Thank you

Hitachi builds a great mini excavator. Hopefully deere continues to use Hitachi built machines

[@canadiansnowmobiledude1125]

I hope so too!

[@precisionfilms3777]

If you only had one which would you choose?

[@canadiansnowmobiledude1125]

I’d probably go with the 50, biggest reason being its ability to load tri-axle dump trucks. Can only load off a pile with the 35.

nice machines i’m lookn to get one good info thanks

[@canadiansnowmobiledude1125]

No problem 👍 hope this helped

[@rontopping2048]

I own same machines , Hitachi /deere and takeuchi builds best minis

[@canadiansnowmobiledude1125]

I agree, I’ve pretty much tried everything on the market and there’s a reason I went with these ones!

Looking at getting the lil brother to those two, 17g coming to the Cay. Anything to watch for?

[@canadiansnowmobiledude1125]

I’ve rented the 17G several times, very user friendly little unit. The factory thumb on them is surprisingly strong too. I don’t think they offer many packages but that would be my buy if getting into that size class, bobcat, kubota, tackeuchi and cat are fairly clunky in that size class.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll be featuring the purchase process on my channel to help others as well.@@canadiansnowmobiledude1125
