my dad has a no-name mini ex... it works great as long as you have realistic expectations... works great for digging in a water line, or power line, or whatever you gotta do that doesn't need to be quick digging.... Only issue we've had with his is the track does tend to pop off if you do a ton of turning and spinning around with it... easy enough to avoid, and easy enough to fix if you need to. I think his will only go down to about 5' deep... I think his came with a 1' wide bucket, which works good, but he bought another bucket that's only like 8" wide and it digs very well with that.

Being somewhat, sort of in the business of machinery. Everyone thinks they are a technician until a piece of equipment breaks down, and you need to plug it in a computer, and the parts are in China, and the part number has changed 3 times since you purchased it, and no one who speaks English is available, and of course they have since gone out of business... The list could go on for another 7 pages.

Good luck, and hope it works out for you.

I see you have no clue about the components that go in these and the availability of parts unless you talked to someone with a non AGT machine. I'm not too worried , the guy who gave us the 2 hour tour of them inside and out is a mechanical engineer friend of my son, both my sons are also engineers so we are somewhat in the loop for being hillbillies.

Basically just purchasing a cheap temu mini ex at minimal risk investment. Keep expectations and work load on the lower side and im sure it'll be money well spent. If not, you're not out a ton of money and the grandkids have a very nice Tonka toy for the sand pit.
