I have just found a great deal 17,000 on a 2008 used mini excavator John Deere 17ZTS with a 12" bucket and 85 hours on it, which is simular to the 17D, except it has an Isuzu engine instead of the Yanmar.
I was thinking of purchasing to do some improvements to some vacant land I purchased.
Digging out the existing small pond a little (I have an existing 4x4 tractor with front end loader to move dirt)
Digging drainage ditches
Putting in utilities
Planting large trees
Two questions,
1) Are their any design problems with this machine
2) Is it large enough to do anything?
