I do occassional digger work at landscaping and although I have my own rubber wheeled digger I do hire rubber tracked mini-diggers. By hiring I can get the size of machine I need as sometimes access is restricted. I have hired nearly all the makes with mixed feelings about some of them....but I have never hired a bad Takeuchi.....I have only ever seen a few in America, so maybe you have only started importing these? They seem to have more power in their track motors than any other make and will doze the full of the blade every time, loosing traction before loosing power. Digging cycles are real fast , but being light grey in colour they look dreadful after a few years sitting outside, like as if they had been primered and never got any top coat! My recommendation would be the 135 or better still, if it is not too big the 145. The 135 machine will compete and beat any rubber wheeled backhoe when digging trenches. The clever foot pedals for operating forwards and reverse are an excellent feature. Try one I think you will like it!.....The photo is of my 10 yr old operating the small 3/4 tonne machine....easy-peasy child's play!
