As I was reading your post, I was thinking, "why not hire this out?" And that's fun how? Ask any big equipment operator and they'll all tell you the same thing. They're getting paid to play with huge Tonka's all day. It's a hoot! Actually, I keep underestimating the excavator's ability to quickly move a large amount of dirt. Every time I use it, I'm surprised. Problem is, it can only move it so far. Maybe 40 feet. A dumptruck only half solves the problem. 2 would be better. But ideally you need enough dumptrucks that the excavator is never sitting waiting for a truck to arrive. And the track loader comes in handy because what I'm doing is removing muck from a good rock/clay base, but it can't clean the base well enough to make good roadway for itself and the trucks.
