U can deffinetly do what your talking about... I'd find a good deal on an expensive one...find somebody that knows about em to look it over for u for a small fee it'll pay itself back in long run

As stated, undercarriage is a big deal, condition and type of tracks, fluid leaks, how many hours and maintenance records.
I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

I sort of don't have one. Everything I buy I need to get value in. I want to use it a year and sell it for around what I paid. So if $15k, 30k, 60k get me that, it's all relative. You can't hide money. 😆

Get a pik to go on it for stumps. Don’t use the bucket. A pik can cut your time in half and pull up way less dirt

As abolt said theys alot to look at and if you dont know what your lookin at it might as well be a ufo...pretty much...if you aint makin money with it i wouldnt fool with anything much bigger than a 50hp mini ex...heres my reccomendation...if it's feasible..get you a backhoe woth an extendahoe and a clamshell bucket... cause youll have to get a big mini ex to compare in strength to a 90hp backhoe plus you cand drive it aroulnd like a tractor whereas youd just about have to trailor an excavator

Avoid the headaches, just hire a owner/operator and let the man that knows what he is doing do the work. No fun in that. The reason I have a farm is to screw around on tractors etc. Killing deer is just a side benefit. I've never been know to do things the easy way.

If you stick with a Deere, Cat if you found the right one to buy you could easily get your investment back out of it or close to it. if you arent going to have to transport it around Id look for a 200,210,225 size excavator. Pretty common size and you can do a ton of work with one. If you find a unit you like it would be wise to pay to have that brands dealer tech come out and do a look over on it. The dealer tech not only will be looking at condition, but he also will have the inside knowledge of say, this model is known for pump failures, or this one has weak drives etc. A couple hundred spent up front to avoid a lemon model machine could save thousands. I cant emphasize it enough. No matter how good a deal do not buy one with a DPF or DEF system on it. We have replaced several DPF units on some fairly new machines at a cost of $10-12k.

And whatever you do, DO NOT get an excavator stuck. Unless you have a dozer or good size wrecker with a damn good winch handy they can be a bitch to get out or work them deeper trying to get out.
I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction.
