[AT] Small Backhoes?

[Mike Sloane]

Then, of course is the old Struck Magnatrac, which is still in
production. But you can find used ones are fairly reasonable prices. The
nice thing is that the company still supplies replacement parts at
reasonable prices. And, yes, they are built in the USA in Cedarburg WI.

The new ones are all hydraulic but not available in kit form. Mine was a
kit and the track drives were via belts and chains.
