- We get the question all the time - what makes GroundHog different from the other Chinese excavators on the market? Join Nick on this next series where he compares GroundHog excavators to other Chinese brands. If you have any questions or want to order an excavator, please give us a call at 570-765-9338. Thank you for watching!
Watch your step, "you were beating the crap out of it", he's keeping it real, lol! Awesome video.
You're building a great machine no doubt, but thats not apples to apples comparison. There are other chinese minis built better than that one with extra plating on boom etc. They also cost half as much. Youre comparing a diesel to a harbor freight gas. Come on... 😒 Everyone sh1ts on the cheap chinese, but for people who just put a few hrs a week they cannot be beat for value under $4-$5k all in at these regional auctions. Not eveyone needs or can afford a $9k+ "offbrand alternative" to the $40k big brands. Yet I will admit this looks like a quality diesel thats hard to beat at the price point.
Would like to see you demo the rollers on the tracks if they are plastic or steel and are they bushing or ball bearing? and if one of the wheel motors fail... what model Parker would replace it? And same with pump?
Thank you I like this machine!
Back in the spring I started looking into the Chinese mini ex. Thankfully I came across your channel fairly quickly. Even watching the videos you had available in April, it was clear to me you have the better value (from upgrades and experience). Now I'm just arranging finances for a future trip over and purchase.
Great to hear! We look forward to working with you whenever the time is right. :)
We are a professional export excavator manufacturer, if you need, please contact me in time.
Very helpful video as there are quite a few brands when searching. I believe all of yours come with a hydraulic thumb as well.
That is correct! All of our excavators come standard with a hydraulic thumb and auxiliary hydraulics.
Thanks yeah what lots of people don’t know the average consumer is all the big names just work with manufacturers overseas and put together a bunch of outsourced parts for the most part. John Deere bobcat kubota etc ain’t like they are making all that stuff in house at all
Exactly! Nothing is completely American made anymore. Thank you for watching! :)
Thanks for the great comparison! How easy is it to remove the canopy? I have a 10x16' shed with a barn-style roof that I would like to store a mini excavator in, but the doorway is definitely too short for the canopy to fit through.
fairly simple, just removing a couple bots.
Good luck with your projects. RUclips is awesome and start-ups can make a dream become a reality.
Price of one selling to someone in georgia? What kind of guarantee on parts? Do you have a spreadsheet of part numbers and parts prices? Thanks
Shipping to Georgia is about 800-1200 for heavy equipment, we offer a one year powertrain warranty. Our website groundhogequipment.com is helpful for parts and pricing
Great info Nick thanks!!!
You explained well that the parts are available. What about service if there is no dealer around? I’m about 1 1/2 hours from your dealer in CT.
Finaly, I can’t find used groundhogs for sale….. are they around??
Appreciate your effort!!! I was seriously looking at CFG’s but buy accident I saw your video and you guys are ahead on my list!!!…..
We're always adding to our network of dealers! It is difficult to find used groundhogs beacause we're a young brand and we produce durable equipment.
Ground hog excavator $15900.AGT QH13R fully enclosed and insulated from environment cabin $6900, but real price is around $4000.
Weight: Groundhog operating weight with rubber tracks 2200 lbs. AGT QH13R operating weight 2120lbs.
Now let's compare attachment prices. Got it?
I believe the Groundhog ZH12G with enclosed cab at $8,000 would more comparable to the OH13R. What attachments would you like to see a comparison?
So,what exactly are you say/selling?? Is your product custom built to your requests,OR simply a larger model with basic standard design differences nothing more? The two units compared are not of the same category in terms of capacity nor price.
Do you have distribution to Canada? Atlantic Canada specificly.
Yes we can get our machines there.
Good Luck with "GroundHog", Brother! Love to hear a fellow young American starting a proper business. Make that money off China - whether they're making money or not (They sure are obv).
Great video Nick!
Thanks!
The only difference is the $3800 markup vs what I can buy straight from your supplier.
Again... We've always made it known we purchase from a supplier in china then heavily modify and customize our units here in Middleburg, Pennsylvania
Washington state distributor? If not, how much to ship generally?
None in WA currently, We could get a 1 ton unit out there for around $1800
I appreciate these videos, but I am hoping at some point you can show in a video or better yet posts high resolution images of each model especially the operators platform, seat controls, distance between thighs and controls, foot pedals (actual) and the different maintenance access points on each model. As the customer will be spending hours of their time in the seat the layout and control and what one can expect are super critical to my making a decision on which model. Additionally, I have watched all your videos and still have no idea what models have under seat access versus back door access or screw panels? Where are fuel, oil and hydro fluid fill and check points on each model? All this seems to get rushed over in favor a sells pitch. Trust me I am sold, now just drill down into the details on each model with in depth and specific videos instead of jumping around. Thanks.
Thank you, as we release more videos, we'll be sure to cover those things!
yes sir
On my Bobcat 320, the hydraulic swivel that runs the tracks and blade Bobcat used a British pipe thread. The hydraulic shop couldn't get the correct fittings so I threaded in an American pipe hydraullic fitting and somehow it works. Even Bobcat even used a weird threading back then.
The British threads are confusing, and it makes getting fittings really confusing. Male bspt can be threaded into female bspt (Rc), bspp (Rp), or G (bspp plus face seal provisions). Because female G thread incorporates all provisions of bspp and and is comparable with bspt, you typically only see components with female G thread. It's a complicated mess. I think it's one of the dumber things I've learned as a pneumatics engineer.
@GMC.Sprint That does sound really complicated. They were female threads. I'm just surprised Bobcat used something like that.
How about the ume
What about Kymron excavators?
Whats the closest dealer to Central Illinois?
www.groundhogofwisconsin.com
Do you have a distributor in Oklahoma?
We do, They're Red's Premier Outdoor Equipment in Poteau, OK
Awesome thank you
Do a comparison with a kymron
We might just do that soon!
That’s a great idea… I’m pretty much looking at a Groundhog or a Kymron
I saw a video where a guy ordered a Chinese excavator and ended up with an extra $3K port bill that he wasn't expecting. It can be a risk importing it yourself.
This is true, It can also pay off if you have the resources and know how, but sometimes that isn't even enough
I got disappointed with groundhog because of this video.
Do all of your Excavtors accept Parker pumps?
Yes
This was good. But you miss some things in this comparison. Weights. Horse power. And most important prices!
Doesn't camera guy have a name
Yeah, it's Camera Guy ;) Hahahahah! I believe the one behind the camera for this video was Adam, but most of the people here have followed Nick around with the camera in hand.
is not the xn8 rhnioseres model best of the chinese diggers
Trash talk much. They are both chinese. If ypu really need more then go spend alot more and get quality
What model is that groundhog?
The ZH24D
