BH77 backhoe vs KX008 Tiny-Mini Excavator

I checked the manual, my Mahindra CC works the same as the one on the garden tractor.

My L3240 was an electric controlled HST where economy series tractors are usually linkage. I doubt they work the same way.

If you are just digging 1 reasonably small hole & not needing to reposition the machine, both will dig based on the machine weight. The excavator is going to excel at digging & moving. But you are only digging 1 hole, so not really digging & moving simultaneously. A tired machine will literally drive circles around an excavator. The excavator is going to be a rough ride topping out at 2mph while the tractor is cruising at 15mph or so.

Presumably you wont be unloading the excavator right at the digging spot. So it will be a slow treck off the trailer to the dig spot(s). Then you sit In 1 spot digging a small hole. Possibly repeating that after moving a fair ways. The excavator will dig better, but I'm guessing you'll spend more time driving with either machine than digging. In which case the tired machine wins.

Not to mention the extra maintnance of another machine.

I have a kubota kh-41 about 3,300lb machine. I wouldnt want to go much smaller. Mine is about 38in wide and very un stable on the side and travel is slow. With that being said theres nothing more nimble than a small excavator. Being able to go backwards, forwards and even swing 360* in any direction while goiing backward/foreward saves a ton of time. My boom pivots so i can dig right up against a building.

I have no problems digging holes with this machine. I also have an auger attachment for it.
