  1. Salvador Walker (verified owner)

    Beast of a machine
    First excavator I’ve ever owned. Dig depth and breakout force are better than I expected. general property cleanup that used to take all day now takes a couple hours. The thumb is a game changer for picking up rock and brush while general property cleanup. Highly recommend to anyone on the fence.

  2. Joseph Roberts (verified owner)

    Great value for the money
    We added it to a hobby farm and it’s already the most-used machine on the lot. The thumb is a game changer for picking up rock and brush while digging irrigation lines. Delivery took just under two weeks and the forklift unloading made it painless. Solid company, solid machine.

    Beast of a machine
    First excavator I’ve ever owned. The thumb is a game changer for picking up rock and brush while grading my driveway. Honestly thought it might be underpowered at this price but it handled grading my driveway like a much bigger machine. Perfect size for a small excavating outfit. Trailers easily behind my pickup and I can move it between sites myself. Highly recommend to anyone on the fence.

  4. Norm Kim (verified owner)

    Real time-saver
    Finally replaced our tired old machine. Honestly thought it might be underpowered at this price but it handled cleaning out ditches like a much bigger machine. Operators at a cattle ranch all comment on how responsive it is. No lag in the controls at all. The 1-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. Showed up on a flatbed in about ten days, well strapped and undamaged. The RATO engine is the real star here. Five stars, easy.

  5. Lee H. (verified owner)

    Powerful and dependable
    Boom swing makes it so much easier to dig along walls and fences. Huge help when pulling stumps. We added it to a pipeline crew and it’s already the most-used machine on the lot. Build quality feels solid — thick steel, clean welds, good pins and bushings. No play after weeks of pulling stumps. Delivery took just under two weeks and the forklift unloading made it painless. Fuel burn is low for the amount of work it does. Highly recommend to anyone on the fence.

  6. Norm Rodriguez (verified owner)

    Impressed all around
    Tracks grip well on the slope behind our place. I’ve had it on wet ground clearing brush with no trouble. Honestly thought it might be underpowered at this price but it handled clearing brush like a much bigger machine. The cab is comfortable for long days. Heater works great for winter clearing brush. Shipping was free and the freight driver called ahead to set up delivery. If you’re considering it, do it.

  7. Roberto Jenkins (verified owner)

    Pretty good buy
    Good machine for the price. Shipping was a touch slow but the equipment is solid. Freight was free to my door and the driver was patient getting it off the truck.

  8. Otis Jimenez (verified owner)

    Tough and reliable
    After comparing a few brands, I went with this one. Operators at a hobby farm all comment on how responsive it is. No lag in the controls at all. Coming from renting, owning this paid for itself in about two months of septic work. The thumb is a game changer for picking up rock and brush while septic work. Shipping was free and the freight driver called ahead to set up delivery. Neighbors keep asking to borrow it. Would absolutely buy again.

  9. Ben T. (verified owner)

    Five stars all day
    My buddy recommended this one. Three months in here in Oklahoma 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. Customer support answered my questions before I bought and again after delivery. That sealed it for me. Showed up on a flatbed in about ten days, well strapped and undamaged. Five stars, easy.

  10. Wes Smith (verified owner)

    Powerful and dependable
    Shopped around for weeks before pulling the trigger. 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 cab is comfortable for long days. Heater works great for winter building a retaining wall. Solid company, solid machine.

  11. Ryan Fisher (verified owner)

    Outstanding machine
    Shopped around for weeks before pulling the trigger. We added it to a self-build homestead and it’s already the most-used machine on the lot. Maintenance is straightforward, grease points are easy to reach, and the manual actually makes sense. The hydraulics are smooth and the controls are easy to learn. My nephew was running it confidently within an hour. Shipping was free and the freight driver called ahead to set up delivery. Fit and finish is better than the photos show. Two thumbs up from me.

  12. Greg Stewart (verified owner)

    No regrets

Trailers easily behind my pickup and I can move it between sites myself. Tracks grip well on the slope behind our place. I’ve had it on wet ground general property cleanup with no trouble. Will be ordering parts and attachments from them again.

    Real time-saver
    Shopped around for weeks before pulling the trigger. Power is impressive for the size. The RATO engine starts right up cold and never bogs down, even when digging a pond. Boom swing makes it so much easier to dig along walls and fences. Huge help when digging a pond. We added it to a residential contractor and it’s already the most-used machine on the lot. The undercarriage looks built to last. Couldn’t be happier with the purchase.

  14. Otis Alvarez (verified owner)

    Good machine, minor notes
    Happy with the machine, just wish setup instructions were a little clearer. Delivery took just under two weeks and the forklift unloading made it painless.

  15. Josh W. (verified owner)

    Worth every penny
    I was clearing brush all last weekend and it didn’t miss a beat. For the money there’s nothing else close. Three months in here in Georgia 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. Would absolutely buy again.

  16. James R. (verified owner)

    Highly recommend
    I was nervous ordering equipment online, but I’m so glad I did. For a first-time owner this was the right call. Easy to operate and tough enough for real work grading my driveway. Perfect size for a vineyard. Trailers easily behind my pickup and I can move it between sites myself. Arrived faster than I expected with all the paperwork included. Plenty of power left in reserve when grading my driveway. Couldn’t be happier with the purchase.

  17. Matthew Burns (verified owner)

    Glad I pulled the trigger
    First excavator I’ve ever owned. Runs quiet and sips fuel compared to the old machine we had at weekend property projects. Customer support answered my questions before I bought and again after delivery. That sealed it for me. Showed up on a flatbed in about ten days, well strapped and undamaged. Fit and finish is better than the photos show. Telling everyone at the co-op about it.

    Does everything I hoped
    Bought this for a county road crew. Build quality feels solid — thick steel, clean welds, good pins and bushings. No play after weeks of septic work. The hydraulics are smooth and the controls are easy to learn. My nephew was running it confidently within an hour. Delivery took just under two weeks and the forklift unloading made it painless. Hauled it home, fueled it up, and was working the same afternoon. Solid company, solid machine.

    Works as described. Would’ve liked a quicker delivery but no complaints about the machine itself.

  25. Jason W. (verified owner)

    Good machine, minor notes
    A few small issues out of the crate that I had to sort out, but support helped and it’s working now. Grease it up, keep an eye on the tracks, and it’ll treat you right.
