Money well spentAfter comparing a few brands, I went with this one. Three months in here in Oregon and it’s been flawless. Cold mornings, mud, long hours — it just works. The compact class is the sweet spot for us — tight enough to fit through a gate but it still has the muscle for digging a pond. Shipping was free and the freight driver called ahead to set up delivery. The Kubota engine is the real star here. Would absolutely buy again.

Couldn’t ask for moreShopped around for weeks before pulling the trigger. Power is impressive for the size. The Kubota engine starts right up cold and never bogs down, even when moving dirt around the barn. Tracks grip well on the slope behind our place. I’ve had it on wet ground moving dirt around the barn with no trouble. Maintenance is straightforward, grease points are easy to reach, and the manual actually makes sense. Delivery took just under two weeks and the forklift unloading made it painless. Cuts my job time roughly in half on moving dirt around the barn. If you’re considering it, do it.
