It would be get if you could make a video showing what these machines(XH42, XH65 & HX80) can lift and place such a large retaining wall blocks, large landscape boulders. Maybe even material on a pallet with pallet folks such as a pallet of pavers or cement bags.
Sure be nice if it had a full cab armour kit to reduce risks of windows being shattered. Seems to run quite and smooth. A blade mounted raked would be a cool attachment.
This is about as small as you can go with excavators (and maybe just a tad smaller, like a CAT 304) . Anything smaller than this is pretty useless in my opinion. Those little micro excavators people are buying these days are ridiculously useless. A human can out pace them in pretty much any task. I’m sure at this point that people are just buying them to fuck about instead of actual work. This machine though. Perfect for just about anything you would need on a homestead or small landscaping company.
The small ones are good for what I use them for going in yards and fences without taking it down doing plumbing work, I’m not needing to bury a truck or dig to china I hardly ever dig deeper than 2 to 4 ft sometimes alittle deeper , smaller mini’s aren’t good for septic tanks but I’ve done a few with 3 ton mini’s
Anything smaller than a 304 (10,000lbs) machine can be out paced by a human........... Guy you must be drunk or have almost zero time running machines. With my 7800lbs machine I can easily out dig 7to10+ men with shovels if hogging out a hole. I build boulder walls and can move/push 5000+lbs rocks and pick 3000lbs+ rock up on to next couple courses. I've pushed a loaded dump truck out of the mud 23,500+lbs (loaded f800). Can load 16' live oak logs and I've picked up one end of a 3/4 truck and backed dump truck under then pushed and picked up the front end. Fully dressed (motor, trans, etc still in it. Even a 4000lbs mini will out dig a couple men, some of these are smaller but still will out work 2/3 guys over course of the day....come on now guy...
@@troyaiken3623 dude I’m not lifting boulders I’m bury water supply lines and some drain lines and if you can dig faster than a small machine come on down I’ll throw 10,000 bet on my machine versus you with a shovel, you’re the one that must be drunk thinking a person can out dig a machine dude please.
