Just what the job neededDig depth and breakout force are better than I expected. general property cleanup that used to take all day now takes a couple hours. For a first-time owner this was the right call. Easy to operate and tough enough for real work general property cleanup. I’d buy from them again without hesitation. Exactly as described, no surprises.

Exceeded my expectationsBought this for weekend property projects. Customer support answered my questions before I bought and again after delivery. That sealed it for me. 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. Delivery took just under two weeks and the forklift unloading made it painless. The price-to-power ratio is hard to beat right now. If you’re considering it, do it.

Exceeded my expectationsNeeded something for moving dirt around the barn, so I took the plunge. The cab is comfortable for long days. Heater works great for winter moving dirt around the barn. Build quality feels solid — thick steel, clean welds, good pins and bushings. No play after weeks of moving dirt around the barn. Fuel burn is low for the amount of work it does. Highly recommend to anyone on the fence.

Worth every pennyAfter comparing a few brands, I went with this one. Honestly thought it might be underpowered at this price but it handled tearing out old concrete like a much bigger machine. I was tearing out old concrete all last weekend and it didn’t miss a beat. For the money there’s nothing else close. Operators at a tree service all comment on how responsive it is. No lag in the controls at all. Showed up on a flatbed in about ten days, well strapped and undamaged. The Kubota engine is the real star here. Would absolutely buy again.

Outstanding machineI was nervous ordering equipment online, but I\’m so glad I did. Customer support answered my questions before I bought and again after delivery. That sealed it for me. We added it to a hobby farm and it\’s already the most-used machine on the lot. Build quality feels solid — thick steel, clean welds, good pins and bushings.

Money well spentFinally replaced our tired old machine. The 3.2-ton class is the sweet spot for us — tight enough to fit through a gate but it still has the muscle for digging footings. Three months in here in central California and it’s been flawless. Cold mornings, mud, long hours — it just works. Maintenance is straightforward, grease points are easy to reach, and the manual actually makes sense. Arrived faster than I expected with all the paperwork included. Comfortable enough that long days aren’t a chore. Will be ordering parts and attachments from them again.

Money well spentAfter comparing a few brands, I went with this one. The 3.2-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. Coming from renting, owning this paid for itself in about two months of cleaning out ditches. Power is impressive for the size. The Kubota engine starts right up cold and never bogs down, even when cleaning out ditches. Showed up on a flatbed in about ten days, well strapped and undamaged.

Impressed all aroundAfter comparing a few brands, I went with this one. Perfect size for an acreage owner. Trailers easily behind my pickup and I can move it between sites myself. We added it to an acreage owner and it’s already the most-used machine on the lot. Runs quiet and sips fuel compared to the old machine we had at an acreage owner. Hauled it home, fueled it up, and was working the same afternoon. Telling everyone at the co-op about it.
