Like the video you showed there are a bunch of videos and reviews of a lot of brands. Some look like they actually work OK. There's one video from a bunch of punks from MN called the Cboys where they buy two brands then destroyed both of them. But that's their whole YouTube deal getting 14 teen year olds to give them views.

They look handy for doing firewood too.  Can hold the whole tree trunk up whilst you cut it up into rounds. We have some dirt that needs moving around here too.

I hope Chinese excavators (and cell phones and TVs) don't turn out the same way as Israeli pagers...  just sayin.

At some point, there is a part of me that thinks...   :scratch:  The day is coming when all of our imported $#!T is goona just stop working all at once.

The one I am looking at has no computer at all.  Just the Briggs motor that runs the hydraulics.  All fixable.  Even Amazon has the attachments for it.  Like the spike that I will get to rip roots.  I am going to pick it up tomorrow.  It is less than what I paid for our lawn mower.  I am getting it brand new for $4,600.  There are a lot of brands out there and a lot of them for sale and that is why they are so cheap now.  Once tRump starts talking to China expect them to skyrocket in price.

Leech it is already set up and ready to go.  The guy has a gravel hauling business 30 miles north of Grand Forks.  This is his slow time and I think he buys one or two just to sell in the offseason. ???  Not sure but that is what it sounds like.  I will meet him tomorrow and get more info.  Real great guy over the phone.  I will let you know HD.  They are in auctions a lot.  Equipment auctions I guess.  They buy a few and try to make some money selling them.  I do think they are going to go way up in price when the supply gets thinner.
