Thanks, Warren. A quick look doesn't come up with anything. I'll look more 
later. I think a full-size backhoe will be needed for the work I envision: 
digging out a hillside for a building, ripping out trees, building a dam, 
trenching for water lines, digging a basement, lifting heavy timbers and 
other construction stuff. I had my cousin's backhoe available to me here 
for a year and like them for their versatility. More clumsy that a 
skidsteer but will do more heavy work.
