0.8 tn ,,one step up from a shovel ,,has it got expanding track frame as those little things are like kangaroos on drugs

You mean these?

No offset dig
No expanding tracks

Warranty?
Parts backup?
Longevity?

Resale value?

Good luck.

Why not spend 6-7k on a tidy used Kubota?

You can get a brand new Bobcat micro for £14k
