Here's a couple of little bits of kit that were recently deployed at my Brother in laws house to dig out for a new patio.
A small Kubota micro excavator and a Spanish made Ausa dumper, very useful little machines.
And to think that in 1979 people said that mini diggers would never catch on!!

Re: Mini Plant
To be Honest IBH, these small "micro" machines can be harder to operate then the bigger kit
They are so light, which in turn makes the controls very "Touchy" & sensitive !!

Re: Mini Plant
Ha Ha Ha the mini gear's miles better than doing it by hand thats for sure.
Shake the travel levers back and forth on the mini and watch it dance
Your right what you say, The bigger the machine the more numb it becomes. I think you would be frustrated at first on a RH120 as they dont move or react as quick like a CAT 320 for instance.
