Just a quick note: I bought this kit from here. It arrived quickly, had everything I needed, and works great! As a bonus it was a reasonable price. Highly recommended.
Hey Cam, love the videos. Keep them coming. I have an FF12 mini and want to consider adding either quick connects or the diverter blocks to mentioned to operate a tilting bucket for ditching and grading work. What’s the most economical way to do this? I’m guessing quick connects? Next question: can you run a series detailing what accessories fit these machines? Hyd thumb, quick attach block, different buckets and rippers. What fits and what doesn’t? Appreciate all your videos! Keep it up!!
You are passing along some excellent information. I purchased a DLK and love it. Mod so for for me has been heat shielding, cooling fan, counter weight, and just added some height to the blade to "roll" material forward. Waiting to see what you come up with for a hydraulic thumb. Thats my next addition. Love your videos keep it up. Thanks
You are producing some great videos on these mini excavators. I would love to replace the solid link on my thumb to a hydraulic cylinder. I have the QH12.
I'm loving those flat face! I just messed with the auger for the first time and I think I need more then I have. AGT qh13r with the vicsec 9 piece kit. My machine has a 19mm and the hose has a 17mm. I took off what I thought was a cover for the male2male but it seems the whole m2m piece is a plug. I don't see any hose fittings in the kit and I can't attach the 17mm female hose to the 19mm hose on the machine. Also what goodies do you suggest I pick up from your store?
I watched the explanation about the 2 way and 3 way a couple of times and you've still lost me a little (sorry), so I'd like to clarify to make sure I'm understanding you correctly. I just got an AGT L12R and am in the processing of learning all the ins/outs and cool upgrades. It has an aux port available from the factory. I purchased and plan to add both a thumb and a tilting bucket. In the event I have both of these accessories attached/connected and IF I have a set of the "3 way" diverter blocks installed, technically I could still have use of both of these at the same time without having to adjust anything right? If it was only a 2 way diverter, then I would need to decide which implement I wanted to use, rotate the hex valve to that position and would only have use of that one accessory at a time. Am I understanding this correctly? If so, then the 3 way sounds like to way to go...but why would the 3 way still have the selector Hex valve? Is it because if you only had one implement actually hooked up in use, you could then rotate the valve to just that one and keep it from trying to send to both and leaking? In other words, "A" might be just the thumb because the tilt bucket isn't installed/in use and "B" might be when you have the tilt bucket on and you're potentially working with the thumb and tilt bucket. Welcome back from Deployment by the way. I'm retired Army, 22 years, 5 Combat tours! Glad you made it back safe, sorry to hear of the storm damage.
I used something similar on my mini excavator when I put the TMK 150 tree sheer on it! Crazy how productive these things are. You can see a video of my setup on my RUclips page!
quick question, why would a person not put 2 females on the boom and then put males on each attachments you want to use? The male ends are usually 1/3 of the price?
Farm tractors have all female couplings on the back, skid steer loaders have male / female set up. When you unhook your thumb, you can couple the male / female together, then hookup the auger. 6 of one half dozen the other.
Plus you would only want to selector valve the three-way thing he's talking about if it was electric cuz then you could switch between two controls without having to run a whole new valve off the hydrostatic line and your quick attach fittings are going to lose weight less fluid than your whole jackhammer post hole digger sitting on the floor with all the pre-charged fluid in it running out on the floor
Has anyone found a serial number or VIN # on these machines and where is it? I have to pay SMM tax here in CO for business use and they are requiring the serial or vin #

All installed and works great! All the couplers I needed were included. I bought another for my tilt bucket.

Ok great idea but your website says you are sold out ????

Looking at doing that on my QS12R
I'm loving those flat face! I just messed with the auger for the first time and I think I need more then I have. AGT qh13r with the vicsec 9 piece kit. My machine has a 19mm and the hose has a 17mm. I took off what I thought was a cover for the male2male but it seems the whole m2m piece is a plug. I don't see any hose fittings in the kit and I can't attach the 17mm female hose to the 19mm hose on the machine. Also what goodies do you suggest I pick up from your store?
another well done educational video. nice ring my brother ;-)
Appreciate that, brother!
Great video! Looking at Minis right now and I will be ordering from you. Thank you for having this stuff figured out already
Glad to help!

I second this question? any thoughts?

chase your tail finding proper fittings is right!
Outstanding, Again!!
Thanks again!
Sorry to ask such dumb questions but I just bought one of these and the owners manual has a lot to desire?
Yes it absolutely does

They usually are on tags on back of seat or labeled somewhere on the unit
@@thegarageconnection I pulled the seat sticker off. Haha. I would think it would be in the engine compartment. I’ll have a look tomorrow.
