I have an AGT, i ordered some attachments from these guys and they took care of me like i bought a machine from them. Great people to deal with. I plan on getting the 45 from them next year.

@lastfrontier6536 8 ай бұрын

That is an incredible price point! Gonna have to think long and hard between a 23, the 14s, or these new 12s.

Could you turn the music off?

@sz4179 5 ай бұрын

Omg. Can't hear over the music. What a waste. Really wanted to learn about this

Fantastic review. I could see the quality just by looking at the website. These videos have only supported my gut instincts. I intend to make contact after I do a bit more research into the model which will best suit my needs. Keep up the good work.

Excited to see if we can make a deal work on the 40 or 70! Nice video Nick.

I have learned a lot of information from Nick on mini excavators.

Good to hear! He doesn't sugar coat anything and usually lays it all out in simple terms that most can understand.

I've seen similar units to these at a local auction. Most go for near to more than the price on this video. Add the buyers premium and you wind up paying much more. Also there's no warranty whatsoever from the auctions.

Went to Groundhog of Texas looking at 12s and 14s. Frank is an incredible person. I didn't see a filter on ZH12Gas I recall. Does it have one?

@groundhogequipment 3 ай бұрын

It does have oil and hydraulic filters

@martinwright2636 8 ай бұрын

I bought a zh24d recently and one of the best purchases I have made in awhile. Do you all plan on building any sit down tracked skid steers? Something compatible to like a 239 cat

@groundhogequipment 8 ай бұрын

No plans for sit down skids currently, but we never say never.

is there a hydraulic filter going to the oil cooler? or any room to put one in?

@groundhogequipment 2 ай бұрын

There is an inline hydraulic filter to the oil cooler

@nyycanseco33 7 ай бұрын

Can you put attachments on the boom like the post hole digger and others like the 14 and higher models can do?

@groundhogequipment 7 ай бұрын

Yes all the same attachments would work on this machine.

@nyycanseco33 7 ай бұрын

Great, thank you for the quick reply.

@jamesferrell9404 5 ай бұрын

Will all the main parts like pumps and hydraulic motors work on a QH12 mini excavator? Incase I need those

@groundhogequipment 4 ай бұрын

Most parts would function on a QH, if not you can usually make modifications

On the BH 14 G Pro , which tracks do you recommend Rubber or Steel !

@groundhogequipment 7 ай бұрын

Really depends, What do you see yourself using it for?

@barneyfelix6984 3 ай бұрын

what about Briggs and Stratton going under (closing shop) should we still look at this with this engine?

@groundhogequipment 3 ай бұрын

If B&S were to stop producing engines, the simple setup of these machines allows for other engines to be installed fairly easily.

@user-zs4cw6sc4d 5 ай бұрын

Do these have a fan? Does the back open up? Does it have hydro filter?

@groundhogequipment 5 ай бұрын

They do have a fan, no rear hatch but the seat folds up for access. They do have hydro filters, the toolbox will come with an extra too.

The cheaper unit will not have the thum hydraulic hoses. My HT10b is in the same weight class as this. I order parts from groundhog when I need parts

This is what I'm looking for bottom line what is the price of this unit if I pick it up the way you have it set up

@groundhogequipment what's the price going be on them than? Also been considering the one with the side swing. Wondering if they dig any deeper or has anyone ever broken the boom mounting brackets off the cab on any of these

How deep will this model dig?

@groundhogequipment 8 ай бұрын

The max digging depth is 5' 6"

I'd like to get my hands on one for 3 or 4 days at home and see what it does.im about 3 hours from winston salem,if yall ever need to do some real world testing tell Ole driver to drop one out on his way to winston salem from Pennsylvania. I could tear up a anvil with a rubber hammer ,so I could give yall some extenuating circumstances testing 😂.

4:21 Well I tell you I’ve been trying to buy one of these for the past eight days I’ve got nothing but the runaround I’m not hating I’m just stating the fact I’ve called North Amberland and I got phone calls back from Middleburg talk to a young lady she told me that Nick was on vacation call back again got a young man he referred me to a Michigan dealership got phone calls back from Schoolcraft Kalamazoo in Richland told me that he could get one I asked to get the serial number haven’t heard back from him yet so I don’t knowIf this is really true or not great video but when I asked if I could get the $690 deposit back if something went wrong he said no so I would be careful again I’m not hating I’m just wondering why there’s videos like this and you can’t even buy one

@nicholasproietto2500 7 ай бұрын

You need to be patient friend. It's most likely you're not their only potential customer. You're probably in their pipeline, you just need to give them time. They'll get around to you. I'd give them several weeks at a minimum 8 days is a lot to you, but for all you know they might have a 3 month or more back load
