I was very impressed with these units.       I would be interested to see how they would hold up with time for the battery, but first impression is what an amazing tool for the homestead.

I'm looking at the 3-cubic-meter pile of wood chip out there and thinking real hard on this....certainly a compelling option if we can figure out a smoother import process. I have been somewhat drooling at the prospect an Avant E-series but the price tag is out of my reach. For simple chores around a small farm and biochar operation, those little Chinese machines might fit the use case and save wear and tear on my joints.

Hmmm.  Not bad.  Looking at his website, it looks like even with is mark-up you can still get one for about 1/3 the price of a Solectrac.  I wonder how well they compare.
