This is probably a frivolous purchase but I've wanted to try one of these mini excavators for several years now. This particular one was being sold by a church friend so all the better to help him out and also get something I've wanted. I didn't know he was selling it until I ran across it on Facebook Marketplace. The friend purchased the excavator a year or so ago and was using it at his place when all of a sudden there were no hydraulics to speak of. He said there is probably 4 hours' worth of use on the machine. He bought and installed a new pressure relief valve and hydraulic pump, but neither of those solved the problem. He decided to put it up for sale because he was done trying to fix it. Here's a photo from the ad.
