Kubota makes good stuff and parts are readily available.
I personally wouldn't even consider a Terramite if I could buy a Kubota
of similar HP and strength for about the same money. I can't comment
on the Allmand as I've never seen one. Of course that says something
doesn't it?
My guess is that someone is about to tell me that Terramite and Allmand are
made in USA.
I don't know if that is true or not but what difference does it make if we
are looking at used equipment?
Buying new for what he needs doesn’t make much sense. If that's on his mind
he needs to take the price
of the new machine and spend that on a much larger used machine.
Just my 22 cents worth (inflation you know)

Subject: [AT] Small Backhoes?
Hello,
A neighbors son I know is looking for a backhoe. He has a house on about
1/3 an acre on a hill. Needs lots of excavation. He was thinking about
buying one instead of renting it.
I mentioned that he might be better off with a Terramite or and Allmand
since he has such a small area. Would be tough to move around on that small
parcel with a full size backhoe . He started looking around and saw that
Kubota's were less expensive.
I've used a Terramite and an Allmand and I was impressed. Never used a
kubota.
Any preferences out there?
Thanks,
Will
