  1. Lee Ramos (verified owner)

    Money well spent
    Three months in here in Pennsylvania and it’s been flawless. Cold mornings, mud, long hours — it just works. The hydraulics are smooth and the controls are easy to learn. My nephew was running it confidently within an hour. Coming from renting, owning this paid for itself in about two months of trenching for water lines. The undercarriage looks built to last. Couldn’t be happier with the purchase.

  2. Matthew Brown (verified owner)

    Powerful and dependable
    Bought this for a remodeling business. Maintenance is straightforward, grease points are easy to reach, and the manual actually makes sense. Dig depth and breakout force are better than I expected. loading gravel that used to take all day now takes a couple hours. Runs quiet and sips fuel compared to the old machine we had at a remodeling business. Telling everyone at the co-op about it.

  3. Steven C. (verified owner)

    Could not be happier
    Needed something for general property cleanup, so I took the plunge. Customer support answered my questions before I bought and again after delivery. That sealed it for me. We added it to a rental fleet and it’s already the most-used machine on the lot. The thumb is a game changer for picking up rock and brush while general property cleanup. Delivery took just under two weeks and the forklift unloading made it painless. Telling everyone at the co-op about it.

  4. Ramon C. (verified owner)

    Money well spent
    Operators at a vineyard all comment on how responsive it is. No lag in the controls at all. Boom swing makes it so much easier to dig along walls and fences. Huge help when clearing brush. Maintenance is straightforward, grease points are easy to reach, and the manual actually makes sense. Couldn’t be happier with the purchase.

  5. Aaron Sanders (verified owner)

    Best purchase for the farm
    Customer support answered my questions before I bought and again after delivery. That sealed it for me. Build quality feels solid — thick steel, clean welds, good pins and bushings. No play after weeks of digging footings. Tracks grip well on the slope behind our place. I’ve had it on wet ground digging footings with no trouble. Showed up on a flatbed in about ten days, well strapped and undamaged. My only regret is not getting one years ago. Five stars, easy.

  6. Mark B. (verified owner)

    Strong machine, slow shipping
    Solid value. Minor learning curve on the controls but it’s a capable machine. Freight was free to my door and the driver was patient getting it off the truck.

  7. Randy Martinez (verified owner)

    Strong machine, slow shipping
    Runs strong. Took a day to dial in the tracks but it’s been great since. Shipping was free and the freight driver called ahead to set up delivery.

  8. Adam Phillips (verified owner)

    Does everything I hoped
    Bought this for a hobby farm. The thumb is a game changer for picking up rock and brush while grading my driveway. Build quality feels solid — thick steel, clean welds, good pins and bushings. No play after weeks of grading my driveway. Power is impressive for the size. The Kubota engine starts right up cold and never bogs down, even when grading my driveway. Two thumbs up from me.

  9. Matthew Hughes (verified owner)

    Beast of a machine
    My buddy recommended this one. Customer support answered my questions before I bought and again after delivery. That sealed it for me. Honestly thought it might be underpowered at this price but it handled digging footings like a much bigger machine. Solid company, solid machine.

  10. James Alexander (verified owner)

    Paid for itself fast
    The cab is comfortable for long days. Heater works great for winter digging a pond. 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. Quiet enough that I can run it early without waking the house. Couldn’t be happier with the purchase.

  11. Russ Johnson (verified owner)

    Worth every penny

  12. Amir P. (verified owner)

    Highly recommend
    Bought this for a tree service. The thumb is a game changer for picking up rock and brush while pulling stumps. I was pulling stumps all last weekend and it didn’t miss a beat. For the money there’s nothing else close. Honestly thought it might be underpowered at this price but it handled pulling stumps like a much bigger machine. Trailers light enough that I move it solo. Will be ordering parts and attachments from them again.

    Worth every penny
    Needed something for building a retaining wall, so I took the plunge. Tracks grip well on the slope behind our place. I’ve had it on wet ground building a retaining wall with no trouble. Boom swing makes it so much easier to dig along walls and fences. Huge help when building a retaining wall. Perfect size for a remodeling business. Trailers easily behind my pickup and I can move it between sites myself. Couldn’t be happier with the purchase.

    Outstanding machine
    The 1.4-ton class is the sweet spot for us — tight enough to fit through a gate but it still has the muscle for general property cleanup. Power is impressive for the size. The Kubota engine starts right up cold and never bogs down, even when general property cleanup. Dig depth and breakout force are better than I expected. general property cleanup that used to take all day now takes a couple hours. Fuel burn is low for the amount of work it does. Telling everyone at the co-op about it.

  15. Rafael Walker (verified owner)

    Five stars all day
    Shopped around for weeks before pulling the trigger. Build quality feels solid — thick steel, clean welds, good pins and bushings. No play after weeks of setting fence posts. For a first-time owner this was the right call. Easy to operate and tough enough for real work setting fence posts. Showed up on a flatbed in about ten days, well strapped and undamaged. Will be ordering parts and attachments from them again.

  16. John S. (verified owner)

    Works as described
    Happy with the machine, just wish setup instructions were a little clearer. Showed up on a flatbed in about ten days, well strapped and undamaged.

  17. Otis Nguyen (verified owner)

    Impressed all around
    The cab is comfortable for long days. Heater works great for winter moving dirt around the barn. Three months in here in Colorado and it’s been flawless. Cold mornings, mud, long hours — it just works. For a first-time owner this was the right call. Easy to operate and tough enough for real work moving dirt around the barn. Shipping was free and the freight driver called ahead to set up delivery. Hauled it home, fueled it up, and was working the same afternoon. Two thumbs up from me.

Build quality feels solid — thick steel, clean welds, good pins and bushings. No play after weeks of pulling stumps. Freight was free to my door and the driver was patient getting it off the truck.

    No regrets
    I was nervous ordering equipment online, but I’m so glad I did. The thumb is a game changer for picking up rock and brush while clearing a fence row. Perfect size for a tree service. Trailers easily behind my pickup and I can move it between sites myself. Shipping was free and the freight driver called ahead to set up delivery. Plenty of power left in reserve when clearing a fence row. Would absolutely buy again.

    Pretty good buy
    Works as described. Would’ve liked a quicker delivery but no complaints about the machine itself. Arrived faster than I expected with all the paperwork included.

  25. Cole Thomas (verified owner)

    Money well spent
    Bought this for an acreage owner. The hydraulics are smooth and the controls are easy to learn. My nephew was running it confidently within an hour. Tracks grip well on the slope behind our place. I’ve had it on wet ground loading gravel with no trouble. Coming from renting, owning this paid for itself in about two months of loading gravel.

    Great value for the money

    No regrets

    No regrets
    After comparing a few brands, I went with this one. Coming from renting, owning this paid for itself in about two months of clearing a fence row. Runs quiet and sips fuel compared to the old machine we had at a self-build homestead. Delivery took just under two weeks and the forklift unloading made it painless. Trailers light enough that I move it solo. Exactly as described, no surprises.

  30. Gary J. (verified owner)

    Does the job well
    Machine itself is decent but delivery took longer than I’d hoped. Once it arrived it ran fine. Grease it up, keep an eye on the tracks, and it’ll treat you right.
