Hi everyone, in the near future I will be buying a mini excavator, probably in the range of 2 ton-8 ton in order to start a small excavation business. It is gonna be pulled by a 1 ton ford (7.3 diesel) and probably be hauled around in a large dump trailer that can serve as a "dump truck" and a trailer for towing the machine around as well.
My question first off is, would this idea be profitable? I know here in WNY that construction is a veryyy large industry and I constantly see machinery and dumptrucks everywhere, so I figured thats a plus for me.
Also, my other main question is this: what could I specifically do with the machine? I have some ideas for the ad that I will be creating in the near future, and they are:
-stump removal
-small drainage and trenching
-digging up rocks/old concrete/blacktop
-creating small ponds/low lying areas of water
I would love to know what you guys all use your excavators for or what some ideas I could use mine for, just so I have a broader understanding of what I can do with it.
Thank you all very much, all input is greatly appreciated!!
