For more info on the KYMRON check out Microtrackhoe.com or Parsleyequipment.com.

You’ve addressed many of my concerns I had with purchasing Chinese equipment. Most importantly getting replacements parts within the US. Like you said the rest is just steal and hoses. I have a small farm and this machine can be very useful for what I need.

I just got access to some FL land and now I getting all these tool vids. Good info.

Oh so strong. looking forward to the rental details.

Very entertaining video with a great theme. I have a Groundhog unit from Hackenburg Equip in PA. At about 1.5T with a 20 HP rated diesel it specs out much like your Kymron as for reach and digging depth. And yes it too is from China with upgrades. I chose no swing boom as just another wear point for me. I bought from him for same reason you bought from someone, they deal with import issues. A KZfaqr, B&M Excavating, works his 14HP gas unit doing many, many projects.

Great info, thx for all the details.

Teeth backwards help with friction when digging. Not much but on a small machine it helps. In some conditions like clay. No expert. But ive done it with r/c machines and it helps

A good idea is to put a ram guard on the hydro ram at the start of the boom, to stop the bucket hitting the ram. A good investment, and get used to straighten them out, you'll be doing a lot of that.

I'd recommended replacing the hour meter. You can get ones that sense if the engine is running via a wire wrapped around the spark plug lead, or given your electrical skills, have the meter be keyed off the oil pressure. My concern with the way it is now is that if you're going to use a standard rental model where it's some dollar amount per day, those days are usually based on 8 operating hours per day, then a per hour rate. If someone leaves the switch on, there might be a dispute over how many hours were used, and it's also going to skew your maintenance schedule. Looking forward to the rental info. I've kind of thought about doing something similar. Problem is I'm limited by a 7500lb tow weight without upgrading the truck, and I'd still need to buy an equipment trailer.

It's nice that it comes in innovative high viz black.

Really enjoy all your videos I like everything you put into them. I do like watching "MACHINES" work. Hope to see more work with the mini excavator as time goes and see how the rental thing pans out. I live pretty close to Muskogee so I am tempted now. Thanks

Man, you really missed an opportunity with "One Ton Unit." That's ok, I had plenty of sixth grade jokes floating around in my brain. 😂

Well. That went just about as well as a screen door on a submarine. L O L Briggs & Stratton isn’t allowed in my garage.😂

I see... So you're saying sometimes having a 'small package' isn't always a bad thing... Got it. 👍🍻

I really like your humor. Reminds me of Dick Van Dyke. I have an intro/ press that like button idea. Remember when the coyote was chasing the roadrunner. There would be a painted tunnel on the wall. When he ran into it, he would get flattened. Having the keystone girl (lady) put a thumbs up button on the wall. Then you’d run and get flattened. Funny. Maybe I’m not saying this right. Anyway. Hope all is well.

Great video. I picked up a 2 ton groundhog last summer with a 24hp Kubota diesel. The bucket teeth are upside down in my opinion but I haven’t got around to flipping them like you did because I figured I was missing something. Please let us know if you find any problems with them being flipped. Also I’ve been waiting to see what you came up with for hydraulic quick connects to cleanup the boom on your larger machine for the grading bucket. I added some hydraulic quick connects to mine but don’t love the way it came out. Its okay but I had to use quite a few adapters to make it happen.

Lol, the first thing I noticed is bolts where the pins should go?

I had a Kubota mini X for 3 years, a U25, and I sold it after I got (I thought) all my projects done. One thing about these small machines, obvious i guess but when stored in a building they take up very little room, as compared to my Kubota tractor anyway. A great explanation here, I am getting tempted, again. I also sold my 14' dump bed trailer, another regret!

Kyle, I'm a little confused on your what you're plan is, ... are you are going to rent the mini mini to the public without you being the operator on their job site? Or, are you going to be hauling the equipment on your own trailer and operating the mini mini?

The upside down "machine", classic. Your right about importing headaches. Ive imported a lot, and it can be a pain. Also tariffs fees have skyrocketed shortly after 2017 Jan 20th.

More good info, thanks!

Great video. Keep up the great work.

Thanks for info

I would be interested in the process of insuring and renting machines. Maybe a little business venture one might consider.

Hello Kyle. Great video with a lot of good information on the machine. Take Care. Clint

Why hasnt Parsley Equipment ordered a nice multi-layer steel sign .....

Awesome as always

Love watching videos on these little machines. My wife on the other hand doesn’t lol I been talking bout buying one now 😂

Another great video, Brother! I so want a mini (and a skid steer, and a loader...I guess I'm still a big-ass kid!)!

Just an idea... I have 16 inch bucket for my TYM backhoe. I got a 9 inch trenching bucket for it and it seems to dig stump roots and rocks easier. Also an option for folks renting it as I'm sure alot of them will be using it for pipes and trenching. Keep up the vids, Brother!!

Great video 👍

I’d call that grading attachment “the Brazilian”

Looks very similar to my Groundhog 14G-2. Wondering, I havent taken mine down a steep slope yet so for Groundhog, dont know if it has a brake valve to keep it from free-wheeling down steep slopes. Have you confirmed whether the Kymron has or does not have a brake valve to keep it from freewheeling?

Wow, what a great video! Thank you so much. I learned a lot and it was funny in some places. Cool video!

Die Zähne am Löffel sind bei den chinabaggern immer auf der falschen Seite angebaut, so wie du die angebaut hast sind die Zähne richtig

Thats a nice machine

I find these very interesting but there’s a couple of things that I consider a problem…. The blade on the front doesn’t stick out far enough, four more inches would be good, it will make it more stable. The roll over protection is woefully inadequate from a safety perspective…. It can be fixed with a few extra crossbars welded in place. This one is well equipped and the thumb makes it much easier to pick something up, one modification to that would be to have a switch on the right hand main joystick like a normal excavator. I still think it’s interesting, thank you for taking the time to put together this video, it was very helpful. Be blessed.

Good job

I love your intros

I thought I saw somewhere that the bucket actually digs better with the teeth the way they were. Would be nice to confirm that. Also, I wonder if a 1.5 ton with the extending tracks would be the optimal compact mini excavator.

when will we see videos on the rental agreement plans and insurance? Love the videos man.

I enjoy the intros. Oh without using the floor mat maybe go to HF and get some stick on grip tape

I designed backhoe and loader buckets for Cat in the 80's. All of the teeth angled the way you changed them to. I'm not sure why they would put them on upside down, unless I'm missing something.

Gm funny as always

That Kymron xh26d is a decent looking excavator, but for $29,900 that's high imo for anything built by China.

Always comical!!!

you better off price wise to buy this than a backhoe attachment for your tractor!

Works better than a shovel

You can order one from China for $3600, delivered and all. Just finished talking to them a week ago.

What degree of slope can it climb and go sideways on without tipping on its side. Looks like I would make a wider track for traction and stability. You could make custom tracks with your plasma table and some 3/16 plate and new rollers. Then you also would have the option for some spring loaded suspension for the center rollers. that would help with traction when you go across a rock or limb or anything that would hicenter a track. you could sell kits for it. It looks like so much fun to operate. You're my favorite channel on KZfaq. KEEP DOING THE GOOFY STUFF AND HAVE FUN. Life is too short to not have all the fun you can. That kymron makes me think I could buy it as a toy for me but justify it by saying is a useful peace of equipment That I could make money with. LOL Well have a wonderful day.

Nice Job buddy! Don’t stop the silliness now!😅 The Karen’s will always look for stuff to complain about! 🚜🙌💪🇺🇸

Personally I like the humor.

Teeth are correct how you have them. Same way the teeth on my takeuchi mini ex, mahindra tractor, amd new holland skid steer are installed from the factory.

Good video!

Web site has the prices, now that is a great starting point. They need to be painted in WHITE. Black is way to hot. Aridzona starts at 100 degrees in the summer. They need a dealership in Aridzona. That is the machine I'm looking to buy, but not in Black. US aircraft have used flush type grease fitting for decades. Image if the USA went metric decades ago. Great video, your a very good spokes person, Voice is clear, information is clearly communicated You can drive them into your home operate them with the windows closed, Until you pass out. You got the teeth upside down, the reason is to allow the dirt to flow out easier.. The teeth as you have them retains more dirt. Even using round head bolts would be a plus in inside the bucket.. I plan on using this machine to remove Mesquite trees, and put them into a wood chipper. For the price , I think it is a very fair price. WHITE PAINT JOBS!

You can be stupid AND funny. 😉 Slapstick is one of the most pure forms of comedy. Carry on. 😄

My yanmar 20 is almost to small.?? I tryed to take a maple out. I didn’t get 6 inches before nothing . . I can barely take big furs out. 6 foot deep. 6 hours 😮

I have a Chinees tractor. I caught hell with customs over the sticker on the engine, Kohler diesel, CBP says the sticker must be on the rear of the engine, which it was, but wheel loaders mount the engine rear forward. It cost me several grand to have Kohler come out place a sticker on the FRONT of the engine before they'd release it. Hydraulics are standard European, easy to get. Chinees hydraulic compression fittings are by far the BEST hydraulic fittings I've ever used, but are hard to find locally, anywhere in the US so get use to ordering adaptors in case a hose pops you can use standard hoses. That machine looks like it only has 3/8 & 1/2 in hoses so a couple NPT to Compression fittings is all you need in an emergency to pick a standard hose from a local shop and fit it. NPT, BSP & Metric pipe threads are similar but different. If it's on pumps or valves it'll be BSPP, cylinders will be metric, trust me I'm saving you a lot of frustration

missed opportunity for a "machine" shots counter

Someone needs to make a brush cutter for these things.

Kimron add a fan to the engine compartment.

It’s worth it…….you made me laugh

Always funny.

I’m between the XH20D and the XH26 that you have any thoughts on the 20 series diesels ?

Have you had any problems with it? I know that particular unit doesn't come with a oil cooler. But ill be finding out soon as I just got one i should be getting it first part of may i was told btw thanks for the videos as it helped me decide that I wanted one

I liked

How long will the hydraulic pumps and motors last?

The intros make me chuckle. haha

Those teeth upside down would play havoc on your OCD! I agree tho you have it set up. What I would say is the correct way. Hey I missed the spicer buck tooth video 😢

I've seen a few videos about long term ownership of these chinese mini excavators. What irks me the most about these machines isn't with the mechanics and hydraulics, but with the boom itself. I have yet to see one of these that won't get really sloppy after only 50-100 hours on it. Are the Kymron specced with hardened bushings?

These things are cheaper than the backhoe attachment for my tractor. 😢 Maybe time to sell it for one of these.

I purchased a MMS13 . And I am very happy that an AMERICAN COMPANY HAS GOTTEN INTO THE MINI EXCAVATOR BUSSNESS....I am looken for an AUGER attachment my my EXCAVATOR any ideas....

I'm with you, I've seen other you tubers videos, that got their machines directly. The cheap price almost doubled. I would rather deal with a dealer in the U.S. I have a Y H 14 on order. Ron and Adam are great to deal with. I like your videos, help to sell me on them. Se if they will give you a commision?

Well done. Think a 6'5" dude could fit in that "machine"?

Would be a lot more compelling if they had a flat rate for shipping, or handled shipping on their end instead of dumping it all on the customer once they have their money.

small enough to fit under a Christmas tree!!!

Trailer...what type...how much. Machine entry price could easily be doubled or more by the cost of the trailer!

I watched you use this right after you brought it home. Man, I think they are a little too small! You almost came out of the seat trying to take down some saplings! The larger one you purchased seems like a much better rig. I'd be afraid to rent the small one!

ahh the machine??

Can you get armrest controls?

You cant have too much grease... Thats true,,,,,

Likkkey pressed good video the falling is a bonus. Keep it up oh I am talking about the videos for real does everyone have their mind in the gutter I know I do LOL.

Not a bad looking unit. If I was going to invest in a digger of that size range I would prefer to buy a Kubota over this. Just because the engine is American made doesn't mean it's better. Kymron should have chosen Honda, Kohler or Kawasaki instead of Briggs. There's a reason why Briggs and Stratton is often called "Breaks and Scrap'em" Also, that particular engine is a Honda clone. There are other American engine companies that make to regulations and those include LCT, Kohler and Champion. Heck, I would probably pull the Briggs, sell it and put a Honda, Kohler or another Chinese clone in its place. As you can probably tell, I have had mostly negative experiences with Briggs and Stratton. If the US started was using SI units, you wouldn't have to convert everything from a simple metric-based system to the archaic (even the UK doesn't officially use it anymore) Imperial. Also, Kg is pretty easy. One kilogram is equal to 2.2 Earth pounds. I say Earth pounds as Kilograms are actually a unit of mass and pounds is a measurement of weight. Weight, which is a force, usually takes mass and multiplies it together with acceleration (in this case, roughly 9.8m/s/s, Earth's gravitational acceleration)

I'm curious how an agt machine holds up to renting.

Quick question how much you think that machine can be rented for per day . " Boll Park"

So K&R sells Kymron excavators and the owner is named Ron. Is his wife named Kym?

That is an awesome looking machine and I’m sure it is fun to use.

Not trying to sell it to me?! Then why do I want it! 😂

great video! did you finance? im looking to buy one from ROn!

I'm 2min into this and I want to thank you for the laugh it made the day better

Hey man im still having trouble setting up rotary in lightburn or something im doing is wrong can you help me out its still crashing hate it just wanna do some friggin tumblerz "its always the tumblerz"

Hows it holding up so far? I’m looking at ordering one

What were you doing to that poor roof? Lol

Need a wider foot print...or outriggers

Where can you order one of these mini excavator at

Machine

Only thing I don’t like is where the thumb lever is, you damn near need 3 arms now😂😂 and great move on changing the teeth!

better than what? Definitely better than having to use a shovel, but not much else.

How deep can it dig? Ty

Can you get it with a Honda motor?
