Retaining walls and patio

[MossRoad]

I was actually thinking that. Or a skid steer with a backhoe attachment.

My employer has a few skid steers and a multitude of attachments. They have a backhoe attachment and it appears to be very capable.

Yeah the hydraulic capability of a skid steer makes for a very capable backhoe as well.

For me the biggest downside to a small backhoe on a tractor is the constant need to move the tractor if you're digging trenches or in a line. I think a mini excavator would be my choice if I did a lot of digging. Very nimble and usually much stronger than a similarly sized tractor backhoe.

I liked your comment on loading the front tires. A lot of people on here think loading the front tires are not what you want to do.
And if you want to do another wall, come to Alabama.

I need to do one at my house eventually, but not retaining. Just a freestanding cmu wall.

Caps going on! This wall is just about wrapped up.
