I think this would be useful for the monster rounds that need noodling so they can be picked up and put on a splitter. This is just too slow to use if for any sort of volume splitting. But still something that would be very useful to avoid a hernia or broken back.

Boy that chinavator has real jerky hydraulics glad I bought my Kubota U10 really smooth hydraulics and for a micro mini comfortable to run. But for a homeowner or someone just starting out can’t beat the price. They are going for $3200.00 bucks at my local auction in my area. Compared to 30 grand I paid but I’m in it for the long haul. I was looking at those buckets in last auction went for a few hundred dollars.
@gardnersgroundhogminiexcavator5 ай бұрын
Yes you can definitely find some good deals at those auctions but definitely look the equipment over. The Chinese really get cheap when they are giving the equipment away at auction prices. You can definitely pick out the cheaper machines by looking at the overall metal thickness even though two machines might look exactly alike from a distance. Other things to look for are machines without hydraulic oil filters, lack of cooling fans, and cheaper valves. Its one of those pay now or pay later lessons in life many of us have to learn the hard way. Always buy the heavy duty attachments over the light weight cheap ones if you want them to last.
