Strengths Great machine for tight areas. Maneuverability is un-equaled for a machine with a hoe permanently attached. Visibility is great. Light weight make it easily towable. The digging force with the hoe is great. The hoe side shifts witch is great for digging against buildings. The zero degree turning radius is a plus.

Weaknesses Lifting capacity is lower than a skid steer of equal weight. Standard hydraulic flow is a little low. Cant put tracks on it .

Overall It is a very smooth running machine. That allows you to dig a trench , place gravel in the trench and back fill without leaving the seat. If your looking for a small “dose it all” machine then I would recommend the 208S
