To help silence the noise on the canopy, anything that can't be dismantled or taken apart, like the plates welded to each other, you can squeeze silicone between the cracks. Be sure to let it fully dry before testing.
The suction filter referenced in the manual is inside the hydraulic tank, it spins on, if you remove the panel from over the tank should be a access plate. I have the VA15P and it has a drain and access port
The hydraulic filter goes on the line leaving the valve block and returning to the tank putting it on the suction side of the pump will collapse the filter and putting it on the pressure side will blow the filter right off its housing
nice video. get one of those valves that thread in oil drain and stay then you put a hose on it and twist the valve to drain oil my zero turn came with one amazon has them
How much engine oil? Hydraulic oil? I have the same model, plan to change the oil this weekend. Unfortunately a track came off when I was in the gravel and rocks... Need to remount that. Apparently the track specs should be stamped inside. Thanks for the video.
The engine took about a quart and a half. I have seen online that the Hydraulic oil is about 2 and half gallons. I only added about half a gallon of hydraulic oil to mine as it looked low in the container. I have not gotten to change it, but added some for safety. I will change it one day when I get time, looks like the hose connector at the bottom will drain it all, it will make a mess as seen in the video.
I say it in the video, I got it at auction for $4200. I think most of these are single stage, as when you move more than one control the movement slows down.
Hi friend, I expect a 15 in 5 days, but not at auction. It costs me $5,500 from a Chinese company plus $2,000 for shipping. It has a Kubota diesel engine, hydraulic thumb, arm with lateral movement and 80 cm bucket, and I think a double pump. Now I need to see how it works.

That lower port on the tank is suction to pump i believe, the return is usally higher on tank

Thanks, I'll be putting one on y new H15 soon.
Good to know, I will do that, thanks.

In the video you can tell it's a single stage pump.
@@joeada9309 Hi Joe, did you purchase in Canada or the US? Seems like they are a fair bit more in the US.
@@johnverney In the US. Yeah, prices are all over the place on these...
