Operating the Protech Evo Compact Walk-Behind Machine

alright so this is the Evo protec compact this one's small enough to fit on the back of a trailer to be pulled with a half-ton pickup in the US or in the UK they can pull it with a small SUV there are a lot of restrictions on hauling these pieces of machinery in the UK you can't be over a certain weight to pull with a non mercial type vehicle so we're going to go ahead and fire it up here turn the key on hit it fire it up little diesel engine here easy simple controls idle up idle down a little switch we're gonna idle it up we're going to go over here to the controllers I'll show you how it works we have six controllers right here and this is our drive this drives one side of the track this drives the other side of the track very simple there is a platform on the ground here we're going to raise that platform up and we're going to drive our mast inwards so that we bring our center of gravity closer to the machine and we'll drive it around a little bit this is my first time really operating this machine so bear with me we're learning all the controls just like so bring our leg up just a little ways and we're actually going to swing it out let's see here this is the slew arm just like so now we're going to drive so forward very easy to drive this is a walk behind machine they're coming out with a Evo three which is a cab machine if I want to go to the left I just push the right track a little further and I can go to the left vice versa I can push it that way driving this is similar to driving a skid steer or zero turn mower if you lock one track in place and you spend that other track you're going to be tearing up your property gonna be tearing up the grass but if you can smoothly operate this machine keep one track moving as the other track drives around you won't tear up the grass so bad very important especially if you're working in a man's field [Music] so guys if your wife is out helping you build your fits and you need a little extra hand you got one right here very very simple to operate very fun to operate really all right good cool guys this is the Evo compact the Evo one will be the machine that we have at my farm and you get to see this thing in action totally in action right here so we're going to go ahead and move this arm just a little bit show you a few things that we do we're going to bring the mass out just a little bit and it'll rotate out so you can get it into any position that you want to get it into you have to watch this little foot…
