Chinese loader😳

[Mogman]

A pal of mine is thinking about getting one of them cheap Chinese tracked loader for grabbing logs for cutting and generally pissing about on his yard

Was looking at one of these
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/15680456...VRJVNC&hash=item248247c5d4:g:gtkAAOSwb0BnYCDO

Don’t get hung up on the seller as if he goes for one it may not be from there

For £3k not dear, the way I see it it’s metal that can me welded, rams that can be re rodded, and and engine that can be replaced, all if necessary

The only bit I’m concerned about is the track rollers/idlers

Was just wondering what you guys think

My thoughts are similar to yours! They look a lot better than the Chinese micro diggers.

Was discussed a bit here:

Loading small but heavy kit

need decent ground for an engine crane though Yeah and the clearance under racking etc for the legs

My main concern is that the only label I could see in a picture claimed 8.6hp. That will be underpowered for sure.

The fact that they have an oil temp gauge and a cooling fan suggests that they are not just thrown together. I like.

I'm half tempted to go and have a nosy as it's only 20 mins away.

Same with the one near me!

I was going to add my concern would be the lift ram coming loose and severing my leg, but it seems they have fitted a solution to this so all good

A lot of the cheaper Chinese machines only have direct drive track motors, rather than final drives, so don't like being over-loaded.

If you believe what a few YouTube videos show the tracks stretch very quickly and keep falling off
Whether this is true or whether it’s down to abuse is anyone’s guess.

Couple of wheeled options available aswell, some with a proper seat.
And somebody on here has a full blown mini loading shovel and seems to like it

 

[Lancs Lad]

I hate the fact it's chinese but a Vermeer equivalent would be £40k !!

Set of forks be handy and a tow ball, for the yard on wheels sounds interesting

I think the captok ones came from watts auction late last year, sold new, I think one or two mach pro ones turned up at Burnley auctions around the same time

There were loads of these Chinese skid steers at the last Euro auctions sale, both tracked and wheeled.

I have a little Bobcat 463 skid steer with bucket and forks etc. It weighs about 1.2te so is about the same size as the latest offering of Chinese machines. It is unbelievable useful for everything from shunting a trailer, lifting firewood to footing a ladder if it’s at a bit of a dodgy angle.

The forks are not much use as a workbench as the hydraulics sag with it being such an old machine but it is a invaluable lazy man’s wheelbarrow.

Everyone should have something similar

I hear you, but can't justify (to myself) £3+k on a wheel barrow

If you had one outside your house door in the morning you would step on to it and it would be so useful it would never be more than 10 paces away from you through the day.

without doubt ....
and I'd probably have to fight Pam for it frequently once she sussed it ....
I would still get the perpetual Q though --
" what do you want one of them for? "

The simple answer to that is you don’t need one……… you need two!!!!
