The price by the time you get a radio and ship it will be slightly higher than the Eagle 870 all metal wheel loader.
I wonder if this Magom loader will dig as good as the 45 lb. Eagle loader?
Eagle = 1 motor with driveshafts, rear axle locked.
What does this all metal Magom have for drivetrain?
And how much does it weigh?
The problem with Bruder conversions is that the plastic body makes it too light for good digging traction.
Most Utubes show the Bruder's working hard digging to come up with 1/2 a bucket, whereas the heavyweight Eagle just walks right in and digs a full bucket without breaking a sweat.

My play area is usually damp so on my Magom bruder conversion the stock tires would fill up and spin. I had some 1.9" rock stompers laying around so threw them on and filled them with bb's. Added 3 or so lbs and definitely more grip. Digs much better, less scale looking but more functional.
