I all most got the 6015B but I got a 1/8 scale cat 385CF weigh's in at a whopping 330 lb's and it can lift 250lb's very happy with my choice. The 6015 is a beast too. Great review.
There seems to be very little difference in owning this and a real mini excavator, ( cost wise ) of coarse you can earn very good money on the real thing and as you say, just moving the model outside, surly defeats any enjoyment of owning such a piece of model engineering equipment, so it becomes a self queen... People who own 5" gauge live steam locomotives, also endure these weight problems, with just getting the things out of their workshops and on to the track, a major undertaking, so apart from steaming on special days of the year, the rest, again just a shelf queen..but as with the steam engines, your model will become a collectors item and to be enjoyed as such...nice review ..
