I looked into importing a Chinese machine. I ended up importing a used Japanese machine, Much better quality. The thumb on mine at least lays all the way back against the stick. Don’t get me wrong I have had a few little issues. But I can get parts and have parts made way easier.

Thanks for posting this Gary, im looking into some 1 tonne machines and this was helpful to understand the process.

Nice lil excavator Gary. Appreciate the take along, neat experience.

Cant wait to see how he brush mulcher works on it

Rookie as forlift driver! Dont know why you where stressung for sec id be picking that up with my 2.8L ISuzu no dramas.. yor laughin in that big Rig ahah Cheers Mick (regular Australian rig)

I have big Cat excavators and all other types of heavy equipment. But this little unit may have its intended purpose. The DIY backyard guy. Ditches. Little pads. Tree cutting. Plumbers would love it. Off the shelf parts. Gas engine. Just go to a machine shop for little repairs. It's a platform machine for any kind of modifications. I'm north of Atlanta. Do you have an recommendations on how to buy one of these? To do it right and save money? Where was this import facility? Thanks for this video.

Hi Gary. Nice mini-ex. I purchased one last year... also a 1.5 Ton and still getting used to the sensitive controls. I'm interested in the bush cutter attachment. Did you get it from Nuoman also? If not, where? I subscribed and will be watching your videos. Thanks.

9k jeez not worth that at all, everybodys got their hand out in transporting anything I guess

These things are all over Facebook marketplace and local auctions for under $7K brand new. I'd never attempt to import one myself. Too much to go wrong and big fines if you screw up your paperwork etc. I'll let the dealers worry about all that.

How much for the excavator ?

Let us hear from you on how it is working out after six months or so. Nothing is like working experience to find any problems or good traits.

I have no idea how much this is, but man .. and I thought my kubotas are garbage... than I wouldn't have words for this one. I paid 33 out the door for 1.7 ton kubota with thumb, blade, retractable tracks (39-49 inches), 2 buckets and no other attachments...I'm not very happy with it but it works like mercedes compared to this. This thumb is on the way of everything! It needs to go up parallel to the cylinder! Freaking chinese! Can't make anything! Pretty sure it's under $10k though.

Also why i got necklaces in boxes from jamaica ny #chinaorchynna

I just did this at the same warehouse

Just give your money to charity, much better than buying a junk machine. 😢

Great video, you documented the whole process. Did they end up not charging the $50 for the ramp since the forklift brought the box to you?

Liar they moved everything....courtesy of #entourage and krusty the clown why lindsey put the clown picture in my hope chest parked the freezer truck across from the "school" gross misuse of budget when i could be doing good for people
