Homemade Articulating Dump Truck and Mini Excavator #miniexcavator #rippa #diy #smallexcavator

Published at : 23 Dec 2025

Finally I have my homemade articulating dump truck going again. I pair it with my Rippa 319 Mini excavator and itโ€™s a perfect match. My dump truck has been out of commission for the past few years due to broken rear CV joints. This video covers the repairs along with using the 420cc predator dump truck with my Chinese mini Excavator.
