Buying Advice BH? Is it worth it?

For productivity I'd need one 25 to 35 hp tractor, one 45-60 hp skid steer, one 15k excavator.

Don't need a loader on the tractor when you own a skid steer, don't need a backhoe if ya got an excavator..

Then again.. it sure is nice to get on one machine and be able to do multiple jobs, don't forget front hydraulics with SSQA hook up.

Short n sweet. YES. Mine is like my 3rd hard. Can't pick nose with it but other then that it's great for so many things. Breaking tire beads, digging hole, pulling brush
Greatest in invention since fireworks!

Love my new backhoe. I put off projects, like running water lines and drainage ditches for over 14 yrs because "someday" I will just rent a backhoe, only there's always better things to do.
