Help me find a mini excavator

[ropinghorns]

I recently signed a contract with a large phone company to uncover their broken lines for the splicer. This requires a mini ex with retractable tracks to quickly enter backyards with small gates. I would also want the blade to angle. Can you tell me what you know about these little guys? I have the TB135 Tachuchi and other trenchers and vibraotory plows, skid steers ,tractors ect. What should I buy? Thanks, Bill

Might want to look at a mini skid steer with the "backhoe" attachment for it. It's small enough for back yards and it's a more versatile machine.

Then you have a machine you can use for multiple purposes, besides, a mini-ex might be overkill as most telephone lines aren't buried very deep any more.
