Stuff..It has a scraper blade built onto the front..not sure if you were pointing this out or saying it would be cool to have one.
fuba, the blade on that is just for back dragging and as a stabilizer. i mean like mini bulldozer lol

As soon as I read that thread I sent an email to japan to see what it was and how to get one on my container. I guess they're called garden shovels, and from what I'm told are somewhat pricey and a little hard to find. I'm going to check with the customs brokers to see what it takes to clear on of these little guys, I'm hoping to find a couple and just replace one truck in the container with them.
Here is one for the big boy in you, not quite as cool, and no tracks....but you could tow it behind the mini! http://www.harborfreight.com/towable-ride-on-trencher-65162.html

Just found one at auction, I don't know who said they were 1500-2000, the current bid is 481,000!!!! I'm still thinking about bidding
For what it is I still don't think that's a bad price, looking at what it can do and where it can go it doesn't really have anything that can compare to it. I haven't bid on it yet but I might, brand new they're about 1mil yen, in a world in which our gov't hadn't destroyed our currency that would only be about 10G
yikes?...I did a search and found some at 1500-2000..they were prob old posts though....possible the tsunami has increased prices on anything that could be used to help in the cleanup
I don't see the value. It has a $350 honda rota tiller engine on it. 1500-2000 seemed more inline. Thats a bummer...
+ tracks and the boom is probably why. didnt know it had a tiny lawnmower engine. thought it would be diesel
Found this on Diggin' Ditchin' n' Bitchin facebook page http://www.facebook.com/pages/Diggin-Ditchin-n-Bitchin/118477678225483
that'll do..I can see that working just as well....who's the manufacturer on that one..can't quite make out the decals
