Well... Been there. How much work would $10K hire done? Sounds like money tossed away I know but the initial cost of a crawler is the tip of the iceburg. They are spendy and heavy machines to maintain. If you have a lot of your own time I sugest you buy, use then sell a near new machine. I have seen way to many people start up with this idea and have to hire someone to clean up their mess.

Probably I'll get a lot of negative feed back on this but really I am trying to look out for your best interest. Get a quote. Think hard on what you are willing and capable of doing. After the big work is done and you want a crawler to keep things up I think that'd be cool. Good luck to you what ever you decide!
