What is a good place to look up the specs for midi excavators? I am considering purchasing a different one than I have, currently my mini is about 7000lbs then my next size is a 15000lb rubber tire hoe. I think I'd like a 12 to 14000lb mini but not sure if it could handel manholes and storm boxes. currently I use my rubber tire hoe and I had to set a manhole yesterday and I got it done but it was not fun. my front end was floating about 2 feet in the air the whole time. dose anyone here use a large mini or small midi to move precast structures?

I had a Kobelco SK70SR years ago and it would set a 48" drainage sump without the concrete curb back and drainage grate top on it. Just the sump weighed in around 4-4500 lbs and it had to be in pretty close to the machine. A 70 weighs right around 17-18000 lbs.
