Actually, I was amazed it worked as well as it did. I made it for my tractor to pull trees instead of cutting them with a saw or mower. Once the whole tree is out there's no stumps to dodge and nothing to grow back. It has its limitations but it's way faster than digging the smaller ones up. Since mostly what I want to do is just thin out the woods it seems to fit the bill. You have a great weekend to Ben....Bryan

Hi Ben, The difference between the track loader and my tractor is amazing. I think the traction and power along with increased visibility are what makes the difference. There is a downside though. Seeing anything behind my shoulders is a challenge. I can understand why the back of these things get so beat-up. I hope you have a great weekend to. Bryan.

The AGT QH12 has a Briggs & Stratton lawnmower engine that works the hydraulics and tracks. It is slow and bounces and vibrates and it is noisy. Depth is 5.4 feet but I recommend not to dig deeper than 2 1/2 to 3 feet for safety reasons. Parts are made in China. If taken care of and not abused and not left outdoors uncovered, it will last several years. You will need earplugs, hopefully you do not have back problems, this machine is not good if you have kidney problems. It takes nearly 2 hours to dig a 6 foot long and 2 1/2 foot deep trench. As mentioned it is not fast. It is not a child's toy and needs to be careful around objects because it is made of steel. Cost ranges from $6,000 to $8,000 New and Used is $4,000 to $5,000. If you paid more than $6,000 then you have been had.
