Dirt on a Dime

This channel is about working on, upgrading, maintaining, and reviewing budget-friendly dirt equipment. We cover mini excavators, mini dump trucks, mini skid steers, and other low-cost iron from auctions, Chinese imports, and marketplace deals.
Expect honest reviews, real-world pros and cons, repairs, upgrades, and lessons learned from actually using this equipment in the dirt. No hype, no brand bias, just practical experience with affordable machines.

We work with and talk about a wide range of budget and auction-friendly equipment brands, including names you’ll often see on Chinese imports and surplus listings like S.D. Lanch, Meva, Rippa, Rhinoceros, AGT, Everun, Luyu, Hightop, Sunward, Typhon, WolfBrand, JF Machinery, Victory Machinery, HT Excavator, TopWin, Titan Attachments, VEVOR, Yescom, IronMax, ToolTuff, YardMax, SDLG, XCMG, SANY, Lonking, LiuGong, and Zoomlion, along with plenty of private-label and rebadged machines that show up at auctions and online marketplaces.
