I guess I can't say much bad about any of the brands.I bought a Bobcat,but mostly because I just happened to find one in the condition I wanted.We also have a good dealer around here.Mine came from a guy that used it for doing residential cable TV installations.The ones to stay away from are off rental units.Homeowners that rent machines are destructive on them.I kept my JD backhoe around for years,thinking it might come in handy,but when it wound up sitting for years at a time I figured I didn't need it anymore.The 8000 pound Bobcat excavator and 5000 pound Bobcat skidsteer do everything the backhoe did,just faster.My two main requirements when looking for one were,pilot control,and hydraulic thumb.I would not own a small excavator without a thumb.You can clear clumps of brush,alders,black cherry,birch,blueberry bushes,junipers,etc with the thumb and hardly disturb the ground.I cut all my firewood using the thumb.I clamp it,pick it up to waist level,and cut to length.Then I can pick up the big pieces and set them right on the splitter.The blades on them are backfill blades,not bulldozer blades. They are compact excavators too,not stump rippers.
