I am looking to start excavating in the 2016 season (for insurance reasons because I won't be 25 until July 2015 and want to build up some credit to help reduce it) but am looking for my equipment now. I am not in a rush but have my eyes peeled for a truck, trailer and excavator that I want.
I ran a Hitachi Ex120 for a few years and loved it! we never had issues moving 500 gallon septic tanks but I'd really love a machine capable of setting a 1000 gallon tank so I'm looking to possibly jump up in size to a larger machine.
Out of the 590d and ex160, which is a stronger machine and how readily available are parts for either model?
