I have been looking at buying this size excavator and Kubota is one of my choices. How much time do you have on It? Wanting to do simular small jobs when I retire from my current job.

[@ResidentialDirtWork]

That's the KX 57, that one has right at a 1000 hrs on it now.

[@jeromesuggs8330]

@@ResidentialDirtWork i know every piece of equipment has it's limitations but in your opinion is it a good size for most small jobs?

[@ResidentialDirtWork]

@@jeromesuggs8330 what u mean by small? Give me some examples..

[@jeromesuggs8330]

@@ResidentialDirtWork Say digging up a 20 inch tree stumps or digging house size ponds. I was wanting to get a track loader that would run a mulching mower and 35 to 60 size excavator, six wheel dump truck and do the smaller jobs that the bigger site prep companies don't want to mess with because they are busy with subdivisions that will have 200 or more homes.

@@jeromesuggs8330 yeah the kx57 will do it. A kx40 would be to small for the items you just named. A single axle dump should be good as well. On a loader I would stay with a 75 + - horsepower machine.
