Backhoe's are somewhat better than even sliced bread. Unfortunately right
now I'm in a position where I have to work overtime to make ends meet. If I
could sell the backhoe now, pay off debt, and buy another backhoe after I'm
better on my feet, I think it would be helpful. But it's like you said,
they are so useful that I don't know the I could ever be "done" with it. I
may be more disappointed if I sell it than if I don't.

Why not rent yourself out on it to make extra cash instead of selling
it, Roger?

Probably the cost of liability insurance, and the hassle of insuring the
local "call before you dig" gets called and utilities marked before
doing any work.
