I'm very tempted at buying the Princess Auto towable excavator... about 5k, so probably around 6-7k when all is said and done. (Taxes and shipping etc). A lot of money to spend, but it would do a lot of things that I would end up having to rent an excavator for anyway, so it would pay for itself. Been watching lot of videos on it and it actually looks quite capable for the price. Something to ponder on during winter, and maybe next year I'll do it. I am expecting to have my mortgage nearly paid off by next summer so that will help.
