No problem! And if there’s something I didn’t cover feel free to reach out. I was pretty disappointed with the machine. I’m a big Jcb skid steer fan too.. It would be great for a landscaper or odd job sorta machine. But for excavation it’s not quick enough. That’s kinda what it comes down to.
I understand it isnt difficult to wire up the 14 pin plug. But It doesnt even have the proper switches or even places to Mount switches in the cab. I believe with more power it would definitely be a better machine!
These are the machines you leave around your house, while the good equipment is out on the jobs, you’ll notice these machines are rarely if ever seen on construction sites, the allure of these is they are like a mini backhoe, but backhoes are a thing being replaced by skidsteer, and mini excavators.
That was my plan for it. A backup machine. But in all honesty it was not even very well suited for that for me. It didn’t have a great lift capacity and the backhoe was kinda useless to me. I have enough excavators that there’s always one around the shop
It would be handy if you could only buy one machine! But for me I needed it to do more skid steer work and being it won’t work with a few of my most used attachments it wasn’t gonna fit in for me!
My old boss had one of the first generation of these on runner tires , we hated it 😂 the 2 ( let's call them BIGGER operators ) got stuck after swiveling the seat around and the backhoe was essentially useless .... it was so fast at idle you could fly fish with the friggen thing !! Hopefully this thing is better than the jcb "minimaster" I had the horror of running lol oh yeah anything under 65 degrees it didn't have a chance of starting without a propane bullet heater on it for an hour and the machine only had like 250 hours on it 😂😂😂
Haha sounds like a real gem! This one I felt was too slow to respond! It did start good on colder days. I’d say they made some improvements but not sure it’s a whole lot better!
@AbramsExcavating yeah that machine looks heads and tails above the "minimaster " if you want a good laugh look them up im almost positive it was called a "minimaster 208" 😂😂😂 it would show up on a job and the guys would just start shoveling they knew it was going to be no help whatsoever 😂😂
Yea I feel like it was pretty bare bones with the dash too. The But at the same point there wasn’t much room up front for the dash. I would have like to see More gauges
That’s interesting! You would think they might be more Common over there. They are a bit light for excavating work. Would Be good for landscaping or property maintenance

Been waiting on a in depth review thanks for the upload

It’s really easy to wire that up for the attachments.
If they made this a little bigger with 80hp I’d definitely buy one.

thanks for showing what this machine is like . i found it intresting but im not giving up my backhoe. Thanks
Yea this machine has its place but I don’t blame ya! A standard backhoe is pretty handy!
@@AbramsExcavating for the right person this could be the perfect machine
Definitely!
This is a backhoe.
Looks like a handy little machine
It would be handy if you could only buy one machine! But for me I needed it to do more skid steer work and being it won’t work with a few of my most used attachments it wasn’t gonna fit in for me!
Those 1cx usuaalky come with a 5in1 clam bucket and forks like it's bigger brothers
Yea I could see a 5 in 1 bucket being good on this. The one it comes with is pretty useless!
A snow blower attachment and larger snow bucket on the rear. Alaskans may like it.
Yea I could see that for
Sure!

The shorter bottom bucket is to increase the curling ability of the machine too because it's so limited

You know it’s bad when guys grab a shovel over a machine!! I’ve seen the 208s here. Never ran one though!
I've wondered what that would do
They are terrible machines but definitely not for me!
Seems wrong not to have the Dash Upfront somehow
Yea I feel like it was pretty bare bones with the dash too. The But at the same point there wasn’t much room up front for the dash. I would have like to see
More gauges
What are you asking for it?
I sold it for $57500
What is that unusual looking quick coupler on the backhoe I’ve never seen one before
It’s a mechanical quick coupler. Normal pin grabber. It’s a bit more of a euro design but same concept
@@AbramsExcavatingIs that 13.5% of the new price
I have no idea haha. I bought it used for $57,000 after tax. So I was able to cover my costs.
1cxt är nog lite liten för mig men ser användbar ut… dom finns knappt här i Sverige

Yes those hydrant backhoes look like pretty big machines! Really neat how they operate aswell!
