Does anyone have any experience with one of these machines. I am planning on clearing some cutover land using a root rake. I have found one for 5k but it has no brakes.
We have 2 of them on the yard at work. their tough machines. I've been there 25 yrs in april. And they were old then. They are used on a daily bases. Be it loading gravel, or back filling. They will beat you to death.
They are very rough, but are rigid. Have you looked at any other wheel loaders? Even though, I think you are safe on dependability, you might be able to find a better one for a similar price.
