That’s only $44.8 per hour for the operators(total cost of package). Need to pay those guys more. Dang

As someone who ran a link-belt before, they suck, they are slow, unless you get a brand new one, and they don’t last too long before the hydraulics get slow, they ain’t good machines too get but I will and do understand if you need a excavator and ain’t got the proper money, link belt is pretty much the cheapest to get I do understand that part

Ponds in Louisiana are free. They keep the dirt for pads for homes. Leave you with whatever size pond you want.
