Sure they may not be impressive. The real stepping stone hurtle here is the possible 30 degree plus slope the OP is likely facing to get the equipment up and back.
I do not think a Chinese mini excavator will do that either, which is what Southfork was looking for.
Well I have seen it done if you are willing to use just the boom arm backhoe attachment with engine and pump then get rid of the rest of the weight is my point.
Yep. Know of a to-good-to-be-true bargain a friend's father got a NEW Chinese made tractor. It, literally, broke in half.
Got to know your limitations of force first is a very good guideline.
At just over a half ton you may be able to winch it up a slope to do some testing. Best to have some parts ready if needed.Here's a hoe I'd be willing to test if someone dropped it off.
Might be tempted to put it on a utility trailer before winching the trailer itself uphill.

Side note , I added a Gorilla helper spring to a trailer gate after crunching my back again lifting it last spring. . Added aluminum rollers instead of the stock plastic ones. Works great! They came as a pair but the bigger one is enough.
Gatelatch in the way but cable slides over it's round stock nicely.
No. THAT did not apply in this instance. It was a full on POS and the cast was pure junk.
Agree, the last piece of Chinese junk I bought was a bed crane, that I used to collect boulders, I mounted it in my trailer. The first thing I noticed, is nothing was welded square, and Sh***y welds. I corrected those issues and within 6 months there were more. The beam had such crappy metal that the holes were now oblong, so I had to replace that, should have just built my own in the first place.
