I bought an older T5C and just it got delivered. I was driving it around in the dark and it runs good. I am going to put it to work tomorrow. Anybody else ever used one? What did you think? It seems like a strong little tractor to me. (update)I really like the T5C it is 4 times as strong as my old wheel horse 180 ark loader/brantley backhoe! It is great. I also picked up this AMT 622 with hydraulic dump bed today! COOL! It runs and works good just needs some new seats and plastic. Any body else got one???? I would like some info.

A buddy of mine has one and I have used it to work on my gravel driveway. It's a nice little tractor but it does have it's limitations. Seems to be a little underpowered with just the 2 cylinder engine and if it was four wheel drive it would be better. I used the back hoe to pull up a couple of 4 inch tree stumps and it worked okay. My buddy lives about 300 yards up my street and it took quite a while to drive it to my house as the hydro drive is real slow. The hydro drive is controled by a foot pedal and after using it for a while my foot got tired as it's not that easy to control. It did the job for me but I don't think I would buy one.

Looks like the green thing needs some paint on them rust spots. I think Orange or B- yellow would look good.

My brother-in-law has one of those Terrimites. I fell in love with it the first time I saw it. He uses it for everything. His son-in-law is building a log cabin from scratch. He bought all his logs cut into a rectangular shape from a local sawmill to his specifications. I was extremely surprised at how well that Terramite handled the logs. They had built a set of forks to attach to the bucket. Those are very well built machines. I have also looked one over at a local hardware store that has one for rent. I've been wanting one, but just can't see paying the new price. Been looking for a good used one myself.

Terramites are pretty common around here. The price looks steep initally, but once you take a look at the JD 110 Backhoe and the Kubota BX-series backhoes and their prices, you'll go right back to looking at the T-mite.
