Hehe.. The NANO excavator for the kids :)

If Andrew ever has a kid, this will be his/her first toy.

like a kid bouncing around on his new toy

Andrew it is very surprising what that little thing can achieve I don't know the full potential but what I can see it's a good deal for four thousand dollars.

Andrew showing that it's not the size of the excavator that matters, but how you use it...

19:10 for anyone wondering 😆

I laughed out loud right after he did to. He was "Yeah! I like I got it!" 😂💪

I'm sure we all are! Andrew's just teasing us for the big unveiling of another Tadj Mahal next to his Castle 😂

@@laneericHeh true. Not to forget what he has planned to build on his mountain top! XD

Totally teasing us. And your right there is something coming on mountain top, he didn't do all that work and has portable work containers, Just to maintain his machines there for nothing. I'll bet something great is coming. I can see a bigger castle on the hill top coming soon. To pretty a place to just have a proper camping trailer up there. I feel a bunch of new videos coming. Ha! Ha! 😂❤

Can't wait!

It's also appropriately sized and priced for a homestead or for projects around a small farm.

It can go places that big ones cant go.

@@retro8696 big ones can go anywhere too, the H12 just leaves its surroundings intact :)

facts, for 4-5k it's hard to beat. to have some trails built + culverts + maybe some ditching would easily be 3-4k for 1 mile of trails after move-in costs.

season? LOL I am gonna be impressed if he gets 4 jobs out of it before he is welding things back on it and calling it a piece of junk!! He isnt the easiest on big strong heavy equipment, this little things days are numbered.....It does look handy for a homeowner that needs a little more than a shovel and rake though.

This is if you can find one for 4k new like he did. Here in the midwest am seeing many are trying to import and sell for profit, so asking 6k or more… too much for what it is. 4k is the most I’d pay. And probably would have gotten one already if I could find one at that price. Have a full size backhoe already but this thing can get into the spots, and even slow and weak can build single track trail or earn profit doing certain jobs and underpinning

Harbor freight, China. Junk.

It's all a trade off. There's nothing comparable to this so you can't even ask yourself if an alternative is a better value. The closest thing is a used Japanese excavator like Andrew said, which would take a lot of mechanical skill and know-how to keep operating as long as a brand new Chinese unit would. If you had that kind of mechanical skill already you might as well buy the best used excavators on the market and fix those up instead and now you're not even in the same ballpark as these mini machinery. Sometimes that extra $1k-$2k is worth it too, just to avoid all the headaches involved with trying to get Chinese exports through customs and into a US port. The political climate around US/China trade is making it a lot harder for normal people to do business in that arena. When you pay a middleman a little extra you're paying for convenience and a higher likelihood that you get your machinery on time in good shape without a week of being on the phone with people who don't care whether you get your Chinese product or not.

I agree even if I had to pay $5200 for this machine it would be worth it over the 3k Harbor fright rig.

I was thinking the same thing then I thought it would likely tip it over backwards unless he was always carrying a load close to the weight he pinned on to the back.

Love how clean that LX looks... and then the dogs jump onto the leather seats. 😂

That thing is worth $4 grand all day long.

I’ve never seen one for 4k tell me I’ll go buy

That thing beats the backhoe I have on the back of my JD4700. @@maximus297759

Nice, I should have bought some, they were all sold by the time I bid. I want one of those small loaders too.

​@@AndrewCamaratawhat small loader are you talking about? I would love to see ypu get a avant or giant wheel loader and show us how ypu like them

I paid almost that much for a *loose*TB007 and it doesn’t have a thumb. I know what I’m making once I get the slew motor back from overhaul.

I’ve had it for almost 15 years. It’s been a good machine but I’ve put it on its side once and beat the hell out of it

That’s pretty neat! I do think that someone with a lot of experience is going to get the most out of it, I would think that a weekend warrior could get in trouble on it…it looks tippy.

Andrew that isn’t what that little trackhoe was designed for. It want hold up very long as you well know.

Me too

guys a hack

​@@nickgibb4687What has your panties in a twist?

​@@nickgibb4687ok get out there and do better then. Let's see how good your work is

Dang! Like your avatar!

@@nickgibb4687doesn't know a thing about compaction

What country are you from cause it ain’t America

Ditto !! One of the best channels on Utube !!! 👌

Then he kept on disappearing amongst constant ads

Seems well worth the 4k

@@dano8335 Iraq

When he was clearing those branches I was impressed. Easily the work of many men in one machine.

@@tbrowniscool I have been waiting on a decent demonstration of these outside of the criticism of being a small unit. I'm considering one myself now. It would make a lot of things easier around my homestead considering that everything I do is by hand right now. And this place is a mess to say the least. He was moving trees most use bigger machines for. He actually put this thing to the test and it's limits are not what one would think they are. I want to get one while they're cheap. The more popular they become the higher the price will be.

@@SleekfalconYes they look great!

​@@Sleekfalconyeah try get it for 4k and you can't really lose

@@Sleekfalcon I was skeptical compared to immense and incredible stuff Andrew owns. So glad he got this little 4k tiny machine. It's a beast!

Need to find a water tank to put on the back as a counterbalance. That way its still light to transport

Hopefully Andrew adds a counter weight.😂

I've been saying they need to build one this size but heavier. Just make everything 50% thicker. A 1.7 ton machine in a 1.2 ton size.

@@gurueddy as I'm watching it I'm trying to think of different ways to add weight to lower part of the machine

​@@HighGearAutomotivea steel plate in the tracks on each side

If the blade stuck out a foot longer that would help out a lot

Lol, you're right.

That thing is small, but it's no joke. Carrying and pulling those huge logs was impressive!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣@@andyleo8418

Its for getting lots of Chicks! "Hey would you like to see my garage of luxury vehicles? I got a benz, lambo, hummer, Rolls Royce..." Would be funny to see a skit like cribs, but with all those mini cars.

Maybe Andrew is going to build off road power wheels like grind hard plumbing lol

Some of the models come with counter weights can’t remember which ones

Indeed. Home owners excavator. Odd jobs in the yard. Perhaps a landscaper. Not much else.

I bet counterweight would do well

​@@pmccoy8924I think that will be good for electricians and plumpers aswell for digging trenches. Not worth having a "real" excavator and renting takes too much time and money. If you can turn 4 hours with a shovel in to 1 hour with a chinese excavator it is probably worth it.

@@pmccoy8924 That's what I was thinking even a hobby farm .. save your back and a lot of time! :) doing small jobs. When I had my property I had an 1948 Case tractor with an old front loader. That was handy as HECK around the 100 acres we had!

Kinda like a clown car!

Andrew makes sure things are "Soldier Proof.".

Yeah I feel like something this size and for that price is more of a personal use on larger properties type thing. Equivalent to a really nice lawn mower, but for trees and digging lol.

Where do you get one?

@@ronhawkins8604 local auction i got mine. brand new, $1k less than ordering out of california

the brands aren't the same but chances are they're the same machine underneath

I noticed that too he’s always got cool rides that are reliable

Fat wood

You know the saying its more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow? Seems to apply to excavators too lol

Also he did the one thing a lot of people miss and mess up on these. They ship with a light break in oil that only is good for about 5 hours, because it is designed to catch all the metal shavings and crap as the engine bores in. When people leave it in, it tends to kill the engine.
