cool, thanks. Looks like it does OK. So the HF unit is $3300, $2k less
than this Bestco unit which looks essentially the same, and Alibaba has
them for $2k with shipping

Aliexpress even have a whole little tracked excavator for $3915 shipped
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002016823591.html
Or one for $5k https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001650840789.html
$4k https://www.aliexpress.com/item/10000405746761.html

all we have around here is basically beach sand maybe with some tree
roots if you are close to a tree, so nothing like rocks or clay to
impede digging. A shovel works quite well but it is not particular fun
work if there is a lot to do. I guess how fast it works depends on the
hydraulic pressure and flow and piston sizes and what not. Would be
interesting to see a vid of it in action.
