Kanga mini

Never heard of this manufacturer. Aussie made. Seems to be quality. Dealers in the states. Series 5or6 I believe. Not gonna buy ATM but just looking and thought it was interesting.

That looks pretty cool, and cheap for it's potential utility assuming everything works. I'd think tracks would be better for tree stuff though.

Any mini is better than no mini. I know a guy here who runs a Kanga, not the most powerful but a machine picking up 500lbs is easier on your back. Fairly reliable machine from what he tells me.

There's a grapple available, and an image search shows some with pseudotracks that go over the tires. I wonder how well they work?

Yeah, supposedly attachments are a standard. I don’t remember which standard though (it’s been 3 hours since i read it and the information is now missing from my brain 🤷‍♂️)

Kanaga has been around forever, Ekka in Aussie had one years ago.

Over the tire tracks work but are a pain in the ass, tension is problematic, wear and tear goes up on both track and tire so double the cost in the long run, and when not running the tracks storage is an issue.

As said, any mini is better than no mini if cleaning up from removals of any significant size.
