I'm still learning about these and don;t own one yet, but that doesn't sound right. Instead of mineral oil, did you possibly mean traditional, non-synthetic hydraulic oil?

Did not get any of them. That would have been 7200-7600 for the Diggits after the 20% markup. There's one on FBMP for 9k (could probably offer 8k) and there will be other auction opportunities, so not worth rushing into the purchase at that price. While I like the layout of those better than the...

Thanks for checking. Some of the features combined with alleged third party parts compatibility and in counrty support definitely makes it an interesting option. Standard hydraulic thumb is a plus and side swing boom might be a worth while upgrade, don't think I have much use for the adjustable...

Have you got a link? First I've seen the brand. When I googled it, the website I found did not say anything about free shipping and the sales link took me to a dealer that did not list it. Am liking some of the options I'm seeing for the price on the dealer site. If they were local I wouldn;t...

Got it, but doubtful I'm going to be the high bidder at this point. I really want one of the diggits if I'm getting from this auction, but both of my bids have already been exceeded. One is up to 5K and the same bidder is high bid on the other at 2.5k, so stands to reason he'll probably go as...

Ok, some decisions have been made. We have a hard cap of 10K for initial investment. If its a base machine that is fine and we can get addons and acessories at a later date as needed. I got registered on the auction site this afternoon and am going to go for one of the two Diggit EM15s that...

Those look interesting, unfortunately they are still over the price point I want to hit. That said, it including a few attachments (couple buckets, grapple, rake) which helps offset the added cost. With those, the control layout, and the swing arm will keep it as a prospect.

I intend to work my way through it, but my readers aren't working great right now. Thanks to diabetes, I have to get injections in both eyes about every other month. Just got them yesterday, so it'll be a day or two before it's comfortable to do a lot of reading again Didn't do a lot of reading...

Really wanting to stay under $10k. Would prefer 5-8k price range. $9K for the Diggit on FB Marketplace is really pushing what I want to spend on the basic unit. Going over that and I'd be better off paying someone to do the main project I'm considering purchase for. Sounds like <2 ton is what...

I'm going to say up front I haven't and probably won't read all 90 pages of this thread, but I've got some questions about tthese little units that I think y'all can probabvly answer. So I'm looking for a 1-2 ton mini excavator to do some work on our personal property. arouind our hunting...
