Here are a couple of pictures of the Hydraulic Return filter.

So is there a filter inside that?. Must be a cartidge filter. I assume you take the four bolts out of the right end. Do you think another filter should be added. Seems strange that the China cant give you the right book for it That is the only thing in the hydraulic circuit that even looks like a filter.

Typical, the manuals never keep up with product changes. I emailed digmaster and asked them about purchasing filters, no reply yet.

 

[RickfromPaso]

Digmaster replied and said we can order filters directly from them and they will ship them to you.
email them at digmastermachinery@outlook.com

They quoted me $300 for an air filter, hydraulic oil filter and pilot filter. Shipped international air.

There is just a new up date on the DM200. Some fellow just made a U tube veido on it. I now understand where the filter is located and how to open it up. Still no one has posted where the pilot control filter is located at or if it even has one.

I went to look at that. I was hoping to see that he had opened up the main hydraulic filter so we could see the element.

I like that the maker has gone to conventionally retained pins. I looked up the Parker pump, but did not find a 510 type (PGP51063GLP).

The 2-cylinder 479cc Kubotas are good engines, but I hope they are powerful enough for this application. They are about 8hp or so in the 2000-2500RPM range.

Is this the video you are talking about?

 

[John White]

Yes

Any one know where the hydraulic drain plug is located at? It warmed up today did a few things on it. Got my 12" bucket on it. Works fine, will have to get a couple spacers between the ears. A lot heavier. Took it and transplanted a small bush. The main thing i am going to have to do is change the control to the JD pattern. no way can I use it like it is. Any one know how that reset switch works on your instruments and I see that it doesn't show my RPM.

John - can't help on the instrument reset but the Hyd tank should have a plug on the bottom - if you remove the side cover then swing the machine so the tank is between the rear tracks you should see the drain.

To change it to BH or JD controls, you need to swap the boom and dipper stick lines. Was easy on my Hightop as the boom cylinder is on the back so it was just a swap of lines.

. Yours is in the front so you will need to change at the valve body - which from that video appear to be easy to access and are labeled.

John, If you look at that video, he shows you where the drain plug is.
