Looking for some justification to buy a smaller mini excavator and get rid of my 3 point bh a small mower attachment helps my justification and would be used fairly extensively. I've used small mini ex's under 6k and was amazed the amount of work you can do with one given time and some experience, plus the smaller size really helps in the tight areas I'll be using it. Don't want or need larger pieces of equipment plus the price puts it out of justification. My question is why don't they make a flail or brush cutter for the smaller mini ex's used for lighter jobs and property maintenance?Hello Jeff,
The excavator size you describe has too little a flow rate for a hydraulic drive flail shredder mower.
How difficult/time consuming would it be to cut slopes less than 15 degrees around these areas?
Thanks J
