Start small, work in some excavating where you can, as long as you have the machine already, work it when you can, maybe pull a truck when needed and use it with the backhoe. Feel out the market by advertising a backhoe service, do the jobs as they come in,Build it up over time, I think that is the best route. Any pics of the trucks??? GOOD LUCK!:thumbsup
