Our park is going to buy a mini excavator for trail building. We are likely going to buy a Kubota however there is some debate over which model to get so I was hoping to get some advice from people who have actually used them. Our goal for our trail is to have a narrow trail with a tread surface of approximately 24" to 36" with 8% grades. We do not want to make the trail too wide as the trail is multiuse and we are trying to keep bike speeds down. One person is recommending the Kubota KX71-3S but it is a rather large machine that is 4'11" wide(basically the size of a queen bed). I am recommending the KX018-4 with adjustable tracks from 4'3" to 3'3", it is also a smaller less expensive machine.
