Still have to finish attaching the panels and ducts in the cab. Even has a radio which I didn't even figure on.

Very nice machine! Congrats! Roughly what was the landed cost? I've seen other China min ex $35-45 range.
Looks like you got all the goodies - grading bucket, with tilt etc too?

Got the thumb, the hyd quick attach, regular tooth bucket, wide tooth bucket, wide smooth bucket, and rake.
All in to get to my house, $33,300.00. $24,200 went to China, the other $9,100 went to US.

AC or just heat?

I have to contact them about that. It looks like I just got A/C and no heat?? Which is a whole lot better than if it happened the other way around.
I'm in NC and even in the winter, if I am sitting in that little green house of a cab, I think i will be OK.
But, A/C is mandatory.

Thanks TimberFarm - that's a great deal - a few other questions:
- I see the Hyd connection on the stick - is that for the Tilt for the grading bucket?
- The qd on the buckets is that hydraulic or mechanical where you pick up then pin in place?
- See you got steel tracks - is rubber a $ cost option or can you specify type of track?
- Do you mind sharing the Co or web site you ordered this from?
- Any lessons learned, or things you would do differently?
- You might have mentioned is the powerplant a Kubota/Yanmar or ?
Thanks again, and post some updates and pics once you have some time on it

I haven't taken a look to see how the hyd quick attach works. I did not get the tilting bucket. They did not have any available and weren't sure when they would get them.
It's a Kubota D1703.
I think it was a choice price the same steel or rubber. I wanted steel since I will never be out of the woods with this. If I ever had to, I could get pads for the track. But I really don't think I would need them.
The company is Jiahe. They actually make these for other "Brands". One I know for sure sells under the name "BitsMan". They posted up my exact machine on FaceBook page and I even commented "That looks exactly like this" and posted a photo of mine. They admitted yes, just different decal.
I can give you the contact info for the sales manager. He told me a few of the nameplates that are actually their machines. They make machines for quite a few companies so they don't have a fancy website set up for selling. You just deal direct with him. They also schedule making their machines based on models. This the "35" was scheduled for August production and I placed my order and locked in my price the beginning of May. I told him I didn't mind waiting knowing they were building my machine specifically for me. Terms were 1/3 down at the lock in, then when it is scheduled for production, the balance in full.
