    Great investment glad you did the walk around talked about it and explained it all the pros and cons …..I’ve been thinking about purchasing one myself ……One recommendations for you get some flat D rings and weld them inside the bucket so you can hook a chain to it A&W direct sell them not to chain hook pens that you put in a chain,,, they’re flat with no pin hook on them so you can weld them to the bucket there’s steel,,,,and also get a D ring welded on the high back side of the bucket so you can loop a chain through to pick things up it can’t wait to get into the machine fixing it Samuel bacon

      Hey Donald! Always good to hear from U!!! I have not really spent much time on the machine, but, the little bit of digging leads me to believe that it will be perfect for my drainage projects and it will be able to lift and tow anything I need to move around. It is a 1 ton, not a 4 ton or 8 ton machine, it was made in China, not Japan, Europe, or the USA, it cost $6K new, not $15 used, so, given my finances and needs, it moves me forward. I would hardly call it a solution for everyone, for me, it will save my back! Thanks for Ur thoughts, watching, and commenting!!!

    Hey H! Nice machine! I just pushed the button to get the same one. I was wondering how it was delivered, flat bed or container truck with plywood crate? Want to know what to expect, thanks! Good luck with it, be safe!

      Hey Steve, I got lucky, a couple of loose fittings, I think it happened when they installed the thumb after the machine left the factory! I need to render and post the video for Sunday!!!! As always, that for Ur thoughts, support, watching, and commenting!!! BTW, May need a parking lot seat job for a TRX200SX!!!

    These small minis are awesome machines just be sure to spend some time to make sure everything is tight and you will have it for many years theres a little more maintence involved over a name brand machine but for the money its what we call a sore pecker deal you just cant hardly beat it

      Hi, Ur description of the deal cracked me up! I like to use the expression, Steal of a Deal, I own a China Diesel back hoe loader and some China made ATVs and U R correct, if one is unwilling or unable to work on a machine, it is best to buy or lease new brand name equipment, for me, my finances, the projects I have, this made sense, for some others, no so much! Thanks for the laugh, Ur thoughts, watching, and commenting!!!

    Hopefully just a loose fitting. 6k is a good deal, hard to get into any decent equipment for that money. Take hydraulic leaks serious and fix right away.

    1 hour in and already have a leak that could cause catastrophic failure potentially, man makes me want to drop 6 grand on a pos Chinese mini excavator. I think I would have found a gently used older(tougher) machine for the same price with a more reputable name brother, that's just my opinion but it seems like it could turn out to be a Chinese tao tao 4 wheeler situation. They all break every time you use them! Very disappointing brother, I would probably discharge that debt and sell it while it's new and worth something and get a kabota or deer or case or bobcat myself. Something more on the commercial side of equipment.

    you get what you pay for as they say.look how many of those china junk atvs are sold for cheap and then look how cheap you can buy them from people for!!they pay $600-$700 and year later you can buy it from them for $50 or free.this thing is going to cost you more in the long run!!!should just bought a used name brand excavator.
