  10. 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.

  19. 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

    oh god! count me out. Rather have another mini at that price.
     
  21. that price was Yen! don't have a heart attack
     
  22. greg0187

    greg0187 Moderator Staff Member

    yeah I know it was. Thats still extremely high. Almost 6 grand. sheesh.
     
  23. 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

    ya a kubota 4x4 tractor with a bucket and a backhoe is 10k used with 1000hours on it. so 6 isnt bad.

    greg0187 Moderator Staff Member

    I don't see the value. It has a $350 honda rota tiller engine on it. 1500-2000 seemed more inline. Thats a bummer...
