If I were to buy it I would offer less to see if they sell it. Maybe $18k out the door. Seems like a decent machine for the price. I ok...

I found the Huayee equivalent model on their main Chinese website. It is the HY25. https://www.huayee.com/htm/hy25_mini_excavator.html

About the only Anakuma machine I would be interested is the 22DS. No way I would pay $20K for the 18DR being the same (mostly) as the...

Hold your horses! I found a brand I had never heard of, Anakuma. Their Badger 22DS seems pretty legit. They have other machines and...

That is one thing I have been looking at. From the looks of it there isn't a real standard. Initially I looked on the CTC for HY18 and...

Incidentally if you do get a mini be careful of some of the attachments out there. Even if you get the same pin diameter (25 mm is...

Had not noticed the TT XIX being he same as the HY18 but with a D902. The XIX is $4,600 more than the HY18. For a little more I can get...

There are two pumps - one main 20 LPM and one for the pilot controls 7 LPM, which are pretty much the same as the other mini's and these...

Yeah, some nice features on the Rippa. Plus, the US importer says they will even provide parts and service. I wonder if they spec the...

I noticed that. I don't understand why they inflate the numbers. I don't mind a 3,500lbs. machine as it would be over 1,500lbs. heavier...

Nice machine! $9k more than the Huayee. I've been trying to find out what hydraulics and pump the Huayee uses but I haven't found...

You guys provide a lot of food for thought. I do my own wrenching so maintenance access is a must. Luckily my shop is detached from the...

Just looked at a walk through* of the Rippa-R18. Lot of additional features and upgrades over my TT-17. I see that its engine is turned...
