The excavator for sure big robotic arm with many attachments as well quick tach and in and out hydro for multiple things plus the 360degree turn but the rubber tire backhoe works but you can lift larger objects with the excavator the excavator can dig basements plus weld or make a jib for trust settings with the in and out hydro you could make a winch like crane jib for the excavator with cable and hook and a nice skid loader for loader work and the excavator can lift a septic tank and move it if the truck can't get to it or if you have to lift storm boxes and move them as well then with a thumb great for other work on big pipe jobs you can pull a pipe trailer or move it just like a rock box and you can reach and set the pipe in the ditch then if pulling concrete and no room for a truck pull it right behind you because or the 360degree turn radius or can leave a lane open for traffic the rubber tire hoe don't do so well in muddy ares
