    The smile on Andrews face when he first drives it is priceless
  • Andrews laugh when it picks up the long log was gold i couldnt believe it was lifting it either
  • @Mocheesemoeugene
    You rarely ever see, Andrew get excited when on equipment, but that smile brought him back to when he was a little kid..❤
  • @cclsjhieber
    One of my favorite things to watch Andrew do is install culverts. His attention to details is incredible, and they look great when he's done.
  • It's great to see progress on the multi-bay garage (looking forward to THAT video series).. Happy 2024, Andrew!!!
  • If it lasts a season with Andrew in his environment it's a pretty capable machine. Obviously not doing big jobs, but great to have to go to smaller access-limited projects.

    I never thought I would be watching a one hour commercial for a mini excavator although I have to admit it was very impressive!

    Compared with $3k for the Harbor Freight towable backhoe, this seems like a much better buy and useful for many more things.

    Super excited for this video. Feels like ages. Happy New year everyone who enjoys this channel. Plus Andrew and Family .

    We had something just like this at one of my jobs. It rarely went out to jobs but when it did we were glad to have it. Its nice to have something that can get through a fence gate without having to disassemble the fence. They have their limitations but they can get some work done.

    I got a chery kv12, and it came with a quick attach, flat bucket, tooth bucket, and a grabber. I've bought a rake and a ripper. I absolutely love this thing for working around the property. The amount of work I've done to not have blisters on my hands or sore shoulders is incredible
  • @iflifewaseasy
    I'm 16 minutes in and convinced Andrew worked this harder than I ever would try. That company should give you every new product they make for such an amazing evaluation! Like for 4k, it's hard to explain NOT buying it!

    It's great to see you smiling, Andrew. There's nothing like a new toy to make a man happy. Great seeing a few mates helping each other out. Happy New Year Andrew. Mike 🇦🇺
  • Great video, Andrew. This is the first evaluation of lower priced excavators that was truly a test of what it can do and an honest assessment. I'm guessing the manufacturer is going to start marketing their machines as "Andrew tested." That'll spike sales. Noticed driving a different suv and the new equipment building is well underway. Videos on these? And the line of "little" vehicles in the garage?
  • @DrCadex
    Great content Andrew. We need to also know the story behind the LX470...I can see you getting a bump in subs if you do a video on it. The Land Cruiser/LX community is pretty big on YouTube.
  • @cdbfarm65
    Thank you for buying and testing this machine. I've been wanting one for my small farm and wasn't sure if they were worth the money. I kept thinking, if only Mr. C would buy one and test it. :) So, thank you!
  • @jacksun9999
    The fact that you can move it with a lawn mowing trailer and process fire wood has me sold on it.
  • @Sleekfalcon
    For a small unit, I think it would be fit for a homeowners unit. Cleaning ditches, doing water lines and such and you just demonstrated what it can do to small diameter trees. Obviously you're not going to go dig the grand canyon or push ridiculous amounts with the blade or lift for that matter but I quite impressed.

    Great little excavator, at first I thought it was a little more than a toy, but this thing is legit, it actually serves a real purpose, it’s so small and portable, and perfect for these little jobs. Awesome video Andrew.
  • Andy that was worth every penny of $4K. You might think of Fabing up a 3/8ths metal bracket to hold a counter weight, use plow pins to attach on the back. Mock one up out of cardboard for pattern to trace on the steel, cut with plasma machine, tac and weld it up.
