Jansen MB-300 review and demo

[Applause] [Music] [Music] so [Music] [Applause] [Music] okay well hey guys a while back i mentioned that i'm gonna make a separate video about this machine and today i'm doing this kind of nice day also weather is decent so let's see if we can make this video happen basically i'm going to talk about the ups and downs of this kind owning this type of machine and if you should buy it or if you're considering buying it maybe you don't want to buy it anymore or you want to buy it any wanna buy it we'll see anyway this is basically the cheapest excavator or trencher or tigger or whatever you want to call it on the market it's probably around three times cheaper than use at mini excavator on drax but this is brand new and let's use it so that's that uh i can only think really only one downside to this machine actually two downsides um we'll talk about the second later but the first one is it's obvious fault it's it's maneuverability it's not self-propelled you cannot turn it on the spot so you have to move the machine with its boom and that can come up a bit annoying if you have a lot of work to do or a lot the dig out but the second item is it doesn't have a auxiliary hydraulics on it so not sure if it really needs one but for me i think that's a negative overall i think uh it's pretty decent the engine is fine for its size i think it's like six horsepower or something the pump is a bit slow in my opinion but you can swipe that out anytime if you really want um but actually i don't really use it on full throttle most of the time so maybe that's that probably and the upside for this machine is that it can actually work on any or almost any surfaces i mean on slopes on level grounds on whatever for example i could probably kind of go down here take a trench here if i needed to be but if you go here with a normal excavator you was just gonna roll over you cannot really dig here especially a mini one maybe a 20 ton excavator but fine here but yeah that's like 10 times at least 10 times or 20 times more than this machine and the second upside is that you can go to places that you cannot go to with a normal excavator for example uh a while back i went to into a swampy forest to dig a little drench um i was pretty much [Music] deep in mud i think mod was like somewhere here i couldn't really see these or the cylinders or whatnot but i managed to get my excavator out of the mod with under its own power i didn't really need any backup from the tractor or whatnot so that was really impressive for me that it could kind of operate in such such rough conditions and so if you own a small land let's say like i don't know 10 acres or 20 acres or something like that and you want to really mess around with digging and whatnot then i would really recommend this machine it's cheap you don't really use it that much i think but if you need to dig something it's really handy to have and yeah basically i have a couple of stumps here that i'm gonna try to pull out one is here and this is pretty much rotten i think this will not be an issue but the other one is a bit a bit tougher i think uh i made some upgrades to the machine uh right off the uh after i bought it first i changed out the dryers on the rear the original dryers that it came with were about the size of this rim and that was really really very i would say this i was not happy with that because uh about couple of times i pushed the tire of the rim we're not on this tower but original tires and after pulling out up about two times i kind of got fed up with it and i i had these small actually car wheels i'm not sure where they're from but i had them the center hole did not match very correctly but i made it a bit bigger so luckily the bolt holes all matched nicely uh and yeah these tires are a lot bigger better because they first they raise raise the machine of the ground about 10 centimeters which is which helps a lot uh to protect that under cylinder because usually it was always kind of stuck in ground somewhere and i didn't really like it i think that wears the cylinder down if it's always in the dirt and to counter this lift i made the front arms on a different angle as you can see i basically got them off here and then added some kind of mass of steel here and then tilted this a bit more to the ground so it lifted up the front end also and as you can see now the cylinder is nicely off the ground i think before it was somewhere here so you could kind of get a rock here or something and that could really ruin the cylinder i think there's even no that this is fine and i also added a thumb here that hump is not here right now because i don't really need it basically just builded some steel on this uh arm and the thumb goes here and i used it to lift some rocks and logs i'm kind of amazed at how much this machine can lift i mean this machine weighs around i think like 500 kilos or something that's half a ton metric ton but it can lift with its spoon if it's close to the machine it can lift about 800 kilos so more than the machine weighs so that's really interesting so yeah okay let's see how this sticker kind of messes up this long stump and okay [Music] [Music] [Music] so so [Music] [Applause] [Music] okay well that was easy i said it was pretty rotten i think there's one more here yeah there's something here so i see how this goes [Music] actually i'm gonna find some something to put the camera on [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] okay let's see if we'll see the other stump so walk there now [Music] okay so this is a bit bigger boy it's a birch stump so it seems solid it might seem like it's rotten but actually it's pretty solid probably need to dig around it's a bit slightly okay well i we're gonna hop here [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] that was actually pretty pretty easy i would say the ripping force on this pocket is pretty impressive actually as you can see the sprockets kind of dig it into the ground pretty harshly and now and consider if this was not a very good surface like it would be mud or something then it would kind of disappear under the ground i would say right now i use this machine to transport actually i use uh to transport this machine with my atv right here uh i need to turn the switch off or i'm gonna have a date battery soon and it's working out great right now because if i need to take the digger to the forest or whatnot then it's really good to transport it with the atv as you can see it kind of messes up the ground a bit if you walk on it down it's not anything uh very bad but yeah it leaves marks on the ground slight marks and okay i think uh i think pretty much this kind of shows this what this machine is capable of ticking wise it can be pretty deep actually i think it's like 2.2 meters that you can deal with this machine on a mini excavator or what do you call them micro excavators you can only take about 1.5 meters i think so if you want cheaper cheaper excavator that can deep digger that can deep digger probably has more ripping force also than a normal mini micro micro excavator then you should probably get this machine i do have one technical issue with this machine and what do you call them the hydraulic this thing um yeah i'm i'm not sure right now how to say this but i think this is this is actually leaking slightly somewhere i i opened all these boards up and made sure that these were not leaking but i think the main oil is kind of coming from between the blocks because i think this is kind of bolted together with three bolts and it consists of one two three four different blocks uh hydraulic shifters i think they're called so it's coming from somewhere between the blocks so i need to kind of if i have time i need to figure out where it's coming it's not coming around a lot as you can there's kind of small drips coming off hydraulic reservoir is fine no needed to add any more oil to it and yeah that's pretty much it and if i can't find any more stumps to dig out then this is the end of the video okay thanks for watching i guess
