Satisfied customerOverall I’m happy with it. Took a little setup out of the gate but runs great now. Showed up on a flatbed in about ten days, well strapped and undamaged.

Outstanding machineShopped around for weeks before pulling the trigger. Coming from renting, owning this paid for itself in about two months of clearing a fence row. Maintenance is straightforward, grease points are easy to reach, and the manual actually makes sense. The thumb is a game changer for picking up rock and brush while clearing a fence row. Showed up on a flatbed in about ten days, well strapped and undamaged. Tracks, pins, and hoses all still tight after heavy use. Solid company, solid machine.

Pretty good buyA few small issues out of the crate that I had to sort out, but support helped and it’s working now. My only regret is not getting one years ago.

Glad I pulled the triggerFinally replaced our tired old machine. Customer support answered my questions before I bought and again after delivery. That sealed it for me. Runs quiet and sips fuel compared to the old machine we had at a cattle ranch. The thumb is a game changer for picking up rock and brush while tearing out old concrete. The price-to-power ratio is hard to beat right now. Two thumbs up from me.

Tough and reliableThe thumb is a game changer for picking up rock and brush while digging irrigation lines. Coming from renting, owning this paid for itself in about two months of digging irrigation lines. Perfect size for an acreage owner. Trailers easily behind my pickup and I can move it between sites myself. Cold starts in Georgia have been a non-issue. Five stars, easy.

Best purchase for the farmMy buddy recommended this one. Tracks grip well on the slope behind our place. I’ve had it on wet ground clearing brush with no trouble. Maintenance is straightforward, grease points are easy to reach, and the manual actually makes sense. The Kubota engine is the real star here. Exactly as described, no surprises.

Glad I pulled the triggerI was nervous ordering equipment online, but I\’m so glad I did. Runs quiet and sips fuel compared to the old machine we had at a cattle ranch. The 3-ton class is the sweet spot for us — tight enough to fit through a gate but it still has the muscle for cleaning out ditches. Perfect size for a cattle ranch.

Runs quiet and sips fuel compared to the old machine we had at a cattle ranch. Boom swing makes it so much easier to dig along walls and fences. Huge help when trenching for water lines.

Tough and reliableTracks grip well on the slope behind our place. I’ve had it on wet ground building a retaining wall with no trouble. I was building a retaining wall all last weekend and it didn’t miss a beat. For the money there’s nothing else close. The 3-ton class is the sweet spot for us — tight enough to fit through a gate but it still has the muscle for building a retaining wall. Shipping was free and the freight driver called ahead to set up delivery. Trailers light enough that I move it solo. Exactly as described, no surprises.

Best purchase for the farmShopped around for weeks before pulling the trigger. Tracks grip well on the slope behind our place. I’ve had it on wet ground setting fence posts with no trouble. Build quality feels solid — thick steel, clean welds, good pins and bushings. No play after weeks of setting fence posts. Arrived faster than I expected with all the paperwork included. Five stars, easy.

Money well spentShopped around for weeks before pulling the trigger. Three months in here in Georgia and it’s been flawless. Cold mornings, mud, long hours — it just works. The thumb is a game changer for picking up rock and brush while digging a pond. For a first-time owner this was the right call. Easy to operate and tough enough for real work digging a pond. The undercarriage looks built to last. Would absolutely buy again.

Dig depth and breakout force are better than I expected. moving dirt around the barn that used to take all day now takes a couple hours. For a first-time owner this was the right call.

Outstanding machineFirst excavator I’ve ever owned. Dig depth and breakout force are better than I expected. landscaping the back acreage that used to take all day now takes a couple hours. Honestly thought it might be underpowered at this price but it handled landscaping the back acreage like a much bigger machine. Freight was free to my door and the driver was patient getting it off the truck. Fuel burn is low for the amount of work it does. If you’re considering it, do it.
