I was in the excavating business for over 40 years and each and every piece of equipment has it's own specific features. The key is finding the piece that will be most universal for a small company who doesn't have millions to play around with. I stuck with Cat and John Deere for reliability, parts, and service when needed although I'm very mechanically enclined and did 95% of my own repairs. I might make one suggestion and that being many of these homeowner models are manufactured by one company.........MTD and quality has become an issue for many! Personally, I would stick with a commercial (not industrial) model that has a local dealer for parts and service and also QUALITY within the machine................like drive shafts vs belts, industrial engines vs basic run of the mill homeowner series, pumps.........they come from many manufactures, some good some junk! Also, operators comfort............the seat and controls, you're going to live on the machine if you have payments!!! I think from my perspective and investigation, SCAGG has the optimum machine............but that's just my personal opinion. I've heard that Hustler and Swisher also build a decent machine but again, Scagg has drive shaft vs Hustler and Swisher using belts! I guess what I'm getting at is the machine needs to be universal for both small and large jobs, local dealer for parts and servive if required, optimal comfort for the live-on operator, and last but not least, a unit that fits your wallet!
