It's a German word for tooth (wikipedia)

Oh, so it's basically like a Toro Dingo? My brother has whatever the Bobcat equivalent is. I know he loves the heck out of it, but I think it comes down to how you run your business. If I was a solo operator, I'd consider buying one; but I could throw 2-3 good laborers at the same task and they'd have it done before that thing was off the trailer.

'but I could throw 2-3 good laborers at the same task and they'd have it done before that thing was off the trailer'

first, how hard is it to find 2-3 "good" laborers these days.

second, how much do 2-3 laborers cost compared to 1 with the machine.

Fine Edge is an unknown quantity at this point
My 2 - 3 laborers would be doing other things while the equipment was being used , that's for sure.
We have had a mini for 6 years now and it really frees up some other guys to do the things that the machine can't do. Plus, they're not slowing down at the end of the day.
Once you have one, you never want to lose it.
