My new toy

[upnover]

Picked up the mini last night and took it to the farm to try it out. I have a lot of hand eye coordination to get used to. I should start playing video games! What a great machine. Even in hard clay I could dig easily with the 24" toothed bucket. Too bad winter is coming so I will have to wait to play some more in spring.

That's a nice looking machine.That would come in handy working around my property. Good luck with it and keep us posted on it!

nice machine. your eye had coordination will improve with time but it will be fun trying.

I rented that machine this summer to do a backyard septic replacement job. I found it to be a good machine. Good digging power and smooth controls. I wasn't sure it would have the beans to pull the old metal tank out of the ground since it was at a wierd angle and partially covered by a cement patio. It slid it over and lifted it out with ease.
You are going to have fun with it.

Now I'm feeling guilty.....I'm going to have to go clean mine tomorrow.

Well actually it has 157 hours on it. I think the previous owner greased it every 2 hours as it took me all morning to wipe all the excess grease off of it!

[clayton]

thats a nice excavator you got there btw is it a yanmar?
ive never heard of a yanmar excavator

 

[upnover]

Yes it is a Yanmar VIO-35-5. I had not really heard of them either. I was looking at the Cat, Deere or Case when I found this deal too good to pass up. The 3 year/3000 hour warranty was a bonus too. I cant wait to use it when the snow goes.

Yanmar's are well known for their Short tailswing and zero tail swing models like yours is, so you've got a top quality machine there, enjoy.
