well i am not very inclined in the mini-ex department, i have only started recently looking into it. i am wondering what everyones opinion is on a good mini-ex for my possible situation. i do mostly concrete work right now(full time) with my father, we have been contemplating a mini-ex for jobs that we have to dig out for, bust out work, and other misc. work. it has to fit in a 7x14 dump trailer that would be pulled by a 3500 hd cummins so id say about a 5 ton max on the weight. how would a mini with a blade work for digging out for say a driveway pad, or a sidewalk or other situations? what about the lift capacity for the mini's? ive been looking at specs online but i cant seem to find lift capacity on most pieces of equipment. i am basically looking for any thoughts or opinions on this subject, thanks for the input.:usa
