Key Questions to Ask When Ordering Excavator Rake For Sale

Thanks for all of the info.

I was thinking of a zero tail spin so I could potentially get it in closer to structures - so I guess I know what one of of the benefits might be - what are the drawbacks (besides they seem more expensive)??

I would probably be looking at something in the 6000-7000 pound range so that I could tow it behind a pickup.

I do all of my own maintainence on all of my vehicles and equipment - so I would in all likelihood do all of the maintainence on an excavator if I was to purchase one too.

To be honest I do not have specific jobs in mind (yet). I was not looking to make a living with this - I would doing jobs on the side, or maybe renting it out as the opportunities arose.

What got me thinking of doing is next year I will be looking for some tax deductions. I have wanted an excavator for doing some personal work - but I cannot justify the cost on that alone. Due to my financial situation I would be able to do a large tax write off next year - and that fact combined with the possibility of getting a small business going on the side has got me thinking of an excavator.

So from my research so far it sounds like I would want the following:

- I think I want a cab, makes it easier to work in inclement weather.
- 6000-7000 pound range so I can tow behind pickup or equivalent
- angle blade for reasons previous poster mentioned
- quick connect bucket
- accessory hydraulics
- small bucket (12 or 16?) - and larger "cleanout" bucket
- thumb (I have a tractor and there are numerous times I could have used a thumb)

Things I may want:

- zero turn?? (what are plusses and minuses)

I work at a U.S. Equipment Attachment Manufacturer that will remain nameless as Forums do not and should not be commercials. For Land Clearing applications as in most cases the right tool for the job makes your day a lot easier.
To the point; we see the trend for land clearing with Excavators to certainly equip the machine with a coupler. The icing on the cake is to also equip the machine with a Thumb. The Thumb should be designed to stay on the machine when you uncouple (We are careful not to say “drop”) an attachment. The coupler then allows you to swap from the bucket for digging out a rock or stump to then change to the rake for sorting debris from the soil for loading trucks or grinders. The Combination of the Thumb and the Rake actually provides a “grapple” type attachment for in most cases less $$ than buying a grapple.
We see in the States a real variation in regions and their preferences on the types of thumbs and if contractors even use thumbs. Any type of thumb is better than no thumb and it is almost humorous to watch operators do a balancing act with their machine to load material with no thumb when they could have loaded the same in seconds if they could get a grip on their material. If the bulk of your work is above ground and involves material other than dirt consider the Bucket, Coupler, Thumb, Rake combination. No the arrangement is not cheap but neither is your time and fuel.
Hint, Buy your combination attachment package from the same manufacturer so all products fit each other and there is one source of responsibility if there is any issues.
Have a great day all and try not to break anything.
