My manlift has a large peg that limits it at just a degree or two shy of being able to go round and round. Haven't been able to figure out why, and it's really annoying because if you want to get more than 180 degrees of spin out of it, you have to make sure it's facing the right way. And (as I'm sure is true of an excavator), it takes a second to determine what's front and back on it. I'll definitely rent one of those the next time I find a good excuse to do so. How are they about traveling up steep inclines? Can it handle anything my backhoe can handle as long as I keep the boom uphill? I've got a really leaky pond that needs clay packed into the dam walls on the inside of the pond. I could do it with the backhoe, but nowhere near as easily and quickly as I could with an excavator. I can have my son bring the clay in a yard at a time with the backhoe and I can just pack it against the dam. Would be easier than tearing down the dam and replacing with one with an appropriate amount of clay in it. In my experience, revs are the big enemy of those little rod bolts. And I can't imagine why anyone would run a marine engine at high revs. <g> Keep your fingers crossed and hope you don't end up with a rod shaped like your crossed fingers.
