I know what you mean, we got the backhoe attachment for our, the only problem with the 850 that I could imagine is manuavability. that's a lot of weight and I'd imagine it would surely slow the machine down. the big brother xtXXX whatever is awesome looking, if i was a utility contractor I'd have one in a heart beat.
also... duramax is that vermeer the diesel one or the gas? I demoed the gas one but the dealer couldn't/wouldnt get me a diesel. if so how do you like it?
