The Real Cost of My Chinese Mini Skid Steer - Was It Worth It?

In this video, I'm sharing my honest experience with buying a Chinese mini skid steer, specifically the Derette DRT450, and revealing the real cost of ownership. From the initial purchase price to shipping, taxes and other fees, I'm giving you a breakdown of what it's really like to purchase a compact track loader from China. If you're considering purchasing a mini skid steer from manufacturers like Derette, Hightop, Kymron, or Groundhog, or even a Chinese mini excavator, this video is for you. I'll discuss the pros and cons of buying from China, and whether it's worth the investment for your home, construction, landscaping, or heavy equipment needs. Is a Chinese skid loader a good alternative to brands like Bobcat, John Deere, or Kubota? Watch to find out!
