@jeffklein602 Ай бұрын

Good info here. You need to develop a process with less handling. Like tossing the splits into a tractor bucket rather than just another pile on the ground, which you have to lift and move. Think minimum lifting. As a 70 year-old guy with a sketchy back, minimizing lifting is a priority...

Your going to learn to love those 2 in 1 sharpeners. I own 3 and won't go in the woods without them. As for the mini, definitely not the right size for a wood yard. But I must say, everytime you run it, it impresses me. I'm actually shocked at what all you have lifted with it.

@SpicerDesignsLLC Ай бұрын

It definitely has the power. And i am glad i bought that sharpener. Does a great job.

That chain looks like it could be sharper 😉 My little 14” stihl is like a hot knife through butter.

@OldIronAcres Ай бұрын

Kyle, could you cut some teeth with a "machine" into the side plates that look like they are bolted into the bucket? Maybe that would help with grip holding up a tree trunk in the air to cut? This is a great video, as I'm sure people would try to do this kind of thing with the excavator on a property. Best, --J.Andre. / Old Iron Acres

@byronmill Ай бұрын

The issue of the hydraulic circuits leaking down pressure will be the same whether the engine is running or not. The clearance between the bores in the directional control valve body and the spools (the part of that moves inside the valve body) precision ground clearance fit that is metal to metal. Due to design and operational limitations o-rings and/or seals cannot be used internally between the porting of the valve body and the lands on the spool. Therefore some bypass leakage is always going to be present. In higher end and more expensive machines check valves are incorporated in the circuit to block the circuit and eliminate the potential for that bypass leakage. Those components in their added expense and complexity are not viable in an inexpensive piece of equipment like this.

People probably need to realize that these Chinese machines are basic machines but if you have some mechanical ability some tinkering around you can make them run pretty well the hydraulic thumb not being one the joy stick makes bonkers especially when you are use to running bigger machines alot of times they set pressures low another cool informative video especially on the bypass valve I think increasing the bypass pressure would help with the hold material

might want check the relief pressure of the auxiliary, could be why the thumb is not clamping as you think it should. also there is a cussion valve you can add that will help smooth it out some. well if you are selling my comments are not worth what you paid for them.🤣😜

ethanol fuel is the only way to go in small engines period !!! i also like to use the true fuel end of season ... ethanol fuel kills the needle and seats in carbs...and as you stated non ethanol runs cooler and i also use that style fuel can from racing jet skis , i have the clear looking one .. people always remark on what it is and why i use that instead of red😂 I DONT CARE im the only one using them. any way nice video as always your a mans man for working in the heat like that and still doing a video for our entertainment 😊

You should have driven the excavator closer to the wood splitter before cutting the logs. You have added an extra step of having to pick up the cut rounds and carry them to the splitter.

Hey Kyle, good video. IMO a machine that small makes me cringe lol. I guess it has its use but I would never buy anything less than a 2-1/2 ton machine.

Really the flag is fine on the sleeve. The Boy Scouts wear the flag the same way and it is because the “leading” flag is a military thing and the scouts can not be referred to in that manner. So theirs are the traditional way on the right sleeve.

@@SpicerDesignsLLC Not a "military" thing, but dictated by the Flag Code. The union always faces forward in the direction of travel. Look at the right side of any commercial airliner, same thing. If the Boy Scouts are wearing it with the union aft, they're wearing it wrong. Bonus "military" misconception: 24-hour time. It's pretty much the global standard; the 12-hour clock is US civil and not much else.
