I have 13",24", and 36"digging buckets for my 331E. I have other people operate my machine but when it comes to using the 36" bucket I have a rule. I am the only one that operates it with that bucket. They say it is rated for the machine. I think it is a bit heavy. I am glad I bought it though...

I am just wondering what is the most strange job people have had with their machines?Has anyone heard of some interesting jobs? Has anyone worked for famous people? Does anyone own some weird attachments? What is the most unique attachment you have seen or heard about.

Another thing to consider in the backhoe attachment vs compact excavator is that you can run skidsteer attachment on the excavator. I actually prefer using my breaker and auger on my 331. I can cover a lot more area without moving the machine, I can also get at areas that the skidsteer would...
