That hitch would be great for a sled. Pile rocks or whatever on the sled and take it with you. Useful if you don´t have a skid steer.

No you were right, Big Daddy. I was talking about your dumping trailer. To post photos, go to attachments and browse your picture files and select the ones you want to post, no need to resize anymore. Also search this site for better instructions.
On Sleds: I don't know if I would tow too much with a small excavator, see thread on final drives $$$$.

Make sure you got insurance.
Have hand tools on hand, shovel, crowbar, pick axe, old axe for cutting roots, saw for cutting branches, tools to maintain the equipment, etc, basically have everything you may need on a job at hand to save having to travel to and fro or having to go and buy it to get a job done.
Do you carry fuel for the machine?
What sort of attachments/spare buckets do you have for the ex? This depends on the sort of work you are going to be doing but if you are doing hard digging you may need to look at getting a ripper or narrow bucket with tiger teeth. A final trim bucket is handy to tidy up/level off/load light material but they all cost a pretty penny.
The there is the thumb attachment, hammer/compactor, auger unit and probably others I have missed but it is a matter of getting out there and seeing what sort of jobs are required and the sort of attachments you need to do them. No point shelling out $$$$'s for a hammer to have it sit idle for 364 days of the year.
Once you got all these sexy attachments you'll want a quick hitch, preferably automatic to save getting out the cab
Also be careful where you dig, as there can be anything under the ground.
Best of luck

looks good smarty. haven't had a chance of running a kubota excavator yet but liked their utility tractors/hoes. Funny how they always look bigger in the photos

I have the same trailer too and would like to see those rear stabilizers. The ramps are rated for 5000lbs loading, doesn't your machine weigh more than that? Have you reenforced them?
