The wifely unit is talking more and more about getting a tracked skid steer rather than an excavator. Are there any 'quality', less expensive, skid steers out there?

In terms of chinese mini skid steers, garage connection posted a recent video of a rippa unit nd1635 that looks better built than many others. The frame for the loader mount was beefier and the hoses werent run externally on the frame. The drive sprockets also looked bigger.

Does she understand that they have vastly different purposes? What are you wanting to get done with the machine?

Basically a mini steer is a lot of muscle in small package where you can not get your wheeled tractor with a FEL into.... What exact use where you contemplating with a mini excavator vs what a mini SS can do?....

If I were buying a Chinese CTL I'd be looking at Sany or XCMG, something with a dealer network.

Pay attention to the pumps, if you want to run some of the powered attachments a triple pump seems to be the way to go, the rippa brand as others pointed out look pretty good.

Is there anyone who has actually had long term good results out of a piece of Chinese equipment? In other words years of good service out of a Chinese skidsteer, mini ex, tractor , etc, just curious.
