Cheap chinese mini digger / excavators

He's lucky then. @Gunner223. Sister-in-law purchased a brand-new one when she set up a worm farm. It had an incredibly easy life, but the engine casing cracked after 18 months .
We even had a 2nd hand Kubota compact sorted out for her, but would she listen? Nope...

Ordering one in the morn should be here by the end of the week ! Have read all the reviews and company I'm speaking to has been there 30 years and is offering aftersales service ( not the cheapest option ) they also do a flail mower attachment

Keep us updated on how it performs, please. It's always handy to know!

The workers' wages are a bowl of rice and an egg each day, the steel is mixed with chocolate to keep the overall costs down, and I hope you liked Meccano when you were a child, because it all comes in bits, in a big wooden crate, with the destructions in Mandarin.

But at that price, it's worth a punt if you can have a demo

A fair bit of the difference in price is that the Chinese invested in modern factories with up-to-date machinery. A bit like the Japanese in the 60s & 70s when we still had people knocking stuff with hammers.
