Thinking about a Mini-X ... ?

[Tomtint]

A bunch of years ago I bought a used 6000 hour KX121.. had it for 7 or 8 years, put another 500 or so hours on it and sold it for more than I paid for it. Bought a new Bobcat E35 with a long stick. ..Bobcat is not as strong as the Kubota was, but it’s more comfortable, has AC and heat , radio, 3rd valve etc. used it yesterday for about 4 hours loading brush and logs to bring to the town drop off day.. A mini X is so much faster at this than any other method .

My Little Baby Fergie is about the same size as your BX ... And while the 008 is smaller than I'm looking at ... I'm curious on how you would compare the 008 to the BX w/BH in actual digging performance?

I understand the moving "problem" quite well!

Digging is somewhat similar I’ve dug trenches, almost 6 feet deep and several feet long with a little excavator also pulled out stumps that were up to 14 to 15 inches in diameter just takes more time unless you’re doing large projects. A small excavator in my mind is the way to go because it is more movable can get into tighter places and we’ll do 90% of any job you want done
