Feels quite overprized compared to their 956 960 backhoes...But if one but a 'limited number', one may feel one can ad 30-40%..

Well, here is why I think the price is high:
. A machine with a front shovel this big would need extra counter balance to keep it from tipping over.

. 1 Auxiliary hydraulic valve is required to open and close the shovel. On a conventional excavator, the excavator doesn't need this cause the bucket doesn't need to open and close.

. It is a very specialized piece of R/C construction machinery that is designed for digging into piles or above ground bulk materials efficiently.

. The under carriage must be wide enough to keep the big machine stable. All of these things cost a good amount of money to add. Add this to the average cost of a conventional RC excavator plus labour costs.
