$15K++Another option instead of a Chinese excavator would be a Toro Dingo, you can get a bucket or backhoe. It will outlast any Chinese mini anything. Like the Kubota, it is also made in the USA.

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 have watched a few videos on those little Chinese machines out of curiosity. I can’t say I am very impressed. Having run a fair bit of machinery over the years I would be more apt to rent a decent machine after having my dig mapped out. Have them drop it off and pick it up. Also nice that it’s someone’s problem when it blows a 250.00 hydro hose and leaks 140.00 of hydro oil everywhere.

I do not think a Chinese mini excavator will do that either, which is what Southfork was looking for.The Dingo weights around 3,071 lb.
Anyone try to winch a ton and a half up a 30 - 40 degree slope?
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.I do not think a Chinese mini excavator will do that either, which is what Southfork was looking for.
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.Think large rocks and cheap Chinese steel.
If you are serious spend the money on a Kaboda.
