I know these excavators only by Kita, there are several of the variety and they are very popular. Even after two years of work the (lacquer is indeed sometimes a bit off) parts yet, but that nevertheless speaks for the quality. Now I consider myself to buy one for the garden. The quality of the excavator of Winther is indeed head and shoulders, but also just 4 times as expensive. I think this model would suffice. From cheaper models I would really advise that go something of quickly broken - that's just frustration.
