Backhoe Woods bh 90 x vs a mini excavator ???

[millpond]

I spent time reviewing the glowing report card on the Woods bh90x with hydraulic thumb but at 11 grand should we all be looking at used mini excavators..? I saw 15k on equipment used in the 700 hour range and 20k on
350 hour pieces. I would think you could take serious stress off your tractor,
save time having both pieces of equipment working and resell the mini after
a few good years of use. What am i missing.

The excavators can out dig a backhoe anytime! Used excavators do sell well as long as they are bought right. A backhoe to have at a persons disposal in a moments time in the future? Utopia!

I spent a lot of time this spring looking at used excavators instead of the backhoe but most of what I found for what I could afford were pieces of junk.
If you live in the east then it might pay to give Wallace a call, I bet he could beat that 11 grand price tag.
