    Newcomer equipment questions....Case?

    I love the case excavators! They have a lot of digging power, and smooth to operate, the deeres and cats are good, but you cant go wrong with a case excavator! They are very fuel efficent. They only bad thing about them I can think of, is they dont have the most powerful swing motors. Hope this...

    Help me pick a pond maker.

    If you already have the excavator, i you dont really need a huge dozer, the 1150 looks way too beat up, the 550 looks nice, but its too small, and a 550 is not hydrostatic, but its not very hard to get used to the controls. I would get the ctl because, you can also mow, etc. but get a larger on...

    How big to go

    Depending on what you want to do and what areas you will be in, its definitely worth looking into a 20 ton or around there size zero tail swing, with an hydraulic thumb and q/c.
