I have an older mb300 and have used it for many years. If you want easy digging wait till after a big rain. They dig fast that way. Even backhoes have trouble in dry ground. Over all they are pretty good. I added 4 trailer hitch jacks to the frame for more stability when getting ready to dig. The towable part, If you are towing very far secure the boom with come alongs for extra safety.

“FROM CANADA
This has been one of my best purchases. It is an efficient and well-made machine.
PURCHASE
I live in southern Alberta, Canada. I had Jansen USA ship the purchased backhoe to a Montana shipping warehouse. It was stored there until I drove down with a trailer to pick it up. Three warehouse lads and a dollie helped me lift the large wooden box it comes in into the trailer. At the Canadian customs crossing the officers charged me GST on the purchase price (remember to take your payment receipt with you). Other Canadian provinces will charge PST as well. There was no foreign duty.
ASSEMBLY
I am a mechanical engineer, and did not have a problem assembling the unit.
FUNCTIONALITY
This machine is a workhorse. I bought it to renovate an old road on my property; however, once the backhoe was operational I found all sorts of other jobs for it to do including crudely leveling my back yard for a brick patio, creating a ramp to the front door, and digging out a compost pit. It has also been towed to a friend’s garden to do work there. I bought the unit in March 2020 (just before the border closed) and it has been heavily used during the months the ground wasn’t frozen. It is now November 2021 and I am finishing up the old road. When working in the hot sun, I attached a flexible camp chair umbrella to the backhoe seat for shade. I made wooden shoes for the foot spikes when walking the machine across my asphalt driveway.
PARTS
The machine has been used a lot and I have had to replace a few nuts and an hydraulic hose as they wore out. They were a standard size and easy to find at the local hardware store. Important points to remember are to replace the hydraulic fluid periodically and lubricate moving parts, as suggested in the manual.
SERVICE
Jansen Customer Service is good. There is someone in their office who responds to emails (1-2 days) and is knowledgeable. They carry parts for their machines and will ship the items to you.
CONCLUSION
This little machine has saved me thousands of dollars in landscaping and equipment rental fees. It paid for itself within a couple of months. The jobs take longer because the machine is smaller but you can do it when you want, when the weather is suitable, and when you feel like it. You don’t have to book a contractor.”

i own very rocky ground and there is no way i could excavate or trench without it –

The mb300 has saved me tons of money in rental fees but not in expense , as now I find more to do with it. I’ve built ponds, dug out for a small foundation, and dug trenches for electric and water on my property. Well worth the money and the customer service is great!

I’ve had this machine for a year now and I can’t overstate the quality, power, or reliability of this little monster. I’ve seen people write on other forums and reviews that towable backhoes are “good for digging in grass” or “in soft dirt.” Let me tell you – I’ve moved giant boulders with this thing, pulled 4 x 3 x 3 foot boulders out of holes in the ground, dug through rocky soil, etc. It is an absolute monster. After the winter this year the engine started on the first pull, as it always does, every time. Just wear your seatbelt when you use it. The machine is light but its power isn’t. The machine can easily lift its own weight. Not in a dangerous way, but in a way that if whatever you’re trying to move is going to give you a fight, the machine might lift itself a little. So the seatbelt keeps you firmly in the seat. I can’t imagine most people will use it for the obscene workloads I threw at it, but just an FYI. 10 thumb up – exceptional quality machine.

Knowledgeable and friendly service ; Lee is the best! I purchased the MB-300 and WOW what a beast! It’s the help I have desperately needed. Thanks Jansen for offering this quality machine!
Rick Reed –
bought this the summer of 2023, pretty impressed with it so far. have a lot of projects around the house that I’m going to use this for, just toying around with it has been fun , The staff at Jansen were great to work with , Assembly by myself was a bit interesting. but got it done.

I purchased this Back Hoe about a year ago to help out on my small horse ranch. I have used it on numerous projects. I also purchased the thumb to help remove larger rocks and the thumb works okay but not great. In soft to moderate soil, the back hoe is great. I have also dug a 5 foot deep hole in hard rocky ground. I had to chain the back hoe to my truck to keep it from pulling forward. I think I maxed out the capacity of this little back hoe but it performed well. The engine works fine but the carburetor jets tend to get dust in them but it is not hard to clean them.
Andrew Garth –
This is a great little machine, it works its ass off and does everything and more I could expect of it.

I bought this backhoe about three years ago after doing a ton of research on towable backhoes. After many hours of research I came to the conclusion that this was the best one on the market and over the years this has proven to be the case. I own 10 fairly rocky acres in Southern Arizona and between digging waterlines and the foundations for my house, shed and greenhouse this backhoe has served me very well. Of course there have been other projects like digging holes for trees and some drainage ditches where this backhoe has performed very well. I have also loaned it out to neighbors for a few of their projects and have only heard good things from them as well. Also; in the three years I have owned this backhoe it has never broken down. I did lose the owners manual though but when I contacted customer service they sent me a PDF of the manual within a day. Bottom line…This is the best towable backhoe out there and you can’t possibly go wrong buying it. You won’t be disappointed.

I have 2 older backhoes, and this machine is awsome. It starts easly, and I can move it around quickly, so I can get my jobs done fast.
