@steelandfeels: So many feels... Fuck every shipping agent that punted this delivery while scraping profit off the top. Your industry is broken. The hydraulic hoses alone on this thing would cost $4000 in the states. The weight in steel is worth another $5000. A comparable John Deere would be $45,000. My only conclusion is that China is taking a loss on manufacturing in a long game plan to corner the global market. Their energy is cheaper, therefore mining, manufacturing, transportation are cheaper. There is no red tape, everyone is employed. China has installed a United States worth of solar over the last 18 months through Central Planning. We achieved our fossil fuel dependency through Central Planning by subsidizing war. If we're going to save face as a Country, we need abundant and cheap sources of renewable energy to power manufacturing, and automation if no one wants to work. End rant.

They shit those ac units without Freon, find a local mobile heavy mechanic and they’ll be able to fill it pretty cheap, under those control joysticks there should be four 3/4 inch tall “nubs”, get some rubber fuel line that’ll fit around those and cut it to the same length maybe a little shorter and helps with the “jerky” controls. They’re handy machines but definitely need tweaking

I just landed mine, it’s a 15 horse gas engine. They do need a few upgrades right out of the gate. But for the price, yes it’s better than a shovel!

Doing a pre-maintenance inspection, draining and replacing all the liquids before actually using it is a pro move though.

Rentals are the way to go especially because unless you have a lot of work it doesn’t pay to have to fix a machine you only need for a few projects. Rental for a mini ex for 3 days usually less than 1000$ and if something breaks you don’t have to fix it

For comparison, the Caterpillar 6090 FS is the world's largest production hydraulic mining shovel, weighing 1,102 tons with a 52 cubic meter bucket capacity and dual 4,500-horsepower engines.
