I'm looking for a 30,000-50,000 lb. cable backhoe, preferably in working condition. It's completely fine if it needs paint or modest repairs to the clutches/brakes/cables and other things that are reparable, but ideally it would be something that will be able to start and drive onto a trailer, or at least be able to be loaded by another machine on the premises.
I have found a Link-Belt in Worcester, MA, for sale on Facebook, but the seller hasn't seen my messages in the several days since I sent them. I also have a possible lead on an Insley in Fayetteville, NC. But I have no contact with the owners of either yet, and pouring over craigslist and Facebook pages as well as used equipment sites has yielded nothing else thus far, so I thought I'd put out more feelers. I would prefer a diesel machine, but if the right gasoline-powered unit was available, that would be an option. Any brand - Bucyrus, Insley, Koehring, Link-Belt, Northwest, Bantam - I'm sure there's more than that, but those are the more common ones that come to mind.
