The machine came all prettied up. Fresh paint, clean as a whistle and perched on the back of a trailer. It started on the first try and ran right down the ramp to become mine. I then started beating it to death on the rocky ground at my property. It's an awesome little machine. I can dig, pick up rocks, level and landscape all from one machine. It's heavy enough that I haven't tilted it yet, even with the small footprint. Whoever went through this machine before sale did a good job; there have been no problems at all. Actually, the only negative I can think of is that I should have bought one sooner.
