I Bought a $5k Mini Excavator

These excavators have been all over YouTube. They can be found on Alibaba for $2k-$3k. Importing them yourself is extremely complicated and expensive, which ends up adding 2-3x to the original price. I always thought it'd be nice to have one, but I didn't want to deal with importing one. A couple of months ago, we started seeing these at local equipment auctions, which means someone else is doing the hard work. I bought this one, brand new, for $5,500. In this video, I figure out how to quickly transport this around the property and do a little cleanup at one of the ponds. If you're interested in the water pump setup shown in the video, here's what I bought: Pump: https://amzn.to/3XNQYtW Inline Filter: https://amzn.to/3MPMCMG Hose: https://amzn.to/3MMuq6y Power Supply: https://amzn.to/3XvnLml Greenworks Inverter: https://amzn.to/3TwTgLK
