Hello all, new to the forum and very new to heavy equipment. I have bought 2-1/2 acres of treed land that needs clearing, house/shop needs building, landscaping, ditching needs doing. I am looking to buy an excavator to see me through this project, and this certainly seems like a place where a lot of good information gets shared. Alan
Sounds like a cool project. Welcome to the forum. Can you post some pics of the property and your progress?
Not much to show at this point, just some trees that need clearing! I want to wait till I get a machine before I get a faller to knock anything over. Any one know of a good machine for sale on VI? Alan
