Work in back yards where you have to go through small gate maybe. Shovel might be faster unless there are lots of rocks.

I showed it to my 5 and 7 year old Grandsons that are here and 5 year old asked if he could have one for his birthday :D

not sure if that could be fitted with a jack hammer but if it can it would potentially save some labor on small interior jobs. Machines don't sue employers, they just break down.

The only time I saw a machine that small was 15 year ago when I worked as a pipefitter, we were doing a job in a super market and the general had an electric powerd on to dig the trenches for the new drain lines, it was pretty neat :)

What a neat machine. Great for the sand box. Totally useless as a tool, hand me a shovel.

They only want $10 a pound.

I cant imagine that a 600 pound, 3.5 horsepower machine without a front blade could work with anything hard or even compacted.

Several yrs ago i worked for a Demolation company who did the work on the Horseshoe at OSU, They had Jack Hammers on little Machinces like that and would work inside of the old Dorms, I seen them walk them up the steps clear to the top, There is a place for them here and there

Dont knock them A Kobelco Super Shovel and I spent 4 days digging in hard red clay in side a tiny space. I worked for a company that built water treatment plants. They had foreman that got sidetracked on dope and he had poured a solid floor in this tiny pocket tank that was about 5 feet high and 40 by 50 in size. To save from breking the other structures I rented a SUper shovel and we sawed a few joints where the piping had to go in. I dug i n that cramped area for 4 days and the spoid was off beared in concrete buggies to a crane skip. That machine saved the bacon lol

I believe the "walmart cruiser" would get angry. ;)

Seriously, though, it's funny how people just mercilessly rip equipment they know little about or because they heard it "sucks" from some "genius" on the internet.

I bet that little micro ex would be great working inside a confined area and guys that would other wise have to use a shovel woul give their left *** to have it instead of digging by hand.

I just cleaned a few of my reg customers barns using a mini skid steer. Thing looks like a toy, but did a fabulous job cleaning the stalls. It also helped me uncover something very important. Read here: http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/projects/193010-project-barn-rescue.html

Did you take a serious look at that thing, I can definatly say I could out dig it with a shovel. What might be a good use for it would be, like someone mentioned, possibly running a hammer{??}. I have nothig against a machine but if it acts like a toy and looks like a toy then it's probably nothing more then a.....toy.
