A newcomer to the market, EarthForce America, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Superstav s.r.o. of the Czech Republic. In 1998, Superstav severed ties with Mitusi Machinery, which had been selling its mini-backhoes under the Predator brand name for a few years. Soon after, EarthForce began distributing Superstav''s new product line, which includes eight medium-sized TLBs with power ratings ranging from 25 to 68 hp. The EarthForce machines offer such features as four-wheel drive, four-wheel steering, mechanical gearboxes, sideshift capability and heated safety glass cabs. At Intermat this month, the company was to unveil a new 68 hp model EF-5 with a four-speed synchroshuttle transmission.

It''s so much fun that I hope I''ll be able to let it go when he does -- when his interest turns to, say, weaponry, as everyone assures me it will. I can see myself, birthday after birthday, giving him the latest innovation in construction machinery toys, while a teenaged Riley, too shy to point out that he is now into tax law, accepts them politely and without enthusiasm.
