Hi @dig! I get the budget concern, but you might also want to check out brands like Lonking or SANY. They’re gaining some traction and are often priced lower than the big names. Just be sure to consider parts availability and after-sales support, as those can vary a lot with off-brand machines!
Hey @dig, I’m new here too and looking into the same thing! I’ve seen brands like XCMG and Lovol mentioned alongside Chery. Anyone here actually own one? Wondering how they hold up long-term!
