We have a L47 as well. An incredible machine. Don't think there is anything we can't do with it on our homestead. From clearing forest, digging septic, foundation, or just mowing. I'd give you my truck before I'd give up Jerry, our L47.
Rented an excavator a couple times. One week was good weather, the first time it was not at all nice weather. Being able to use when you can without tearing stuff up is valuable lol
We stumbled upon this video and glad we did. We felt like we were listening to ourselves, haha. We are looking to buy a piece of equipment to help us on our property too and you two explained our thoughts and reasoning perfectly in making our decision to buy. We couldn't have explained it any better. We hope your new tractor serves you well. We are leaning towards a mini-excavator.
It sounds like you too, need a tractor in your life! We have been busy getting rid of potholes on our 1.5 mile driveway, moving logs, digging out old stumps and many other things. Hopefully you will find your mini to be just as helpful as we are finding our tractor to be!
