Looking for a good used mini excavator or a small regular excavator that we could do small clearing jobs with and do some clearing, etc. at our properties. We want a small one or a mini because of our budget and we need to be able to haul with with our 1 ton dually. Would like to cap our spending to no more than 20k to 22k for a good used machine. Of course the cheaper the better (probably need to go to an auction). We currently have an old late 70's/early 80's Case 580C backhoe, a 1974 John Deere 450C Track Loader, and a 2003 John Deere 240 Skid Steer.
