Work in back yards where you have to go through small gate maybe. Shovel might be faster unless there are lots of rocks.

I showed it to my 5 and 7 year old Grandsons that are here and 5 year old asked if he could have one for his birthday

not sure if that could be fitted with a jack hammer but if it can it would potentially save some labor on small interior jobs. Machines don't sue employers, they just break down.

The only time I saw a machine that small was 15 year ago when I worked as a pipefitter, we were doing a job in a super market and the general had an electric powerd on to dig the trenches for the new drain lines, it was pretty neat

 

[kjung17]

What a neat machine. Great for the sand box. Totally useless as a tool, hand me a shovel.

Six thousand? Dollars? U.S. Dollars?

 

[BruceWard]

They only want $10 a pound.

I cant imagine that a 600 pound, 3.5 horsepower machine without a front blade could work with anything hard or even compacted.

Keep it away from a Toro Dingo - they might breed...:laughing:

Several yrs ago i worked for a Demolation company who did the work on the Horseshoe at OSU, They had Jack Hammers on little Machinces like that and would work inside of the old Dorms, I seen them walk them up the steps clear to the top, There is a place for them here and there

Dont knock them A Kobelco Super Shovel and I spent 4 days digging in hard red clay in side a tiny space. I worked for a company that built water treatment plants. They had foreman that got sidetracked on dope and he had poured a solid floor in this tiny pocket tank that was about 5 feet high and 40 by 50 in size. To save from breking the other structures I rented a SUper shovel and we sawed a few joints where the piping had to go in. I dug i n that cramped area for 4 days and the spoid was off beared in concrete buggies to a crane skip. That machine saved the bacon lol

I bet it could run circles around that 580 :laughing: :laughing:, No really I bet I could drive it in circles around the 580 :laughing:

You could run circles around the 580 and laugh and tease it. :thumbsup: You know try and make it mad and see what it does. Does the 580 get mad easy? :laughing:

I believe the "walmart cruiser" would get angry.

Seriously, though, it's funny how people just mercilessly rip equipment they know little about or because they heard it "sucks" from some "genius" on the internet.

I bet that little micro ex would be great working inside a confined area and guys that would other wise have to use a shovel woul give their left *** to have it instead of digging by hand.

I just cleaned a few of my reg customers barns using a mini skid steer. Thing looks like a toy, but did a fabulous job cleaning the stalls. It also helped me uncover something very important. Read here: http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/projects/193010-project-barn-rescue.html

Did you take a serious look at that thing, I can definatly say I could out dig it with a shovel. What might be a good use for it would be, like someone mentioned, possibly running a hammer{??}. I have nothig against a machine but if it acts like a toy and looks like a toy then it's probably nothing more then a.....toy.

 

[BruceWard]

How does its capability compare to this

and this

If it is better then I need it on my job site.

BruceWard; I'm not sure it could pick up "just" the teeth on yours
