Price Check L6060 or L47

If you want to pull a bunch of stumps get a mini ex. Good to have a separate tractor and mini ex.

An excavator would be awesome. Honestly, the L47 weight and lift capacity over my B2650 makes a ton of difference.

Question for you... What makes a mini ex better for stump removal versus a backhoe on a tractor? Is it the motion of the machine itself whereas a tractor doesn’t move around as easily?

Weight and digging force. And the ex has the blade that you drop that acts like a brake against the digging arm.

Ah good to know, thanks! I wouldn’t have thought about the blade helping with it.

There is an advertisement on the local TV
station for L47’s. PARC equipment is selling
L47’s for $5,000 off and $499.00 a month.
Sounds real good, but what’s in the fine print?

The op might check with them to get a better
idea of what the offer actually is.

They have about 4 locations in WV.

There are tradeoffs with anything, even a mini-ex. One of its strengths is easy maneuvering around the jobsite - very handy for grubbing stumps. But one of its weaknesses is getting to and from the jobsite. You either go slowly on its tracks or have to trailer it, and a mini-ex that outdigs an L47 will weigh 10,000 lbs. And the mini-ex won't bush hog your place when you're done digging. If you've got the resources and the space for multiple machines, by all means go for it. But lots of us - me included - cleared a lot of stumps with our CUT backhoe attachments over the years.

Likely that is 84 month financing with 20% down. My quick math sees that about 50k right? Seems right.

I’ll give them a call. I’m in Western Loudoun County VA so PARCS is relatively close.
