Just put 4 hours on the machine. Pulled out a decent size stump. I'll get a picture of that later. Moving some dirt for a house foundation. Wish the breakout force was a little stronger compared to other excavators in its category. I have rented a Takeuchi 260 and 250 for comparison. The Takeuchi 260 was a very strong excavator. The Takeuchi 250 is very comparable to the Sany SY50u.Overall a good machine for the price. AC works great. Nice to have a radio. Wish it had float function on the blade. And no cup holders.
