Ken, my cousin owns an excavating company and has operated many different types of machines... As I am not to far from you I could ask his opinion if you still need advice...
My advice would be to grab that machine!!! those things are worth huge coin!!!

Most of my time was spent on a round point shovel and a crumb shovel. They are a lot smaller and don't have tracks.

I've been operating excavators for more years than I care to admit!
Heck.....I've even hit my fair share of phone lines, with them! LOL
(...and gas lines, and power lines, and sewer lines, and water lines.....I even found a swimming pool one time...that no one knew was there! LOL)

Ken, you pay to get me down there and I'll show you how to use it. Heck I'll even do the work free of charge.I've been looking for a Bobcat excavator to clear and maintain the "back-yard."
Well, one philanthropic organization I represent has offered to give me a much larger excavator. (Don't ask how or why they have it, but it's all very legal.) I'm told that it's not that old and is in good condition. They'll even deliver it for free in appreciation of the many courtesies I've extended to the members over the years.
Here's my problem. I don't know crap about excavators, how to operate one, or how to maintain one. Neither do my clients. More importantly, I don't know what to look for to make sure I'm not taking on a piece of junk I'll never be able to get rid of (after I clear my property, assuming I don't knock my house off its foundation.) The only earth-movers I've ever run are bobcats and backhoes.
Any suggestions or advice out there?

Ship him Fedex. I dare you.

Minor problem with the title that I need to get cleared up before I move it across state lines.

No, there's a title all right. The owner has agreed to sign it as soon as he's released........
