Thanks Ken and Scott for the latest input - very informative. In a perfect world, I would like a 4WD, rubber tired, extend-a-hoe mini-excavator. I like the rubber tires because they do less damage than the tracks, but will probably settle for the tracks. The area that I'll be working in is going to be pretty tight and probably moist. Like Ken, (my evil twin), I like the smaller pieces of equipment - hey, what else have I got to do. It's not like I have a job or anything else to do, what's the rush!!!
Thanks again for the help...


Just do it...
