I have looked for a nice used mini-excavator for over a year,, and have not found even one for sale near me,,
I did not try the rental yards, that may have worked,, BUT!
We rode about an hour to see my daughter, and new grandbaby,,
I spotted a Bobcat mini-excavator setting on A USED CAR LOT!!
Well, I drove on the lot, the price was right,, it will be delivered next week.
It is a Bobcat E26,, original paint, 2019 year model, 24.8 HP (no emissions stuff)
It has a 24" bucket, and thumb,,
After I got home,, I decided to check opinions,,
( close the barn door, after the horse got out!!?? LOL!!
)
It appears that it is a well liked machine,, Phew!!
It is the perfect weight for moving behind my pickup,,
yet, not so light that it can not work,,
I will report back,, after I try it out for a while,,

Now,,
I need some accessories,,
