mini machines at work in the countryside opinions

Hi, I found this video of this mini loader without a control station with a seat and protective cabin. What do you think of this type of mini loader? Would you buy them for work in the countryside? Which machine and brand would the one in the video be? Thanks

Would you buy them for work in the countryside?

It looks bio-degradable to me.
If you are in the country and don't have size restrictions, why bother with something so small?

you wouldn't buy it in essence, what do you recommend as an alternative that's versatile and more functional thanks?

Personaly, I bought a machine for use in the country where space (mostly) isn't a problem. I wanted to do as much as I could with one machine (in addition to a tractor) that I could. I wanted a machine I could get parts for ex-stock (not wait months for a delivery) and it needed to be robust enough to survive me learning how to drive it.
So I bought a 3CX.

your shovel does not have 4x4 front traction 4wd and differential lock, my land is hilly not flat the car I think could get stuck in the ground that backhoe is suitable for roadworks i.e. you dig the trench and then cover the hole in the countryside you need a powerful agile versatile car with that I risk getting stuck in the ground then I have to tow it with the tractor. I remember when I was little we rented a similar volvo bm, when the rental company broke the front axle and worked on the rear the car was slow clumsy skidded slipped had difficulty digging with the front loader I need a more agile and compact car. I had thought about a rubber or tracked bobcat, I would only like the tracked one but I am afraid of the costs of replacing the tracks, the rubber on the slope to build the road and the ramp I don't think is balanced and stable enough I wouldn't want a stable machine with a good set-up to overturn, that climbs the slope. When it skids with the rear wheel drive it sinks into the ground and gets stuck. When I collect the money I have to trace a road and build myself a Smurf house style trullo in wood and stone but I have to save the ideal would be a 3 ton mini shovel and a 4 ton excavator. But I can't manage with the money to do everything thanks

have seen those 'trulli' houses on the TV -- some brit couple had bought a settlement with them on ... pretty impressive, virtually drystone construction originally
IIRC was a prog. called 'a place in the sun'

in fact this image could well be of their place...... https://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_R...ulli-Alberobello_Province_of_Bari_Puglia.html
