Message: <blockquote data-quote="500K_773" data-source="post: 528" data-attributes="member: 33">I am returning the MT50 tomorrow after a week long rental.  I only used the machine about 10 hours during the week, but it was worth at least 5 times the rental charges for my application.  I don't want to even think how difficult the job would have been without the machine.  We backfill the excavated footers yesterday.  A 44' long x 5' wide x 1' deep trench filled with gravel took only an hour with the machine bringing the material in and dumping it while a laborer spread and leveled it.  I only needed the laborer because headroom was limited because once the MT50 dumped the material, it couldn't get it's bucket on top because the beams were then too low.  About 5 hours total to backfill 4 of these footers underneath the house.The MT50 is a great machine and if I end up with more jobs which require laborers or very tight working areas, I'll definately have to buy one.  Someone might think that it's 5 ft3 bucket capacity is barely more than a shovelful, but the MT50 can dig continuously without getting tired a lot longer than anyone would care to use a shovel.  If you have a job with that much shovel work, you are probably going to use a machine anyway.  I think the MT50 would be great for demolishion or remodel work inside a warehouses or large buildings because you should be able to fit it through most doorways.One final word to sum it all up: Invaluable!!!</blockquote>
