Well I use it for a lot of the typical things you’d use a mini ex for……..trenching, expanding backyards, clearing brush/small trees, digging pads, and whatever else comes up. I’m not sure how much a 35N can lift, I think it’s around 1000 lbs. I have been impressed by some big rocks I’ve been able to pick up with it for such a small machine. I have also been very impressed with the guys in Kentucky. It seems they go out of their way to help no matter what.

All in all, I found this a great, versatile machine, and with all its added extras as standard, it certainly offers good
value for money. I expect to see a number of them popping up on sites in the not so distant future.

You’ll find that a mini is a very useful digger. When you click you link, it goes to an 8 ton machine. That is about the size of my larger mini. It will dig circles around any dedicated excavator and make the ones you add on subcompact tractors look like a glorified shovel. The size you’re looking at will dig with most ‘full sized’ backhoes where the one you’d put on your tractor won’t come remotely close to being able to do that sort of work.
