I don't plan to register the backhoe for road use or anything like that,as it will be transported to and from the jobsite.My main concern is I don't want to invest my money into it and then later on there is some family dispute and police by my doorstep looking for the equipment.I believe they are in the process of going through the probate(I could be wrong on this) but I just want to safeguard myself and not lose my money.
Any advice would be much appreciated.Thanks in advance

The biggest determining factor at this point would be the price, if the price is REAL good it may be worth the risk as you can easily recoup your investment in short time,so I ask again is it a backhoe with tyres or a tracked excavator ?
If it's a backhoe is it a jcb btw ? Bear in mind such backhoes are very limited in what they can do and is more suited as a jobsite tool for a general contractor etc than an earthmoving tool for an earthworks contractor looking for performance and capability to be able to charge a lil 10-15k and mash up a lil wuk in a 2-3 days ,mini exacavtors on the other hand are little giants that you can make serious money with if you know you stuff.. that's where you can charge excavator rates because no matter the size excavators can go where nothing else can and create useable land where nothing else could..
Those lil backhoes maybe good to dig small house foundations ,small irrigation trenches ,manage small sites and supplement other machines, but if you're looking to make good money with earthworks you gotta go the excavator route..
You can do an easy 40-50 k a month with a good mini with a good operator with good visibility of your offerings..you could start off with a day rate so you can see what the machine can do in a day but after that charge job rates..supercharged turbo wrote:As the title says,I'm looking for some advice on a machinery purchase.I'm getting a deal on one of those mini backhoe.The guy is selling the mini backhoe which was brought in by his father but his father has since passed away.They brought in the equipment with some foreign used parts in a container.

This is a totally new field that I'm thinking about going into mainly because of the price for the backhoe.I"ll try to see if they are willing to sell the excavator instead.VII wrote:Mini backhoe or mini excavator ?
