What happens here

For more specialized digging or larger excavation projects, consider adding a mini excavator to your fleet. When choosing an excavator, prioritize a machine with a good power-to-weight ratio to ensure it can handle challenging digging conditions without getting stuck. Avoid large excavators (e.g., 18,000-pound to 40,000-pound models) unless you have long-term contracts with home builders for large-scale basement excavations. Similarly, steer clear of small walk-behind units, as they are generally too inefficient for significant hardscaping work. If you're uncertain about the exact make or model of equipment you need for specific tasks, rent it first to test its capabilities and suitability for your projects before committing to a purchase.

Goal: Identify and test specialized heavy equipment for larger or niche projects.

out of there safely and securely but to get back very specifically if we're gonna be looking at a bobcat I wouldn't go with your absolute largest or your absolute smallest they make mid-size machines that function just fine and what you want to look at is a midsize machine and you also want to look at how the boom arms come up if they come straight up you're gonna have a difficult time loading dump trucks but if they come up and move out over the machine then you're gonna be able to get over the top of a dump truck so if a dump truck sitting there the Bobcat comes up and the boom arms moves straight up you gotta crawl right up there and a lot of times you dump the dirt right on your own head but if that arms will move up and as they move it moving up they move forward it allows you to get the dirt away from me to dump inside that dump truck I would not go with one of those walk-behind units Josh they're just too small to in effect too inefficient for getting into larger hardscaping projects you can easily rent that stuff and this is where I'm going with this and if you don't know the exact make and model of the equipment that you want to choose you have an idea rent it rent it try it out [Music]
