other dog Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 A nephew of mine got one of those mini excavators a few years ago and had all the weekend work he could handle. He worked a regular job too and somebody wanted him to dig something all the time. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

David Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I have a PC40-7 that's been a great machine. It's paid for itself about a dozen times. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/12453-kid-in-candy-shop/#findComment-48812 Share on other sites More sharing options...
joes mack Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 those are good machines just be careful and check for cracks in the boom and stick and buckets because if they havent had the hyd pumps turned down they are very strong they are known to tear them selfs apart. i have run pc60s pc200s/270s 300s and pc1000s in the const and mining jobs i have been on if not turned down they come from the factory with more power than cat/hitichi machines do. joe Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/12453-kid-in-candy-shop/#findComment-48818 Share on other sites More sharing options...
