Personally, when I do build my house, it’s going to be out on some land, and it’ll probably actually make sense to have some of this equipment for land maintenance and future projects.

I ended up getting a skidsteer. My land is rocky, so I will need to call in an big excavator to dig my basement, but I can move all the piles around and backfill, so I'm still way ahead. And I can fork materials and get my driveway graded level whenever it gets too lumpy.

Thanks for the continued info! I'm planning on doing a basement dig and I'm pretty sure I'll have to hire out. But I'd love having the toys!

Unfortunately, the EPA has made anything newer with a diesel motor over minimal horsepower super expensive to maintain with their emissions crap.

Great info. I think it is a great idea to own especially if you will continue to use the equipment on the property. Did have a question about paying for it. When it is time to get a construction loan can the cost, or part of the cost, of the machine be factored into the building cost you present to the bank?

This is the big question I am interested in.

great ideas. do you also need to buy a trailer to haul them around though?

@HowToBuildYourOwnHome 2 жыл бұрын

A used trailer can be about $2,000-3,000, and if it has a wall enclosure you can use it for trash and not have a dumpster.

If you're going to work on other people's property make sure you get a small business insurance policy to cover your liability, the tractor etc.

How capable would either of these be for digging a walkout basement? There wouldn't be a need to dig down but sideways. Of course it would take longer than big machinery but if you have the time why not? I can only think that the extra hours and maybe wear and tear would be a consideration not to do this.

Depends on the soil. A trackhoe is best for basement work.
