I know we all slate them off, and generally with good cause, but how about a Chinese mini for yard work?
I think the hammer was coming down on them at Euro’s a few weeks ago at about £2.5k. Would probably run for half an hour now and then for ages before it breaks down and there would be no temptation to take it to site and leave yourself with no yard machine.

Have you seen the track loaders they do now? Similar price and would be so handy in the yard.

Have you seen them up close though
I seen an ad today, a dealer had 3 for sale. They were the same make and model but all different!

No and I bet they're rubbish! You wouldn't really expect much from it but as Rob says for light use they might just about do and the price is peanuts.Have you seen them up close though

Assuming this is all just for load and unload at HQ when machine on site ?
If you have rough ground and plenty of room then a moffett. If you have tight space and good ground then a little counterbalance FLT?

2nd that . A forklift is by far the best bang for your buck for lifting . Go for pneumatic tyres unless you're got concrete or tarmac or your going to be an expert at recovering it very quickly

You wont drag or push it back onto the pallet racking though. Its bad enough for me trying to push my micro breaker back against the wall with the steel racking two foot above it.

I keep seeing the adverts and thinking they look miles better than micros of the same price point. Would be inerested in trying one.Have you seen them up close though

Same, I wouldn't even look with passing interest at the cheap Chinese diggers (not Sany/luigong type) but the idea of one of those skidsteers appeals a little to keep at the barn for odds and ends. Probably 20 minutes a week tops, but it's time/sweat saved, not clock hours that matter.

Probably easier to make a cheap shovel than a cheap micro as less compromises as you’re not trying to target compactness
Still think there is a market for an Indian built version of 30 year old quality kit. Like the Tafe tractors. Simple but decent .

Doesn't someone on here have a Chinese compact loader they use for this kind of stuff.
Depends if you had another layer above that. Which would probably be pointless anyway if there is not a machine to load it with.

We used to have one of these in the pre forklift days.. A gateway tool. Good for loading in side doors and back doors of vans and pickups and onto some parts of trailers. Needs a good surface though. Plenty of cheap ones about.
