    BUYING Mini_Excavator (8Ton)

    I'd go Volvo, assuming their support is up to par. Unfortunately you won't know this until you really need help, I'd opt for the Doosan before the Hyundai strictly based on their partnership with bobcat. If a brand like bobcat is willing to allow doosan to supply their power plants, I'd be...

    E32 Bobcat or 35D Deere

    I rented a 17d for a farm job, trenched about 250' through 6' of pure rocky, gravel hell! But that Deere impressed the heck out of me. Can't speak on the bobcat but at the trade show we were at recently bobcat had an extendable stick option on the e32 which looked really, really handy. That...

    Kubota r520s, pros? Cons?

    I have been considering the idea of a 520s but I can't seem to find much consumer input. This machine would be used at the yard to handle small amounts of fill, gravel, and possible feed a small screener. I could also see it being and excellent backup during the winter season for snow removal...
