Getting Into Excavation, Grading, Etc: My Thoughts and Opinions From My Experiences

[@MIGHTYX2010]

Thx for info. Many years ago I started out with the bobcat skid steer. Then got a second one, CAT CTL. Eventually sold both. Recently, I kind of did it opposite of you. Now that I'm getting back into it. I started out with the CAT 303 excavator first. I'll make some money with that and then go with the compact track loader again. Most likely CAT 259 but time will tell. Having both should help tackle most jobs.

Thank you for your comments. Good luck!

You aren't kidding with the bucket price. I just bought a 12" for my e35 and it was like $1430 with tax. I was floored haha.

[@carlosrochaservices6487]

Still totally worth it in my opinion!

@@carlosrochaservices6487 Absolutely! like you said in a prior video, we always use the 12" buckets for digging stumps and holding logs to cut up. Plus the usual drainage digging, gas & electric lines. Very versatile size.

Great video Carlos! I like my bobcat mini track loader mt85 and I'm in the market for a 6-7k compact track loader and considering a bobcat brand, perhaps the t550 or t450. I already have a 9k tracked machine, and want that smaller option.

Thank you Shawn! I have also wanted a smaller track loader In my area, the 500 series is very popular Plenty of power and small enough to get into tighter areas The t590 is on my list, but the e20 is going to be my next piece of equipment Do not know when I will it though Good luck!
