    These machines look fantastic. I worked in landscaping for many years and 6 hour is plenty of run time for a 8-10 hour workday (machines never run all day straight). These would make the jobsite so much more comfortable (diesel engine really cooks you in the summer).
  • Those are impressive. The landscape industry needs a mini skid steer that can carry a pallet of landscape pavers through a gate for backyards.

    Micah great job on leading the charge on the electric revolution! I was an out of shape middle aged dude then I stumbled across some of your videos. I got an e-bike and use it as my daily commuter snow or sunshine. I've dropped 3 pant sizes, have more energy, but I'm still middle aged. I also have a few years experience operating diesel loaders and look forward to trying a Neshar loader!

    Incredible what we could do here on our 5 acres with just the smaller loader and a few attachments. This is a great review, and your dad's property is the perfect demo site. I'm sold. Thanks.

    I purchased a 3,000# mini excavator from china at the end of last year. I am quite pleased with my purchase. I got mine from a company named VOTE Machinery. I got the VTW-18S with an enclosed cab, Kubota D209 diesel engine, and a hydraulic thumb. I have made a few upgrades, but the tractor is very sound in it's construction and easy of operation. My favorite feature is the enclosed cab. Next is the expanding track width (40" to 48"), which allows back yard access through a standard sized fence gate. Minor but important improvements: More and better lighting, improved range of movement of the hydraulic thumb, I added a 2" receiver hitch to the center top of the blade, and more powerful drive motors for the tracks. I am working on designing a more convenient track tensioning system for the rubber tracks. Good luck with your endeavors. I enjoy watching your videos.
  • You have your foot in the door of a great enterprise! i am looking to build a new home on an acre site and I can see me needing a loader with multiple attachments. As a previous machine operator it's very nice to see someone concerned about the environment and construction equipment needs to change too. Lawnmowers first then on to the snowplow!
  • I’m so surprised you are from Florida and you don’t hate China given the state of the media in US. As a Chinese living overseas it’s very refreshing to see and up lifting.
  • @kdub11
    It needs a full array of snow removal attachments. Perfect for sidewalks and small lots. And some sort of battery blanket too!
  • @johntrappett58
    Great work Micah! Being an ebike enthusiast, I've been following your videos for several years and I'm really pleased to see you start this company and the ethics behind it. Kudos to your mum and dad for that too. I wish you every success.
  • @smartelectriccar
    Great for snow plowing! This would be great for Canadian properties too. Will keep you bookmarked when we move to the country.
  • @RobsNeighbor
    Love the content! You do a great job! Thank you. Congrats to Nancy! You have another Wisconsin fan, we are in New Glarus!
  • @brianm9467
    6 Hours is pretty darn good. For snowplowing I think I would modify that blade a bit as it doesn't seem like it would do that great, but I could be wrong. More of a snow pusher would be a better idea I would think. Have you ever thought about bringing in towable boom lifts or such? I see a ton listed on a few of the sites they come in battery power and A/C which is amazing for home owners that don't want to use ladders to reach high areas.
  • @caeltheshaman
    I can't wait for you to be able to get these to Canada!!!! Please please make sure to let us know!
  • @Bennys310
    One little upgrade to have on those is to make sure the battery charger is lithium compatible. If i had one of those machines and in like 5 years (or however long it takes), the agm batteries went out, i would prefer to change them to lithium. (it might need some weight added to the back tho)
  • @gigasipke
    Interesting, could be fun for small stuff. We recently had a 5 day power outage and the roads around us had trees and power lines down. I used my diesel tractor for many hours helping to clear the fallen trees and allow people to get out of the dead end road that leads to ours and 17 neighbors properties. I wouldn't have wanted to only have electric equipment, although I could have recharged them with my generator, diversity of fueling is a must in emergency situations.
  • @hotrodhunk7389
    I do a flat trade for my bobcat for one of these honestly. Just the idea of having all the electricity in case of a power outage. I know it takes some kind of DIY solution but that would be really cool to just have it fully charged in the winter if the power goes out hook up my electrical contraption and boom at least have heat in the house and a few lights and internet.
  • @Stryford1
    I like these machines. It's good to hear your company is taking off!
  • @nthemperor
    Dude, you're very a hands-on guy. Preparing a whole manual for those machines really impressed me. Good luck with your new venture. One piece of advise I have for you though is, (and I'm sure you already have this covered), to make sure you have an ironclad noncompete agreement with your suppliers. Otherwise, once you've made these machines popular, they might start bringing them in directly and undercutting your prices. Not saying you shouldn't trust them, but have your back covered anyway. We've seen such in most African countries.
  • @Roger-zw7zy
    Congrats on your new company those are excellent machines.
