Sweet mini excavator !
The Co. will do whatever they can to make you satisfied and you have customer service to help you out if any problems come up. I got zero interest for one year and the hydraulic thumb I ordered with it was delayed due to being out of stock. The Co. contacted the Mgf. and had them ship the thumb directly to me from the factory and for the delay they paid for the whole thing.
Have been using it for several weeks now for digging trenches, and added a thumb attachment. I like it and it does good job. The included grease gun and baggie of grease was mostly useless. I bought a real one and a flexible hose to reach difficult spots. Needed to use included grease needle to get rest of joints lubed, as they were squeaking, but once properly lubed, no more squeaks. About time now to lube the swivel.
The excavator came on time it was in good shape when it got here. We had a little trouble getting it off the truck but we managed the only question I have now is how long will it be before I get my thumb?
