but ended up buying 1 of these instead…
Anyone who says, “You should have bought a backhoe instead” has never used an excavator. 
What a fun (and very useful) toy, I have a list of projects a mile long already including digging a foundation for a barn/garage and geothermal heat. The list goes on!!!
Oh and before anyone says it, yes of course I am digging and building a bunker too!
There’s a willybeen joke here somewhere…
Those little deeres are spendy!
I am super jealous. Nice tool.
Now I wont have to call Tri_county next time I need one!
Very few people are going to get the orange whip thing.
Cool tractor
Looks the same color to me?
I was waiting for that. 
^^The old guys will get it.
^^^Tri-County just lost a regular customer.
One of my favorite tools. I even have a trailer to transport it.
poor willybeen
You can snake it between trees, spin the cab AND swing the stick. They really are versatile. I am sure I will have 3 different buckets and a thumb before long too.
My buddy and I use that scene in conversation all the time. Make sure before they deliver it that they switch it to “backhoe” operation so all the controls are backwards. 
love that movie
“Meh, they’re are nicer colors, aesthetically speaking, but that is pretty badass. I would like to own an excavator some day.”
@Paulo
Yes. Yes I would.
A different color whip would get the job done at a fraction of the price.
Big tits, slavery, and hammers, they get shit done.
Oh deer lord.
