad were learning how to operate these new machines together!! I do some landscaping with my son up here in Wisconsin and we'd go nuts if we had one of those machines!!! Thanks for a VERY enjoyable video!!!
I don’t think power would be the issue. These while heavy are no where near the weight of a traditional loader. The small weighs only 2500lbs while the larger weighs 4500lbs. Pretty sure the smallest bobcat available weighs more.
@@dannyv2335 The small one weighs as much as a Kubota BX23 series loader with slightly less lifting capacity. The smallest Bobcat/skid-steer can do 10x the work in the same amount of time. It can actually dig in with the front bucket, especially in heavy clay soil, unlike the L880 or the Kubota.
@@michaelg4931 this reminds me of battery tools vs electric. Want to work all day? Use a plug in tool. Want to go do a one hour fix it job? Grab the ryobi. Same thing here. This is not for hard core work. This is for small jobs, jobs that can be done over several sessions, jobs where simply hopping on and unloading a pallet or something would be super.
@@dannyv2335 I have an AGT micro excavator, weighs just under a ton (probably 1 ton with me on it lol), and it digs through heavy clay just fine. The small bucket means it doesn't need as much weight.
I love these videos from your parents farm in Florida. Keep up the great work Micah! Your dual motor bike on the beach got me to make my first build and I can’t wait to see what you do next!
As a client, China maintains it's efforts for Quality, when it has concerns..it is able to maintain its quality, since it is shelf life based, was asked how old is that item, its been around for 1.4 decades, 2 decades, 2.3 decades. There is quality always. Tried and tested.
I've always figured that electric vehicles like this make a lot of sense. These vehicles need a balance weight, so the battery becomes part of that weight, instead of being extra to move around.
Yeah and the battery probably only lasts a few charges and then you're going to have to pay what you paid for the whole machine to get another one and then the installation and then the removal
@@JohnnyMotel99 because somehow liberals think that that's a lot clear energy and a good idea to buy Chinese junk made out of recycled toasters with batteries you have to strip the Earth and kill habitat and then plug in the coal burning power plant to recharge it a couple times and then in the winter time is that battery has no power seems like nobody had power wheels or anything like that when they were kids not really practical at all waste of money and minerals
I’m not a big supporter of importing all of our stuff from China!!! but you are not in the least bit wrong when you say that a machine of that size would be $40,000. I currently work for caterpillar which by the way make their machines in China and you’ll be lucky to get something under $40,000 that’s used of course so I’m here for it and the fact that it would be amazing for anybody that has a homestead or needs it for their property even small jobs. This is awesome and wish you the best.
There’s lots of great applications for these, especially to bigger one. Construction supplies depots are one obvious one. Driving in & out of stores means no fumes or noise, (both health & safety issues). The other obvious application is dairy farms where the cows are permanently housed. Often older tractors are used to scrape down areas inside the shed. These would have no issues working in a shed full of animals. The quick hitch changing over to the pallet forks is very versatile too.
Great video and all the best for your venture. The only thing missing is the range of the batteries ie 4hrs heavy use, 7hrs light use. Also the charging times. Thanks.
You have to face the fact that you can get quality equipment from china. I have purchased Chinese lithium battery forklift from Hangch and it was half the cost of a Yale forklift and I could not tell the difference in quality.
Yes you can. The problem is, as he said, to find those quality products and the right manufactures, because that's not easy. You don't know who would screw you and who wouldn't. As we saw with the excavator he bought - it was basically crap, and very expensive crap! lol
@@Bannimann2 Agreed. Due diligence on the part of the buyer is certainly required. But that is true of US manufactured products as well. Good stuff and crappy stuff always exists in the same marketplace at the same time. The quality of (good) Chinese products has shot way up there including heavy equipment. Look at Sany construction equipment. Chinese company with huge marketshare in the US and around the world.
A lot of organisations will really want these, also because of the environmental reasons, it'll help with their corporate and social responsibility targets. I've seen previously from Fully Charged how an Australian hospital changed to electric mowers because it reduced the noise and disturbance to the people in the hospital. So that lack of noise is a significant benefit. Part of me would like to be bold and parter to be a UK distributor for this.
The common Mini Skid steer attachment plate would be ideal for those little machines as they would be cross compatible with the rental attachments available.Bigger machine might need full Skid Steer quick attach plate.
I assume these machines are intended to only be used with their own attachments. The machines likely don't have the proper hydraulics and lift capacities for the universal attachments. If this machine had skid steer quick attach and you tried to use a front loader designed for a larger tractor you might break something or tip it over.
@@andrewgee241he said “mini.” That is a different from a regular skid steer quick attach. It’s a smaller version. Therefore the use of the word “mini.”
Yep. How much would it take to make an adapter for standard attachments. If it has the hydraulic flow to drive and lift, it has enough for attachments. These are interesting but without standard attachments, it's a no go for a pro like me. Leaves it as a homeowners.
These loaders are great and look to be very capable for a tool on some acreage anywhere. As an operator in my past I can see what a good piece of equipment with alll the attachments is easy to run. Electric and hydralic power areso good of a match. In years past the drone of a diesel engine didn't help my already failing hearing, so quiet electric is the way to go.
Very cool. And if you can make a detachable 'thumb' for that digger arm like my friend did, you'll turn it into a super handy lifter/grabber for clearing brush, logs/sticks, stumps etc. Edit: I see from your Nesher website they could already be available as an option, from the photo.
Wow! It's cool to see these and would love to see even more of them being sold, as well as produced in north America. Hard to imagine john deer making these with any user replaceable parts. sigh, can hope!
They have 14.4kw power packs on the big one. I have four of these same units I imported a year ago probably from the same factory (Qingzhou Yingnuo.) The operator needs STRICT training not to run the packs down to less than 20% to avoid destroying them fast. I swapped out a substantially better battery monitoring system on the units I have. We still killed one of the battery packs in 6 months running it too low due to a programming issue on the monitor. The others are fine. Based on degradation, I expect about a 5-6 year lifespan from the pack. They are using lead acid batteries, and this degradation substantially matches electric forklift degradation. The unit with lead acid batteries got upgraded to a lithium ion pack, but we had to add weights to the vehicle to offset the huge weight reduction. However it is a substantially better machine now, like night and day.And based on the last 6 months, we expect its pack to last 10 years+ My units run for about 2 hours of hard work for the lead acids, the lithium ion unit upgraded unit runs for about 6 hours of constant work.
I think as the need for more small hobby farms fulfill niches these type of service boutiques will be more important. Great innovation with your experiment.
That’s awesome! Congratulations on and good luck with Neshere! I really like electric vehicles and how quiet they are. I have an electric mower, which I really like aside from its ill suited lead acid batteries. Also I just finished outfitting an electric Club Car Carryall 500 as a maintenance vehicle for work.
If you start to rent them out …having a trailer for each one with a generator built in and accessible storage for each attachment would be something to consider…. Have an electrifying day. ? Is there an outlet on these units that you can run an extension cord to operate electric skill saw / drills/ work lights ..etc. ? .. having a forklift to build , a shed or a deck and plug your power tools in to would be very. Handy !!!
After looking at the specs it seems the larger loader has about the same specs as my 2019 Massey Ferguson GC 1720 BL. Cost is a little more also. There is definitely a market for electric right now tho. I was hoping the lift and HP would be significantly higher being electric.
they put a package together of the mini truck, the small loader, big loader, and all the attachments, and I could see it selling. I'd be in for one pretty soon.
Fun video! Good luck on your new business. I recently visited a CAT dealership that opened in my home town. I’ve always wanted to have and use a backhoe. When I asked the price for a small one, I was told 250. I couldn’t comprehend that that meant $250,000. I think your business will do well. One thing I would have liked to have seen in your video, was it digging through clay and roots.
I am going to say this, I got a backhoe I bought 10 years ago, from China, and guess what? It still works, it never broke, it works like the first day I bought it, apart from one of the hydraulic joysticks which I abused because I thought the more muscle I put into the lever the more the power I put into the buckets, LOL!
I think Volvo just recently presented a series of full electric full scale excavators. I wonder how long those run or if you can go tethered in certain situations.
@@gateway199999 Yes, but as far as I remember, alot of those were run tehered in some way, as batteries were not able to endure a whole shift, plus in mines work often was done around the clock and there was no real downtime for charging. Not saying there have not been battery powered electric vehicles or machines as well.
I purchased a Leite model LT1012, a 1.2 ton mini excavator with all the attachments from China. The China price was $4500. The dozens of fees to get it to my door cost an additional $4700! So it actually costs $200 more to get it from the port in LA to Pahrump Nevada than the cost of the machine from China to the USA. $1300 of this was thanks to Trump's tariffs on China. However, the quality of the machine is excellent. It is constructed with robust steel and very nice welding. But there is no after-market support. They cannot even supply a service manual. I have only been able to learn how to service the machine by watching RUclips videos! I'd love to see a video on your fail with the mini excavator.
It’s awesome that you’re importing these. Hope it goes well and you can expand the product line. I’d be interested in electric ATVs and electric surfboards from China but don’t want to import them myself.
The loaders seem like they're actually pretty well-balanced machines. I'm curious to know how they perform in really cold weather . Where I live it's nothing to get-20 in the winter
Depends on the battery chemistry. All batteries don't like freezing temperatures. Older style batteries don't like the cold but then they don't have the thermal cutouts that some modern high energy ones have. I would recommend battery heating no matter what chemistry is used and ideally inside storage when not in use. Warm batteries of any type will always work better in this instance. Remember that the hydraulics don't like freezing conditions either and improve when they warm up - just like engine powered machines!
@@davidmuirhead1060 that's actually a very good point. Unless you heat the hydraulic tank to the Hydraulics might be worthless. I'm thinking maybe we've got a little ways to go before electrical work where I'm at. I mean don't get me wrong it'll work most of the year but most of the year kind of makes it useless the rest of the year
starter batteries and hydraulics have always been susceptible to low temperatures as is coolant with low antifreeze levels. EV machinery of this type at least doesn't have coolant problems. I would be more worried about a cab to protect from the wind and sleet. I would be giving up long before the EV loader would. @@Rusty_Nickle
As a minimum, definitely give the pump some warm-up time, then GENTLY cycle all cylinders, avoiding the end stops, multiple times to cycle warm oil through the hoses. This goes for all hydraulic machines and should include all cylinders, including steering.
It's interesting that the US doesn't have an electric loader alternative as they have such an advanced industry with all the major industry players. I wish you all the best with your new venture
Thanks for the nice comments, everyone! On the site www.nesherequipment.com you’ll see I don’t have the machines “in stock” yet but if you’re interested then just use the contact form to reach out and reserve one of the first ones (or to snag one of these four from the video).

Made in China nowadays doesn't always mean cheap and low quality, if you got the sharp eyes, there are gems and great affordable options
very true - thx
So basically gems for those who have sharp eyes. Generally substandard according to price. If bargained low enough, they'd just substitute with a sub par quality product.

@@tunisa0284Indeed
These machines are perfect for Urban Contractors where noise and pollution could become issues. They can also work inside enclosed spaces and buildings where combustion gases would be a major safety problem. As someone with experience of Chinese imported goods, be prepared for lots of topsy turvy container packing and transit damage. One of the best ways to get past the damage issues in transit is to order at least one extra machine as spares. Breaking a whole machine for spare parts is often more cost effective than buying the spares individually from the manufacturer and covers your potential major component warranty service provision. Just work the costs into your List Price. The margins are there for you to be able to provide professional spares / service backup. Best of luck with Nesher Equipment
Only way someone is going to use something like this commercially is if it has the stamina to work all day between charges, and stay working without breaking long term. Access to hydro could be an issue as well. For a rural home owner with the disposable income to buy a machine to fart around with these would be perfect.

When you use the auger, to remove the dirt that builds up on the auger you pull it out of the hole and hit reverse on the auger so the auger spins the dirt off of it. You don't want to jerk your wheel back and forth like that because it will start to wear the steering system out.
It does not spin fast enough for that since it is running on the aux hydraulic line supposed to only supply the bucket lock cyliders with a throw of 2" and no force....
Don't use reverse. Just pull it out of the hole and turn it forwards. It will spread much farther than way. If you use reverse you pour a bunch back into your hole
Or you can get the hole started then have your workers, kids, or his pops grab some damn post while diggers and finish it 😂😂😢....😮😂😂😂

I think what you're doing in regard to reselling these machine's, is going to service a Great Need for a lot of small farmers who help keep America going. Very Cool!! - BC
视频太棒了，我一个中国人居然在RUclips看到这个产品，然后建议我经营果园的叔叔买了一个🤭
We bought an American made fridge, the brand was called Crosby, supoosedly the best with a 10 year warranty. The compressor died in 1 year and when we called the warranty department they told us to go pound sand. Buying US doesnt always mean youll get the after sale support!
so true - it's always let the buyer beware - everywhere
I doubt the compressor is made in America tho
As a lifelong builder, I’ve kept up with market trends and have never heard of “Crosby”. However with a little research I found “Crosley” appliances which you probably meant and I recognized it as a classic American brand (car guy), but after doing some research I found that although they claim manufacturing of their appliances is by (Frigidaire) and laundry appliances (Whirlpool), the majority are manufactured in China. Online information is limited regarding current ownership and history of the “Crosley” name, but it appears as another one of those companies that “claimed an unprotected brand identity”, I.e. has no affiliation with the Crosley family heirs and are selling a recognizable name from a bygone era, not high quality, American made products. Thanks for the inspiration to research the Crosley Brands, it was quite interesting. There’s also two separate Crosley brands.
Regardless of those findings, sorry you were hosed by a company whose “Limited” 10 Year Warranty on Parts, wasn’t what you were told and one year!… Heck, my parents had over 40 apartments built in 76-82 and 75%+ had the original (working) refrigerators when the apartments were sold in 2010. ✌🏻
@@chrisE815 some nice cope you got there. My f150 radiator hoses had just recently burst, luckily I had enough water to get back home to repair it. Ford engineered the y-fitting out of plastic. Plastic. The brass fitting replacement was $6 at lowes. I can't imagine how many coins Ford mustve shaved to buy their in house designed part.
When I took the truck to get a rotation, the techs couldn't remove the lug nuts because good ole' american Ford decided to use aluminum capped lug nuts, which swelled past the point of the normal 21mm socket. It took them over half an hour to free their own socket from the swollen capped nut and refused to do the rotation until after I installed after market, solid lug nuts. I had to use a 1-1/8 metal hole bit to drill past the cap to reveal the actual lug nut below. Wake up, american companies are complete trash now that value engineers obsolescence into the products to maximize "shareholder" returns. Frankly, I couldn't give 💩💩 about buying american anymore.

I'd love to see a followup video with how they've done after 6 months to a year and how long the batteries last on say a full days worth of use moving things around.
Would also be good to see an experienced operator's take on them to give a more apples to apples comparison so people will have a better idea where they stack up compared to traditional equipment.
and when the battery dies mid job and the digger is stuck on site!
@@leeneal6969 and 5 minutes from power on your property 🤣😂🤣
I guess those are not really targeted to operations where they get a workout for a full shift.
But I can imagine they really find a good place, if you need something like this just every now and then, move a few buckets of dirt here, drill some holes there.
It is like with the digger attachement. Does it replace a full blown excavator? no, sure not. But can it handle quite a number of those once in a while we need a ditch or a smaller hole tasks? sure it will.
But a comparison like @donhappel9566 mentioned would indeed be interesting. also to see how much load they can handle.
I don´t think those things are something for a contruction company or a full time landscaping business. But a smaller nursery or just your retirement hobby farm? Even possibly those once in a while jobs on a golf course, Could be great.

These would be great for a small business in an urban area, small, low noise, easy to move around, and lighter than a skidsteer. Great video.
I work occasionally for an old friend in concrete demolition. When we sawcut the floor of an office building for an electrician and plumber to lay in conduit for a new tenant, we normally pull the blocks by hand. This means we have to cut them smaller and risk back, hand and foot injuries, and it also ruins two hand trucks per job. Having this piece of equipment would be OSHA compliant for use indoors, and we could even dig out the substrate for the electrician and plumber, netting even more profit.

I'm blown away by how affordable you've made these machines 11000 for a new machine in the US is unheard of. I have seen diesel zero turn mowers go for more than that I'm impressed and as someone who is looking for a small machine to do work on the property this is perfect.
Plus they have attachments that can do more things and dont cost a fortune
It's sad that we can't produce something as efficient and affordable here in the US.
The excavator on the site is way overpriced tho at $22k. You can get a gas AGT for $4500 new. It can't be $18000 better.
Put one into actual hard work and you'll soon find out why they're only 11K.
Don't get me wrong, cheap Chinese machines are ok for a home/small holding owner but not in full-on commercial use.
you've fell for the bait my brother. American goods are not more expensive because the quality is higher. American goods are more expensive because of ever increasing 1% siphoning as much money as humanly possible out of out citizens@@deezelfairy
Hi, great that you are promoting these sort of machines. One thing you didn't mention, but is an advantage of electric, is that they can be used inside without a massive snorkel to get the diesel fumes out. Good luck with Nesher hope it goes really well.
That’s an excellent point! And these are fairly compact so they are good for indoor demo work.
The other maintenance benefit is they are less likely to unexpectedly break down; the drivetrain at least. Worst thing is having a failure in the middle of a job with other people on the clock and no tool

First time I see electric construction equipment in action. Amazing! Battery totally make sense instead of keeping an engine running all the time.
About 23 years ago I built my own loader similarly designed loader like these with Kubota diesel engine. Back then not many competitors and I used it for my landscaping business I had at the time. If I still had that company I'd buy one in an instant.
If I had ranch or some acreage, one of these with all the attachments would be super useful. It'd save a lot of labor too. I think the niche you're targeting here, the small end of the market, is right and that's where you'll get the most traction. If you're older, having trouble getting around, want to not risk throwing out your back etc, but you don't want to give up the property that you worked so hard for, one of these would be a game changer. I wish my Dad still had his hobby farm - this would be perfect for him!
Yes you found your business.. everything up to this point has been for this exact business.
It might take a little time as the construction equipment market is very brand loyal and your going to get some hate but don’t let that slow you down.
Congratulations!!
Fantastic!!!! I love the video. I was amazed at the quality and the demonstration. So quiet and very strong. So versatile. I love the electric stuff. You should mount the dragon on the big loader ha ha I like the auto lock as well The attachments will do everything for sure. I see you have an experienced helper (your dad). He operates the loader well. You are lucky to have him. Mik I truly enjoyed watching I watch it over and over. Thanks for sharing it with all.

Great move. I’ve worked a hobby farm with diesel skidsteers, and your units could have done 90% of the work cheaper quieter cleaner and as fast.
Not even a chance lol diesel is the way to go electric is only for the homeowner they won't last anywhere close to what a diesel one would.
Yeah... Except for the fact that a diesel skid can last 8 hours on a tank of fuel. That electric POS is gonna be dead within 3 hours.
@@MFKR696 your logic makes no sense. Electric forklifts have been around for a few decades and run 10/12hr shifts regularly
@@1970Custom I was talking about on a single charge. I used to run Raymond Reaches, Clamps and Dockstockers. Went through a minimum of 1 pack-change per shift. 2-3 if it was a particularly heavy shift.
Electric forklifts have modular battery packs that can be changed in 30 seconds with a modified Reach-truck. It takes longer to drive to the charge bay than it does to actually replace the pack. These machines have no such benefit.
The kicker to all of this; Even with modular battery-packs, it *still* requires an entire dedicated room, holding *very* expensive racks, charging equipment, high-voltage lines, and a custom Reach-truck to keep them going.
At the last facility I operated Lifts at (cold-storage warehouse), they had a not-so-small transformer substation dedicated solely to that purpose. Not cheap.

Best get back to your "hobby farm", and shut the front door.
20:06 I can answer your question via a friend's company.
He owns a B2B landscaping and irrigation company.
A few years ago he ditched all his ICE tools and went all in with battery-powered tools.
The tool power lasts all day but he has a number of spare batteries (which also helps because he is based in Florida) - due to his location work happens all year around.
Since the change he has had less staff off sick due to vibration-related issues, staff not getting sick from burns, breathing in emissions from the gasses given off from the ICE and staff being much happier with the working environment.
last time I spoke with him his insurance went down due to these changes.
Matinace of tools and tools needing replacement/repairs/going wrong and costs have greatly reduced.
He is now looking at replacing his 5 to 7 F150s with the F150 lighting as well.
At the same time, he was looking at investing in solar panels to power the yard and building where all the stuff is kept.
And free fuel to charge the trucks.
He sees it as saving him money and not as much as saving the environment.
Can't wait to see what you import next.
These types of machines are very common in Austria/Germany. Mostly as Diesels.
They are called „Hoftrac“ and originally designed for small farm buildings often seen in the Alps.
The smallest variant can drive through a normal 🚪.
Man you did a great job showing what other countries really can achieve- china is so underrated!

Great video! As much as some will hate to hear this, this is an honest to goodness example of China's clear manufacturing superiority. Great innovative useful machines, at half the price, with all of the benefits of electrification, great engineering, sturdy, etc.
In fairness, we didn't see it load a dump truck, or do heavy work in a tough rocky or muddy construction or mining worksite, but for $20k-$30K for a new loader that can work an 8-hour day of intermittent use, its a better product.
I assume air conditioning (AC), universal skid-steer mounts, and bullet-proof cabin glass are available, but those things cost money - and AC is going to reduce running time. It costs $1000 per day in fuel to run a lot of equipment, so fuel is not a small savings here, it's a huge savings - especially when the cost of the loader is cheaper as well.
It would be interesting to see the specs and comparison of how that drivetrain keeps up with a diesel loader - on a construction worksite.
it's $2k~$4k ,not $20k-$30K

Would like to see how powerful they were digging in heavier clay soils.

I've always figured that electric vehicles like this make a lot of sense. These vehicles need a balance weight, so the battery becomes part of that weight, instead of being extra to move around.

I’m not a big supporter of importing all of our stuff from China!!! but you are not in the least bit wrong when you say that a machine of that size would be $40,000. I currently work for caterpillar which by the way make their machines in China and you’ll be lucky to get something under $40,000 that’s used of course so I’m here for it and the fact that it would be amazing for anybody that has a homestead or needs it for their property even small jobs. This is awesome and wish you the best.
There’s lots of great applications for these, especially to bigger one. Construction supplies depots are one obvious one.
Driving in & out of stores means no fumes or noise, (both health & safety issues).
The other obvious application is dairy farms where the cows are permanently housed. Often older tractors are used to scrape down areas inside the shed.
These would have no issues working in a shed full of animals.
The quick hitch changing over to the pallet forks is very versatile too.
Great video and all the best for your venture. The only thing missing is the range of the batteries ie 4hrs heavy use, 7hrs light use. Also the charging times. Thanks.
That fluid level gauge on the side is in an ideal place to be torn off.

I doubt it will be in a tighter spot than that container.
You have to face the fact that you can get quality equipment from china. I have purchased Chinese lithium battery forklift from Hangch and it was half the cost of a Yale forklift and I could not tell the difference in quality.
Yes you can. The problem is, as he said, to find those quality products and the right manufactures, because that's not easy. You don't know who would screw you and who wouldn't. As we saw with the excavator he bought - it was basically crap, and very expensive crap! lol
@@Bannimann2 Agreed. Due diligence on the part of the buyer is certainly required. But that is true of US manufactured products as well. Good stuff and crappy stuff always exists in the same marketplace at the same time. The quality of (good) Chinese products has shot way up there including heavy equipment. Look at Sany construction equipment. Chinese company with huge marketshare in the US and around the world.
A lot of organisations will really want these, also because of the environmental reasons, it'll help with their corporate and social responsibility targets.
I've seen previously from Fully Charged how an Australian hospital changed to electric mowers because it reduced the noise and disturbance to the people in the hospital. So that lack of noise is a significant benefit.
Part of me would like to be bold and parter to be a UK distributor for this.
Very cool!!! Like lots of folks, really loved the electric truck from years ago. So happy to see you’ve turned your passion into a business!
The common Mini Skid steer attachment plate would be ideal for those little machines as they would be cross compatible with the rental attachments available.Bigger machine might need full Skid Steer quick attach plate.
I assume these machines are intended to only be used with their own attachments. The machines likely don't have the proper hydraulics and lift capacities for the universal attachments. If this machine had skid steer quick attach and you tried to use a front loader designed for a larger tractor you might break something or tip it over.
@@andrewgee241he said “mini.” That is a different from a regular skid steer quick attach. It’s a smaller version. Therefore the use of the word “mini.”
Yep. How much would it take to make an adapter for standard attachments.
If it has the hydraulic flow to drive and lift, it has enough for attachments.
These are interesting but without standard attachments, it's a no go for a pro like me. Leaves it as a homeowners.
They cost $7,900 per unit but shipping is expensive and dealers have minimums.
8 hours to charge for 6 hours use per charge.
Excellent !!!
These loaders are great and look to be very capable for a tool on some acreage anywhere. As an operator in my past I can see what a good piece of equipment with alll the attachments is easy to run. Electric and hydralic power areso good of a match. In years past the drone of a diesel engine didn't help my already failing hearing, so quiet electric is the way to go.
This is so insane! I am so happy for you and these machines look so dope. I hope your business flourishes and get lots of traction!
Glad to see they sold.
Would love to be able to get the little one with attachments for 15k~ Looks like it'll be close, I'll keep an eye out!
Sold out in less then 24 hours! Obviously you've found the nitch. Awesome job and excited to see you grow
Very cool. And if you can make a detachable 'thumb' for that digger arm like my friend did, you'll turn it into a super handy lifter/grabber for clearing brush, logs/sticks, stumps etc.
Edit: I see from your Nesher website they could already be available as an option, from the photo.
Wow! It's cool to see these and would love to see even more of them being sold, as well as produced in north America. Hard to imagine john deer making these with any user replaceable parts. sigh, can hope!
Prepare to pay 3x more for made in usa
If JD made the unit it would take a technician and his laptop just to work on it.
@@billwheawill6544 and to replace a hydraulic line you need to sell a kidney
Cute machine. Great for a golf course with houses close by. Can start without annoying the neighbours.
This is a game changer for the urban environment or
Nice video! You didn't mention the average run time with a fully charged battery. Those small loaders would be nice for snow removal.
Yes they would do a good job but I 👍. But I am sure there is a old weather degradation test coming. Hopefully 🤞
1 to 4 hours, depending
@@abyssmanur3965 yes lots of variables but curious to see one test and the conditions.
They have 14.4kw power packs on the big one. I have four of these same units I imported a year ago probably from the same factory (Qingzhou Yingnuo.) The operator needs STRICT training not to run the packs down to less than 20% to avoid destroying them fast. I swapped out a substantially better battery monitoring system on the units I have. We still killed one of the battery packs in 6 months running it too low due to a programming issue on the monitor. The others are fine. Based on degradation, I expect about a 5-6 year lifespan from the pack. They are using lead acid batteries, and this degradation substantially matches electric forklift degradation. The unit with lead acid batteries got upgraded to a lithium ion pack, but we had to add weights to the vehicle to offset the huge weight reduction. However it is a substantially better machine now, like night and day.And based on the last 6 months, we expect its pack to last 10 years+ My units run for about 2 hours of hard work for the lead acids, the lithium ion unit upgraded unit runs for about 6 hours of constant work.
thanks for comments, could you plese say how much is a standard battery and how much for a lithium? just approx.@@BadHaddy
They look very impressive. A straight blade would help for another attachment. Maybe a small wood mulched.
This is AWESOME! About time someone with both the knowledge and the ENERGY did something like this. Wishing you the best.
This is great and very much needed! Would like to see them with lithium batteries but guessing that jacks the price up.
Would be nice to have a wheel roller attachment/compacter. Great for small size construction.
I think as the need for more small hobby farms fulfill niches these type of service boutiques will be more important. Great innovation with your experiment.
That’s awesome! Congratulations on and good luck with Neshere!
I really like electric vehicles and how quiet they are. I have an electric mower, which I really like aside from its ill suited lead acid batteries. Also I just finished outfitting an electric Club Car Carryall 500 as a maintenance vehicle for work.
Awesome units and great explanation, hope your new company hits big.
These are amazing! I wonder if there are models with loaders on front, but also with 3 point hitches with PTO's for
If you start to rent them out …having a trailer for each one with a generator built in and accessible storage for each attachment would be something to consider…. Have an electrifying day. ? Is there an outlet on these units that you can run an extension cord to operate electric skill saw / drills/ work lights ..etc. ? .. having a forklift to build , a shed or a deck and plug your power tools in to would be very. Handy !!!
After looking at the specs it seems the larger loader has about the same specs as my 2019 Massey Ferguson GC 1720 BL. Cost is a little more also. There is definitely a market for electric right now tho. I was hoping the lift and HP would be significantly higher being electric.
It is always SO interesting, Micah, to see what you're up to. Fascinating, once again! Fearless, and wonderful too!
they put a package together of the mini truck, the small loader, big loader, and all the attachments, and I could see it selling. I'd be in for one pretty soon.
Fun video! Good luck on your new business. I recently visited a CAT dealership that opened in my home town. I’ve always wanted to have and use a backhoe. When I asked the price for a small one, I was told 250. I couldn’t comprehend that that meant $250,000. I think your business will do well. One thing I would have liked to have seen in your video, was it digging through clay and roots.
Wow that $250000 wtf thats a house.
I am going to say this, I got a backhoe I bought 10 years ago, from China, and guess what? It still works, it never broke, it works like the first day I bought it, apart from one of the hydraulic joysticks which I abused because I thought the more muscle I put into the lever the more the power I put into the buckets, LOL!
y i read comments it will give up next winter 😅
I’d never actually thought to see if these existed as electrics. Colour me impressed!
I think Volvo just recently presented a series of full electric full scale excavators. I wonder how long those run or if you can go tethered in certain situations.
They have existed for years inside of mines.
@@gateway199999 Yes, but as far as I remember, alot of those were run tehered in some way, as batteries were not able to endure a whole shift, plus in mines work often was done around the clock and there was no real downtime for charging. Not saying there have not been battery powered electric vehicles or machines as well.
I purchased a Leite model LT1012, a 1.2 ton mini excavator with all the attachments from China. The China price was $4500. The dozens of fees to get it to my door cost an additional $4700! So it actually costs $200 more to get it from the port in LA to Pahrump Nevada than the cost of the machine from China to the USA. $1300 of this was thanks to Trump's tariffs on China. However, the quality of the machine is excellent. It is constructed with robust steel and very nice welding. But there is no after-market support. They cannot even supply a service manual. I have only been able to learn how to service the machine by watching RUclips videos!
I'd love to see a video on your fail with the mini excavator.
We developed our own manual for our machines and provide parts and support
This is a smart man. You heard what he said? He’s starting a business company to sell those equipment. He’s going to make a killing. Bravo man!
It’s awesome that you’re importing these. Hope it goes well and you can expand the product line. I’d be interested in electric ATVs and electric surfboards from China but don’t want to import them myself.
Hey! Good for you for starting up a company to distribute these machines. That's awesome.
The loaders seem like they're actually pretty well-balanced machines. I'm curious to know how they perform in really cold weather . Where I live it's nothing to get-20 in the winter
Depends on the battery chemistry. All batteries don't like freezing temperatures. Older style batteries don't like the cold but then they don't have the thermal cutouts that some modern high energy ones have. I would recommend battery heating no matter what chemistry is used and ideally inside storage when not in use. Warm batteries of any type will always work better in this instance. Remember that the hydraulics don't like freezing conditions either and improve when they warm up - just like engine powered machines!
@@davidmuirhead1060 that's actually a very good point. Unless you heat the hydraulic tank to the Hydraulics might be worthless. I'm thinking maybe we've got a little ways to go before electrical work where I'm at. I mean don't get me wrong it'll work most of the year but most of the year kind of makes it useless the rest of the year
starter batteries and hydraulics have always been susceptible to low temperatures as is coolant with low antifreeze levels. EV machinery of this type at least doesn't have coolant problems. I would be more worried about a cab to protect from the wind and sleet. I would be giving up long before the EV loader would.
@@Rusty_Nickle
Y'all do realize that it gets cold in China too right?
As a minimum, definitely give the pump some warm-up time, then GENTLY cycle all cylinders, avoiding the end stops, multiple times to cycle warm oil through the hoses. This goes for all hydraulic machines and should include all cylinders, including steering.
These are pretty impressive! I just moved to the country and am excited to see the growth of this type of machinery being used.
Those look awesome! How about the battery life? How long are you able to work between charging?
It's interesting that the US doesn't have an electric loader alternative as they have such an advanced industry with all the major industry players. I wish you all the best with your new venture
