Nice looking machines.

I'm close to my first DC purchase. I'm 99% sure I'll be getting a 160 sized excavator and 125D...I was thinking 150E with a 200 sized machine but moving it would be too much trouble. The 160 is going to be my first machine and the ASV as back up for the jobs I have to have a skid steer for, such as thinning in tight spots. I think in the long run the 160 will be much cheaper to run.

I have a job with 46 acres of mixed sized harwoods from 6 to 10+ inches, I'm hoping to try out the DC there within 4 weeks.

After running the chipper blades on the Fecon going back to the carbides is painfully slow...

to add to what Robbie said...the CAT 308D and the Terex TC75 both have more flow and pressure than either the Yanmar, Kubota or Tak...can't wait to see how the Terex does soon...then I think a CAT install may be next (thanks again Robbie

Someone asked about the utility of an excavator in this application. Here's my 138 with a flail.
YouTube - mini excavator time lapse mowing

I have a lot of steep property with trails cut into it and the mini works great here.
