I took a look at this on ebay, judging by who is selling it I'd be inclined to say this is a repossesed unit as that's apparently their game. $8,900 is likely what is owed on it. I can understand why people buy trinkets like this. A lady stpped by here about a half hour ago and wanted to know if I would rent out my JD 310A backhoe. It's not for sale, for hire or for rent. Seems she cannot find any contractors in the area to dig a ditch for her. And to rent a hoe she said it's around a grand. Oh well, I can't even find a contractor myself to put up a 40x60 steel "erector set" building. So I'll just sit on it until spring when interest rates go up and everyone is crying for work!

Maximum lifting capacity 220 Lbs.! Couldn't even get the old lady out of her Lazyboy chair with that unit.

They're selling similar units with trailer & all the gear for tens of thousands of $$$,& saying you'll earn $mega Per Hr.I see them working on home sites here,digging holes & trenching.I'd say you'd be lucky to get 500 hours out of one before it shook itself to bits!

JimInOz the mini skid steers they have now do a prett good job. I operated one for 2 weeks on a little job after a flood. I was putting in a few septic systems at a housing development renovation and we had several days of rain that osilted in dom 72 inch diameter culverts and had ruined a few yards. A landscaper friend of mine asked me if I could operate his Toro Dingo a few days while I couldnt work. It was a blast except for the standing up part. He had a 4 cubic foot 4 in one the small back hoe and a 10 cubic foot sand bucket, a hydrauld auger drive up to a 36 inch auger for trees and a leveller. The 72 inch culverts had packed full of sand and sticks. I could dig 2 fifty footers out a day with the sand bucket but had to use the 4 in 1 with the sand and the woody debris. The leveller is made out of angle iron does a great job on washed out yards. We had to make a good ramp tload the debris into my old 5 yard truck. My friend also leased the chain trencher for his machine does good. I think he had 1850 hours on it and broke a few lines, they are good labor replaements but a few around here get abused trying to be used like a 953 Cat lol.

Actually I guess these Kanga loader things are for real. Its just the one posted in the other link was so beaten up and disassembled its hard to tell what its for or what it did. They didn't even hose it off! And the "track" system appears to be a tire stretched over two wheels on each side. Has a nice Honda motor though. Here's one I found that actually sold for $10k on ebay. But this one appears to be in a little better condition! I guess the operator stands on the little platform and runs it from there while scooting around the backyard and garden.. Link

Hi, Folks. Unless I miss my guess, that is an Aussie-built Kanga loader. They come in wheeled skid-steer or rubber-tracked - belt over wheels - skid-steer and have a wide selection of optional attachments. I don't know the new price but would bet it is a bit more than that. They seem to be quite a good little toy. You have a wonderful day. bets wishes. Deas Plant.

And just think... "It was bought new in January of this year!". I like the one-legged track, and that engine Access... Actually, I'd love to see the work it did, and the work site it lived on. Obviously worked it's rear off doing something. Jim P
