Mini Excavator ,or Small Backhoe

TLBs are here to stay. Excavators dig better but the versatility of a TLB can’t be beat. And dollar per dollar the brute force of a TLB can’t be beat.

Telex started as mining equipment manufacturer , but has bought many small equipment lines. I have used their cranes and man lifts. Both types were bare bones machines but worked fine

TLB's are not outdated. Excavators way better at excavating, claw picking stiff up, craning and dozing. Skid or track steer moves material much better/faster than TLB. If your down to one machine I'd pick the TLB. Fortunately I kept my excavator, but that backhoe sure is a handy counterweight.

I agree.
