I've been looking at getting rid of the backhoe I've been borrowing and finding for a mini-ex for around the house. The only thing I really need it for in the immediate future is cleaning out some ditches, and digging a footer for my shop build next spring. I saw this thing pop up and it caught my eye:

I've already got a small and big loader so I have no need for a backhoe and this thing looks small and cheap enough to fit my needs. Not sure if that price is a little high for such an obscure piece of equipment. Not having an undercarriage to worry about is kind of appealing to me because I don't really need to run it on any surfaces that would require tracks. It would be nice if it would lift high enough to load into my dump truck (~100" off the ground) but I doubt it.
Thoughts?
