Harbor freight has a mini backhoe for $3000. Has anyone seen one, used one or knows anything about it? I guess anything beats a shovel. But I would like to get some information on its capabilities. Thanks, Mike

 

I have been to our local Harbour Freight store,and am not impressed with the quality of some of their products.I use them as a throw-away tool store.If I need a one time use tool,I look at their products.Unless you use the back hoe very much,rental is best......In that type of equipment,you can't beat name brand products.....I have a Kubota tractor,and have a front end loader,and can add a back hoe,if I wish. I have a friend who works for a local vault co. and they use a Kubota 25hp hydro.tractor with a back hoe attachment to dig graves for the vaults,little booger does a good job.

 

Agreed, how often are you going to use it? Your best bet might just be to rent the machine you need.

 

Hi, I am looking for a little back hoe to mess around with does Harbour Freight have a website? and do you know if there are any harbour freight dealers in Canada or only the states? are they chinesse peices of junk or?

 

Most of their stuff is Chinese knockoff and not good quality,throw away tools at best,my 2.$
