Pros
- Digs about 5.5 ft deep with 10 ft of reach, more than most 1.2 ton machines
- Hydraulic thumb comes standard, so it picks up rocks and brush
- Gas engine runs on pump fuel with no diesel to store
- The canopy comes off for low doorways and sheds
Cons
- No published warranty
- The listing does not say whether the boom swings side to side, which matters for digging along walls
