[QUOTE="mrbb, post: 132283, member: 13825"] yeah, I hear you on doing things with machines not meant to be used for, been there done that, and have the scares to prove it, not to mention the repair bills to fix things Andrew makes some good video's on equipment, and its uses, he is FAR from easy on his equipment, he tends to breaks things, as we once did, HAHA he just picked up a cheap MINI excavator, for 4 grand, and did this video on it, , you might enjoy but it really show cases how tipping things get, having smaller foot prints and well, lack of weight, the power of the hydraulics's on this mini seem to way over power the weight of the machine and its foot print, a novice operator, can really flip a machine like this IMO But at the price he paid(at a recent auction), I can see a machine like this being worth the costs but there really is NO one machine to do it all, backhoe's were i think designed to be such back in the day, but there lack of ability to use implements, is there killer and why so many drift to a skid steer or excavator, being able to swap implements so easy, and how much better they are at doing like jobs, , pretty much killed the backhoe IMO! like I said, renting a few machine when you have a few projects planned, can really tell you more than words on a screen ever will nothing beats using things yourself and seeing what YOU like best!, or fists your need most [MEDIA=youtube]lCDQs-G9Wv0[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
