Excellent tpike! You won't regret it, there's hardly more fun to be had with your clothes on than operating a backhoe. Be sure to post some pics for everyone to enjoy with you /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Mine came with a 16" which seems to be working well for me. I've heard the narrow ones may clog in clay soils. Bigger may bog down the hoe. I guess it depends on your uses and your soil.

I have the 9" and fully expected to have a larger one by now. It has only clogged once, which easily fell out. When I do narrow trenches, they are about 12" wide. So it is real nice for water lines, etc.

So, soil type makes all the difference. Mine is very rocky (duh!)
