    angle blade?

    If the trench collapses and you're running along it with that blade, you're in trouble. To it and back is much safer. Your heaviest load is 3 feet or so back from the trench. Along the trench it's right at the edge. I used to do it with mine. Fell in but boomed over fast enough to not go...

    Do you run your mini-x at full throttle?

    The thread is in the mini excavator forum. So, i figured that was what the question was about too. Mine are wot for digging. If not, they tend to heat up a little. I do slow them down for diggin in tight areas. But, without wot, the speed of the stick, bucket digging, boom, and slew, are...

    two brother. KX161-3 and U50-3

    Wow, on the last picture. I'd thought of doin the same with a Fuso and a Dump. Have ramps to load a Takeuch 070 in. Love my Fuso FK box truck. Load my Take 015 in the box. Roll the door down. Use the lift gate to put it up there.. Put a couple concrete buggies in with it and you...

    People who own or have used Yanmars!

    I gotta say, Takeuchi's have out performed others in there weight class time and time again. I've run them for a long time. And, it's like they have a extra 20 percent weight on them. Put a 145 up against any other 10,000lb machine and it will always out dig it. Only bad part is there aux.

    looking at Mini Ex

    What I did was a 015 for small, 135 for medium, 070 for big. I'd like the 138 but the 135 is going strong so why pay more money.

    $ per hour

    Ultra mini vs. 1.5 ton

    Have a old takeuchi 015. Great rig for down to about 6 to 7 feet. I've gone 9 feet and it's work. For concrete tear out the 007 wouldn't work. I've used the o15 but, I'd go minimum a 035 takeuchi. That's just me though. I wouldn't even bring a 015 for a driveway. The small are more...
