Thank You. I'm planning on getting a new camera soon so hopefully the audio improves. Ya I agree about the bucket. I should have bought one right off the get go. You can definitely move more material with it and save time.
I love the idea. Even if just to get a little extra stability. Also, you’re doing tractor work with an excavator while I’ve always been stuck doing excavator work with a tractor……. Until 2 days from now when my H15 excavator will be delivered.I will finally have the best of both worlds with 2 Swiss Army knives. A tractor AND an excavator!
This machine has the optional internal and external counter weights available only through Groundhog Equipment in Middleburg PA. The counter weights they used are also manufactured by Groundhog Equipment in Middleburg PA.
How are you liking the BH 14G-2? I have one, and like it, but I have had problems with fuel starvation, have you encountered any of that kind of issue?
Another thing you might look at is your choke cable. If it's seized or broken your choke may be slightly on letting your motor start and warm up but once it's at operating temperature the motor won't run right. Just a thought.
Would it be a benefit to leave that blade on your excavator or hurt it any? I’m learning a lot and you have swayed be into possibly buying one instead of a subcompact tractor. Thanks and keep the videos coming
Well you could leave it on if you wanted to but it's just another attachment that could be easily changed for different job requirements. I would think it would make a good snow pusher too if you turned the tooth bar upside down. If you decide to try it just make sure it doesn't interfere with the tail swim of your excavator when the blade is clear up.
I just bought a new phone and camera. I also just ordered a new microphone. I'm holding off on my next Video until the new microphone arrives. Thanks for letting me know. I've been struggling with this issue for a while.
Well to be honest the channel was a father and son project. The owner of Groundhog equipment helps me out with equipment and he gets Brand recognition on RUclips so it's a win win for us both. I would have bought a GroundHog Mini Excavator regardless because I needed an excavator and Nicks prices, warranty, and support made my decision a no-brainer. I now have a brand new machine that cost less than an old broke down bobcat and it has done everything I have asked of it. I actually own three Groundhogs now and I would definitely buy another. Thanks for watching!
Your probably right but that's one thing I don't have at the moment. I'm finding that the attachments for the mini excavators are much more economical than attachments for the mini skid steers though. Either way there's always more ways than one to do a job. I usually use a tractor and rake for this job but most people come to the channel to see what an mini excavator can do.
Pretty good idea we been having weather like that too came a good one here today
Thanks! it's been raining here for several hours now.
Another great video keep em coming! 40" bucket is mint.

I agree having both a tractor and an excavator is a winning combination in many situations.
sweet machine. Does this have a coutweight?

It's been working pretty good so far so no complaints. Have you checked the fuel shut off valve to make sure it's all the way open?
Another thing you might look at is your choke cable. If it's seized or broken your choke may be slightly on letting your motor start and warm up but once it's at operating temperature the motor won't run right. Just a thought.
Vapor lock?
How hot are the ambient temperatures you are operating in?
@@cdmajesty4803 It's been in the 80's during the hot part of the day since I brought it home so not real hot.
@@gardnersgroundhogminiexcavator sounds good. And I'm curious about the other gentleman who is having trouble

Tori, you are many times too far away from the camera and I wish I could hear what you're saying 🤣 keep up the great work bro 😎🤙🇺🇲 love the video

Awesome video
Thanks!
I have a pretty heavy blade for John deer it’s snow an garden had thought of doing something like that with it
Might as well get it done. It will make a video.
Do you work for or sell Groundhog equipment? I’ve watched a lot of your videos and I do enjoy them. Your very creative.

You would be better off with a skidsteer on this project.
