Subject: RE: backhoe vrs excavator


Northwest IL
Buy the biggest mini-excavator you can haul behind your pickup comfortably. That's what we did and have never regretted it. So much more versatile than a backhoe and you can get in tighter, wetter, & rougher places than a backhoe ever could. Wether fixing tile, tearing out trees or ditch cleaning it can do it all. Maybe not huge land clearing projects but a backhoe wouldn't either. We even use ours for building our new irrigation pivots! As for moving it, we're spread out over 30+ miles and can be moved and unloaded long before any backhoe is even halfway to the field. Ours weighs about 14,000lbs. My f350 handles it great.
