kinda curious what you have planned for it ....i have never run one in that size range the smallest i have used are e40+.....i imagine it will be excellent in tight areas and good in other areas if your not in to big of a hurry....a mini-ex is quite a handy tool for sure....only thing i dont like about them is traveling with them they will beat the crap out of you the smaller you get .....im a bit jealous LOL

as Kbar said above use the stabilizer blade for sure

I have a lot of time on small backhoes, I am hoping that will cross-over some.

He needs several hundred feet of trench for the installation of buried power service,,

Plus,,,,!!??!!

I want to replace probably a 1/2 mile of trail I lost when our property was logged,,
I also have a couple wet weather springs that need attention,,

Projects?? they could pop up every day,,,,,

My wife CLAIMED that she has kept track,,
I have had to buy grass seed for EVERY one of the 42 summers that we have lived on this property,,
because dirt has been disturbed,,
I think she is right,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

sounds like you have perfect projects for it, im sure you know but it should have selectable control patterns so you can use it with backhoe control pattern........that machine looks to be in very good condition esp with the original paint ...
