I’ve seen those but I’ve never seen a big one. My M59 is close to the minimum I can get by with.

That looks kinda cool. The dumbest ever were the skid steers with front mounted hoes.

Plus those attachments are like 10k. Talk about the worst of both words.

Hate skid steer operators hot dogging it thinking they’re good operators.

Sorry this should be in the pet peeve thread.

Kinda looks like a fun backyard toy to me.

Yep. There are a lot of TLBs still used here too.

A backhoe makes far better sense for municipal use. The backhoe could be on the job before the excavator gets loaded up. I guess you could leave it loaded up but now you need a dedicated truck and trailer that’s more money. And you have to get out of the cab in bad weather to chain it. If you’re going to hook it behind a tractor that still only goes 25 mph it makes even less sense.

Plus the hoe can run halfway down the block (or?)to grab sand for backfill.
