Ideal for accessing small spaces for small landscaping projects. This machine has an optional attachment so you can "ride on" it vs walk behind. Caution, the attachment can dig into the ground when in reverse. Massachusetts requires anyone that operates the machine to have a hoisting license (with the exception of using the machine with the auger attachment ONLY i.e. no bucket). See our "Temporary Hoisting Operators Permit Registration" for more information. Can lift up to 550lbs.
