[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1385665, member: 9096"] there are "Midi" excavators.. still small enough to haul behind a pickup, but much more capable than a mini... I don't know what kind of land you have, but if you have as many big boulders to dig up as we do, a bigger machine will not only be more effective, it'll be less hard on it as well. Alternately, find an old JD350B (or 450) crawler loader with a backhoe attachment.. that's what we've got, though the hoe is worn out like heck and leaks like a sieve, it has done a lot of work (3000' of water line buried 6-8' deep in TOUGH conditions)... You can get the JD350 for about $5K and a good hoe for about the same... For a small machine the JD350 can move some serious rock, I've dug out 4' round rocks, and rolled some 6'ers.. [/QUOTE]
