Still don’t know why I bought it as only done one job so far

It’d be handy for loading your wallet into/out of your truck cab mate.

@powercom bought two I think

I did sold one using one , bought stum grinder for it same sale and been using it on that, not really got enough hyd flow for the grinder TBH but its still still grinding , just not at pace that a dedicated machine would , in general for the price they are good value clearly to degree you get what you pay for and compared to bobcat , or toro version you would maybe be disappointed if where using one the biggest frustration would probably be tracking and lifting or tilting at the same time they way they are piped and the flow available that is difficult to do and bit frustrating but those toros and bobcat are probably around £20 k + or more so not for me at least something would even consider we are literally in different ball park
right out of the box the hinges on the bonnet broke just alloy things but an easy fix so I think you need to be handy with the spanners but just fabricated some steel ones , With some forks on it will be handy a tool especially in the workshop and I have a timber grab for it and in makes a great tool for holding long logs while I cut them to firewood sizes . Got a load of trees to plant and will be good for that think with post hole digger on .
It will lift more than it should , the limiting factor being its own weight to counterbalance the load,
Overall at the price they are they are superb value and a worthwhile tool if you have something to do with it

What engine size and width is yours?

What engine size and width is yours?

10kw shown on it single cylinder ,but not lacking power at that though tracking lift and tilt all ample can lift way more than it can counter balance but oil flow for a brush or grinder not as high as it could be. A 3rd pump would maybe fix that but not seen any in sale with 3 pumps and TBH not the end of the world for me to live with as is as I said for the price you have to maybe accept the shortcomings they have

For some crazy reason, perhaps seeing one come up at a local auction, I'm tempted by a Chinese loader! Anyone have anymore experience with these?

After a meeting with HSE last week I wouldn't touch them, If there is no CE plate walk away

The yanks seem to love them, paying up around $10k + for something like this:

The were fetching between 3800 and 4500 hammer earlier in the year, although in think they might have been a slightly different model, some come with a kubota 3cyl diesel, not sure about hydraulic pump or final drives

Do expand?

As a one man band I'd not be worried about a lack of CE marking, everyone knows it's a no no giving them to an operator to drive though.

Very interesting.
I wonder if I'll ever get a government that's actually competent at stopping imports coming in? This absolute headlong obsession with buying s*** from China will be our downfall if it not already is
Your not telling me CE/UKCA marks aren't ten a penny these days? Some of the utter sh*t Amazon pumps all happily marked up as ce etc is a joke. Recently sent a heat sealer back I darent even turn on let alone use !! And yep CE

The problem is the government has created such a hostile environment for domestic manufacturing that there is simply no economic sense in making most stuff here... its getting to the point that the costs are so high that now even the most patriotic consumer has no choice but to outsource/import if he wants to survive as a business.

It's quite shocking to see, the mini loader market is completely flooded with chinese..... makes the price of a sherpa look ridiculous

Check out their Facebook groups. The basic ones are riddled with problems.
The tracks they come with don't stay on and need replacing straight off the bat. The oil is full of filings when they turn up. The drive motor seals last about 50hours. The idler bearings are about the same. They overheat pretty quickly.
The retaining plate for the track tensioner snaps
One the other day had been travelling down hill with bucket on the floor. A hose burst and the boom lifted rolling the machine and throwing the operator far enough to knock him unconscious.

This is on the real basic ones. I'm not sure if the bobcat/ditchwitch copies are better.
