I am looking to rent an excavator to clear 10 acres of flat land with palmettos and slash pines to 20" diameter. I am looking to rent for two weeks to give myself enough time. So far I have found two local options:
1) 18,500 lb machine with a hydraulic thumb
2) 30,000 lb machine without a thumb
I have a Kubota L5740 with a root grapple to clean up the material that I remove with the excavator. Just wondering if the 18,000 lb. machine would be able to handle the larger pines, as I sure would like to have use of the thumb. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve
