I am almost a complete novice to excavation equipment. It has always been a dream of mine to learn how to operate it and own my own equipment to do some side jobs to earn a supplemental income. I now have a decent tract of property that needs some work and I have a little pocket change to buy a piece of equipment. I need to make fire lane roads, clear some 20 year old regrowth, build a pond, and make a long gravel driveway. What does Aldeer say I should buy to accomplish my tasks with a beginner's knowledge?
